MALA Persaud was left disfigured in an acid attack, which occurred in June last year, after she complained about noise nuisance, but she says she has lost the will to pursue the matter, as the police are continuing to show no interest.

Although there has been a remarkable change in her facial appearance after three surgeries, she still avoids looking in the mirror, and hardly goes out in public.

I knew that one day — and I said it — people would be hurt and even killed for this noise nuisance nonsense. I hope the police officers who are in the pockets and payrolls of these noise polluters think about this before they count their dollars.

People work different shifts, so they eat and sleep at different times. People are sick and need peace and quiet at all times; and children do need peace and quiet to concentrate on their school work, which is called homework.

The police must be reminded that not all people like the music, the lyrics, the rhythms and beats of the loud music that they took money to allow their payroll masters to blast in the ears and minds of others.

I once asked a guy who was playing loud music if he likes Chinese music, and he said no. I asked him why, and he said nobody listens to Chinese music. I asked him, “You wanna bet people do?”
He said, “Yeah, yeah, I know what you saying, but Chinese music is not popular.”

I then asked him why he thought that I wanted to hear the trash he was playing and calling popular music, and I also asked if I were to pump loud Chinese music in his eardrums, like he was doing to others and me, if he would like it, and he replied that he does not like Chinese music.

I then told him to think about what he was saying, and asked him why he thought that I or others liked the trash he called music; and I advised him that we did not want to hear it, so he should play it so that only he could hear it.

A repeat offender told the court, “…everybody does make mistake, so see with me.
24-year-old Seon Blair, a mason as reported, told the court, “Your Worship, I would like to know if you could see with me. Everybody makes mistakes. I went to visit a relative. I ain’t want to lie; I rather talk the truth. Everybody makes mistakes. I is nah de first.”

I would love to stand there and tell the magistrate that one day in the near future, this convict, Seon Blair, would graduate to killing to defend his loot.

Seon Blair is not a stupid criminal. He was very clever not to fight back against Grant Wynter, the victim in this case. But one day soon to come, if this convict is let go through the revolving door of justice, he will break and enter another home, most likely with an elderly person, and once confronted, he may kill to defend his loot.
These are the convicts most citizens are so afraid of, and they are the reason why people lock their doors with ten locks and put big bars on their windows during the day and night.

Seon Blair, with two previous convictions, told the court he has two children. Why would the court want to entertain this stupid idea of this convict having two children? You bet your life Seon Blair does not support any of his two kids, period. But if he does, why doesn’t he work to support them?

It’s a well known fact that some men make kids and take off, leaving the mothers to fend for the kids while they go to other women to make more kids. I often wonder if the chief magistrate does not know what is going down in Guyana when it comes to criminals like this one. Or do they in the judiciary turn a blind eye to 110% facts?
