    I understand the minister’s pain.

    Vigilante justice should definitely not be condoned in any civilized society, but personally speaking, I will side with Hilton Baptiste, Antigua’s agriculture minister in this one exception. (See how Historian is presenting a paradox here (lol). But so be it.)

    Praedial larceny in Jamaica has to be addressed in very serious terms, even if this includes wiping out a few thieves every now and then. The suffering in Jamaica from this rampant activity (and I’m not merely going by media reports) is immense, and so far the half-hearted efforts at addressing the problem has not been of much help to Jamaica’s hardworking farmers.

    Bud the fockers I say!

      I would not even regard this as vigilante justice. It is Defense of property.

        "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

          I am very wary of this kind of justice. I remember one night some dread from Portmore loved our area and was passing through. they were driving scouting the area and one even tell a girl in a shop "I am coming for you later". It so happen that a shop was held up the same evening and many people had the dreads as suspects.

          Only to find out it was someone from in the area. This was a rare occurance so it was easy to look for outsider. The dreads came back later and I gurantee you if they didn't find the robber the dreads would may have faced some form of "justice".

            Same way I feel! I was so ********ed when someone entered my property and cut my tulips, so I know how the farmers feel.

                Roger Clarke said he gave up farming due to persistent praedial larceny. What does that tell us about his leadership?
