Comments: Can anyone tell me if Diwali celebrations will be interrupted because of the state of emergency? I know we won't be having Independence Day celebrations but I'm thinking what about if they extend it? They will affect diwali!
According to the Guardian, Commissioner of Police Dwayne Gibbs said that over 117 persons including 56 gang members have been arrested between 6 pm on Tuesday and 8 am on Wednesday. Good thing he suddenly appeared!

Comments: Thanks Scrunter. Do you think they will extend it? I'm concerned for the country but also Diwali celebrations are important for me and my family. I have cousins coming from abroad.

What about Point Fortin and all those areas where a lot of Indian people live? Eh? In my books, you know exactly how that's called...
ProudSistah I find your comment completely irrelevant. Why is that Trinis have to see race in EVERYTHING? My gosh, the country is under state of emergency for crying out loud and some of you wonder whether the government or the police are racially profiling areas and people? We are ALL Trinis!
