Stop shielding criminal offspring
The Editor, Sir:

I think the women of Jamaica can do more to stem the crime wave in the country. But I guess a lot of them love the blood money.

Some women know that their boyfriends, their sons, their brothers, their uncles are murderers and crooks who are killing people because of greed.

Jamaica will fall into ruin if these so-called mothers, wives, girlfriends and guardians don't confront their male relatives and say, "Enough is enough." We are going to see a country where our young men are going to be an endangered species. It is full time law-abiding Jamaicans to unite and take back our country from these thugs. I know a lot of mothers won't agree with me. It is hard, I know, for a mother's love to cease from the child she carried for nine months.

Robin Hood society?

But is it lawful for a male child to kill innocent people because one's child can be a provider from stealing and killing innocent people to satisfy hunger at home? Is Jamaica becoming a Robin Hood society - to take what you don't work for?

It is full time our Jamaican women look at the situation that is affecting the country. Stop defending and supporting your children who are known crooks and who are destroying lives.

I am, etc.,
