| Mayor Leon Thomas |
It was sheer pandemonium at the meeting in Portmore last night, which was presided over by Mayor Leon Thomas. The police had to be called in. Did we set up this meeting for a war between the JLP and the PNP? Are we setting up things for a war for the next elections? The people of this country must not be a part of this war. We have been there before, and we must not go back there. Why was this meeting called, and what was the expected outcome? What were the objectives?
Why did the people attend the meeting? What did they expect to achieve? Please, I would like some responses.
We are here fighting for power for a little 2 x 2 country that has been here for possibly millions of years. We are only here for a short time. This land and the world will still be here after we become part of the dust.
Remember, in 1980, over 800 people lost their lives due to political violence. The poor, suffering old people who lived at the Eventide home were consumed in a fire alleged to have been set by thugs. Many others lost their lives fighting for what they did not even know they were fighting for. Fighting against their brothers and sisters who were dragged here on the same slave ships only to be used as slaves by our colonial masters. Those colonial masters must be laughing in their graves and saying, "I told you those descendants of slaves would be better off as slaves."
Let those who want to fight for power and glory fight for it, but let not the people fight against one another when they have nothing to gain.
All we gained from the 1980 elections were dead bodies. All we will gain from the next elections is the same set of politicians. It does not matter which side of parliament they sit on. Just don't allow them to take you for a 'pappy show'.
I understand that one woman was assaulted during the melee and she could file charges for assault.
