BEWARE YOUR FRIENDLY POSTAL GANGSTER

A BIZZARE memorandum to delivery workers of the Trinidad and Tobago Postal Service reveals how dreadful crime has become – and further evidence that the authorities remain hapless.

The security boss of the service wrote to agents advising them against sporting certain numbers on their clothes that are reportedly associated with gangsters.

There are worrying conclusions from the official communication.

One is that crime has become so entrenched in T&T that residents could mistake a legitimate postal employee for a merciless criminal.

The second is that gangsters are so boldfaced that the authorities expect them to confidently and brazenly walk the public streets and in the middle of the day.

The third is that national security has become useless in the fight against crime the postal bosses did not consider a united approach to stamping out this scourge of our times.

Instead, the postal service opted for the lowest denominator – advising its employees not to sport a numeral that is linked to bandits.

There clearly was no consideration of the further trauma being imposed on homeowners, many of whom are single mothers or elderly.

This must be another step on T&T’s march toward anarchy.
