Victims of Murder

When someone in our society gets murdered, the society as a whole is negatively impacted. Children become fatherless or motherless, marriages and/or relationships are permanently broken, relatives are sad and angry, and a general sense of loss affects the people who are immediately connected to the murdered victim. There is also the possibility of revenge, which may result in the taking of other innocent lives. So essentially, when one of us is murdered, we all become victims, whether we know it or not. It is therefore in the best interest of us all to ensure that this problem of killing is discontinued. It is our duty to our self and to our great country to make sure that each and every one of use die by natural causes or by acts of God. No one has the right to kill another person. This insane practice of killing must be urgently address. Our lives literally depend on it.

Why Not Murder?

Why not murder (in Jamaica)? This is a very important question. As a rule, it is almost natural for people to do things that they can get away with. This was one of the concerns that is behind the origins of law, since it was and still is believed that 'man is by nature evil and must be kept in check'. In Jamaica, there is a belief that the probability of literally getting away with murder is very favorable (for a would-be murderer). Murder cases are hardly ever solved. And to add insult to injury, a prison break is always possible. There is inadequate and insufficient policing. There is a slow and ineffective justice system. And our fellow citizens (would-be murder victims) are of the view that to assist the Police to solve murder cases (and other crimes) is a very bad thing to do. In addition to this, there is a 'mickey-mouse' witness protection program. If you are a witness to a crime and you are determine to testify in court then you are better off taking your protection in your hands, before, during, and after the case.

So we kill each other becase we think we can get away with it. And why not? Why not? Our elected representatives don't understand that we all have one life that goes away forever when we are killed. Urgent action is needed. Help us tell the Jamaican government that we want urgent action. Time wasted results in additional loss of lives.

Why Murder?

Once upon a time, when two indiviudals have a dispute in Jamaica, it was almost guaranteed that they would either exchange harsh words in the form of a quarrel or at worse have a clean fist fight. Those days are long gone. Now every dispute is almost guaranteed to result in the pulling of a gun with the intent to kill. How did our society transform from being so peaceful to being so fierce? Of course, there are those who argue that it all started with our tribal politics but what hapen to individual morals and our general regard for human life? How can a society deteriorate so fast and somehow manage to maintain that deterioration so well? Why has the Jamaican government not made quelling this problem a priority? These are some of the many questions that we have. What are your questions?

We want back Jamaica, in its purest form. We intend to take it back.
