i get what you saying man its a sad day when you cannot enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
Society on the whole has failed Trinidad everyone wants to blame someone else no one takes responsibility and the law is an arse

ever wonder why Tobago took soooo long to get bad and they still not half as bad as Trini?
they still have a sense of culture a sense of family

Now this guy was 5'7 or so, 150 lbs. Standing on the shoulder... too close to me, telling me he's an amateur. The conciderations I had were the 2 cepep workers on my left cutting grass with blades, who I noticed stopped cutting, but werent about to help.... atleast not help me anyways.

The other concideration was my wife in the car that the cyhat didnt seem to notice due to the sun's glare on the front glass. All in all, the situation was calm for the moment, and money and a 2 year old cell phone is not worth the fight. So I handed them to him.

He proceeded to take all the cash out and hand me back the wallet containing my license, CC and other stuff. That was nice.

He then patted my pockets, saw I had nothing else of value really and then told me... " Of now go. This is the betham, yuh hear?"

So I got in the car and left.... At which point I thought to run his a$$ over... but that would cost more to fix than the money he stole....

I need a gun.

Good choice man. Sorry to hear of the experience nonetheless. But a Firearm wouldn't have done you any good there. Man only take your cash and cellphone.
Shooting him would have complicated your life beyond belief.

Thats the fcuking problem in this place! You kill a bandit and you have more questions to answer than any hardened criminal out there!

Well, its not a certainty, but a good possibility exists that things will get quite complicated.
Also, shooting anyone (even a bandit) can have some serious psychological/mental repercussions. Some people never get over it, regretting that moment for years... even for life.

Plus, in this particular case, our fellow tuner's car broke down in an unfortunate area, one prone to crime.
It would be different if a bandit came to our area/home and attempted a robbery...That might warrant a more violent and strong response.
I'm not saying that we should accept the crime situation. Just that we should pick our battles (after all, this happened in the beetham and Silvermike's life and the life of his Wife were at risk.
Also, the turnout was not completely terrible. He was able to keep his ID cards, Credit Card, etc.
He was alone in an unfamiliar area.

they still at it I see....sigh
yah well I got rob on the beetham as well

I was coming down the highway like 1 am in the morning
ah pipe broke (news reports stated they broke the pipe so ppl would crash)
& de place the pipe broke was very dark
so ah large body of water flowing across the highway like 7 foot of water in the dark
So here I am getting ready to make that piece of highway briskly (de beetham)
Now my 2 front tires needed changing and I was gonna see about that the next day (believe it or not)
so car hit di water and start to float
hit di midd section, get ah wicked under blow/ spin round bout 2 times and role back off the highway (thank god cause ah would dead fa sure )

when the car stop rolling I come out di car real shaken up feeling all around myself for cuts, nothing happened me
so I shaken up (I aint know meh head from meh toe)
Look up and see bout 11 youth men running towards me
So I say yah they comin to see if ah ok and thing (yah rite)
bout 5 ah them jump in di car and was lookin for what they could take
then the "leader" of the gang show me his gun in his pants and was like wa money yah have

Now I dont really business who have gun and who dont I was liek youth man yah see meh crash and all allya go do is come and rob meh , then I handed him the money and told him god don't sleep
So he was like ok fellas leave di man give him his cell phone (maybe is cause ah handed him bout 700 dollars, di money for meh fakkin tires that make him happy)

is ah good thing after that di man working in de dump gaved me a drop to town cause it had other fellas across di street waiting to make there move also..........

when it go stop
BTW this was in 2007
