The Editor, Sir:

Danville Walker delivered the most profound and courageous rebuke of the recent murder of Douglas Chambers and criminal act against authority in Jamaica.

He submits this condemnation in the heart of the process of change taking place at his current tenure at the Customs Department.

I believe that we are approaching a tipping point in Jamaica where we have abdicated law and order to criminal networks and to an incubating environment of small-time and big-time corruption.

It is a sad day where any governing state loses its hold on law and order while trying to preserve the individual rights and freedoms of its citizens. This disregard for authority should not go unchecked, and must be rebuked in the strongest manner from the highest levels of leadership in our country, including both the public and private sector and civil society.

We have become numb. We all have our fingerprints on this scourge in witnessing any injustice before or around us. Unless we stand up to these outlaws at all levels of our society, Jamaica will no longer be the Land We Love.

I am, etc.,
