Would it be acceptable to use "War" tactics to fight crime?

eeeh when dat 50 bus, it nuh normal, surely more than an irritant

[Karl]

By resources, I thinking of money for the most part, but weaponry comes into that, but would you say the police/army are adequately armed to win a "war" against the gun men?

Yes!
as fact I know that they are more than adequately armed!

That nonsense about the criminals have a number of .50 calibre shooting guns is a nonsense argument. Those guns would be mere irritants to properly planned and executed actions against those in whose hands they are.

[OJ]

that is the mistake we have been making for years. How many m16 or mpps you see in downtown london. You need good laws and good enforcement. Look at what the pm has done.. protected an individual that community that has illegal blockade and shot up army vehicle.. IN the u.s.a that would label such people domestic terrorist and you would get the full nine and any funding tied to that group gone or you investigated if remotely related to them. Now how would that work in ja seen the pm relationship. If their was rico law or the anti-gang law i ja as it is in canada and the usa.. bruce would be in handcuffs.

The Govt is in trouble for bending the rules now we are going to allow its agents to bend the rules too?This HUGE moral issue suddenly takes a rhatid backseat.

You keyboard stuck again?

Hey, if we have the resources to occupy Arnett and some of the others at the same time, I am all for it.

The way things looking now, we may not have any other choice if all a dem joining forces against Babylon. TG is Ground Zero though.

A lot of unacceptable actions are worth it in practical terms, short term.

I am sure many Britsh leaders had those ideas about the IRA for decades, but today Martin McGuinness is a respected governemt official.

Karl, Have You Seen The Movie?

Who said that one should live for a cause, not die for it!

Karl, if you have not seen the movie "Patton" (1970) I strongly recommend it. "Patton" won seven Oscars.

General George S. Patton certainly lived for the cause. He led US troops during World War II in North Africa, Italy, Normandy, and into Germany.

He died soon after the war in a traffic accident.

They would not!!! Such an action would be deemed unacceptable right around the world. We don't need more flak!

(Flak incidentally has two meanings, funnily enough! I don't mean the gunfire one!)

But what if it worked and elimanted the gun men. Would it not be worth it?

[MissLondon]

If by resources you mean weapons that would not be the problem.

[Bricktop]

Oh really? So when they were trying to wrest Arnett Gardens for Phang how come yuh never call for military occupation? 50 man each wit M16's terrifyng a community doesn't count? baaaah baaaah baaaah baaaah baaaaah

"No poor dumb son of a b*tch ever won a war by dying for his country.

He won the war by making the poor dumb son of a b*tch on the other side die for HIS country!"

I agree with this, but does Jamaica have the resources to use the other ways? I mean looking at the jamaican security forces today, the fact that there is no money to invest in them and the current threat to national security, what is the best solution?

I definatley agree with bolded, but not just Tivoli, all the garrisons.

If by resources you mean weapons that would not be the problem.
