Many people believe that the recent States of Emergency (SOEs) have helped to reduce the level of crime in Jamaica. They probably do not understand why many are not just worried about the constitutionality of SOEs, but also the history of a very nasty state of emergency in Jamaica. This was the 1976 State of Emergency.
This makes the decision of the courts this week to rule the recent SOEs unconstitutional very intriguing.
How many of my Bark Di Trute readers heard about the 1976 State of Emergency? I will not go into details, but the level of state terrorism then was abominable. Many were detained without just cause, and many lost their lives. Jamaica should never go down that road again.
