Life in a garrison community - what's it really like?

[Gillion]

so am i to believe that Garrisons are hereby justified?

I do not understand your question.

Questions:

1. Are people living in garrisons, happy with where they are and what goes on where they are?

2. What do people living in garrisons really think about those who don't live in them?

[nester-san]

1)It depends on how much scarce benefits they actually get, or want.

2)That they are oppressors, pretty much. Even if you are a "Big Man", if you are not of them, then you are a cash cow. In the sense that they will defend you, kill for you, but they expect you to pay through the nose.

You are wrong my dear.

Justice is whatever the people in a particular society decide and have deemed it a fit addressing for any crime.

But is the 'justice' in these garrison communities guided by reason, sound analysis, and fairness? I get the impression that the process of 'justice' in these communities is analogous to an overzealous mob shouting 'Crucify him'.

Chance are the people in the Garrison would be most "satisfied" with the results of this beating the rapist got

But did the alleged rapist get a fair trial? Was his guilt proven beyond a reasonable doubt? The fact that these communities do not subscribe to the established justice system, what resources do they utilize to establish a person's innocence or guilt?

Another question:

Don't the people living in garrisons realize that they are being exploited, used and abused by the very "are leaders" who they support?

[nester-san]

Yes, to an extent they do, which is why whole communiies switch allegiances to different parties, and sometimes allow the area leader to be overthrown. This also contributes a lot to the killings, cause as soon as the average gun-toting thug gets it into his head that he is being "fight 'gainst" he will turn on anyone, family ( I know of a guy who killed his own aunt and grandmother in the street, 30 Secs drive below the Shell gas station on Old Hope Road because they would not give him the profit from their little food stall, which he then burned to the ground, btw aunt was running on the road, pleading for her life, and he camly shot her in the back, and stood over her and shot her several more times), or area leader.

I hear Zekes was beaten in prison, and has no support after the oral sex with men thing and the fact that he had millions of dollars sitting on while his area was so broke down. You didn't realise there was no blocking of road, no threating to burn down police stations ?

The literal first idea they get into their heads, irrespective of logic, is what they use to determine guilt or innocence.

"Ah him do it!"

Did you see him?

"No, but mi know seh a him!"

How you know?

"Mi know, nobody cyaan tell mi seh a no him!"

Well I often wonder why those who are suffering in the communities don't realise that their "Dons" are living much much better than them, and only throw them enough spoils to keep them loyal and hungry for more. Look at what Bulbie was sitting on top of.

What do these people feel or think when they see regular ordinary people going about their lives to and from work, school, church or whatever? Do they really feel that they are owed something by the wider society? If so, why?

How can anyone feel satisfied or comfortable in an environment where they could be killed based on a persons unsubstantiated accusations?
