Port-of-Spain has become a gun-slinging town and if you don’t get out of the way of killers,Gocking’s murder occurred ten days after Nicole Applewhite was fatally shot when gunmen opened fire at a DVD vendor on Independence Square, on Feb 16. week before her killing, Barrath was chopped to death on St Vincent St, near the Port-of-Spain Magistrates Court on Feb 9. Two men Kernel Charles and Davon Walker are to reappear in court this morning for Barrath’s murder, but no one has been held for Applewhite’s killing.The first and last word on an incident such as this is lawlessness and until we realise that law and order are the first requirements of a developed society, then Vision 2020 remains only a vision.There needs to be increased visibility of uniformed policemen and plainclothes officers who mix into the crowds. They need to fast track the installation of more surveillance equipment and fix those that are not working.otherwise Port-of-Shame coming soon to T&T.so sad..................
