Jackass sey di worl' no level. Jackass sey some man a real bad man, real tough man, cause is ongle 12 a dem it tek fi kill a woman an' a girl pickney.

Oh, how bad the bad men who killed Maureen Bennett and Damone Skyers in Torrington Park last Thursday morning are. It took so much courage, so much daring, so much nerve, for 12 men to burn the house of a 47 year-old woman and a seven year-old girl and then force their way in and shoot them on top of it.

Wow! These men must be candidates for bravery medals! They took such a risk! They could have been seriously hurt! The little girl could have got them all with a pencil!

Murderers, in and out of uniform, disgust Jackass. No, they don't disgust me, they make me want to vomit. They tend to make reputations as 'bad man' not by actually doing anything that requires a lot of courage but by committing acts that show they are heartless. Like killing children. Like killing women. Like catching another person or persons off-guard and murdering them.

There is hardly ever a situation where the 'bad man', in or out of uniform, actually takes on another 'bad man' on equal footing to see just who is bad man. And who is dead one-time bad man, naturally.

Unequal killing

It is all this unequal killing, like that in Torrington Park. Hell, this looks like a higher extra workmen ratio than a work site, where often it looks like there are two people actually working while five others stand around in hard hats looking intently at the hole being dug.

In fact, it was unequal killing for unequal killing, as the men apparently did not have Damone Skyers and Maureen Bennett as their primary targets. That was Clive Clarke, reputed 'area leader' (why the hell do they continue to use that term, which makes it sound like cub scout business?), after 87 year-old Benniah Lindo was killed about two weeks earlier.

The world is not level at all, because bad man and bad man hardly ever face off. It is like boxing, where top boxers make a name whupping some lesser pugilists and, to actually see two top fighters in the peak of condition and in the prime of their careers face off against each other, it takes more negotiations than nuclear disarmament and more money than it would require to end world hunger.

And, after the bout has been hyped and hyped and hyped (staredown and press conference fake fight and all), someone injures a pinkie finger opening a tin of Vienna sausages and there goes the fight.

So, in this case, the police have named six men, among them 'Creggy', 'Baller', 'Bully' and 'Paps', who they believe can assist them in their investigations. Hmm. When the police use those terms it is often very bad news for those who are being called upon to render assistance.

Better them than Jackass.
