There is a new Anti Crime Plan in Jamaica.
In an effort to stem the "killing fields" in Jamaica, the Prime Minister has unveiled his overdue anti crime plan.
NEW ANTI-CRIME MEASURES INCLUDE:
-Minimum 10 years for gun crimes..
-Criminal suspects can be detained for 72 hours..
-Denial of bail for serious crimes for up to 60 days..
-Majority of nine jurors of 12 can decide on non-capital murder..
-Police to get access to restricted information..
-Use of DNA evidence..
-Testimony from secure and remote locations.

The Criminal Rights Activists (aka Human Rights Activists) have won and he has watered down his original stance.
Let me tell these CRA (Criminal Rights Activists) that what they got will not deter or reduce the crime rate in Jamaica, They are a set of ideological fools living under a false sense of security, with their heads in the sand.
The measures do not address the following:
-removing the illegal guns already in the hands of the terrorists.
-addressing the shortcomings of the upcoming generation to prevent them from getting into crime.
If the terrorists, with illegal firearms, do not get caught, then they will continue to run amok with impunity.
One thing that is missing in the anti crime plan, by its obvious omission, is the penalty for HAVING IN YOUR POSSESSION an illegal firearm. If you are caught with an illegal firearm, you should be penalized. However, I suppose the CRA will no doubt object to that method of thinking.
This is a missed opportunity.

Good point on the illegal firearms. That really is a missed opportunity. But the human rights activists have a point too. Trampling on the rights of one group in order to secure the rights of another is contradictory and problematic... and taking away some rights in order to secure others is really a 6 and half dozen scenario... Anyways, it's not like I have the answer...
This seems to be a revolving diatribe about the involvement of the Human Rights Activists having a point.
It has been pointed out to me that there was blatant misuse of power in the past and the HRA are afraid that there will be a repeat of such misuse.
My question to the HRA is what rights were given to the murdered?
I don't have the answers either, but you can't afford to have 2000 people murdered each year, and do nothing to stop the wanton slaughter.
