A big report by the BBC. Do you think the recent documentary by the BBC about the crime rate and kidnappings in Trinidad was overdone or accurate? Are we becoming like Colombia? Does the government acknowledge that there is a serious problem? Related Information to Kidnappings in Trinidad

Yes, I think Trinis have to focus on the important issues rather than worrying about fetes and partying, so when I see one taking the time to post enlightening replies I am happy.

They take the son of a senator and killed him! This was so terrible, this country is becoming hell then the media go and ask the Prime Minister what he thinks about this situation (The Prime Minister was in a sport activity) he said he had no comments and to please let him finish the day in a nice way

I used to live in Trinidad but now live in the US. I would love to come back to vist but when I see headlines like these I am afraid to bring my family there. It was nice to read that the little girl 'Saada' was found and returned to her mother. But she was abducted right out of her school.

Unfortunately these headlines are so common now that we are getting 'used to it', now that is what is more scary. My heart is always in my hands when my wife goes out. When I hear people say 'Sweet T&T' I often wonder what they are referring to? If given a chance many would leave this place, I know I would.

Criminals targeting rich Indians By PRIOR BEHARRY Saturday, June 5th 2004 HEALTH MINISTER John Rahael yesterday said it was a fact that Indo-Trinidadians were wealthy and therefore the victims of crime. Speaking in the Lower House on a private motion by St Joseph MP Gerald Yetming to end discrimination in all forms, Rahael said Indo-Trinidadians were in the majority of kidnap victims "and the reason for that has to do with wealth, and that is a fact". |
This was touched on briefly earlier in the discussion but I wanted to get some more opinions on whether this is truly the case. It would make sense that the wealthy would be targeted, but I know some people in the discussion did not seem to think that there was a trend in the kidnappings.
Here is a quote from todays Express about another recent kidnapping of a wealthy individual. I guess if you want to feel safe in Trini then you need to be poor.

I have heard this 'talk' before, but I am not sure if it is merely coincidence more than targeting a specific group. In the past syrian, white, and negro races have been targeted and at one time it was irrelevant wether you were rich or not since some were asking for small amounts like TT$5,000 ransom. However, it seems that is big dollars that talks so the rich are being targeted.
