Soooo....when did we become a welfare state?I have ZERO sympathy for these ppl, how low do you have to be to steal a 60 year old bell from a church. Lower than the white line in the road.

These ppl know who stole it and refuse to return it. I say let the ban stay in effect, the peace of mind we have now we didn't have it before.VII wrote:I think the bell was much older than that if I'm not mistaken..

Ahhhh boy yuh know the ting. Easily 80+ tonnes per day easily came out of Petrotrin, pipe fuh so, electrical cables, pumps, motors, fittings, lots of buildings scrapped clean. When there was the absence of ‘petrotrin police’ and the place was left unsecured for those few days, it was a free for all. From former staff, contract workers, the security, men passing through the field roads. Freeness

Equally impotently and indifferently as they do in the cases of the multiple killings daily, the authorities sat by while the incidence of theft of material to supply to the scrap iron industry grew overwhelmingly.
The theft was done with such impunity that there were whole neighbourhoods where cut utility lines drooped in a manner symbolic of the limpness of the authorities. Another newspaper stated that “brand-new metal fittings were being ‘recovered’ and painted metal joists more than six feet long—which were government property and said to be worth over $1 million—were found in a scrap yard”. There was reference also to “welded girders painted in the distinctive blue of government infrastructure”. (See Newsday, editorial of August 22, 2022.)
Since the ban was implemented, how many reports of theft? These pests just showing why the government was right to shut them down, and exactly why all they can do is work in iron.Lou Screuz wrote:why these cacaholes
