Extend SoE indefinitely

The author, Neil R de Montrichard from Westmoorings, expresses strong disagreement with the opposition's stance against extending the state of emergency (SoE) in Trinidad and Tobago. He argues that law-abiding citizens are not negatively impacted by the measure.

De Montrichard believes the SoE is a necessary tool for law enforcement to more effectively target and apprehend criminal elements. He asserts that by removing these individuals from society, the living conditions for everyone else will improve. "It is designed for the police to go after the criminal elements easier, who, when caught, will make living more comfortable," he writes.

Law-abiding citizens are not affected by the SoE. It is designed for the police to go after the criminal elements easier, who, when caught, will make living more comfortable.

He advocates for a prolonged state of emergency, suggesting it should be extended for years until all criminal elements are eradicated. "If needed, they should extend the SoE for years, until we can get rid of them all, and we can then return to a normal life," de Montrichard states, emphasizing his desire for a return to normalcy once the crime problem is resolved.
