People seem to not realize that homeless people represent a security threat as an assassin could use this as "cover".
Mi nuh fraid to cuss Portia when merited, but I dont see what the fuss about the visit is.
SEVERAL homeless people were yesterday rounded up and transported out of New Kingston by a Metropolitan police team as part of last-minute preparations to host United States President Barack Obama, who arrived in the island last night.
One homeless man, who identified himself as Anthony Brown, said the operation, which began in earnest on Monday, has left them scared.
"Over the past 24 hours is about seven of us dem tek off the road. Them bring some members from the group to Bellevue Hospital, others they bring to the shelter," said Brown.
Another homeless man, who gave his name only as Sam, shared similar sentiments.
"Mi vex how dem ah deal wid wi. Some of us, dem move off the road carry a Bellevue go give injection. Others get new clothes and haircut," the man alleged.
"Mi vex! Instead ah spend so much money to fix up roads dem could ah spend it to take care ah we much better," Brown continued.
Yesterday efforts to get a feedback from the Poor Relief Department were unsuccessful.
