Desperate times need desperate measures

Many people may not agree with it, but something drastic has to be done to get the weapons out of the hands of the criminals.

Young men walk the streets and our neighbourhood fully armed and waiting for the next victim, this cannot continue happening in our country; citizens need to be safe in their neighbourhoods and on the streets.

Every measure should be taken to protect the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago, this situation is going on too long. I once went to a certain area to visit a sick person, I was told by someone in the area that all the men I saw sitting by the roadside had guns on them, this is crazy.

Something must be done to curb this lawlessness. If it be “Stop and Frisk”, bring it on: If a person could run down another person in broad day light and shoot them in cold blood and walk away like nothing happened, we are in serious trouble, and this is happening throughout our country every day.

There are criminals that are sitting on the block with their piece on them waiting for something to happen. This is the time to act and as the saying goes, desperate times need desperate measures so, bring on the stop and frisk Mr Acting Commissioner of Police. Who vex Loss! Modici a Martin via email
