When PM Mottley cries GUN

I recently listened to an address by Mia Motley, Prime Minister of Barbados with reference to a shooting death of a 14 yer old in Christ Church. What is very surprising about her remarks was the lack of a strong repudiation and abhorrence of the unlawful use of firearms and the regularity of the firearm criminal spree in Barbados.

Her comment “put down de guns” a weak and pathetic request. We have heard this statement before from a former Minister of State…“just put down de guns”. Does it mean put them down until later?

What is also surprising, the apparent silent pens and voices of those against the skyrocketing of firearm tragedy emerging on the island. where are the reporters, writers, public voices, demonstrations or social groups?

Welcome Stamp foreign business folks from Europe and other countries do not want to live next door to Wyatt Earps, John Waynes or Clint Eastwoods. Would it not be more effective for the Prime Minister to defiantly repudiate gun violence, its eradication of guns than to simply say “put them down” This statement to me appears to convey an acquiescence of possession of guns to just put them down temporally rather than get rid of them. Is this the position of the government?

If I had guns I would just put them down in a drawer or on a shelf until I felt like or ready to use them, rather than getting rid of them.

    Maybe hers should have been that the guns were inevitably pointed in a direction wrong.

    Maybe hers should have been that manufacturers, importers, businesses, capitalism, the Customs Dept, not people kill people. And that these should put down the guns.

    But then again, when all is lost what else could have been expected.

    ALL *CRIME BOSSES* CRY OUT WHEN KIDS ARE CAUGHT FOR WHATEVER THE REASONS IN THE CROSSHAIRS! WHAT THEY REFUSE TO TELL YOU IS THAT THE UNDERLYING SYMPTOMOLOGY OF GUN CRIME & VIOLENCE IS A HISTORICAL PATTERN OF #ColdWars THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SPIRAL INTO A “HOT WARS”

    #LetMeBeClear

    This is a seismically penetrating “ANOMALY” that cuts to the heart of “MORAL” boundaries & “DIVINE” consequence, because they know that whatever semblance of “KARMA” or spiritual fallout results – it will fall at them…

    CRIME FAMILIES RUN THE WORLD – BARBADOS IS NO DIFFERENT

    The biggest “MOBSTER” in the land is always the “GOV” – followed by the “BANKSTERS”, followed by the “CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY”, followed by the “JUDICIARY” & the other “NEFARIOUS TENTACLES” of the state apparatus, (ALL PART & PARCEL OF THE WICKED, EVIL, FREEMASONRY BROTHERHOOD OF AVOWED SATANISTS – A REPTILIAN SPECIES OF SLITHERING SERPENTS) whose “DAYZ” are absolutely “NUMBERED” in the “BOOKS” of Heaven!!!

    All “CRIME FAMILIES” are run by “MOB BOSSES”!!!

    Let us not pretend that their (ASININE) moral code does not decry the killing of “KIDS” – primarily to maintain a “FACADE” of “HONOUR” & to avoid intense “MORAL” enforcement scrutiny – rather than out of genuine moral “RESTRAINT”!!!

    In so-called 1st world countries, organized crime groups like the #SicilianMafia & #AmericanLaCosaNostra – often claim a code of conduct that spares women & “KIDS”, this is widely regarded by experts as a “MYTH” cultivated 4 public relations!!!

    In reality, children & women have frequently been victims of “MOB” violence, either as collateral damage (FANCY TERM 4 AGGRAVATED MURDER), in targeted attacks, (TO TEACH A LESSON), as witnesses to be silenced, (ANOTHER DAMNABLE OBJECT LESSON), and/or as “PAWN” in feuds (OFTEN CAUGHT OUT IN THE CROSSHAIRS)!!!

    The primary reasons for the public disavowal of such killings often include –

    (1) Avoiding police attention as “KILLING INNOCENTS” generates massive “MEDIA” coverage & public outrage, prompting authorities to dedicate maximum resources to solving such crimes…

    (2) MOBSTERS* prefer to operate quietly to avoid “ATTENTION” and/or “ARREST”!!!

    (3) By preventing cooperation when innocent families are threatened or harmed, it encourages witnesses to break the “CODE OF SILENCE” (#Omerta) & who then cooperate with law enforcement…

    (4) Maintaining “TERRITORIAL CONTROL” in areas where the Mafioso relies on local support or “FEAR-BASED COMPLIANCE”, indiscriminate “VIOLENCE AGAINST KIDS” can erode their influence & turn the community against the “GANGSTAZ”…

    Proscribed internal discipline in some factions suggest that by killing a woman or child without sanction, is considered a serious breach of internal rules, “PUNISHABLE BY DEATH”, because it brings dangerous heat upon those at the top…

    One tenet of criminological study is how the correlation between the “MOB CODE” v. “STATE POWER”, synergistically overlap & how the tentacles that exist between both paradigms work…

    For anyone to argue that “GANSTAZ” do not have a “TWISTED MORAL CODE” is dangerous at best & morally flawed at worst…

    MOB* bosses “DO” have taboos

    First off

    * Do NOT* kill KIDS*
    * Do NOT* harm innocent family members
    * Do NOT* betray “MADE GUYS” or (those who’ve “been inducted” into the crime family)
    * Do NOT* deal in certain crimes (some refuse drug trafficking to kids)

    These are NOT* humanitarian principles – “IT IS A FORM OF TWISTED MORAL LOGIC”

    We appreciate that they’ve pragmatic lines that mark the difference between “BUSINESS” & “TOTAL WAR”…

    But the key insight to draw from all this, is that even criminals recognize boundaries…

    Cross them, & you invoke total, unrestrainable responses…

    Kill a mob boss’s child, & you’ve guaranteed escalation beyond reason – beyond negotiation – beyond containment…

    HISTORY IS REPLETE WITH 2 MANY EXAMPLES

    Killing children guarantees

    * No negotiation possible
    * Family honor demands unlimited revenge
    * Allies join the vendetta
    * The conflict becomes existential – not transactional
    * Escalation becomes unstoppable

    Mob bosses understand – some lines – once crossed – end the game entirely

    The spiritual/theological reasoning is sacrosanct

    Even organised criminals recognize there are acts that invite “DIVINE” retribution

    Harming KIDS* is one

    It’s beyond the pale of what can be forgiven – by “MAN OR GOD”

    This is why every culture – every religion – has absolute taboos about “KIDS”

    *They’re innocent (can’t have committed wrongs deserving death)

    *They represent the future (killing them is civilisational suicide)

    *Harming them invokes cosmic consequences

    NOW APPLY THIS TO THE AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI ASSASSINATION WHICH IS LIKELY TO PROPEL US ALL INTO #WW3

    Khamenei was killed along with his daughter, daughter-in-law, “GRAND-CHILD”, & son-in-law!!!

    The #AmeriKKKan/#IsraHELL* posse didn’t just assassinate a “RELIGIOUS” leader – they crossed “BLOODLINES”, that according to ancient Sanskrit civilisational tradition – #SATANYAHU & #ORANGEMAN will have to pay with their own families for a “1000 GENERATIONS”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They killed:

    * His “GRANDCHILD”
    * His daughter
    * His family

    This isn’t “COLLATERAL DAMAGE” – this is “BLOOD LUST” & “BLOOD LIBEL” – all wrapped into one “DEMONIC” package – that NOT* even “HELL CAN QUENCH” OR ASSUAGE…

    Deliberately targeting a leader’s family is the “HIGHEST MORAL, SPIRITUAL & PHYSICAL CRIME” that is irredeemably “UNATONEABLE”!!!

    By the very “SPURIOUS LOGIC” that even “MOB” bosses understand, you’ve now guaranteed “UNLIMITED” retaliation (REMOVING ROOT & BRANCH”) of your own – until justice is satisfied!!!

    The conflictual “CRISIS” then becomes – existential

    THE DIRE THEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS ARE SUCH

    You’ve invoked “DIVINE JUSTICE”

    Here’s what the “MOB CODE” reveals

    Moral boundaries exist not because people are nice, but because crossing them invokes consequence that can’t be contained!!!

    The boundaries are “CLEARCUT” – don’t kill “KIDS”, or destroy families, & “DO NOT” commit “ACTS OF PURE EVIL” (WITH NO POSSIBLE JUSTIFICATION)

    Why???

    Because there’s a line between – conflict (negotiable or containable), & “EVIL” (non-negotiable – demands total response)!!!

    The “DIRTY BASTERDS” crossed that line by killing that 14-year-old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The “DIRTY BASTERDS” crossed that same line by assassinating Khamenei & his “BEAUTIFUL FAMILY”, for by assassinating his family, including his “GRANDCHILD” – they invoked divine consequences!!!

    That is guaranteeing “ESCALATION” – beyond rational calculation!!!

    THE MOB BOSS WISDOM

    A mob boss would say: “You never kill the guy’s family

    You kill him – yes

    You negotiate from strength.

    But you don’t kill his “KIDS”

    Because once you do that – the response has no limits

    The vendetta becomes total

    There is no “OFF-RAMP” (#AskDonaldTrump) – for as long as he & his family lives – “AN IRANIAN FATWA REMAINS) in place – same 4 #Satanyahu!!!

    What the US-IsraHELL* did was what mob bosses explicitly avoid

    They killed the target’s family

    This is why we’re at an inflection point in our world (TODAY)

    IRAN IS STILL BOMBING & IS LOOKING TO WIDEN THE CONFLICT (#StayTuned)

    BAJAN GANGSTAZ CAN’T KEEP KILLING KIDS & YOUNG PEOPLE

    Not because one assassination matters!!!

    But because the taboo against killing “KIDS” was violated

    And when taboos are violated – when you cross into “PURE EVIL” – the response is no longer bound by reason

    MY THEOLOGICAL READ

    They believe in divine justice – but you wouldn’t think so

    Mob bosses, in their way, also believe in it (THE BUSHMAN CALLS IT KARMA)

    Not in explicitly “#RElieGIOUS terms, but in this proviso – cross certain lines, & you guarantee response that transcends your ability to control it

    When those lines are crossed – divine consequence manifests!!!

    Not as lightning from heaven – but as human response that becomes total & uncontainable.

    THEREFORE THE CONCLUSION THIS RAISES

    BARBADOS* has invoked what even mob bosses fear

    The vendetta that knows no limits

    In a world with nuclear weapons, cyber capabilities, & global reach, a vendetta that knows no limits becomes… what???

    Is that the inflection point we’re identifying???

    And now the cascade begins, because certain lines, once crossed, leave no choice but total response…

    Let’s see where this leads & where it ends!!!

    On that rancid note

    @ Bajan Boy

    In the interest of clarification, please explain why you deemed Mottley’s “put down de guns” comment to be a “weak and pathetic request?”

    Is it based on any fact she’s on record for having made similar comments relative to the others murders that occurred so far for the year, or because the victim was 14 years-old, or believe she should respond to EVERY ISSUE with political rhetoric?

    And, how would it have been “more effective” if she used the unfortunate situation to make political, symbolic statements, which may have been INAPPROPRIATE under the circumstances?

    How is it different from ‘not bout hey’?

    The takeaway, it will take more than words given the current state of affairs.

    That is exactly what I dislike about Barbados. I don’t want to live next to them either.

    All I hear about is the crackdown that will happen when a tourist is victims of these crime. Seems like locals will be expendable till then.

    Get some self respect and then national respect.

    Again, for clarification, is this thread a reference to Mottley’s statement on the tragic death of13-year-old Shawnaton Chase who was shot while watching a netball game in Silver Hill, Christ Church on Tuesday, March 25, 2025?

    Some have started to congratulate the BPS and other actors for the dip in reported murders for the year so far. Truth be told the underlying issues must still exist?
