I personally believe he is crazy. For about a year after the 2015 elections he had a long scraggly beard and was very unkempt. Then he had lots of incoherent posts leading to him spamming news sites and other Facebook groups constantly now.ProtonPowder wrote:Dizzy28 wrote:To be devils advocate though he is not a sitting member of the UNC but a former senator.

I get you, but what I also get is that perception is everything. Being a former sitting member to the UNC is as important as Krystiana Sankar being Young's former step-daughter; everyone knows the link, and the perception of that link is unbreakable. He embodies the aggression and mindset of the opposition, and is in a sense, the archetype of it.
And for that reason, to the undecided or reluctant voters, the UNC will continue to lose support.

I sincerely (for your sake) hope you're joking. If not, seek help.
Young: ‘Ignore him’
Devant releases national security minister’s cell number
Clint Chan Tack
TWO days after releasing the Prime Minister’s personal contact information on social media, former minister Devant Maharaj yesterday did the same thing to National Security Minister Stuart Young. On WhatsApp and Twitter, Maharaj said, “Prime Minister Rowley has opted to disconnect from the sufferings of the average citizen caused directly by the mismanagement of the economy by the termination of his cellular telephone.”
He said Young accused him of sedition for calling for a lawful protest and sharing the PM’s cell number. Maharaj urged citizens to call Young and “speak out about the undemocratic pattern of behaviour by the Rowley Administration on his phone.” He then released Young’s phone number. When contacted yesterday about Maharaj publicising his number on social media, Young said, “He is to be ignored.”
In a statement on Saturday, Dr Rowley regretted having to discontinue his telephone number because Maharaj publicised it on social media last Friday. The PM said Maharaj also encouraged and incited people to harass and threaten him. Also on Saturday, Young said, “It is plainly wrong and even dangerous to circulate, publicly, the private information of any citizen, and that includes, public officers.” He urged all civic-minded citizens to reject and condemn Maharaj’s actions.”
Young also said Maharaj’s circulation of calls for protest action warranted a criminal investigation and “may qualify as the serious crime of sedition.” Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said there is no criminal investigation into Maharaj circulating the PM’s’s personal contact information on social media. But Griffith warned citizens against making this kind of information public because it could jeopardise people’s security. Griffith said subsequent to the PM’s cell phone number being publicised on social media, Rowley received threatening phone calls from one person. He said this matter is now the subject of a police investigation.
People’s National Movement (PNM) Women’s League chairperson Camille Robinson-Regis said the Opposition Leader must condemn Maharaj’s “guerilla gambit.” But she opined that this may not happen if the “opposition’s thin veneer of decorum was shattered on her instructions.” Robinson-Regis said if this is the case, the League demands that Kamla Persad-Bissessar “take responsibility for the reckless actions of her former cabinet member.” She also said the League expects “nothing short of an immediate apology and public interdiction of Mr Maharaj.”
In a statement, the PNM supported Robinson-Regis’ position. PNM public relations officer Laurel Lezama Lee Sing said Maharaj continues to be “unpatriotic and ill-disciplined” in and out of public office. She said Maharaj’s efforts to harass and effectively torment the PM “only serves to prove his “imbecilic and obnoxious levels of thinking, and his malicious intent to attempt to destabilise our country.”

Lmao. And this is where the true problem with what Devant did becomes apparent. Because individuals with their own partisan agendas will seek to excuse this behavior. Tell me then why a founding member of the UNC (Roodal Moonilal) is seeking to give cover to Devant's actions with a blatant lie? Moonilal is throwing out the excuse that "even Trump gave out his personal phone number." But this is not telling the entire story, nor rooted entirely in fact. Trump gave his number to other foreign leaders, NOT to the general public. Also, it was Trump's choice to do so. Yeah, but keep defending the indefensible and see where it leads. Doing this to an average citizen it could be seen as harassment, so why is it any different here to open up the Prime Minister to threats, and harassment? Common sense nuh people.
Sorry, but even the Devil would have trouble advocating here.
