I posted this a few weeks ago and hear we go again. One (there could be more) out of the hundreds locked up on Rikers Island, is a Trinbagonian. My father used to say, ‘Heaven and hell is right here on earth, oui!” The black man is experiencing it daily.

I heard that a request has been sent to the courts for the release 200 African American children who are in prison. Guilty or not guilty, they were not given a trial and they are serving time just like Kalief Browder did.  I believe more than 200 African Americans young people are going through this horrible situation. Many mothers and fathers attend church and their children are locked up. All the pastors and priests are anxious about are the tithes… offering… the collection plate.
I heard the New York Mayor talked about Kalief Browder, but I did not hear the Governor say anything about him. Did anybody hear him talk about Kalief? We must never forget Kalief Browder.  
You could always find a Trinbagonian in almost every situation in the world.
Russell Hernandez a Trinidad and Tobago National was held at Rikers Island Prison for 2 years, without being charged because he refused to testify against two members of a gang named Sex Money Murder. These gang members tried to rob him.
