He's a journalist... it his job.

Office holders should make sure they have no files worth "bussing."

And the authorities should be capable enough to prevent criminals from becoming this bold and threatening journalists from going about their business.

He should have known that it comes with the territory. He feel he could show up these underworld characters with no repercussions?

Did he personally receive death threats or did someone [informant] tell him that his name was on a hit list?

If his intentions are true and what he wants at the end of the day is to completely expose all those involved in the drug trade in the hopes that it will bring the country to a better place.......... then hes doing more than ALL of us here on this site combined.

I commend him....

'what we doh know....wont hurt we'


That's the mentality, whatever the reason for him investigating and making public apparently he shouldn't because the repercussions are his own fault. We as a nation wont stand behind a man for showing us what is going on but will say he looked for it when he is gunned down. Should have let them run wild Mark.

Many people don't realise that these are contributing factors that will be the cause of the fall/ failing of this nation, its only a matter of time before Trinidad becomes like Nigeria or one of those other failed nations.
You have the cocaine juice, the assassination of a state prosecutor, now the targeting of someone who is brave enough to bring to light many things which were presently never before general knowledge, carry on..............

nobody saying that..all we saying is he supposed to know what the possible consequences of his actions were...whether the consequences be right or wrong...

and if he was truly fearless and wanted to bring out the truth blah blah blah he would not have run...

which begs the question - why do it in the first place? for the lil adrenalin rush you get by interacting with these people, and from knowing that you getting into something big?
more $$ for investigative reporting? a lil media award? certainly not the truth/ its his responsibility as a journalist etc..

It is my sincere hope that he information he provided to the authorities is acted upon swiftly so that he doesn't lose his life.

hypocritical trini mentality or not

TV6 & Mr. Bassant are trying to convince somebody they're shocked & afraid for the threat on Mr. Bassant's life, when this isn't entirely true.

The man KNEW what was going on & who it involves & how high up the ladder this vine goes BEFORE he made it public & went to the police. He is investigating criminals in wife beaters & slippers, & then reporting on his findings to the public and gov't employed criminals in grey shirts wit blue pants that work in tandem with those he investigates, & expecting something to happen on the info he provided. & something did, just that what happened was not what he had in mind when they started digging. It's not that they weren't aware of the risks involved. They played the odds on the possible outcomes of his investigations & got the short end of the stick.
Same ting as snitchin on anand to anand, tellin anand to investigate anand & lock up anand. Then playin shocked when anand bum-rush yuh.

Mr. Bassant, though only doing his job as a journalist to the best of his ability, for the benefit of the TV6 newsroom & the enlightenment of the nation, went looking for answers to questions he wasn't sure he should ask, found them, & now somewhat regretting he asked. I am (& I'm sure many others are) grateful to him for his contribution, and I am not saying that he deserves what he's getting, but this is the gamble he made, so now he has to deal with it
