Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Sunday | June 19, 2005

Dangers of vigilante justice
THE MATTER-OF-FACT manner in which a man reported last Thursday of the summary dispatching of two would-be robbers in Westmoreland should make the guardians of the country's justice system shudder at our slow descent into barbarity.

A Fasta week
"WHA DIS father?" I already said my Father's Day piece so let us wallow in the glow of the 9.77 run by 'Atuffa' Powell. - Orville Taylor


Crime rate? No 'Wonder'!
AS A young child growing up in the 1960s, I would hear Granny Lena, my grandmother, from time to time talk about a mysterious figure called 'Wonder'.


Plea-bargaining a bad idea
THE PROPOSED plea-bargaining legislation is a bad idea. Law cannot maintain its majesty when it caters to the lowest common denominator in human nature. British common law is majestic. It was not born of religion or superstition. Even the Romans knew to.


IN THE EYE of the narco-trafficking storm
I WAS NEVER one to enjoy helicopter rides and it was not anticipated that this one would be any different. - Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin.
