As we say in Trinbago, planasse… hit someone with the flat side of a cutlass.

I saw a video of a man beating his son with a cutlass. A damn fool filmed it and put it on the internet. Some people love to celebrate violence.

I felt hurt when I heard the child crying and pleading for his father to stop. This man tied his son’s hands, feet, had him on his back on the ground. He held his feet in one hand, raising his butt off the ground and started hitting him with the cutlass.

This child was pitifully, begging his father to stop, the father in his cruel rant place the blade by the child’s neck in a threatening way. The video ended there, but how cruel can humans be…
