A Trinidad citizen is assaulted at a public pan function and the media goes silent. Why? Does it take investigative skills beyond those posseted by the Trinidad media to get to the bottom of this? Has Mr. Gittens not given enough information in his post about the incident? https://whensteeltalks.ning.com/forum/topics/bullied-and-assaulted-for-when-steel-talks-articles

  • BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA DON'T WANT TO JEOPARDIZE THEIR SOURCE OF FREE TICKETS TO THE SHOWS!!!!!! 

  • What is wrong with all of you?…Do you really believe that Trinidadians take Pan that seriously…especially out of Panorama season and worse now during the World Cup?

    • Well they better not ever trouble you my brother Merrytones, because mosquitos and bugs go bite them anytime of the year... This is a global pan forum and they messed with one of its members, This not about Trinidad anymore, This about common decency.

      • Bugs…I'm just being real meh brother…Trinidadians don't give a rats arse about Pan and you know it too…at least not in the way we here choose to make an important matter of the issue at hand….and maybe that is one reason why the present PT regime can run roughshod for so long too…I could talk because dey know where we in Merry Tones stand with them. Hence the reason why we get less corn than the other yes men fowls…At any rate I'm not too sure if the matter at hand is even public knowledge over here. I never read it in the news and something like that  will never make a TV news broadcast…So there you have it…salt…What Bertel has to do is sue they arse...that might then go public…

  • So threats are not to be taken seriously, we have to wait until something more serious happens so society can say, let them wreak havoc on one another?
  • Really? Seriously? This is not newsworthy? The fact that these pan leaders act as an example to the youth and do not follow a code of conduct with ethical behaviour? Is it ok for pan men to still act as lawless bad johns so the society can point fingers and say, look all you see, a set of gangstas. Sorry, but pan deserves better and I say shine the torchlight and you will see cockroach run for cover. https://whensteeltalks.ning.com/forum/topics/bullied-and-assaulted-f...
  • Not sure if they frequent WST, but they will know now on their public Social Media outlets, for sure...
  • Did the media know of the incident?

  • Bugs, As I had mentioned before, I think Pantrinbago  already put Fear in people and they afraid to Comment or do anything on this Subject

    • Who is afraid of what, and why? This is not an isolated incident, but unless others come forward nothing will change.

      So: Have there been specific threats? Have they been followed by actions? Were  people killed, injured, had their homes burned down, lost their work or reputations through these actions?

      Bullies feed and thrive on FEAR. The solution:  to starve them - don't walk with fear.
