Not twisting your words. If I felt this thread was inflaming I would ask the Moderator to delete the entire thread...

I dont know if you are living in Guyana, but you cant fail to notice the many tv shows and Anil Nandall's appeal for protesters to protest peacefully. So by your definition, peaceful protests means burning privately owned cars and trucks, harassing innocent travellers, robbing  people, blocking the main road, etc.  

From your tone, you are willing to excuse all of this. I agree the residents of Enmore and Unity (Indian villages, I presume) and all Guyanese should be engaged in peaceful protests and justice for the Henry cousins. 

You seem to excuse those political leaders who are creating an inflamed atmosphere with their rhetoric. Regardless of his this investigation end, someone will have to create the political mess they have created by pumping their supporters and using this event to gain political mileage

....as I said, logically, the ruling PPP has nothing to gain from this...and certainly they are not inflaming the situation....gwan suh.

 

 

Dont take my word for it...open your eyes...I am only restating what may be obvious to some:

You either lack comprehension skills or are being deliberately obtuse.  How can anyone possibly interpret my definition of peaceful protest to mean burning buses etc?  You have to be nuts to make such a leap.

LIKE I SAID, DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT (SO MUCH FOR WAITING FOR THE INVESTIGATION):

Murder of West Berbice youths: Police to dispatch samples to forensic lab for testing; no political motive for killings- Crime Chief

Posted by: Denis Chabrol in Crime, News September 8, 2020 0 Comments

 

The Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory located at Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara.

With seven persons now in custody concerning the killing of two youths at a coconut estate at the back of Cotton Tree Village, West Coast Berbice, police Tuesday afternoon said they were preparing to dispatch crime scene samples to a laboratory for testing.

“We have recovered some evidence from the crime scene and we are in the process of packaging them and we will be submitting those evidence to the Guyana Forensic Laboratory at the earliest opportunity,” Head of the Criminal Investigations Department, Senior Superintendent Wendell Blanhum said at a joint press conference hosted by Police Commissioner Nigel Hoppie and Chief-of-Staff of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Brigadier Godfrey Bess.

Mr. Blanhum assured that a thorough and “comprehensive” investigation was underway to bring the perpetrators to justice. He ruled out the killing of the youths was politically motivated, contrary to suggestions from pro-Afro-Guyanese stakeholders. “There is no absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support that contention,” he said. However, he declined to say what was the motive behind the hacking to death of Joel Henry and Isaiah Henry. “At this point in time, we would not disclose anything pertaining to motive to the public. We have a very tense situation and I will want to appeal to members of the public to allow the investigators to conduct the investigation,” he said.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum

The Henrys, who were cousins, left their homes early last Saturday morning to pick coconuts to sell but a search was launched after they did not return home. A search party and police Sunday afternoon located their bodies aback Cotton Tree with chop and stab wounds.

The Crime Chief said the seven persons include persons from Number 5 Village, West Coast Berbice. The others are the owner of the coconut estate where the bodies were found, his son and a handyman.

Meanwhile, Mr. Blanhum told a joint press conference by police and army chiefs that police were searching for two masked men who robbed one of three persons at gunpoint. “That matter we are treating with priority and we will make sure we that we make earnest efforts to arrest those individuals,” he said.

The Guyana Police Force confirmed that several persons were robbed and vehicles burned, but the Joint Services would not tolerate this for much longer. “The Joint Services will take all legal action necessary to ensure that law and order remain in this beloved country.. so we call on the people of Guyana to engage in peaceful protest action, Brigadier Bess said.

My point is simple...not all of the protests are peaceful...those must be condemned....and as per the Dem Waves article, some people are inflaming the crowd and politicizing the murders...all while the forensic investigation has been done.

How is all of this damage and racial divisions going to be undone when the investigation is complete...the damage has been done. 

The APNU statement clearly missed the point when it ignore the fact that the Orlando incident was based on something other than politically or racially motivated. Here is what the Chronicle (today) said:

So again...who is going to undo the damage the PNC has already caused?

Its a BA bro...save the B.S. for what you are saying. If you want inflammatory rhetoric go and look at the sites I mention. 

 Guyana has a chequered history and conspiracy theories abound. 

In the meantime, you are willing to ignore what the PNC is doing. Its not just "peddling crap", its inflammatory and setting the stage for large political designs...another chance at delegitimizing the elected government.  

You are making an assumption that the police are also capable to solving this crime. Crum Ewing and Monica Reese still remains unsolved.

But I will respect what you said...if this is inflaming them I will leave this as my last comment.

I'm by no means ignoring or condoning any acts of violence that are being meted out to innocent law abiding citizens. Engage in peaceful protests but don't seek revenge on people who had nothing to do with the murder of the two young men. An eye for an eye has never solved any of Guyana's long history of racial conflict. I'm also totally against all those who are fanning the flames of hatred and intensifying an already volatile situation. And that goes for all parties on both sides of the spectrum. You may not see it this way but using your accusatory language without an iota of proof is totally irresponsible. We need to deescalate the hateful rhetoric on both sides because this has the potential to explode into something much larger than it already is.

A good de-escalting could be had with the lure of some Punan.

Just as I thought, no video from sources other than news media would be credible enough. I would not waste my time and effort posting any here. With almost every one walking around with video camera the youths caught in the videos might very well end up like Ms Brooms...

Here is the deal ,create a thread ,post what you have ,will overlook "credible"
