if the owners of this business refuse to sell to PH drivers as a form of protest i will say yea. closing their door and heading maracas or down the islands for a 'carnival' long weekend looks like and excuse to me cause monday and tuesday we have to work and lent is on wednesday.

I live in a village and theres only ph taxis that work in our area to travel in and out and im guessing in many areas there a ph taxis that are the only transport system to get in and out. I agree that there should be proper regulation, identification and so forth for ph taxis, but you cant fault the entire ph taxi system becuase of 1 incident. There are many good people driving ph taxis to make a honest living

why cant the drivers put the cars H and get a taxi badge so that insurance can cover the passengers that travel in the car in the event of a passenger being injured in a traffic accident.

Keyboard warriors sitting at home and finding all the faults in why something shouldn't be done.

Seems legit!

Let the police kill another afro in the states and you will find them protesting in their masses.When is time for our own people,they don't care.

Oh, they care.
Problem is that they just too lazy, cowardly and self absorbed to do anything serious enough to make a real impact.

Observe
Not a soul calling for a protest where all citizens converge in a peaceful sit in at Min. Nat. Sec. or the PM's office or residence. Easier and less risky to make a pappyshow out of the poor girls funeral.

Central business owners happy with closure



Heads of business organisations in Central said they are happy with the number of businesses which remained closed yesterday in support of calls to end violence against women.

President of the Greater Chaguanas Chamber of Industry and Commerce Vishnu Charran, said Charran’s Plaza, along with Adams Plaza and several other mid-sized businesses along the Chaguanas Main Road and Xtra Foods, which has two branches in the Central borough closed for the day.

He said the purpose was to send a signal to Government that enough was enough when it came to violence against women.

Charran said many businessmen have suffered at the hands of criminals in one way or the other.

He said women are an essential part of the backbone of the economy and the workforce for many small and medium sized operations.

Chaguanas businessman Rajiv Dipnarinesingh, who operates Busy Corner Mall, said the “ball is in now in the court of the politicians.”

Dipnarinesingh said, “It is a good initiative but at the end of the day both the Government and Opposition have to work on the necessary laws to keep criminals at bay.

At the end of the day all the silent protest is commendable, if the parliamentarian does not support the necessary legislation all the efforts of the thousands calling for change would be for nothing,” he said.

President of the Couva Chamber Ramchand Rajbal Maraj said he was pleased that businesses decided to support the cause.

Maraj said, “Some of the businesses that opened allowed the women working for them to stay away for the day as a sign of protest. Business in Couva has been hit hard by COVID-19, many have folded and some work with reduced hours. Its a struggle for many to stay afloat , yet they have risen to the cause. Enough is enough when it comes to violence against women. Many women are the bread-winners in many households seeing that their husbands have lost their jobs. Many are single parents, women must feel safe to come out and work, not having to live with a constant shadow over them that brings fear.”

Hello redmanjp,

Yes,

Senior citizen and team member FordeG went on a racist rampage.

I would like to assume he was banned for his “dat lil indian girl” comments.

Probably was on his bucket list before retirement.

to be fair it's true there wasn't this level of outage and candlelight vigils when ashanti died (there were some). but this one happened as many were still getting over the last one being ashanti so it could simply be a case of this being the last straw and many ppl feeling 'enough is enough', that's why this one got so much attention- is not about indian or african, is just we fed up of women being killed.

and in many vigils it wasn't just about andrea but about women in general

I don't see any reason my post was bad. I think people don't like facing the reality that people see blacks as expendable. They saying Andrea is an angel and RIP to her, she didn't deserve this fate. But aren't all the black women who have been killed angels too? God is using this to show how the nation sees us blacks.

how would u prefer be seen?

FordeG,

Ashanti’s death bubbled the pot, and with Andrea it boiled over.

The protests were for ALL angels and not just one individual. If you cared to attend a protest you wouldve understood the cause.

By you referring to Andrea as “dat lil indian girl” says that all you can see is skin color.

Change your thinking old boy.

[paid_influencer]

yea there was a ramp up in response from the first, to the second, and now to the third abduction and murder of a young woman (Andrea was the third). It wasn't like this island-wide response happened without the context of those before.

https://www.guardian.co.tt/news/a-dange ... 476767ac49

FordeG, read the above. This is fresh in the mind of everyone that went to the rememberances. Please do not see race in everything.

[bluefete]

I agree totally with MaxP and paid_influencer.

FordeG: You seem to be walking with a huge chip on your shoulder. A huge chip on your shoulder.

If you cannot see beyond you own hair texture, you have a serious problem. Usually, people who only see race can spout nothing else but race. I feel sorry for you.

Ashanti's death was a spark but Andrea's death was the catalyst. That is what it took for this nation to wake up.

It is time you start seeing people as human beings and not as a colour. Stop speaking the language of your slave masters.
