Huh????
This article: Legacy of peace built on life of crime in the Trinidad Express has me a bit confused.
So, is the government and the PM in bed with these gang leaders? After reading the article I was so perturb that I called my friend in Trinidad, call me stupid, but something is wrong here. After ranting to my friend his response to me was, “Trinis all know that’s been going on for a long time now…the government is corrupted, the police is politically corrupted so they have no choice but to be on the same side with them.” So is this why the crime is so rampant in Trinidad, because the gang leaders know that they are running things and the heads of state dare not try to curtail their activites?
I am on the outside looking in, so when I read these things it’s hard for me to understand why these people are still in power. But then who can be trusted, because UNC and COP also met with this said gang leader.
I think the person who responded to the article in the ‘post a comment’ summed it up perfectly:-
Confused
I really don’t understand this…if all of this history and illegal activity is known, then why aren’t gang leaders been held responsible for their actions? Where is the police in all of this? And why are the leaders even negotiating with these people? And it’s in the newspapers time and time again. I am quite bewildered!!
