A fiery protest erupted at Mango Alley, Laventille on Sunday after 18-year-old dancehall artiste Jahiem “Chucky Blanco” Joseph was shot dead by police on Saturday night.
Police said Joseph pulled out a gun and pointed it at three Inter-Agency Task Force officers on mobile patrol who went there after they got reports that there were men with guns in the area. They say they saw a group of men in front a house. The men tried to escape by running through some tracks and were chased by the police. It was during the chase when Joseph allegedly pointed a gun at them, but refused to drop it when ordered to do so.
The police said Joseph fell while running and the gun fell out his hands, but he pulled out another and aimed it at an officer causing the others to open fire on him.
Joseph was shot multiple times and was taken to the Port of Spain General Hospital where he died.
But residents said Joseph, of Trou Macaque Road, was actually performing at a children’s party when he was shot.
They said the party was wrapping up at around 9 pm and those in attendance were about to go to their homes when police arrived to disperse the crowd.
“How the pandemic is, when you see police you move,” said one resident.
“Some people ran. They shot him because they felt he was a gunman. Then they picked him up and pelt him in a jeep and left.”
Residents were adamant that he was not a criminal but a writer and singer.
“He was a talented youth,” said another resident.
“He was always smiling and always respectable. If he was doing something wrong then we would have said so. These police are too trigger happy.”
Joseph, whose songs Beatbox and Nah Play have gained hundreds of thousands of followers, also sang a song dedicated to alleged gang leader Anthon “Boombie” Boney, who was shot dead on September 8 in Caroni. The song is titled Long Live B Man.
Residents said he wrote the song as soon as he heard of Boney’s death. It was posted on YouTube on September 12 and has more than 50,000 views and more than 2,000 likes.
In the song Joseph says:
“Some say you a criminal, some say a gang you a lead. But ‘nuff ah dem don’t know how much ghetto youths you a feed.”

Via Newsday Newspaper
A People’s National Movement (PNM) local government candidate was granted $20,000 bail on Monday when he appeared before a magistrate charged with malicious damage to a woman’s cellphone, disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest.
Quincy Stewart, who contested the San Pedro, Piparo, Tabaquite seat in the 2019 local government elections, pleaded not guilty to the three charges.
It is alleged that on Saturday, Stewart took the cellphone from the woman, with whom he was allegedly in a relationship. He has been ordered to stay away from her as part of his bail conditions.
It is alleged that the woman went to the Chaguanas police station to make a report and while at the station the phone was thrown to the ground, damaging it.
Stewart was arrested at the station and later charged.
He is 41 and works as a sawmill operator. He is also on suspension from the Fire Service.

I thought we just had an election last year to answer this?
The head of WHO commended his handling of covid.
The former US ambassador commended his work.
The Economist magazine said we are one the best economy to emerge from covid lockdown.
Even if you think he is doing a horrible job, the reality is ppl think nobody else can do better.

Thanks for an unbiased answer, I glad to see even strong pnm ppl are unsatisfied with the leadership we are under. Just PnM ppl seem quiet , no complaining they just taking this, I am neither a fan of either red or rising sun government, both parties did their faeces , however I will say one thing I prospered more under the rising sun government, money had more value back then compared to now.Habit7 wrote:hover11 wrote:Habit you have to admit the perceived lesser of two evils doesn't mean they doing a good job .

That is exactly what I am saying, based on the hand we have been dealt and the crappy choices we have, nobody can do a better job. He started off 2015 in a recession and O&G prices tanking. We started climbing out the hole and the pandemic hit. I keep say stop being myopic, high food prices are a worldwide problem right now, not just TT. But the unions, COP and economy are all his responsibility while dealing with one of the greatest and longest disruptions we ever had as a nation. He isn't doing a good job on a whole and I don't think there is a big chance of a scenario where a good job exists. I disagree with keeping schools closed and extending the SoE. Masks outdoors are foolish and unscientific. I disagree with large subsidised utilities, fuel, healthcare and govt services. It makes us inefficient and wasteful. But when we cut back on those things and move to become more sustainable, critics will cry too much taxes despite the fact we pay some of the lowest taxes and utilities in the region.
Rowley knows that he is not doing a good job, but now is not the time for smooth sailing. Nevertheless, he was democratically and popularly chosen to captain the ship. Let those who can do better toss their hat in the ring.
