Recently a friend of my daughter related this story to her:
She was walking on Broad St. during her lunch hour when someone grabbed her blackberry and ran. It took her 4 seconds to realize this person had her ID, her bank card as well as her blackberry. Now this tiny built investment broker in her business suit, kicked off her shoes and went after the perpetrator. He ran down by the Immigration office with the victim behind some paces behind him. He disappeared from sight and the victim asked some car washers if they had seen some one running and described him. She told them what he had done and they had seen someone like him running into the nearby Mall . Well they all broke up and went in search of him. The victim spotted the perpetrator walking quickly through the mall and she pounced on him along with the car washers. She was so mad that she was about to give him some licks. The car washers told her not to do anything and they all marched him off to the police station. The victim was cussing him telling him he chose the wrong person to mess with especially a Barbados sprint athlete. The Police smelt something foul in the air and asked the perpetrator ” skipper yuh smelling very shitty?” The perpetrator was so scared that he had shit himself. The victim who was still barefoot in her business suit told the car washers where she had kicked off her shoes and they went and brought them to her.

The case was heard several weeks later after the perpetrator had been remanded to Dodds. The perpetrator apologized many times and promised never to do anything like that again, the victim told the judge that she thought that he had learnt his lesson and had spent several weeks in prison, so there was no need for further imprisonment.

@All…

To connect the dots… If a case was heard there would be at least a case number.

No?

Quoting islandgal “She was so mad that she was about to give him some licks”

She should have washed his a*s in licks, and then called the police.

Chris just believe me, it is a true story.

“The victim who was still barefoot in her business suit told the car washers where she had kicked off her shoes and they went and brought them to her.”

That shows that they are still some good young men in Barbados but we all know that. The criminals should be hunted down and brought to justice.

When I am in Barbados I get my cousin’s car washed by the fellas by Central or down by the Wharf.

@Christopher Halsall why should we not believe Islandgal246 ? WTF is cute about a woman being robbed.?

I have neitha a blackberry, blueberry, raspberry not gooseberry. But I wear a nice gold chain, two bangles, a bracelet n two rings. I in tekkin dem off fa shoite. Lemme see de nappy head bitch dat gun cum n try ta tek me. He would gotta kill me causen I in surrendarin my property easy so. N he betta be fully prepared fa de outcome. I fightin till my t-string pop. Dese bitches want cripplin and I would oblige dem.

Islandgal
I cannnnnn undastan how de girl cud leh he get off widout a lash or betta yet, a hard kick in he rasthole ballz. All de carwashers in Babadus kun stop me from fcukin up he ballz wid a kick.N when he bennin ova holdin he krutch, he wooda get anudda hard kick in ‘e face. I mean um. De Police woulda had ta turn rong n charge me fa assault. But he woulda dun got some well swollen ballz.

@ Bonny Peppa:

Girl, ya hot, That’s the way to deal with these petty vermin. Before they go and get involved in more sophisticated (white collar) thieving they ain’t making use of their free education at all. L P and others can teach them a thing or two.
I would like to hire you as my personal body guard and pay you in gold bars. But no friggin in the riggin.

Madam Senator wants the worl tah kno dat she gots expensive tastes. I sorry she had to go through that ordeal though.

Looka, I in able wid you dis blessid Sabbaf nite. I hay gettin maself preparid fa chu’ch tamorrrrrrrr. Yes, I is a chu’ch memba if ya pleeze n ‘no’, I doan ‘buse in chu’ch. At leas not fa dem ta hare.
Ya mek ma cry when ya sa dat dem shud get involv in ‘mo sophisticated crime’. you in eazy a’tall.
LOLL, I kin assure you, dere will be ‘no friggin in de riggin’ but for sure dere will be ‘fcukin in de truckin’.
ya demon.

Islandgal
From de time he snatch my blackberry, tings woulda get outta hand. N de shit would be his so he shun mind gettin sum smare all cross he face when I kick he. Nutton din gun stop me frum gine afta he lil ballz man.

I feel sorry for the Senator too. No one should be able to enter my air space and try to rob me and get off without a scratch. That would piss me off more than anything else.
If you approach me with bad intentions, you should be made an example of.
And I don’t plan to make myself a prisoner in my home or anywhere else. I am going about my business as usual. I refuse to let these lil punks drive fear up my ass. Not me.

Now is a better time than ever to take up self-defence. Hurt a few of dese bitches good, once n for all.

HAS anyone checked the veracity of this story ??
WHY does this sound like a -“cupid in the afternoon moment” = a story—that is –made up ????

Just Asking N Lemuel
Only if it had ended in a tragedy it would be deemed true to you two?
Looka, doan mek ma puke sa early in de morn.
stupseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Not every crime is reported for Courts or Papers, if it was there’d be more of a backlog than already present!

To my BU family
Question: What steps should the government take to cub the violence. Bonny you input is appreciated

Let me repeat my Question with clarity

Since the genie is out of the bottle :CRIME and VIOLENCE” what steps must the government implement to restore law and order. Bonny i am awaiting your response

ac
mawninn.
LOL. I wonda why you await my response? You like troubl nah?
Anyway, I doan kno hummuch mo can be dun dat isn’t already being dun by all concerned. Do we need more police patrols in all de cracks n crevices? Do we need to be more vigilant for ourselves n neighbourhood? Should we report any suspicious looking persons or activities?
I play my part in my neighbourhood. You don’t see me but I am aware of everything going on around me. If I notice a strange car loitering, I always note de numba. In udda words, I rale malicious.
Me personallly doan plan ta go inta ‘panic-mode’. Not me. Not because of a few undesirables bout de place dat only intention is ta humbug de society.

ac,what is your take on ‘vigilante-justice’? I support it 1000%. You kill my dog, I fcukin up you cat. End a story.
And I doan wanna hear nutton bout dis is a civil society. People getting tired wid dese unwarranted attacks on person n property.
I personally would cripple one a dem n doan k. I serious.

LE MULE; I luvz um.

Le Mule thanks fuh what? Proof? When yuh get yuh proof let BU kno!

Bonny thanks for your response! However it shows a society which has lost total confidence in its leaders and justice system.
My main concern is where the belly of the monster lies or the root cause or causes . A society does not degenerate over night the seeds were planted years ago during childhood but were ignored by governments and society at large. Now as the saying goes “WE reap what we sow”.

I agree, also many individuals who came up in the village, don’t return and try to uplift the village, their presence among the youngsters would encourage them to excel, they can be their mentors, alas many villge boys who have made a nema for themselves, have turned their backs on their villages and many don’t even return to see their relatives who still live their.They don’t even want to let their children know where they came and the hardship many endured when they were children.

Please don’t start that village vs heights and terraces nonsense. Barbados is a victim of its own success. For a multitude of reasons we now have at least two generations who feel a sense of entitlement and also lack a moral compass. I was raise with a set of absolute rights and wrong. I would say that persons born post 1980 were raised to believe that everything must be tolerated, everybody has a right to behave and dress as they like and to have whatever they want, and to have it now. It doesn’t matter if they steal to get it and you must be tolerant and understand their circumstances. What did we expect to happen. We want to criticize England and American children about lack of manners etc. Yet we continue to rush headlong on the same development path that got the children of those countries that way but expect that ours will be different. Bajans suffering some form of mass psychosis.

The first line should read; ‘de best MENTOR’ not ‘MENTON”. I doan kno wah is a menton. Had my finga in de rong ting.

The entitled ones will get a reality check when they go out to work, that is if they are allowed to go out to work. Some parents have become so foolish that they willing to support their grown hard back children forever.
