The UNC Minister of Defence demonized the residents of Belmont and Laventille today. Listen to my rebuke of him and my rejection of his stigmatization. I will not allow the Kamla Persad Bissessar government to broad brush citizens with their prejudices. #willfightforwhatisright
This speech will go down as one of the best written and spoken by Jeff Daniel. These words are as important and as relevant today as when he said them.
Having to stomach this party for 4 more yrs is done hard, but if come 2030, PNM eh internally get they shit together and i have to stomach these clowns for a next 5yrs that shit will be mentally disturbing.
ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face. “See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.” Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming.
I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull.
And with every step, that bull was closing in fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
I don’t understand politics at all… cause how do you kidnap me from my country, charge me in your country, and demand my resources all on a random Saturday morning😭…..
Fact check:
Rowley's "who live live and who dead dead" keeps making the rounds and for years it's been taken out of context.
