Time Wi Stop Ramp Wid Di Dutty Criminal Dem!!!

Jamaica For Justice (JFJ) is urging the Senate to reject the parliamentary vote for the extension of the state of emergency? This is a shocking position of this human rights organization. JFJ has been a great organization in the past, but it is becoming more like a political party seeking state power, rather than defending the human rights of the people.

I should point out that the people of Jamaica elected the members of parliament. The position of Prime Minister, the position of Leader of the Opposition and Senators are not positions that persons are democratically elected to. How can the JFJ encourage the non-elected to over-rule the elected! What a preposterous position. The JFJ has finally made itself irrelevant, and it is time to have a genuine human rights organization rather than an organization pretending to defend our human rights while at the same time, seeking to undermine the position of the majority of those who were elected to lead us.

I agree that the State of Emergency is an over-worked strategy although it is still necessary. There is the need to put other things in place to deal with the elevated level of crime so when a state of emergency is put in place, the nation realizes that things are serious. Until such time that other measures are put in place, the only tool we seem to have now is the state of emergency. People are being killed like flies, and if that is the only tool we have now, we must use it. 

We cannot stop using the state of emergency as a tool until we start to socially reengineer the society and we build a society where from the Head to the Toe will be held accountable for any action taken and we create a place where most realize that crime does not pay, and when we come into conflict with the law, we will pay dearly for it. Political Parties over the years should have nothing to say now, because they have spent years in power and the problem continues to escalate. We have big Chat but little Effective Action!

Note:

I hear there is talk about giving judge’s discretion to determine the length of incarceration for a convicted murderer. Absolute rubbish! If one attempts to murder someone, that person should get a minimum of thirty years. If the person kills someone for the first time, then the least they should get is life sentence. If the convicted person commits murder for a second time, then that person’s life should be taken from them, and all their assets seized and given to the dependents of the murdered persons. Any future benefits such as royalties and assets willed to that person should also automatically go to the dependents of the murdered individual.

It is time wi stop ramp wid di dutty criminal dem!!!
