Trinbagonians have become so accustomed to crime that it no longer has the ability to shock or cause dismay.... This is my thoughts about the recent murder of the Swedish couple in Tobago. As far as I know Tobago has less crime than Trinidad therefore its all the more shocking and most of all sad. This couple did not deserve to die like this! Nobody, in fact deserves to die in this manner!
This crime only serves to damage our reputation as a tourist destination and will cause many to think twice before visiting our shores. I know I certainly won't visit any country where I won't feel safe. So imagine how foreigners will feel about visiting our isles now! It can cause many to lose their jobs as if the tourists stay away from Tobago, those employed in the tourism industry will suffer loss. In addition foreign investors will simply take their money elsewhere to invest if incidents like this continues to occur. Crime is the ultimate expression of selfishness. I sympathize with the families of the victims, may God be with you at this time of your grief. To the citizens of Tnt please choose what is right and do the right. Let us follow the golden rule and put away selfishness: Do to others as you would have them do unto you.
