Today I read a really disappointing and horrific report on a fellow Trini's blog. I credit her for posting the blog first. The news depressed me and tears came to my eyes when I read the article. I have posted the link to the Trinidad Express where the article was published (click on the title). This is horrendous! The article was published in yesterday's newspapers about a thirteen year old boy who was tortured, beaten, soddomized and mutilated in such a way that not even his own parents could recognize his body. It broke my heart and in today's newspapers, like typical Trinis, the villagers were blaming the parents. These fu*king people should at least sympathize with the parents and thank their lucky stars that it was not their kid. No, it is not the parents fault that they wanted to see a better life for their kid. Maybe it's a failing government and a cabinet filled with jacka**es who are incompetent and incapable of doing their jobs. What the fu*k is wrong with these people?
Okay so now to put the cream on the cake......a clueless son of a gun in parliament, Social Development minister, Anthony Roberts, comes out and says that the government is going to fix child protection laws while he "expresses his distress and horror" about the murder of the boy. Am I the only one seeing something wrong with this statement? Is this the first such incident? Surely the newspapers were reporting or the murder/kidnapping,etc. all along. Which makes me wonder to myself, "where the fu*k was this a**hole all along?" He now realizes that he has to fix the laws! Maybe he took a trip in Wonderland and he just came back!
Where else in the world will a government release a known terrorist and allow such high class sh*t to happen right under their noses? Do these people have any access to televisions and newspapers? Are they clueless? Anyone who has ever sat in on a parlimentary debate or watched it on the television will know what I am speaking about. Trinidad's government and the opposition is made up of a bunch of bullshitters! With the amount of shit that is spoken in the Red House, i am suprised that they just didn't change the name to the Out House. It would suit them just fine!
Trinidad's problem starts at the highest level. There is no strict enforcement of the law, no accountability and every fu*king thing has to do with a bribe and who you know and how much fu*king money you have! There is no punishment for crimes like these and I have already stated my position on these fu*king no good bastards. All child molestors/predators/assaulters should be thrown in prison and be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law. But wait, what the fu*k kind of law is there anyway to enforce?
Now, yesterday was not the first time news like this was reported. Trinis like us who live abroad miss Trinidad so much because when we lived there, these atrocities were unheard of! I know of times when we were little when we left our doors open at night and we would stay out late at night "limin'" with friends. What is the government waiting for? Maybe their children are protected and hence they do not have to frigging worry about them being kidnapped and raped or soddomized! Trinidad is such a small country with such a big crime rate that it is just shameful. I feel ashamed to say that this is what such a beautiful country has been reduced to. The country is beautiful, the minds that are in power are destroying it.....let me not get started on their smelters......(fumin')
And about Permanand Persad, I hope his soul escapes the bounds of Earth for good....I pray for his family so that they will find some way to cope.
