Specialised
training is vitally important in village
defence. The idea is to have skill
operatives in the area who can deal with
a few criminal thugs before the police
can get there. Jagdeo needs to let
criminals know that if they enter the
villages, then the villagers have
the right to defend themselves and their
families. India have the training
apparatus and therefore can easily
accommodate young Indian men and women
from Guyana. Six months scholarship
programs to India would go a long way in
consolidating PPP support.
There
has to be some sort of agreement in
principle that if thugs enter the
villages and the villagers respond that
the police and government would side
with the villagers. That has to be made
abundantly clear. During the PNC racist
era, if villagers responded the police
and army would come and arrest them,
taking away their weapons. This type of
thinking must be changed. The enemy is
not the hard working villagers but the
enemy is the lazy thieves who feel they
can harass anybody without any
retribution. If the police is not
prepared to defend the citizenry then
the citizens of Guyana must do what was
done in the Western frontiers of
America-defend themselves. No apology
for defending oneself and family....
