Chris is getting what he deserves
Again, I was watching a vlog where Chris was arrested in Kenya, Somalia, and Cuba. He's not new to this. He's true to this. He basically laughed at these countries after he was released.

In one African country he was throwing money to the people as if they were dogs . It was either Somalia or Nigeria. Whichever it was, that behavior is considered illegal. In the end though, whatever he did in Somalia and was arrested for it, while he was incarcerated, he placed those videos on private, not deleted.

After his release, he made a video saying, F....k Somalia. This dude has zero respect for people's suffering or below average lifestyle. He is doing the same with his videos from Trinidad.

Who is to say he won't release them and curse at Trinidad after his release. The disrespectful part of it is, those disrespectful videos were later monetized!!!!! My stomach is sick!!! He continues to exploit and become rich from his indecent behavior..I HOPE THAT EVERY CENT OF THE DIRTY MONEY HE MADE WILL BE USED UP TRYING TO FREE HIM. DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING

PNM bloggers, they out in full force with this. Pushing race and vitrol everywhere, that's what's disgusting

Honestly seems as if local 'intelligence' sour because despite claiming they don't know where our criminal population is hiding, these sleazy YouTube misery pimps enter country and the find the criminals no problem. He made them look bad so is time to get petty.

That aside, I wish the authorities would speed up whatever they trying to do so he could get his his slimy, what if Ian Alleyne was an ugly white man ass out of the country.

unfortunately we dont live in a perfect world

the law isn't fair

rapists and bandits can terrorize you mercilessly and torture you and then get bail to do it again once they eh murder someone

even murder can get bail now

i believe we are war with the criminal elements and in war the rules are different

i`m just being realistic when i post rather than idealistic


he really should not have been arrested or charged or held but.....if the benefit outweighs the bad publicity or financial cost then it was worth it


most people here are just mouthers and wouldn't do anything to help the crime situation if it involves any sort of personal risk to themselves nor do they know how much control the underworld has in trinidad and if you don't understand that...you wouldn't understand why what was done, needed to be done and the pros far outweigh the cons

PNM mattress returns


A law in search of a crime

Sunity Maharaj

I, too, was stunned and horrified by the charge of sedition laid against Canadian vlogger Christopher Hughes, known to YouTube audiences as Chris Must List.

Where the Director of Public Prosecutions had seen seditious intention, my legally untrained eyes had fixed on the riveting images that Hughes’ camera had brought back from his trips inside the eastern belly of the capital.

There was the jolt of lost innocence, seeing children so matter-of-factly dispensing warnings of no-go zones as they guided the tourist through their own confined spaces of safety.

Elsewhere, abandoned multi-million-dollar apartment buildings, pockmarked with bullets, blown out windows and smashed walls evoked a war zone. Funded by taxpayers for families, the apartments had been reduced to shells, emptied of people, perhaps fleeing for their lives.

And then there were the young men caught between fantasy and futility, expecting to kill or be killed in a war that nobody knew who had started, when, and for what reason.

From the rooftop of the abandoned multi-storey apartment complex, Hughes’ camera had brought into focus the location of the sprawling sanctuary of gun-toting, warring youths. Bounded by a police station in one direction, it sat on the boundary of the capital’s commercial district on another, and had line of sight to the west, all the way to the Waterfront complex and across Government Plaza up to the Parliament.

From this vantage came the glimpse of a possibility of solutions.

Hughes’ access to an area considered dangerous by most locals, including journalists, was not surprising. A sub-economy based on crime tourism has emerged in East Port of Spain which is now on the map for adventure-seeking vloggers who are building social media audiences eager to see them experience “the world’s most dangerous places”. A Greek vlogger whose visit had preceded Hughes’, promoted Laventille as “the Caribbean’s deadliest hood”, while another hyped it as the “most vicious hood”.

In this zone between rivals 6 and 7, foreign vloggers are warmly welcomed and treated to guided tours through bullet-riddled housing projects, along canals, up and down hills and tracks and traces. Along the way, the guides fill them in on the territorial wars that have divided communities, including families who dare not cross the street to each other. Along the way, they collect interviews rife with accusations of police corruption and media stereotyping, topped off by coveted interviews with an entertainment celebrity who has the bullet scars to complete the image.

Whatever the outcome of the case against Hughes, his prosecution on the charge of sedition will likely reduce the flow of foreign vloggers building their social media audiences on Trinidad’s reputation for crime. Those who persist would’ve learned not to post their videos until they leave.

More likely to resonate well beyond this case, however, is the application of the 124-year-old Sedition Act in contemporary Trinidad and Tobago—which, judging from the cases brought this century, has been so unconvincing that it is beginning to look like a law in search of a crime.

This was not the case in 1920 when the colonial British government, overwhelmed by three years of worker unrest, had passed the Sedition Act with the clear purpose of restoring control by inhibiting free speech and the spread of ideas through publications. The law was passed within four months of the successful end of the 1919 dock workers’ strike which had resulted in a 25% wage increase and the reinstatement of fired strikers.

For one month between January 13 and February 17 in 2020, the Sedition Act fell off the statute books following a ruling by Justice Frank Seepersad that it was vague, uncertain and could lead to arbitrary application. Further, he found it to be incompatible with a sovereign democratic state in limiting constitutional rights to freedom of thought and expression, and freedom of the press.

That ruling was overturned by the Appeal Court whose judgment was upheld by the Privy Council.

Being sound law, however, does not necessarily mean that the Sedition Act is today relevant or even useful to T&T society. In a world where anyone can have a global platform for amplified expression and dissemination of ideas, the policing of published content for seditious intent ranks somewhere between futility and farce.

The point has been made that the value of the Sedition Act, like any law, should not be nullified merely on the basis of age. There’s no argument with this. However, the value and usefulness of a law depends on its fitness for purpose and enforceability.

If we accept this, then we should be willing to review the Sedition Act to bring it in line with the constitutional rights and protections enjoyed today by the people of Trinidad and Tobago but which, for them, were an unimaginable dream 124 years ago.

With the courts having interpreted the law as it exists on the books, it falls to the Parliament to take on the challenge of review and change.

Bounded by a police station in one direction, it sat on the boundary of the capital’s commercial district on another, and had line of sight to the west, all the way to the Waterfront complex and across Government Plaza up to the Parliament.

From this vantage came the glimpse of a possibility of solutions.

Hughes’ access to an area considered dangerous by most locals, including journalists, was not surprising. A sub-economy based on crime tourism has emerged in East Port of Spain which is now on the map for adventure-seeking vloggers who are building social media audiences eager to see them experience “the world’s most dangerous places”. A Greek vlogger whose visit had preceded Hughes’, promoted Laventille as “the Caribbean’s deadliest hood”, while another hyped it as the “most vicious hood”.

In this zone between rivals 6 and 7, foreign vloggers are warmly welcomed and treated to guided tours through bullet-riddled housing projects, along canals, up and down hills and tracks and traces. Along the way, the guides fill them in on the territorial wars that have divided communities, including families who dare not cross the street to each other. Along the way, they collect interviews rife with accusations of police corruption and media stereotyping, topped off by coveted interviews with an entertainment celebrity who has the bullet scars to complete the image.

Whatever the outcome of the case against Hughes, his prosecution on the charge of sedition will likely reduce the flow of foreign vloggers building their social media audiences on Trinidad’s reputation for crime. Those who persist would’ve learned not to post their videos until they leave.

More likely to resonate well beyond this case, however, is the application of the 124-year-old Sedition Act in contemporary Trinidad and Tobago—which, judging from the cases brought this century, has been so unconvincing that it is beginning to look like a law in search of a crime.

This was not the case in 1920 when the colonial British government, overwhelmed by three years of worker unrest, had passed the Sedition Act with the clear purpose of restoring control by inhibiting free speech and the spread of ideas through publications. The law was passed within four months of the successful end of the 1919 dock workers’ strike which had resulted in a 25% wage increase and the reinstatement of fired strikers.

For one month between January 13 and February 17 in 2020, the Sedition Act fell off the statute books following a ruling by Justice Frank Seepersad that it was vague, uncertain and could lead to arbitrary application. Further, he found it to be incompatible with a sovereign democratic state in limiting constitutional rights to freedom of thought and expression, and freedom of the press.

That ruling was overturned by the Appeal Court whose judgment was upheld by the Privy Council.

Being sound law, however, does not necessarily mean that the Sedition Act is today relevant or even useful to T&T society. In a world where anyone can have a global platform for amplified expression and dissemination of ideas, the policing of published content for seditious intent ranks somewhere between futility and farce.

The point has been made that the value of the Sedition Act, like any law, should not be nullified merely on the basis of age. There’s no argument with this. However, the value and usefulness of a law depends on its fitness for purpose and enforceability.

If we accept this, then we should be willing to review the Sedition Act to bring it in line with the constitutional rights and protections enjoyed today by the people of Trinidad and Tobago but which, for them, were an unimaginable dream 124 years ago.

With the courts having interpreted the law as it exists on the books, it falls to the Parliament to take on the challenge of review and change.

Good take.

The TTPS searching for more charges as they realize the sedition charge will not stick. While privy council upheld the act, they stated that sedition will only be committed where there is an intention to incite violence or disorder. It would be stretch for TTPS to prove Chris did this.

Chris is getting what he deserves
Again, I was watching a vlog where Chris was arrested in Kenya, Somalia, and Cuba. He's not new to this. He's true to this. He basically laughed at these countries after he was released.

In one African country he was throwing money to the people as if they were dogs . It was either Somalia or Nigeria. Whichever it was, that behavior is considered illegal. In the end though, whatever he did in Somalia and was arrested for it, while he was incarcerated, he placed those videos on private, not deleted.

After his release, he made a video saying, F....k Somalia. This dude has zero respect for people's suffering or below average lifestyle. He is doing the same with his videos from Trinidad.

Who is to say he won't release them and curse at Trinidad after his release. The disrespectful part of it is, those disrespectful videos were later monetized!!!!! My stomach is sick!!! He continues to exploit and become rich from his indecent behavior..I HOPE THAT EVERY CENT OF THE DIRTY MONEY HE MADE WILL BE USED UP TRYING TO FREE HIM. DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING

PNM bloggers, they out in full force with this. Pushing race and vitrol everywhere, that's what's disgusting



oorrrrrr that's how the Trinituner gaslighting Division Kommandant has been redirected since the incident.... if anyone noticed. The matching dates of this thread and the last post isn't a coincidence.


You think the invoicing set up based on replies so could draw out a topic and engage multiple folks to increase revenue?


Can someone share the payment plan please?

I don;t know what you mean regarding invoicing and engagement revenue.
I was referring to the pnm propaganda blogger assigned to Trinituner and his acute absence the exact time this thread was created because of his reassignment orders to deal with this, as quoted.


Understood...just wondering what payment plan they're using for the propaganda...per post? per topic? per engagement of other users?

IMO, that most disappeared post election means there was a deliberate payment scheme pedalling mis-information and lies...it seems to be happening again..

He had to. His other lawyer Williams was on 102.1 this morning.

That man sounded like a real dodo and many people wanted to know what the heck was going on.

His lawyer sounded like he was working with / for the TTPS.
