DARION COMACHO: KAIETEUR News has never failed to amuse me but the editorial of January 31, 2013 certainly stands out among the classics. Here is the editor rightly condemning the attack on Oscar Clarke but then continues to admonish the young criminals for targeting one of their own.
In analysing this editorial, a few thoughts come to mind. These young men have made a conscious decision to embark on a road of criminality and should be aware of the implications of such actions. Criminals have never discriminated against national leaders before as rightly cited by the reference to Sash Sawh’s murder.
One can blame the breakdown in the school system and lack of morals for such actions but the editor continues to link this to the policies of this current government. However the essential focus of this editorial, after all the window decorations, came down to the final paragraph. PNC stalwart Oscar Clarke was shot in Sophia, the stronghold of the PNC, populated by the party supporters and as such it is opined that he should have been immune to any acts of criminality premises on that reasoning.
How dare the young men shoot and attack one of their own. I just wish to end by drawing attention to the editor’s question “Did the perpetrators not know that the home was that of a person who served the party for which their parents walked the streets in protest?” What the editor is implying here is that it is acceptable to rob and shoot others of different persuasions but not your own people and especially not your senior party officials. One wonders as to the true motives of publishing this type of language in today’s society.
Dem boys seh…Kwame and Bar Raat is Hard Times experts
De Hard Times paper proper finding experts. De other day when de Waterfalls paper report how much security Jagdeo got, de Hard Times paper report that a security expert tell dem that de report threaten de life of de former president.
