Weeks Calls On Gangs To Put Down Their Guns
Michael Weeks, Member of Parliament for Pembroke East Central today [Oct 6] condemned reports of guns being fired in the area.
Mr Weeks, Shadow Minister for Community and Cultural Development said, “The recent and recurring incidents of shots being fired represent a clear and present danger to the families and children of our community.
“It is only a matter of time before yet another person, not caught up in the gang lifestyle is caught in the crossfire. In the names of our families and our children, we call on those responsible to cease their reckless, unnecessary and illegal activity and put down the guns.”
ya think any of these scumbags are listening!
Respects to brother Weeks….but asking gangstaas to put down their guns don’t work.
only unless you say pretty please
Mr. Weeks you gotta be kidding
Look bie’, you and I both know what’s taking place and it is up to the community to get this gun violence under control. NO Govt. has nor will catch the bull by its horns and subsequently these types of things will continue on and on until family members,(that know who is doing what) come forward and stop being so damn selfish and turn those that are causing all this “ignorance” in to the Police. Remember the next one to be KILLED maybe a relative of yours!
Put the guns down ? Like so they can use them again at a later date ?
Like GR said , no-one’s listening but the message should have been ‘Turn them in’
according to you no matter what he said ‘they’ are not listening so… really it is a message to those who turn the blind eye, who are minding there own business so not to get caught up or have their lifestyle hindered. When any politician speaks publicly or in the papers, according to your comment ‘they’ are not listening. So do you really think that he or Min. Dunkley is talking directly at them.
If anyone was serious about eliminating drugs, they’d start with the illegal drug trade. That’s the real problem to the majority of our social issues right there.
Eliminate the drugs and drug dealers, you solve the gang issue.
Easy…Nobody buy or use drugs….if noone buys or uses drug, then the gangs will lose their income source.
Yeah…it’s dead easy…just say “no” to drugs. Where have you guys been????? – smdh
So you can’t quit?
so then i guess you want all liqour shops to close up at the same time then? alcohol is by far a worse drug than marijuana, as well as plenty of these “medications” doctors have people on!
the word drugs covers quite a broad range of substances: A drug is a substance which may have medicinal, intoxicating, performance enhancing or other effects when taken or put into a human body or the body of another animal and is not considered a food or exclusively a food.
coffee is a drug, nicotine is a drug, marjiuana is a drug and most notably, alcohol is a drug! all having weed illegal does, is clog up the judicial system, increased time and effort for police to arrest and process those who they incarcerate, and then eventually prison costs for these so called criminals, most of whom get more years behind bars that paedophiles and rapists!!
Liquor is not financing gangs is it. Stay on the subject and get off your own personal agenda.
So why doesn’t the government take it from them as an additional revenue stream? The revenue from that can then be used to subsidize. other things such as tab breaks that we can’t afford right now, organic foods that we can’t afford now. Isn’t that what happened with alcohol? Only after years of prohibition which gave rise to some of the most notorious gangsters the west has ever heard of such as Al Capone. The world is now opening it’s eyes to all the lies we have been fed about marijuana so if it is financing gangs there is no one to blame besides those who prohibit it. You do realize if they can’t make money from marijuana they will just find something else instead, right? What will you do then when you can’t complain about pot? But hey, don’t let your anti-marijuana (“because I don’t used it”)agenda be pushed aside by something that actually makes sense.
Only solution is not have a market for it. Stop buying drugs and funding the gangs.
‘Cuz that’s a realistic solution…
No drugs on the streets less money in the economy! Governments LOVE drugs believe that!
Too close to the nails head on that statement.
I’ll take a wild guess that you have no idea about macro economics.
Mr. Weeks, please be quiet.
Mr. Weeks go hide under your cover like u always do n worry about your red tape, caz ppl cum to u n u says red tape so how ppl is suppose to listen to a word u got to say. Even tho I think they should stop the violence.
