It doesn't matter...Ram-jaat's response is to take a way the vehicles from the Community Policing Groups because, according to him...."you can't use these things to fetch paddy"...and these vehicles were summarily handed over to the police to 'fight' crime.

Heard an Indian woman was arguing with a mini bus driver
about the fare she was being charged.
A black woman from the same bus slapped her and
said "This is our time now"
Maybe that's the thinking behind the crime wave.

When you start off on the wrong foot you will trip and fall.
Love him or hate him but no one has been arrested or charged for the assault of Kwame on elections day and it was on video. No one has been arrested as yet for burning down the house in Sophia on elections night. The wrong message is being sent to the criminals and perhaps that is why they are so emboldened and we are seeing the results. The government needs to act and fast! They must send a message to the criminals that there is NO free pass.
THE RULE OF LAW MUST BE UPHELD!

You living outside of Guyana and talking bout political strategy of having people in the police and army robbing business people.
Now if you are not in Government and you have your followers do this,one would have thought it would be in the Government's interest to go after those bandits,torture them to show that it is the opposition behind it and use that as a propaganda tool.
How does it help the Incumbent Government for the crime wave to be high?
Obviously it does not.Are you suggesting that the PPP/C is behind the crime wave by getting their supporters to rob and kill fellow PPP/C supporters in Berbice and elsewhere??

Bandits kick down door, terrorise Glasgow family
July 1, 2015 | By KNews | Filed Under News
– one arrested, positively identified
A Glasgow, East Bank Berbice family is now severely traumatised after bandits invaded their home on Monday evening and terrorised the occupants.
According to the home owner, 33-year-old Virginia Persaud called ‘Sirika’, at the time she was with her son, 14, daughter, 3, and her 68-year-old father who is a pensioner. She stated that around 22:00 hrs, she along with her daughter and father had retired to bed. Her son was still up watching television.
They were aroused by the sound of her car alarm which she found strange. She called out to her son to bring the key so that she could take off the alarm. However, without warning, they felt the house start to shake and before they could comprehend what was taking place they felt the front door started to rock.
It quickly became evident that bandits had kicked down the door and entered the house. The four men then proceeded to beat the woman and her two children whilst using an abundance of expletives. The family was brutalised as the thieves demanded money, gold and car keys. The woman stated that she shouted for “thief” and “help” but one of the bandits fired a shot to keep her quiet. The men threatened to kill them if they did not comply.
The woman stated that the commotion aroused her father who was in another room. The man armed himself with a cutlass and tried to confront the bandits, but he was overpowered.
The men subsequently left with only the car keys, after she continued to shout for help. The family was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital where they were treated and later sent away.
Persaud was struck on her head and other parts of her body. The wound on her head required four stitches. Her son’s head was also lacerated and subsequently had to be sutured.
The matter was reported and the police responded promptly, arresting several persons, one of whom has reportedly been positively identified. Investigations are continuing.

In reply to Runs
Reasoning? I think Freddie is an apologist. He is already making excuses for the government's inability/unwillingness to arrest the crime situation. Now tell me...what has changed in the last month and a half? They have gutted the ministries of PPP-ites, they have lambasted all and sundry with allegations of theft, misappropriation, mismanagement. For the most part the police department has remained steadfast. And Poor Uncle Freddie, seeing that the writing is on the wall, is chiming in early.
He muses that the police force will destroy the credibility of the government. Now this is comical...because the government reminds me of the PNC regime of old. And what credibility did they have????
It is regrettable that in modern day, there is blatant race-based crimes committed on hapless, helpless Indians, who have not the police, not the government, not the community, no one to protect them. And without the ability to protect their lives, their families and livelihoods, these people are walking dead.
Now why can't we hear the chant "Indian lives matter" in Guyana? Is it not racism where the preponderance of crimes are committed by one race against another race. Where the police is of the same race as the perpetrators. Where the perpetrators are often times the former police themselves. Where the hell is the government in talking about this issue? Sometimes we have to stop sugar coating bullshit and call a spade a spade.
Lets see if the Ramjattan has the balls to enact measures to protect the people, as he promised in pre-election campaign. Already Freddie questions his ability. I didn't need Freddie to do that...according to David I am too negative...according to me, I am just stating the obvious, and if it is negative, don't fault me.
Now watch the ride.

Bank robberies…Getaway cyclist charged with murder of Mahaica rice farmer
July 2, 2015 | By KNews | Filed Under Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News
There have been several reported incidents of bandits trailing persons from city banks and robbing them. The police apprehended one of them, Sherwin Trotman. They believe that he had ridden the getaway motorcycle after Mahaica rice farmer,
Charged: Sherwin Trotman
Charged: Sherwin Trotman
Hardat Kissoon, was robbed and killed.
Kissoon, a father of three, was fatally shot during a minibus robbery at University of Guyana Road, Turkeyen, after he was trailed from a city bank where he had encashed a cheque for $500,000.
Trotman, an excavator operator, was yesterday arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged with the capital offence of murder.
Trotman, 32, of Lot 45 Section D, South Turkeyen, allegedly murdered Kissoon while in the company of another on June 1, last.
He was not required to plead to the indictable charge after it was read to him by Magistrate Ann Mc Lennon.
Trotman was remanded to prison until July 8 and will appear at the Sparendaam Magistrates’ Court.
The defendant, who was unrepresented, explained to the court that he was never taken on an Identification Parade. He said that they are no witnesses or statements in the matter.
Trotman recalled that he was arrested and shown a video obtained from Close Circuit Television (CCTV). He explained that while watching the video he saw two men on a motorcycle. However, he emphasized that he was unable to make out the images on the video because they were blurred.
Trotman claimed that he was interrogated by Assistant Superintendant of Police, Michael Caesar and
Murdered: Hardat Kissoon
Murdered:

Sergeant Subaru. He pointed out that the officers asked him if he had killed the man and he replied in the negative.
It was then the officers informed him that they were going to arrest him because he was the rider.
The murder accused also claimed that Sergeant Seeram gave him a phone and asked him to call his relatives to bring $2M at Diamond Station for his release.
Police Prosecutor, Deniro Jones, said that the incident was captured on CCTV camera.
Kissoon, 42, of Cane Grove, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara was shot and killed around 14:30hrs, by a bandit posing as a passenger in the minibus he was travelling in, when another man in the vehicle requested to get off.
As the man was passing Kissoon, he pulled out a firearm and held the rice farmer at gunpoint and demanded a bag that he had in his possession.
A struggle ensued over the bag during which Hardat Kissoon was shot to his chest and the perpetrator escaped with the bag.
Kissoon lay dead in the back seat of the minibus until his body was transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he was officially pronounced dead on arrival.

Are you only counting gunshots????
Now take your time, and extend that wonderful synopsis to 10-20-30 years and see where the stats lead you. See how many Indians are summarily violated in the confines of their homes, in the middle of the night, defenseless, they are stripped of their livelihood, their lives and their dreams?
Take a look and see how many Black homes are invaded, and compare that to how many Indian homes are invaded. See the perpetrators, if and when they are caught...try to identify them on their race. And when you are done lets talk.

Granny scales high fence to escape gun-toting bandits – pregnant woman beaten, overseas visitors left Port Mourant home seconds before attack
July 2, 2015
THE invasion of 10 armed bandits forced two women, including a 65-year-old grandmother to scale six-foot fences in a bid to escape the robbery attack at Seventh Street, John’s Settlement in Port Mourant, Corentyne.Just after 01:00 hr on Wednesday morning, Dara Singh, aged 38 years, was offloading several items, including two tractors from a container.
Dara Singh was dragged from under a tractor, beaten and robbed
Dara Singh was dragged from under a tractor, beaten and robbed
He had engaged the services of several persons from the neighbourhood, to assist with the task. They had just completed the offloading when his overseas-based brother-in-law along with his wife, left the premises seconds before bandits struck.
After they drove away in the car, six men ran into the yard, saying: “No body move.”
“Me run under the tractor and hide. One of the other bandits say, look the owner gone and hide under the tractor. They started to beat me under the tractor, before dragging me into the kitchen where they told me to kneel. They asked for the money and the gold. Me say you all nah do me nothing. This is all I have in my pocket…$700,060…the container money.”
But Singh noted that the men, some armed with shotguns and a pistol, cutlasses, and iron were dissatisfied with the amount, and demanded more money and jewellery.
The intruders reportedly asked for Singh’s overseas-based guest, who had moments before left the home.
Singh recalled being taken to his bedroom before he was returned to the kitchen where he was constantly “broadsided” with cutlasses.

According to him, his helpers along with members of his family, which amounted to 12 persons, were all held against their will for almost 45 minutes, as an additional four men kept watch from the outside.
Meanwhile, Shavraj Azaz had just finished helping out when the bandits rushed into the yard. He was told to lie before a bandit armed with an iron rod inflicted several injuries to his head, forcing him to comply.
Kamalie Devi Khalicharan saw the bandits entering their yard, and being fearful, she did what was a normally impossible task. She scaled two separate six-foot fences, before seeking refuge in a neighbour’s home, two streets away. Her mother-in-law Dolarie Sewghair, was not to be left behind although her son Dar’s life was in danger. She,

too, scaled the fence before running for safety.
However, Sabita Singh could not join the two elderly women in their hurdle jumps. Instead, she stayed behind and was gun-butted to her face. She is six months pregnant.
After the bandits had left and the family re-grouped, they discovered missing an additional US$600, a rip saw, two amplifiers, two gold chains and four finger-rings, among other items.
Two youth are in custody and are assisting the police with the investigation.
There was no gun involved here...so I guess this doesn't make the list.

I thought this thread was about the last four to six weeks.
Overall I believe the stats would support your argument when talking about the last 10-20-30 years but why over the last 20+ years in particular was nothing done to create the type of society where we no longer need to be having these discussions???

Precisely. That is why I think that it is time enough for folks to speak out against crimes, the perpetrators, the collaborators and the facilitators. That includes the criminals, the police and the blind government. The government is clueless. Although it knows the crime situation, it does nothing because the folks are cowering in fear against victimization.
Now John, do you think that Indians are summarily targeted in violent home invasions? Can you put a dollar amount to this criminal activity? Can there be repatriations, or a victim fund set up to help get these people back on their feet after their lives has been decimated?

That said, dozens of people are usually alerted when this nonsense is perpetrated on the victims...however the people have no means of defending themselves. and even when they call the police the response is usually too late, or wholly ineffective. Something has to be done...because there is no way in modern society this travesty should be tolerated. People deserves better.

Fair enough...however are you saying that blacks don't have money and jewelry in their homes? And why is it that they don't get robbed again?
The bold text is what I see as presumptuous. I was from a predominantly black neighborhood with a few Indian families, 2 Portuguese families and my family being among a few of the mixed families. I can remember like yesterday, the years of '96 & '97 when our neighbourhood was targeted by thieves. My sister was traumatized from a few close encounters. I was 10-11 then.
No race was spared. And JohnDoe is partially right. As I got older, I understood why our neighbourhood was targeted. Home Invasions (sometimes violent but thankfully never deadly) became a huge issue for the following reasons:
(1) Concentration of Middle Class families who appeared to be wealthy or in possession of sig cash/jewellery/valuables;
(2) Limited Security. - Since there was no prior history of crime, the community in general was quite carefree. No barbed wires, in some cases no fences between homes and no grills. Very few house had guard dogs;
(3) Again, a relatively carefree lifestyle unaware of certain dangers. - Windows left open into the wee hrs of the morning, doors not bolted shut. Everyone was just happy.
First family to be targeted was my Uncle, a goldsmith, then my neighbour a Vendor from the market, our family luckily survived a break in at our home/family business (General Store).
I see nothing wrong in saying that bandits go after those they perceive to be in possession of wealth.

The last government pushed under the rug and denied it was a problem. So far the current government is clueless or refuse to handle. I will say this until it happens to you or your family, it is probably hard to feel true empathy for the aggrieved. Seems to be the same way again. Do not forget that the criminals, mostly feel empowered to commit these acts and have clever lawyers who quickly come to their defense.
Crime is the most important issue facing the country, not corruption, not nepotism, not racism. It harms the country immensely of billions as many investors are too scared to venture in. Life is too cheap in Guyana.

Simply by letting the community aware of crime and precautions that needs to be put in place will be a start. No one has done anything of the sort, in the past I know they had vigilante squads. That will not prevent the murders and robberies of today however. These fellas are on motorbikes or cars tailing their victims in broad daylight and robbing and murdering. The GPF and governments have refused to deal with it.

Businessmen being targeted and wiped out
2015-07-05 10:01:17
For .75 million peeps - too much murder n mayhem. If i were there i would want to get out of that cuntry! But, i will say again, the solution is simple.....have GT litter free, no flyers or large posters on streets (use newspapers to do yer advertising), culverts clean, traffic laws enforced, spot checks on cook shops, get vagrants off the streets, no loud music, etc. Have a sustained enforcement for 6 months and if there isnt improvement in every which way, then i guess i, beatdball was wronger than wrong! But, that is too simple, it's - lewwe tell the citizens that we have a grand plan. This admin. didnt come in with a take charge attitude. They just want to show how the past admin was $$corrupt and they are starting out with ineptness. People, just look what mayor guilliani did....prior to his admin there was 2200 homicides per year, then it came down to less than 600!!!!! Assk yerself: Gee, what did he do? It wasnt a grand plan, but KISS! Btw, luv what Jamaica is doing - have a sustained crackdown on petty crimes in Kingston.

The redistribution continues at a steep price for the business owners, who for the most part are Indos. The blue print is the same. The script is working like a charm.
Criminals attack. People are maimed and killed. Police response slow and inefficient. Investigations are continuing. The gov't remains clueless. This is looking like it is a concerted effort from the top down to terrorize and handicap the people.

2015-07-06 12:56:33
This is Ramjattan's response to the rising crime situ??? Close the bars at 2am... that will solve the crime. Full Stop.
Now he is saying that the ministers were stealing cars??? Incredible. They should sue his silly ass.
“That is why some of his ministers were stealing cars and passing budget line items and all manners of things, just disregarding the financial laws of the country.”
Ramjattan said that in spite of the criticisms, he is going to do all that it takes to reduce the high crime rate and will continue to hold his ground on the matter.
“I am well aware that these small things will help out and it will lead to the big things. Drinking at very late hours does a lot of harm and leads to a lot of things and I don’t need studies to tell me that. There are a set of bloggers saying you have to get studies done to show correlation between the crime and the night life. Well, what studies do you require to know that drinking has a direct impact on domestic violence especially in rural areas and where you have the estates and so on? What studies we need to have to prove that where there is a lot of alcohol there is a lot of violent crimes and other things?” .
“So what should I do? Because people talk about their rights as against law and order I must simply say oh we shouldn’t enforce it just leave it? Oh no sorry. Not me. That is not going to be my approach to this crime solving at all. And it is a very serious matter out there”
Ramjattan reiterated that he isn’t here for the fame but to get a job done and “will do what it takes” for that to be accomplished.
2015-07-06 13:12:30
Ramjattan getting schooled...I like the paddle boat captain steering a cruise ship analogy. This man is an jokeer of no mean reckoning. I mean he is a lawyer by training, so why act like a clown?
[b]Drinking will continue after 2 am regardless of the curfew
[/b]
Dear Editor,
Minister Khemraj Ramjattan made his first ‘big’ move to reduce crime and domestic violence, have a better work force and provide an economic solution for Guyana all in one decision. It is clear that the Minister does not have hard scientific data to back up his conclusions, so I will provide some assumptions from my observation as an average citizen.
1.Most crimes are committed by 100% sober people with a clear plan to kill and rob; they are not leaving bars at 2am to do this. This one is obvious and does not need any data.
2.Domestic violence that is rooted in alcohol consumption generally happens in the rural areas in small rum shops and bottom houses. So it would have been better if he had put a limit on DDL and Banks DIH production to make any impact here.
3.Road accidents are caused by inexperienced drivers who have bribed the police for their driver’s licence, a situation which is compounded by the police not enforcing the traffic laws.
4.Managing work performance is a dynamic between the employers and employees that has to be carried out by them and should not be policed by the state. The Minister is clearly showing signs of interfering in people’s freedoms and private lives.
5.People have the right to spend their hard-earned money however they wish; the government has no right to even comment on this. Again, he is interfering in people’s private lives and the private sector.
Drinking and partying will continue after 2am regardless of the curfew; you will see an increase in underground parties that are unregulated and thus provide a greater risk to our young people, since they will not be recognized by the police. There will be loss of revenue and the circulation of money will be reduced. It is my projection that the local economy will lose approximately $154,000,000 weekly.
Minister Ramjattan is confirming my position during elections, that the coalition members are backward thinkers with visionless strategies that will take our country down the wrong path. As I said before, this government consists of paddle boat captains steering a cruise ship.
Yours faithfully,
Malcolm Watkins

Immediately implement stop and frisk and other crime deterrent policies. It is out of control, the authorities do not have a game plan. Closing bars at 2 am will not deter these blatant daylight robberies and murders. The last murder saw cops showing up 1 hr after they were summoned. The Police Station is 10 minutes away, that is unacceptable. The past government were unable to protect the citizens, so far the present are also unable to protect.

Once again, that 'businessman' is anything but a businessman. Lets just say, when I see him in public I leave for fear of being classified by association. I did the same the night before he 'allegedly' shot someone outside of PC.

What must not stand in the way of eradicating this violence are political connections. Political correctness is not going to cut it when men are shooting helpless victims in the head etc. A message must be sent.
All those reports of poor police response to recent crimes must be responded to with accountability. Investigate why the response was slow. Was it because of infrastructure, training of plain fear?

Couple robbed 3 houses from Ramjattan
July 10, 2015 By GuyanaTimes
As crime continues to spiral out of control, two brazen bandits attacked and robbed a married couple who live only a few houses away from Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan.
Fifty-year-old Nandkishore Lulla, who is the owner of the Price Rite Store on Regent Street, and his wife, had just arrived in front of their Lot 14 Delph Street, Campbellville home when the incident occurred about 18:30h on Thursday.
Ramjattan, who lives at Lot 10 Delph Street, was in Parliament at the time of the incident. According to Lulla, he had parked his Canter GNN 7272 in his driveway and his wife had exited the vehicle to open the gate when a gold Toyota Spacio drove up behind him and out came the two armed bandits who pounced on the pair.
The bandits opened fire on the businessman, but luckily, the bullet missed him and hit the vehicle instead. They succeeded in escaping with over $100,000. “I was coming home and I parked the vehicle there and then a car came and parked behind me and then two persons came out, one from the driver’s side and one from the passenger’s side – both had guns – and they came and took the gun and he shoot inside the vehicle but it did not hit me,” the businessman related.
“They grabbed whatever I had in my hand, my lunchbox, she had her bag, she had her phone inside there, and we had some cash also inside there…about $100,000 and $150,000. They asked to give us everything and I gave them what I had because I was scared for my life,” the traumatised resident explained. Lulla said the bandits immediately fled the scene thereafter as neighbours and passersby began to respond to the sound of the gunshot. The businessman believed he was trailed from the store.
Meanwhile, when the perpetrators departed, Lulla immediately sought help from the security guard on duty by the Minister’s home. He said the guard advised him to make a report at the Kitty Police Station; however, Lulla thought the best thing to do at that time was to return to the store on Regent Street to change the locks on the door.
“They had the keys to the store; the keys to my house so I thought the best thing to do was to go change the locks,” he said. When Guyana Times arrived at the scene around 20:00h, the businessman was only then about to make a report at the station.

This isn't new. Just that now it's more publicised. Probably sensational journalism and sensational politicians in new roles. At public hospital this had been the norm in the past 2 yrs, as well as other institutions like GT&T. But these things were usually settled internally without the public knitting much of it.

I read that from another media source and could not believe it. Where is the professionalism that this new administration was supposed to bring?

The simple question for all:
Are the people better off today than they were 2 months ago?
What are the accomplishments of this admin so far?
Rice is dead. Sugar is dying. Businesses are closing. GT clean-up has lost its luster. The people are gradually going back to their 'normal' ways. And it appears that there is death and destruction everywhere.
Dukes...have I covered the current situ comprehensively.
2015-07-13 12:33:07
In reply to runout I agree 99.99%. These blokes didn't come in with a take charge attitude. They wanted to reinforce to the people of how $$$corrupt the past admin. was. So,GT clean-up has lost its vigor, eh? Well, I will say this N who gets vex, then be - Caribbean people don't know the meaning of, SUSTAIN, RANDOM, PERIODIC REINFORCEMENT, etc.

“After parking in his spot, four females came to me and said I was under arrest, then proceeded to aggressively assault me by punching me in the face, kicking me about the body and dragging me half naked as they had already ripped off my underwear and pants.”
“I ended up in the hospital after being unconscious apparently at their office half naked for more than 20 minutes. The doctor said I have two perforated discs, a hairline fracture to the hip, and bruises and lacerations about my body,” the Canadian national explained.
What is wrong with this picture?

In reply to runout WTF - I don't get it. Something is missing....lemme backtrack a bit, that is still not the way for security/law enforcement officers to go about doing their job. This is totally facting acceptable - those jackrasses have to be FIRED.
2015-07-14 05:58:30
The husband had to have his eye removed after the assault. Was this really a robbery or payback for something? The beating had to be really brutal for this to happen.

I guess everyone now agrees there is a surge in crime. I suppose that's a start.

Is this man clueless...or is it that he has misguided priorities? Or he just want it to appear that he is doing something? Boots too big for him to fill.

In reply to JimBob Still, why is it happening, now - daiz the question?
2015-07-14 19:13:53
Looks like some of the perps got caught.
Perhaps, I am being too suspicious here. Very convenient that some of those recent crimes are all linked to the one round up. Only one Glock they recovered? So, will these criminals now confess who was the mastermind behind their recent actions. Didn't Harmon allude that the recent surge in crime was being directed certain folks? Come sleuths what y'all think?

To people like you this is a spectator sport but to me it is personal.That Judge is my best friend's daughter!!!!

"Spectator Sport." WTF are you talking about? Took your meds today or are you going to revert to stupid comments again?
It's personal so you should be concerned that a thorough investigation is done or are you satisfied that the case is now "solved."
2015-07-17 22:04:26
I was asking about this investigation the other day and look at what we have here. This is one to watch closely to see if there was any political connection and where it leads to. This man's family may finally have some closure.
2015-07-20 10:22:02
The report alluded that the bus driver was somehow in collusion with the perps but was apparently spared the vigilantism.
Get these young lads to work. How about having them participate in the cleanup GT campaign?
2015-07-23 20:18:42
It looks like Ewing's family might have closure after all just as I alluded the other day, let's see how far this goes. The former AG looked like quite the idiot in his press conference. This is the QC intelligentsia some of y'all boast about on this MB? Dumb as Fack this one!
2015-07-23 21:09:15
Why y'all so quiet? Come forth and lets discuss these breaking news. How about the cocaine pilot...you knew this was the outcome anyway with that kind of money found on the plane. Get those Orange jumpsuits ready.

Perhaps these are Lumumba's boys and Lumumba is no longer able to put a call in to the police to back off.

I am a political junkie and Guyana is very interesting and unlike Barbados where posters think you have to be Bajan to participate in their political debate.
2015-08-02 09:13:26

You are very welcome to participate in any debate about Guyana.As a matter of fact I feel it is important for all of us to know what is going on in other countries in the region because we are all family.
Check your PM.

So now that they caught the killer and at least one of his paymasters. What should the punishment be for such a heinous act?
2015-08-26 05:59:22
Last week’s bizarre murder of cash crop farmer Pamela Kendall took an even stranger twist yesterday, with police taking the slain woman’s reputed husband into custody, while hinting that they are close to solving the case.
Police detained Kendall’s spouse, Deochand Sookchand, reportedly after unearthing evidence that 56-year-old Kendall may not have been the victim of a robbery attempt.

What luck,it's a shame they didn't get beaten to death,they deserved nothing less.When they stabbed the man,they meant to kill,fcuking Hyenas.

So after all the hullaballoo it turns out that most of these recent murders can be explained by this cartoon.
What a sick, immoral setta people Guyanese have turned out to be
