Too dangerous to return home

In New York City where I live there is a population of over eight million people and our murder rate this year is less than 30.

Trinidad’s murder rate is a staggering 143. The island is a killing field.

England has lost two retired couples in Tobago, Japan has lost a lover of the steel pan to Trini killers.

What great sorrow has befallen a once beautiful island.

Reinstate the death penalty now.
