Well that figures,....that is maybe the reason you can take the point of view you do so lightly,..you dont have to encounter a young mans brains blown all over the pavement by a trigger happy policeman,or the bullet holes in his face. </div></div>

<span style="color: #660000">This goes back to the statement I made earlier, that criminals are being accorded more rights than their victims.
1. How many teenage girls, living in downtown communities, have to submit there virginity to a don, against the very will of their parents? That is rape, not to mention the statutory type !! If any of you have daughters, specifically teenage ones, living in these communities you wouldn't have the opinions you do(assuming that you care about your daughter(s).)
2. How many of you have ever seen the bullet riddled bodies of the many victims of violent gun-crimes, or seen (and smelled) bodies that had been burnt by criminals, after a murder? Obviously not many, if any at all. Lets hope you have neither relatives or friends who could potentially suffer any of these fates, and if so, that you never have to view such a body. I wouldn't wish that on my enemy !!
3. How many of you have ever had to run/crouch, in order to avoid the occasional bullet, from snipers etc.? Probably never have, I would imagine, yet this was the fate of the residents of Spanish Town who had this cruel restriction imposed on them by gunmen, until a police-military operation drastically reduced crime there. The residents cheered the army as it went into Spanish Town.
4. How many of you had to experience the fates of Montego Bay residents who were being shot randomly by gunmen as they peacefully went about their business in their community? The gunmen went from community to community repeating the same atrocities. Most likely the people who feel comfortable with these criminals would be well-protected from them by the same security forces that they criticize.
5. For all the talk about the innocence of the Tivoli community, I'm sure none who think this way would accept an invitation to spend a long time living in these communities.
The hypocracy of this situation reeks to high heaven. It's always easier to "talk the talk, than to walk the walk." I usually make sure that I can "walk the walk, the way I talk the talk."
I am for Human Rights, but if it becomes a double standard which criminals can use to hide from punishment, and retribution, for their acts of cruelty, then I want no part of it. This was also stated in different words by residents of Spanish Town; when the security forces were accused of man-handling suspects, residents stated that they were willing to give up some freedoms, temporarily, so that the criminals involved in regular shoot-outs could be apprehended.</span>
