Time to relocate the residents and convert the Beetham and Sealots to parks

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
For too long crime has been emanating from that area. And it's known. If you get a flat on the Beetham KEEP DRIVING. It's a hazardous area with people crossing the highway salvaging items from the dump.
People have been relocated in the National interest before so it's time to do it with the Beetham and Sea Lots. Clear the areas and put lovely PARKS instead. We want to promote T&T and yet we leave these unpleasant areas right at the entrance of the city. Action.

it is true, this is the symbol of a 3rd world nation, of course our great Prime Minister will not see the problem which is being created, the gov't does not effectively deal with this and the prob persists, i mean really.....what do we expect from a power hungry PM and a Partying President? |

Yo... y'all make no sense to me there in the Beetham. It will always be "we killing people and harbouring the criminals, but we really innocent... i swear mr. police man!" followed by "we have a right to bun down de place and be lawless cuz we vex the police catch us and shoot back after we shoot them first"
Just know that after that last "tantrum" you threw last night, your fellow trinis are becoming increasingly impatient with you and will care less about your plight cuz you clearly don't give a damn about us. What the heck do we have to do with you and the police? You mashin up our cars... robbing us on the highways... lawless. You want mercy? You want fairness? You want justice? Well friends, you have to give to get. And what you give, is exactly what you will get. |

The individuals responsible for blocking the roads and then throwing things at the cars are heartless. Those people in transit had nothing to do with what was going on with the residents. Those people, who were already tired and just trying to make their way home, had to, like always pay for what is going on in this country. These innocent people are always the once that have to suffer the burden. Why couldn't the Beetham residents go and protest at a police station? As usual they like to target the innocent people. They could have come up with a more civilized way to deal with their issue, but no, because they really don't care! |

These pple who are creating Havoc in the area should be locked up and there homes should be searched.They are not all bad around there. The few that are doing all the wrongs need to be removed and housed elsewhere.Put them under house arrest and should be prevented from going back to that area and if caught prison time for a very long period. Those pple are hell bent on carrying the country even further down the pit by the way of crime.

I do not always agree on how police handle situations in this country. But I cannot blame them as well. They have to face these youngsters that have no moral left every day. So yes the police should apply no tolerance when dealing with them now. Mothers Fathers have to bring up their children better instill morals in them and themselves. It has gotten out of hand, that youngsters could decapitate a person and play football with the head.... After all said and done the parents always crying " But my son was a good boy he never do anything wrong" Yah Right!!!!! The police should use "No tolerance" |

Please engage your brain before you put pen to paper.These police are very clever.Had they not executed them first,it could have been the other way.Pple are treated the way they treat others.We know most of these guys who are killed are well known murderers themselves. Ask for a report on any one of these fellaows and you sure to get a list. How many pple have perhaps been killed,robbed or whatever. |

Sorry to say I was on the promenade when the original shooting occured and I was appaled at the lack of Major Police presence in the heart of POS at that time of night, almost everyone knew the dvd man was from the beetham and some were even saying they wanted him a long time ago, because he making an honest living, now why should a man be taxed because he decided to do something positive with his life ? I'm not saying the police killed the guys who did it but honestly a message must be sent to the residents of the areas who harbor these criminals, give the authorities information or get them criminals out of your neighborhood, or your sons could die an innocent death, and honestlt that's the reality of our society, we need to clean the nation of these scum-bags...Concerned citizen POS |

When the government and the police begin to treat the Beetham residents like humans/people, the people of Beetham Gardens will begin to act civilized. First they had those people living in a foul-scented area. I tell no lie. Every person who travelled in a Maxi taxi will tell you that when the maxi taxi passes on the PBR the passengers have to hold their nose. There seems to be some waste that is settled in the 'drains' that causes the odour. Maybe there is no proper drainage. It is as if Beetham Gardens is annexed from Trinidad. Put good infrastructure into the towns and villages, give the people a better chance to develop themselves, please. They are people too. God never made 'no' junk! Everybody is somebody! ac,md |

The pple will not behave any different because that's all they know and how they live.Anyone who has a little self respect or pride, in the first place would never have gone to live near to a Labasse or rubbish tip. Once they were given a house around there they should have protested and turn it down. These pple know only too well why they choose to live in that area more so with the stench coming out from around the area. |

Just a bunch of ghetto trash showing how ignorant they are. You want to protect go infront of a police station or the Red House. Throwing rocks at cars just let people care less about what happens to anyone in that slum. There are to sides to those killings, and I don't believe either on. I'm sure the police killed them and lied about how, but how clean are the hands of those men...??? |

Why do the citizens of Trinidad in particular areas pratice bad citizenship? Then they cry that they are subject to the police brutality when they act out? Police officers, do as I do....inform bad citizens, as well as good citizens, that any action concieved as a threat to life or serious harm to anyone will be met with deadly force. |

Beetham want war? Some of their people are already causing enough war in the rest of the country, through major holdups of businesses, and even private homes. This man came from the Beetham walking in my yard to thief 2 o' clock in the morning, with a bag and a flashlight. Then another day, in broad daylight another one came to rob my aged godmother, and had the nerve to say, don't worry, I only come to do my job (he meant he come to thief). Enough is enough, it is time for the military to support our esteemed police force, go up there and clean up that area once and for all. Residents of Beetham should not be living above the law of the land, by not allowing law officers to enforce the law in it's right, which is an insult to the rest of us law abiding citizens of the country. Kudos to the police force, keep up the good job, and whether you know it or not, a lot of citizens in this great nation today are supporting you all, because we are really fed up |

Police need to seriously clean up that area and deport these people. They are not Trinidadians. Send them back to haiti, st. vincent, dominica where they came from. They are just running down the country and giving Trinidad a bad name. GET THEM OUT TAKE BACK THE IDS THEY HAVE THAT THEY PAYT FOR BEACUSE THEY ARE NOT TRINIDADIANS. |

If you try to read all these comments, you have to wonder at the violence that is conveyed in them and you wonder if the 'Beetham' is a place or a state of mind. I am left to conclude that some of us who write these things are just lucky not to have to live there, or we would not be able to distinguish ourselves from 'them'. Besides killing them, burning them out, hiding them and planting trees and parks on their homes, what more intelligent and moral solutions are there? |

I suggest to the person who wrote 'beetham have good people to' that is high time the good people stand up and rise against the criminal elements among them. Riot for education for your children, for training, for help to deal with the criminals among you, then people will not tarnish you with the same brush. Surely even you can see that this lawlessness cannot continue. |
