Met, I saw this on Lisa Hanna’s IG and bad feeling just teck mi same time. How did we get to this state? I really don’t care to know where else shit like this happens, it should not be happening on our soil. We really need to start having some realistic, nonreligious conversations. We need to get some practical solutions going. What’s in place is NOT WORKING! Time for us to get real and smell di hog shit all around us.
Me like you style of protest; I’ll go one dteo further and say we need fi purge de place-women not excluded.
Seriously! And as women we need to protect our fertility and heavily scrutinize whose DNA we choose to carry on, if dat mean some have to remain childless fi ensure a better progeny then that is the sacrifice some of us will have to make to fix this situation. Jamaica is all we have, we have to ensure the best state of existence for all. The level of brutality and wickedness against weaker ppl whether children, seniors, the disabled or women is astounding. Look at the richness of our culture, look at the innovativeness of WI ppl, are we really going to sit back and allow these dregs of di toilet pit fi destroy everything? We just going to sit, pray and hope that by some miracle just happens?
Time fi closed mouths and blind eyes must end, time fi start inform, time fi start neighbourhood watch and keep logs of every movement especially those of strangers, time fi start hear who making death threats and report dem, time fi all who have illegal guns get reported. All who keeping closed lips and blind eye memba that unno children will have to inherit the land, and they will have to take on worse that this present day if unno nuh meck the choice to do what is right and clean up di place.

Why are you derailing the topic and shifting it into political territory? What does the state of the woman’s home have to do with the brutality that was meted out to her?
Actually I did not derail from the topic. I did not imply this was politcal you did. I stated that Ms Hanna knew of the victim and did her own write up. The lady not living in favourable conditions is the Concern of the MP after all they are put in the constituency to micro manage. The care of the disabled and mentally challenged also falls under our government. They make policies for the country. The criminal who did this is also under politics because if there was prevention there would not have to be a cure.
Dis is a heinous act :nohope
