Mr. Philbert don't be surprised that these gangster rappers have the real guns on them -- why don't see that your men need to have their guns as well to protect themselves and families as well. Anyone can work out the maths here -- give the Police Officers of whom you are so concerned their personal firearms and forget the ole talk that is so prevalent. What next Mr. Security Minister?

This is just to show the state the country has reached when these fools making videos abt killing Police and showing Guns in the video and what is the Government going to do about this...NOTHING.
It's high time the Government stop playing Politics with the people especilly the Police Service and give the officers the permission to Kill these guys because they are no use to the society, only causing grief and heartache for families. I am not concerned about who may be upset at my response but it's high time that we do something to stop the madness that's going on.
You study votes and not the safety of the citizens |

Now I hope the cops get the message. These young thugs are not afraid to kill people so don't be afraid to get rid of them. Like I always say the grannies will cry and say he was a good boy but won't say he was a menace to society. I hope the cops identify the punks and the area where they are to finish them off. The lyrics do not sound like Trini so check out those small islanders who think Trinis are afraid of them. |

educating our young people,then how is
this situation possible.My family and
friends have you and our police officers in prayer.God can move many
obstacles including crime,hate,filth in

find them, jail them,no mercy for them, isolation while in detention, they make everyone in this nation want to run, they feel they strong because of the gun, the law of the land more badder than any man, don't treat them like juveniles, even with tears in their eyes, give them the catonine, till they go blind. they have no mercy for life, no matter husband child or wife.
with all seriousness the laws should be amended, remember when a kaisonian sings a smut, what happens. and youtube should be sued for aiding and abetting them. |

This is distasteful and shocking to read let alone,knowing that the people involved are hell bent in destroying our once beautiful and peaceful island Acting Com we're with you.By all cost get to the bottom of this video and pull every one in.Please be very careful when sending in your officers. Try to keep them as safely as you can. Ask for the Soldiers to accompany you and your men at any time of the day or night your men are going in.These guys are are ruthless thugs and does not care for their lives, let alone yours or mines. Hunt them down and bring them in Dead or Alive. We the Nation must give our support but more so those of us who are living in these areas noted for many of these murders in the past year or so.We are praying for all of you to bring peace in our land and your safety whenever you go out on assignments.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think it is also the responsibility of the Media to consider the consequences of their actions. Giving these idiots press time is just what they wanted. We have to remember that we have tens of thousands of very impressionable youths, who may see these miscreants as role models. In the absence of any apparent Great Leaders or Outstanding Role Models (Thompson excepted) we may have to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative! It's not all about selling Newspapers or advertising time on TV. Certant Omnes. |

This article is disgusting and shows the height to which criminality has ascended in T'dad. Recently 52 murderers had their death penalty commuted to life in prison. Wait they will soon be saying that is unjust, and they should be paroled, thr fact that they have shed blood, is irrelevant, and this nonsense continues, criminals given legitmacy. It is for this very reason these evil gits can make this show knowing that the law is useless. When is the hangman noose going to be in operation. When Ramesh put Dole Chadee gang, it didn't matter about Amnesty or anyone else, why now with this rampant lawlessness, government lethargy and to be truthful indifference, my heart grieves for my nation. As for following the pattern of Jamaica, what poor taste, it shows people of little intelligence, why not follow the good examples of that country. I pray before they kill any policeman, they lay them low. Send in the Army. |

Citizens are scared and nothing is being done. This is only the first video. If you go watch the video you will be patronizing the criminal elements. I only hope we all don't get caught up watching this video. If we do more will come and Tnt Negative name will flourish on the biggest video website in the world. Investors will see us as criminals and if you think the economy is bad now, wait till the other thugs see how these guys are getting their internet fame, many other videos will come. |

What is the title to this video on youtube.com? This is the kind of arrogance that can be displayed by criminals in Trinidad. They have no fear of conequences, no boundries to their behavior because they are free to operate above the law and can be assured that they will not pay for their criminal behavior. How does the average citizen cope with these types of predatory characters? The government seemingly can't control them and they know it and the average citizen does not have the means to fend them off. The government needs to legalize firearms and issue them to law abiding citizens, otherwise we are just sitting ducks awaiting the arrival of these criminal types. The government is either intent or incapable of doing anything about them. The murder rate at the end of August will clearly show that the government is incapable or incompetent in addressing any crime in Trinidad. In Trinidad the murder statistic seems to be the on statistical guidepost tat however, we pay attention to, however, that are other occurances of crime like theft, robberies, autotheft, etc, etc. that are happening in the same uncontrollable way as the killings. Lief in Paradise...Just beautiful!!! |

I applaud Mr. Philbert for his initiative, however doe the Police Service had the technology to enhance the images of these thugs and remove the from the street? The one in the green cap should be easily identified and apprehended. If you lean on him hard enough you should be able to break him . Good Luck sir. P.S. the City of West Palm Beach had a similar incident about six month ago, you might consider contacting Chief Bush for assistance in this matter.

This is absolute madness, in this place where chaos, lawlessness and absolute self indulgence prevails. There is nothing the politicans can do to stop this plague. As a young citizen, this crime, gross disrespect for life and law has to come to an end with us as the next generation. No Prime Minister, no President, no National security Minister is capable of bringing an end to this. We as young people have to open our eyes and our hearts and stop sleep walking, All of us who prefer to live in the diaspora as I have for many years and not return home because you think you are better of that way, I urge you to think about it. Trinidad and Tobago needs us. We are the future here. These young men and women are crying out for love and attention. Each time I view these types of articles it makes me think about City of God. 1.3 million people is not hard to manage, but everybody wants to make a million dollars for themselves, live lavish lifestyles and is more concerned about who can see them than what is happening in our country. You people wake up we have to have a revolution of ideas. We can do it. |

Trinidad is not a safe place and the way things are going it looks like it will never be a safe place. This morning i was going to work and in broad daylight 7.45 am on the highway waiting to cross to go to work a male of african decent walked up to me flashed what appeared to be a 9.mm automatic pistol. He told me to hand over my belongings otherwise he would shoot me dead on the highway.i handed over my gold band and ring and he just casually walked off. This freak is of african decent, about 5,4 and was wearing a blue jersey and black 3/4 jeans. Why is it that the hard working people have to give up what they worked hard for and these lawless freaks have to enjoy the benefits of of another man sweat, blood and tears. this is why when i see this video it realy upsets me. The way they talk about the police, law abiding citizenz and people of indian decent is just apauling. what is also bad is that these freaks boasts about what they have done as if it is some great accomplishment in life. all that i have to say to these people is "what goes around comes around".and it is jus a matter of time before those same guns are turned back to them. |

This is a clear case of the deliquent people,that call thenselves community leaders and the anointment by this government to these criminals. I just hope that the Commissioner of Police lead a team of officers to arrest these men for the branishing of a weapon and the treats that were made upon his officers. And all these money hungry lawyers that go beyond integrety to defend evil, damnation may follow you. To end my chrade to this topic, my dear Commissioner of Prison,those 52 inmates that were taken off of death row, I understand that there will be a new intake of Prison Officers soon, how will you put this to them, that when ever someone is committed of a crime they are not to be punished but therefore RESTORATED, so whenever this criminal for the murder of one of your comrade is ever capture and sent on restoration, what is the relif of justice for the officers' family, his co-workers, and yes the new recruits that may be inducted? You have a major role in this crime fighting initiative, so start to work. |

So enacting legislation to ban lyrics endorsing violence will stop them? Really?
The naivete betrayed by that suggestion is incredible. These are criminals, not law-abiding citizens. What the hell do they care about laws? There are laws banning murder, does that stop them?
The spirit, mentality and mode of operation of Randolph Burroughs need to be invoked to deal with the crime situation.
The reality is that the law and lawyers work more in favour of the rights of criminals than ordinary citizens. These criminals are being empowered by these two elements daily. What a pity! |

Now do some police work and identify these criminals, cause you have the best evidence at your fingertips - VIDEO! I'm 3000 miles away and I feel like I'm doing the police work for you.

These talents needs to be harnessed into a pool that will overflow to the benefits of the nation as a whole.All these angry youths who are following the Jamaican ghetto art form just need to go back to our Trini art form and carry on the legacy left by the pioneers. What will be left for the pre-teens to inherit in five to ten years to come?. Music teachers,drama teachers start free classes in your community centers to tap into the raw unharnessed and indisciplined talents that are calling for avenue to vent. |

This song is over a year old. it also isn't the only song that this guy sang. gangster rap is his artform, it may be seen as a negative genre, but all the Movado and 50 cent tunes that are so prevalent on the nations radios are alot worst. The only thing that differentiates him from them is that they have major recording contracts. personally, i am glad that this is how he is trying to get his message across rather than mugging or killing someone literally. It's time the newspapers give good news and stop making everything seem worse than it is. |

I must say that I am not at all surprised by that video, reason being that the horse has already bolted long ago from the stable.
I have said over and over why is it that those immoral songs and acts performed by overseas artists (especially Jamaican) are allowed into Trinidad.
The Government has a duty to protect the morals of the nation. No one would allow someone to enter his home and behave in an abominable manner. Likewise,the Government has to sift the stuff that is entering the country and make a decision to reject.
Little Grenada has banned Passa Passa. Trinidad just seems to be allowing anything and everyone into the country to polute and further demoralise our Youth.
We must remember that whatsover we sow, we will reap. |

This is so sick, it is not funny. These young boys have nothing better to do with their lives but sing on killing and violence?! I guess we are going to blame the government for this too right? These individuals are lawless, demonic people. Sadly, it is in my opinion, that once the police identify who they are they need to be dealt with and not through any court or jury but by the same means they are depicting in this video! These people need to be rid of. They are polluting the society and are inciting unnecessary violence because they refuse to do anything else with their lives!!! |

“NOT COMING HOME FOR CARNIVAL 2009.”

As you are all aware, Trinidad and Tobago has become a country with a very high incidence of murders, robberies, rape, assault, kidnapping, sexual assault, murders, and other various crimes. Many of us are appalled at the level of such horrific crime and of the level of crime that goes unsolved. However, this is not the main problem at hand. The main problem is the lack of the Government’s ability to curtail this problem. We all love and care deeply about our country and will do whatever we can to enjoy its beauty and hospitality. We return home in numbers every Carnival to enjoy ourselves and return to our respective countries abroad to boast of how beautiful our islands are.
However, we seem to forget that even though the crime does not directly affect us, that our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and other family members are affected daily. We seem to still consider our land paradise, while many children ages 3, 5, 7, 9, and as young as six-months old, are raped, buggered, and killed. We seem to forget the next day that another of our country men and women were killed by being shot 6, 7, 8, and as much as 18 times, mostly to their head. We seem to forget that in a country blessed with oil, natural gas, tourism, money, that people are dying everyday from dengue fever, aids, hepatitis, and generally a lack of proper health services. We all complain about how bad the situation is and that the Government is not doing anything. We all complain that the police is involved in the crime itself. Yes, maybe all this is true, but we never seem to be able to come up with a solution. Well let us start today to come together and create an environment where changes will have to be made.
Our mission states that as our civic duty we all must come together and protest this callous way in which our country (Trini Paradise) is being destroyed. Our first protest action is to send a message that NO CARNIVAL is as important as the lives of children. We have decided to protest our Government’s lack of care for our country by “NOT COMING HOME FOR CARNIVAL 2009.”
No more are we going to standby and allow Trinidad and Tobago to become infested with hate, murders, kidnapping, rape, and disease. Our mission today is to send a strong and loud message that we are tired and fed-up with the way our country is going. Send a message that we care not about tall buildings, when a need a hospital with beds. We care not about an aluminum smelter when the cost of food is causing many to go hungry. We care not about a Prime Ministers residence costing $200 million dollars when many are homeless. We care not about a private jet when a man is turned away from getting a visa and still has to pay the $800.00 fee to the American Embassy. We care not about Carnival when an all-inclusive costs as much as $1000.00. How can we enjoy Carnival when you have to leave before it gets dark? How can you truly enjoy Trinidad and Tobago when we return home, the generation we left kidnap us and rob us of our belonging? How can you tell me you enjoyed being home when you know Trinidad has so much money and still you see vagrants a hundred times more than when we were selling oil at $28.00 a barrel to the world?
Please email this to everyone in your address books whether Trinidadian or not and sign our petition so that when the Government says that crime is not affecting tourism, they will see that it does. They will see that we as a people will not stand-by and allow them to play games with the lives of our brothers and sisters.
One question I have to ask is; do you remember the days when you could go and visit a girlfriend or your man in Morvant or Diego Martin? Do you remember the days of shopping on Fredrick Street on a Saturday morning with music playing in the background? Do you remember going to Maracas Beach with friends and enjoying the day? What about the children in the yard playing marbles or flying kites? Can you remember the days of Atlantis Disco, Party-time, Fresh-Fest, and Morvant Savannah with Dr. Hyde, Star-Child, D’Professionals, Chinese Laundry, and Howie-T? Do you remember watching Break dancing on Fredrick Street on a Friday afternoon in front of Consort Mall? Well those days are gone; we were the last generation to enjoy the good ‘Ole days. Nevertheless, we must make a stand to save our forgotten generation and bring back some sense of belonging and happiness to our country for the sake of us all. Some say they will never return to Trinidad to live, I say even in death we shall

Crime is crime,regardless of the form it comes in.Some will argue that these brainless cowards are exercising their Constitutional right-freedom of speech and expression-.This could have been a valid arguement,if these acts weren't being actually carried out,outside of this video. However,because the atmosphere,in our daily lives consist of this rancit behaviour,this type of freedom is not acceptable.This behaviour constitutes a breach of decent living and breaches the"Spirit and Letter of the Law".But selective enforcement should not be encouraged.Therefore it will be prudent,for the COP to balance his attack and focus on the politicians and white-collar actors,who also break the laws or facilitate any form criminal behaviour,without documenting it,in the same form as this video.Aubert Modeste. |
