ONLINE READERS COMMENT: Crime bulldozer destroying Jamaica

ONLINE READERS COMMENT: Crime bulldozer destroying Jamaica

Dear editor,

Have you ever seen the world’s largest bulldozer — the Komatsu D575A (super dozer)? We are accustomed of seeing a D4, a D6, D9 or a D12 bulldozer, but not the biggest one in the world.

A bulldozer can do great things, as well great damage too. This powerful machine can destroy a forest, or, it can tear down any mountain or woodland.

And so it is with crime and violence in Jamaica. Crime is like a massive bulldozer in Jamaica — mashing and tearing our beautiful country to pieces — leaving it in a large pool of blood.

It is very, very sad, to see this powerful bulldozer, destroying the land of paradise.

Is there any hope for us?

Donald J Mckoy
