ADAMS
THE EDITOR, Sir:
I SALUTE our Public Defender, Howard Hamilton, for having the courage to recommend the reinstatement of the great Reneto Adams, our beloved 'Dirty Harry'. If all of our cops were like Adams, we could leave our doors unlocked at night. If we wanted to see a criminal, we would have to go to the morgue.
I have always believed that the way to deal with violent crime is to snuff it out! The only reason we have violent crime is because we allow it! Amnesty Inter-national should be forced to walk the streets of Spanish Town for a week and then let's see how much amnesty they would have left in their hearts.
Human rights are for humans! Criminals who break into our houses and slash the throats of our children are not 'human' in the sense of the definition. They have no rights. They are rabid animals, which must be 'put to sleep'.
It has been said if we do the same thing, the same way, every time, the result predictably will be the same. What we have done about crime so far is "cops, courts, judges, lawyers, jails, prisons". This has been society's approach for hundreds of years. And what is the result? Ever increasing violent crime. We have to change what we are doing, because what we are doing doesn't work.
I am, etc.,
