Porus shows that it has to combine criminals

The starting blocks imposed by the police in sections of Manchester have proven to be a double -edged sword, especially for people who live and operate companies in Porus.

On the one hand, the Konstabulary says that the security measure is necessary to control murders and other violent crimes. In contrast, the residents are angry that the initial blocks have a harmful influence on their ability to make a living.

The residents have broadcast their symptoms for months, and last Wednesday her frustration cooked at a town hall meeting at the Trinity Baptist Church in Porus.

Take the case of a seller who has informed the meeting that your business has decreased since the introduction of the first curfew last October.

The woman, who spoke anonymously, described herself as a “small business owner”, the soup and other cooked food. She explained that she cooks at 9:00 a.m. Most of their sales come after people have left the work, especially after 6:00 p.m., but with the starting blocks from 6:30 p.m., they rarely receive sales and is therefore forced to drop most of the food.

“What can I do from my small company if there is an outcome lock? I have three children I can take care of. I pay my bills from my small company. We suffer from Porus at the outcome lock, ”she called.

This experience of the provider is not unique because the magnifying glasses of other business operators in this newspaper were broadcast in this newspaper.

The police, which organized the town hall to discuss security concerns, including the continuous imposition of initial barriers in the past six months, had pain to defend the measure and at the same time express the sympathy for the emergency of the residents.

The deputy superintendent of the police, Lohas Daniels, the community's operations, said that he understood the social and economic restrictions caused by the initial lock, compared this with the potential loss of life based on crimes.

The deputy superintendent Daniels informed the meeting that the measure works, since Manchester has had a reduction in criminal activities by 40 percent since the beginning of the year.

However, the problem is how the authorities find the right balance between fighting crime and can ensure that residents can make a living in order to fulfill their financial obligations.

There is a solution that does not represent the emotions of the mayor of Manteville Donovan Mitchell at the town hall meeting. While we agree that the authorities are necessary to sit with people and to see how best we can help to relieve some of the problems “, we cannot ignore the fact that he as Mandeville's first citizen and head of the community authority, which he already had the police, the business and the other political representatives who spoke about this matter in front of this.

As it looks now, the residents of Porus and other communities in Manchester are on the horns of a dilemma under the output lock.

It is an unpleasant reality, shows the country the disturbing nature of criminal behavior. And that, as we claim, should convey Jamaicans to unite against criminals, not give them support and to exchange information about their shameful activities with law enforcement authorities.

Regardless of criminals who represent modern Robin kapuzen, all communities should avoid them.

Jamaicans should not be exposed to the kind of life that now exists in Porus.
