A HEADLINE, “Neighbour’s threats unnerve man as two-yr-old is injured in attack”, tells the story of a long-ongoing situation of terror by a bullying neighbour on the family of Ramdannie, who said that during a recent incident of many recurring episodes of terror perpetrated against his family, he called the Diamond Police Station, which is right behind his home, and a female rank answered the phone, but when he asked for assistance, the rank rudely hung up the phone.He said he called back, begging the rank for assistance, and when the rank heard what was going on in the background, she accepted the call and asked him his name, address and age.

Thirty minutes later, the police vehicle came with about two ranks, and when they saw one Trevor with a sharp blade in his hand in front of Ramdannie’s house, the officers didn’t approach him. Ramdannie said that from the safety of his verandah, he pointed out to the ranks that that was the man who wanted to kill him and his family, but the officers did not do anything.

That man’s name is” Ramdannie”, so it is expected that the police might not show up, or show up long after the fact, or not act against their ‘kith and kin’ perpetrator even if they do show up.

That is why I said the US experts will be hired by the Government to train police on how to answer 911 calls, and will run back to the US with their ‘loot’, laughing all the way to the bank; because the problem is not lack of knowledge, but lack of will.

Majority Afro-Guyanese are traffic cops stopping and pulling over motorists of other ethnicities for no apparent violation, but for a shake-down.

‘Kith n Kin’ is very much alive and well in that area. This is a well-known fact. All anyone has to do is a sting operation and they will see the proof.

No matter what Government does – even give them like $10,000.00 per hour — they will not answer that 911 call. The lady cops in there will be too busy looking into their little mirrors, checking on their makeup, gossiping and flirting with male colleagues.

I have seen it with my very eyes up at Lands and Mines. I have seen this at the Passport Office and at City Hall, that there is rampant discrimination in public service.

I have seen how drugs pass at our airport. The airport lady checker will pull over people wearing thin rubber slippers and do their drug inspection. I laugh so much at them, because I know they are performing for those who are watching them on camera, but what the camera people do not know is that, while they are checking out these thin rubber slippers, those who are wearing the thick-heeled clogs pass right through.

Only the Good Lord can help Guyana from these parasites who infiltrate almost every institution in Guyana.

The young taxi driver found dead with a bullet wound to his head is someone I knew; and although the police are working on several theories, one of which is that Darsan is the victim of a botched carjacking by a lone passenger, some people are saying that it is not a robbery, period. They are saying that the kid was arguing with an angry, dangerous black driver in another vehicle, and for that he got killed, but the police are hushing this up.

A bandit was caught and beaten by citizens moments after snatching a Blackberry Phone. When law enforcement ranks arrived on the scene, the beating ceased and they claimed that the man was a known thief who was convicted on similar charges before. One rank said, “Boy, is not just the other day I warned you? Yuh ain’t mean to stop?”

He is a known thief who is still on the outside terrorising innocent citizens.

Then the police officer’s words: “Boy, is not just the other day I warned you? Yuh ain’t mean to stop?”

He will not stop. He is known to the police, so this is why he won’t stop. He will get another warning to stop, so he can continue to terrorise innocent citizens over and over and over.

Someone should ask the victims if they felt joy or sheer terror whilst being robbed.

“I feel empty and lost” – Linden fire victim estimates her losses to be over $10M.

Depressed people do not own homes. Repressed people do not amass $10M. This should be brought to the attention of all those PNCites who claim Linden is a depressed community.

Government should stop appeasing these people now, and give $5 electricity rates to the really poor people in the country.
