We had a double murder this week and last night quickly added another to the number of murders for 2022. It must be obvious there is a positive relationship to increase economic activity and other factors the analysts peddle.

What the blogmaster fears is that we mirror the US and other developed societies by becoming desensitized to the horrible act of murder. Another worry is that many seem happy to allocate the problem to the government and Barbados Police Service. We forget that the perpetrators of the crime were raised by Barbadian families. 

In other words, it calls for a collective effort from our little society to arrest the situation. Isn’t obvious that politicizing this and every problem will not solve?

Here is the latest murder stats from @caribbeansignal.com.

    “ What the blogmaster fears is that we mirror the US and other developed societies by becoming desensitized to the horrible act of murder. “

    This is how we continue to look at issues. Within two seconds we introduce the USA or some other country. Barbadians are not becoming “ desensitized “ to murder. An early caller to LarryMayers this morning expressed the concern we all share.
    Yesterday, a caller to Brasstacks also expressed his deep concerns about the murders. Barbadians are very concerned. We are not desensitized. Barbados is not America. Get over it !!
    It’s nonsense to talk about the USA. In such a large country there are murders almost every minute but the outcry and coverage will be localized in that state only and others may never hear of it. It may never reach CNN outside of the state where it actually happened.
    We have a problem in Bim ; it’s a serious proliferation of apparently easy to obtain firearms. It’s also important that we look at the reasons for the troubling gun related murders. Almost none are the result of domestic violence.
    We don’t want to accept what’s driving the crimes.
    We need to stop this nonsense about mirroring the USA . It’s a blasted cop out.
    Peace.

    I don’t know about becoming numb, more like feeling helpless and deliberately tuning out to ease the pain and frustration

    We all know that the bulk of these murders are gang related.

    Gangs culture is entrenched in Barbados. As long as there is a market for drugs, there will be unscrupulous (and apparently untouchable) people to bring the drugs in. And as long as we have disenfranchised, marginalised, disenchanted and disengaged young men, there will be someone to sell them.

    These young men KNOW that their lives will most likely be short. And apparently they decide that short and brutal is better than long and miserable.

    This problem calls for solutions beyond the scope of the average citizen.

    Is the de-sensitivity which you discern only to be raised when murders happen, when mainly poor people kill other poor people?

    Or do you see it throughout the society? Are doctors just as de-sensitized and committing equivalent professional crimes?

    More broadly, have you observed, for instance, a similarly declining attitude by politicians or doctors or lawyers?

    And if this de-sensitivity is generalized should the elites not be looked down upon in the same way?

    Better yet, should we not locate cause to the broader social ills?

    The same way we watch American tv and eat American food and take their money from the IMF represents the exportation of culture.

    Right now a significant number of murders in Barbados and the Caribbean are committed by people, criminals, deported from the USA.

    Don’t you expect Bajans once China rises to world power to be trying to have eyes like Chinese or claiming to be Buddhists.

    These are all the dominant cultural norms associated with global influence.

    Behaviors in relation to crime and tolerance or sensitivity towards murder is no different than we see in American movies, where ever we are in the world.

    You put words in our mouths and then construct a false argument to justify the straw man thus built.

    We are saying that Bajans are influenced every minute of every day by American global culture. Part of that culture is violence.

    No. This writer is not given to such irrational claims. There is no one causal factor. There are many. But to deny that we are not desensitized to levels of violence is fanciful. Such a claim is tantamount to denial of the existence of the failing hyper-power.

    Surely nobody can deny that gang violence, drugs and criminality generally in the Caribbean are heavily influenced by the dominant American cultural norms.

    Cultural penetration has been onour front burner for the last half century.
    I thought we were dealing with the obvious violent fire arm murders in Bim.
    Why introduce a red herring that cannot be defended.
    There is no evidence that the spate of fire arm / gun murders are being committed by deportees.
    You introduced this into the discussion. I am just debunking it because there is no evidence.
    Now, if you want to posit that crime is on the increase in the region and that it is a direct/ indirect link to cultural penetration mostly driven from the fascination with America , we can agree.
    I am speaking directly to gun crimes/ murders in Bim.
    Your statement about deportees , in such incidents, will simply not hold water. At least two of the youth gunned down in recent times were making preparations to visit America. They certainly were not deportees.
    It will take extremely strong and focused leadership to halt these crimes to some impressive level. We are simply not going to get the political directorate to do it. There are several undercurrents here and nobody is going to or want to touch this issue.
    They are banking on mutual destruction or to put it more bluntly ,they want those with guns to cancel / kill out each other.

    Even as we tried to clarify our meaning as asked for by you, you proceeded to construct the staw man.

    Is gang violence in Barbados not influenced by American culture? Are there not thousands of gang members and criminals being deported to the Caribbean every year?

    How do you know that none of them are involved in murders in Batbados when the general tendency almost everywhere else is that they are?

    Skinner, this has always been your problem.

    On the one hand we are citing a general tendency. On the other you want to basically suggest that Barbados is an island incapable of being influence by factors driving crime in the entire Western hemisphere.

    Admittedly, we have no specific scuentific evidence, except anecdotal. which shows that any of the murders ever committed in Barbados were by deportees.. But that was never our point.

    Our point was the general tendency of American culture to promote violence and desensitize populations to it. This is not merely about deportees. This is about everything else.

    What difference does it make if not one deportee killed a single Bajan but all the other facts of American cultural exportation acting together killed them all?

    The general tendency, not the atomization like you are always want to do. But since you argue that no deportees have killed anybody then the onus is on you to prove it.

    Where would you presume Bajan learnt about gun crimes?

    Again, all the countries in Central and South America this writer must visit have a crime problem made worse by deportees from the USA.

    What is your evidence to support a claim that there is a conspiracy, our words not yours. we are merely interpreting meaning, yuh know this will be your next argument, that yuh ain’t say do, for gun men to kill each other? Is this not an oft repeated logically fallacy?

    Finally, we consider that you are sometimes toooo blinded by an irrational need to criticize this government even when the murder rate is not likely to be much more than 30 this year, as about the average. And given the obvious economic difficulties crime generally can be anticipated to rise.

    Have the last. We done!

    When you are cornered you instinctively resort to the absurd.

    Up to now you have not made contact with our thesis, That thousand of criminals are deported to the wider region every year and that there is overwhelming evidence that these are central to serious crime.

    For the Caribbean subregion 2000 deportees was the last yearly number seen.
    Skinner

    That that deportation policy has been central to the American culture. Just like their TV and so on. A culture of violence informing crime in Barbados and everywhere else.

    You may say there is no evidence that deportees have not been connected to crime in Barbados, this is your preoccupation not ours.

    Our rejoinder is that it makes no difference to this writer whether deportees are doing all the killing or none. The abundance of evidence throughout the hemisphere indicts American culture for making serious crimes far worse.

    You are a bits and pieces man uninterested in large trends, central causes, etc. whereas this writer cares not for the atomization you always try to reduce things to.

    This writer genuinely cares not about the bees or the dees or the people pretending not to be either. They are largely irrelevant to our way of seeing reality. We’re not committed to either cussing or praising but intend to call things as seen. And we’ve done that this eve.

    NY mayor, Caribbean to crack down on firearms
    By Tony Best It’s being called the “iron pipeline” of guns that is fueling escalating rates of serious gun violence along America’s east coast and eventually ending up in Caribbean countries like Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana and some of their neighbours.
    New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams has announced that his administration was dedicated to fighting the perpetrators of gun trafficking and violence wherever they were.
    “We want to open up a relationship with the Caribbean community (in New York and elsewhere because) the problems you are finding back home, many of them are being fed by this country (US). Gun violence that is born here finds its way to Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti, St Vincent (and) Barbados). Those are the same guns (seen in the City.) We are talking about ending gun violence. We are talking about guns that are manufactured in America and find their way to your home island and your home country,” Adams told those present from the region.
    The mayor, who assumed office in January after being elected last November by voters in the City’s five boroughs, made the commitment recently while addressing the West Indian guests at a large reception held for the first time at Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the City’s political leader.
    He said his administration was “fighting hard to stop this oversaturation and fixation with guns because the bullets were not only taking the lives of children on Jamaica Avenue [in Queens] but in Jamaica’s Montego Bay, Barbados, St Vincent and Trinidad. “They are the same weapons” being seen across the city and New York State.
    “It is an international battle and we can do it here in New York City,” added Adams, who until recently was the Borough President of Brooklyn, the largest county in the City.
    Adams vowed to crack down and disrupt the flood
    of guns which the criminal justice authorities are calling the “Iron Pipeline”, a steady flow of mostly handguns which were being bought in states south of New York, taken along the Inter-state I95 corridor and sold in Pennsylvania and other places along the east coast.
    According to the New York Police Department, shooting incidents in the city have skyrocketed in recent years by an alarming 97 per cent. The guns were being made in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. A published report indicated that Virginia supplied almost 20 per cent of the guns sold in New York with Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Georgia accounting for 13 per cent. North Carolina and Florida were the sources of much of the remainder.
    Criminal justice authorities have said they were fighting to disrupt the pipeline and reduce the killings and injuries in places like Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.
    The mayor made his remarks to guests at a reception that was part of the Caribbean Heritage Month celebrations across the US that recognised “the immense” economic, political, religious, and other contributions of West Indians to America’s prosperity.
