I didn't know you need a 'license' to protest in this country!!!!!!! : it's ridiculous!!!! they arrest somebody for protesting against crime for not having a license and the kidnappers, robbers and murderers have a free license every day in the streets of this country! shame! shame!!! shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kidnappings in Trinidad Caribbean / Tobago & Trinidad

Has anyone looked at the newspapers yesterday? I'm not sure which one, but one of them had an article stating that Trinidad is is 2nd behind Colombia in kidnappings and the world is taking notice.

Would anyone have ever believed that fellow Trinis would have become so self-centered as to not respect or value human life?
I cannot believe that I have to watch for strange cars as I pull in my driveway or think of an escape route just in case someone is following me. Is that anyway to live?
As for the 19yr. old Pooran boy, I think that he deserves whatever is dished out to him.  Maybe in prison he'll have time to think about the consequences of his actions.

I'm not a Trini but having living here for a while I would say, I have seen how the attitute of the people is and I'm not particularly surprised or amazed....but then again maybe someone that has been living here for more than 20 years can give more insights about this and compare.

I hear you Alana, I do that all the time! no, is no way to live...this is 'survive'.

Trinidad Kidnappings

I read this article from the Trinidad express, this is a quote from former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani  "You should not negotiate with kidnappers, he declared. He said he knew emotions usually ran high and that it was believed that the ransom money would result in the kidnap victims being freed. But, he added, it was the payment of ransom that made kidnappings a business."
"You dont want it to be a crime where they can easily get money but where they can be caught. Do not make it a worthwhile crime."

Kidnappings in Trinidad

It easy to say in theory, but when the object lesson to make it not a worthwhile crime is your own mom, dad or child you tend to think differently.

That's so true. I agree with you and was thinking the same thing when I read it even though I feel that some things he said is logic, because it does take money to keep a business up and running.

That is why the government needs to focus on prevention rather than cure. They are looking for a cure after someone is kiddnapped rather than a way to prevent kiddnapping from happening.
