Major Violence Producers in ZOSO's

No matter how wicked the criminals are, you can't drop them in a hole and forget them. As night follows day, when the cover is eventually removed, there will be people in that hole that shouldn't be there. Those people will never forgive you, and many have learned some dangerous things in there. The St. James murder level was something closer to a war zone overseas than a parish in Jamaica. I heard them say that the communities are finally breathing again. They can hold a little birthday or christmas party. Who's rights are we talking about?
Why can't they convene a judicial panel to address the issue of the murder suspects. Explain to the judges that you have reason to believe these people are producing most of the violence. Neither the police, the government, the opposition, or the community wants to let them out. The only thing for us to decide is the method and time needed to build a case and charge them. Our criminal justice system has been starved of investment and trust for decades. The gangs have been protected in their communities, and by a corrupt criminal justice environment as well. To now ask that same system to become sophisticated enough to take on entrenched violence producers in such a short time is not reasonable. I also think the gov't wasn't prepared for their strategy to reap success so quickly. How could they be? Nothing had worked for so long. The technology wasn't there. The data wasn't there. The intelligence has started coming in, but that will take time as well. In the beginning, time is your friend, until it's not. -RG Gov't will redouble crime-fighting efforts after SOE ends, says PM
