Costly blunders, avoidable embarrassments
Regarding my lead caption and issue(s), I have to be extremely cautious lest I upset a few readers. So sensitive are the two issues in our fragile national community today. And even though this “sermon” is coming from a concerned senior citizen, its repetition will ruffle some feathers. But here goes.
Quite recently Linden – and the nation I daresay – became outraged at the heinous death of a young lady, allegedly at the hands of a young man who had produced and presented a rap-like disgusting dancehall video and who, verifiably, had a weapon in his possession.
Quite naturally the community’s anger, grief and outrage over the murder or manslaughter – (you bet his defence would argue that the shooting was accidental) – were justified. Especially after the beautiful still young victim was buried in a backyard grave in a gruesome sitting position.
