“Bulling” Teacher Freed!

Clyde Fitzpatrick

Do you remember the “three bulling” teachers that made the news earlier this year? Media reports say that one of them was recently “acquitted of a charge of indecently assaulting a male student.”

According to a story carried in the News of Thursday December 22, 2011. Clyde Fitzpatrick was charged on June 22 for “indecently assaulting” a fifteen year old on February 9, this year. But, in a trial held this month at the Family Court, Fitzpatrick was acquitted and set free. Apparently, there were several grounds for reasonable doubt.

Fitzpatrick is indeed a lucky man. This is not the first time that he has managed to wriggle himself out of a similar situation. Fitzpatrick made the headlines in 2000 and again in 2011. In all cases it was a matter associated with bulling.

In this country, as long as you have education, money and a good lawyer, anything is possible.

Big up to this outstanding educator!

Is Hans King a batty man?

Hans King

When Bryan Alexander broke the story of two men (allegedly conjugal mates) who unsuccessfully attempted to check in at the Buccama Resort, he created quite a stir. Interestingly, Bryan did not mention anyone by name. The only clue he gave was the alleged presence of a senior government official.

Lo and behold! Hans King, Press Secretary to Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, called in on Too Kool Kris morning show on Hott 97.1 FM and accused Bryan Alexander of besmirching his name and his character. Hans then declared that he was prepared to KILL Bryan Alexander. He repeatedly told the host that he truly and solemnly contemplated causing Bryan’s demise over the “offensive” post on Facebook!

Apparently, the post in question somehow implicated Hans King as potentially gay. But, is Hans King really a batty man?

When Hans was selected by the PM as a replacement for the late Glen Jackson, many people thought that it would be quite a challenge for Hans to fill Glen’s boots. But in no time at all, Hans was able to hold his own. It was not long before he began to sound like Glen and behave like Glen.

Among the uncanny similarities were his voice, his mannerisms, his choice of cigar, his aggression and his rabid support for PM Gonsalves. Now, the story in question might well point to another way in which Hans may have completely taken over from Glen!

People are wondering: Is Hans King a batty man?

“Bulling” teachers back to work?

Three Outstanding Vincentian Educators

If the rumours and the ground are anything to go by, then it appears as if three prominent male educators who were allegedly involved acts of buggery with school boys are now back on the job.  According to a highly placed official in the Ministry of Education, investigations into the allegations yielded no credible information or any evidence on which to file criminal charges. The Ministry is therefore duty bound to have the gentlemen resume duties after being on suspension (with pay) for almost four months. 

Eustace gives the finger!

Another One for 2-Cool Chris: Honour them! By Amor Rodney

Meet Mr Osbourne Bowens and his lovely devoted wife, Mrs Yvette Bowens.  They are both educators of distinction in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.  Mr Bowens is currently the head of the Technical Division of the SVG Community College while Mrs Bowens is the principal of the Calliaqua Anglican School.

Osborne & Yvette Bowens

I wish to take this opportunity to applaud Mr Bowens for his outstanding contribution to the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the field of education.  Guts, as he is popularly known, began his career as a primary school teacher and has risen to educational leadership in the country’s premier institution of higher learning.  Before ascending to the office of Dean of the Technical Division of the SVG Community College, Mr Bowens was a lecturer at the Teachers College. Before that he was a teacher of history and social studies at the Campden Park Secondary School. And prior to that, Mr Bowens served the your ladies at the prestigious Girl’s High School.

In all the institutions, that he has served to date, Mr Bowens has been the popular, dapper teacher with the best looking ride.  The students adored him.  He too, has shown nothing but fondness for his students particularly those at the Girls High School and at the Teachers College.  He did an outstanding job! That is why I commend him highly today!

On a totally different note, I want to urge 2-Cool Chris to continue to expose all those males in our society have used their positions to exploit our females.  I heard him talk about bosses who look for vagilla in exchange for jobs; he spoke about the male teachers who wanted to bull for blackberry; he exposed those bulling teachers for their exploitative relations with male youths.  What about heterosexual male teachers and lecturers who have been sexing school girls; harassing college ladies; and begging students teachers for sweetness?  Should they be left alone/ Why not expose them all? Is it because they are hot and handsome? 

2-Cool Chris, I call on you to expose all the sex-ploiterers and sexual predators! Be they gay, be they straight, exploitation is exploitation and a predator is a predator!

But please, leave Mr Osborne Bowens out of this! He should be honoured for his outstanding contribution to the education of Vincentian youths!

I AM NOT VULGAR! I AM VINCI! By Helen Alexander

Helen Alexander

Vulgar, cussout lunatic, obscene, fresh, big mouth, vicious, arrogant, etc, these are ”some” of the choice words that are being hurled at me like the debris of a hurricane. Before I address this juicy issue, let me first induce my heavenly disclaimer in the next paragraph.

YOUR WORDS DO NOT DEFINE ME! I am a strong Vincentian woman who has evolved gracefully on my journey through life, I am the sum of my experiences both the good and especially the bad ones; I am a child of the living God, he sustains me, blesses me, and corrects me when need be. ONLY THE LIVING GOD WHOM I SERVE, HAS THE SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY TO DEFINE ME. I FEAR NO ONE BUT HIM! I am confident in my abilities, and though you may ridicule me for speaking the truth, your words will fall like leaves on the ground destined to rot by the decree of mother nature. OK ENOUGH KUM BA YAH, CLASS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

Those of you who are labeling me with those choice words above seem to forget that a guava tree does not produce lime, or as we say in YankeeVille, the apples do not fall far from the tree. Why be pissed off with my “rude” verbal style when all of you are more vulgar than me? The only holy mouth Vinci, is a dead Vinci. You political fanatics (especially those in the NDP) are only upset because I am not directing my obscenity,according to you, in YOUR preferred direction. Listen I don’t play by dictatorship rules, I call it as I see it even if you don’t like it; you may disagree with me but that would not stop me cause I will never back down from MY beliefs.

SOCIAL SCIENTIFIC FACT 101. Who the hell could cuss like Vincentians?  Calling me rude and vicious (stupse). St Vincent is the first prize winner of the cuss out capital category in the western hemisphere, with Trinidad grabbing the first runner up prize, and the only reason I will give Jamaica the third place is because they cuss for two seconds and then gun shot! To prove my point, please go to any municipal court on a Monday morning and you will see that the court house is FULL and 99.5% of those cases are the result of a cuss out that went wrong over the weekend, and the neighbor couldn’t take it; the poor Magistrates can’t even hone their judicial skills because of the stupid comess overload of cases, I’m sure when these dignified gentlemen get home, the first thing they grab is a shot of strong rum! Isn’t the manipulation of the RPA BILL we are currently fighting against, a sacred 99% freedom of speech cuss out affiliated judicial code, A.K.A. the freedom to cuss yuh ass and if yuh cuss me back an it bun me, ah put yuh in court 20 times; Government officials included?

No other group of people are rude like Vincentians, we don’t trouble people but if you mess with us we are going to tell you how your mother conceived you. So yes, I am just like you. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT OUR NATIONAL BIRD IS AN AMAZONA GUILDINGII PARROT (no disrespect to you National Bird), whenever you visit it, that bird never stop prattling, especially if you mess with it! I have always stated that I am grateful to God my Country is small, because if we were larger we would be on the United Nation’s endangered people’s list because of our NATIONAL MOUTH!  Please NDP fanatics, don’t be so appalled by your delusional perception of my  verbal rudeness, because all yuh mo rude than me, y’all just mad because I ain’t cussing your enemies, instead I’m giving y’all a piece of my mind. You are not going to win the next election with your scandalous attitude you know.

I CRITICIZE THE NDP BECAUSE INSTEAD OF YOU GUYS COMING UP WITH A POTENT PROGRAM TO REMOVE D COMRADE, YOU GUYS ARE CONSTANTLY DISTRACTING THE PUBLIC AND PHUCK-ING AROUND WITH SILLY FACEBOOK GENERATED PUPPET SHOW DEMONSTRATIONS THAT YEILD NOTHING BUT CONTEMPTIBLE DISGRACE, EVEN YOUR OWN BASE IS TURNED OFF, AND IF PEOPLE DON’T TALK IN RAW LANGUAGE YOU FOLKS WILL CONTINUE THIS NONSENSE UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION. IT IS A DISGRACE THAT OTHER REPRESENTATIVES WITHIN THE NDP, WHO SECRETLY AGREE WITH ME, ARE NOT BRAVE ENOUGH TO ROUND UP THE LOOSE SCREWS AND ELEMENTARY NONSENSE BEHAVIOR OF SOME OF THE ELEMENTS IN THE PARTY, USING A MORE “UN-VINCI” DIPLOMATIC LANGUAGE; OBVIOUSLY DIPLOMACY IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT, AND I AM NOT A MEMBER OF GOVERNMENT SO I DON’T CARE!

WHO AMONG YOU IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND CHALLENGE YOU ENOUGH TO WIN? THAT MEMBER WILL HAVE TO BE A MAVERICK WITH SUPREME CONFIDENCE, BECAUSE YOU WILL CANNIBALISE AND SOCIALLY DESTROY THEM, AND HE OR SHE WOULD NEED THE STRENGTH OF GOD TO RESIST YOUR SLAUGHTER. NDP WITH YOUR INTERNALLY AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR LOOSING PATH, AND BY YOUR VICIOUS PERSONAL ATTACKS ON THOSE WHO DARE TO CRITIQUE YOUR PROFESSIONAL FLAWS, YOU ARE ISOLATING AND OPPRESSING THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST AMONGST YOU, AND D COMRADE LOVES IT! HOW ARE THESE ANTICS WORKING FOR YOU? I WILL CONTINUE TO WRITE THE HARD TRUTH UNTIL YOU CLEAN UP YOUR ACTS. WHEN YOU DO, THEN YOU WOULD LOVE MY WRITING AND CELEBRATE MY NUCLEAR ASSAULT ON THE COMRADE! THE POWER OF WORDS IS INCREDIBLE!

Please stop blowing up my message box with nonsense, although some of you are RUDELY funny( I have a few seconds at work now so I decided to write this love letter to you), but I am a not taking your comments personal and none of you can cut my ass! Please discipline your undignified “Senator” gone wild, she has great potential but right now she seems to be auditioning via the internet for the next block buster movie right under your noses, and that performance is enough to render the NDP null and void! She’s the one creating a traffic jam of lawsuits to jail rude mouth Ministers; but I don’t blame her because if somebody fresh enough to call me a butch, AH COMING WITH ME CHOPPIE (by the way the person who called me Fidel Castro in drawers, watch your back)! You folks like to cuss but you don’t like rough house correction!

Anyway, class dismissed and I’m taking a vacation from writing for the comess entertainment section of Vincikalaloo. BACK TO THE SERIOUS POLITICAL BUSINESS OF KILLING THE BILLS AND CLEANING UP THE GOVERNMENT, THAT’S MY SPECIALTY (although the silly elements don’t appreciate my style). JUST REMEMBER, I AM A DAUGHTER OF THE VINCENTION SOIL, AND GUAVA DON’T BEAR LIME!

Is this the face of another sexual predator in the school system? By Amor Rodney

Recently, I had an interesting conversation with a past student of the Girls High School. I was shocked though not surprised on hearing  some of the things she told me about a certain male teacher who taught at that prestigious institution for a brief period.  Among other things, she asked me if I knew why Mr So and So was removed from the Girls High School in 2000 or thereabouts. That led me to do some checking. Lord have mercy!  It is interesting so far!

 There is an underground campaign to rid the school system of all sexual predators. It seems to have begun with those who prey on boys. What about, those who prey on girls? What about those who prey on female college students?  I make no accusation, I make no claim. I only ask, is this the face of another sexual predator in the school system?

 

Is this the face of another sexual predator in the school system?

A code of silence protecting sexual predators in SVG? By Cameron K. L Richardson

According to News report, “the Ministry of Education has commented on the issue of the alleged misconduct of three male teachers. News broke last week that three male teachers are involved in an alleged sex ring with male students at secondary and post secondary institutions here. The Ministry of Education says that it has been in communication with the Chief Personnel Officer, which has been in consultation with the Attorney General’s Office for appropriate action to be taken under the regulations of the Public Service.It is alleged that the teachers have been preying on male students at the Community College and local police have been investigating the matter”.[newss247svg.wordpress.com]

“The end result of 2 Cool’s constant tirade is that the men have been suspended from their jobs pending an internal investigation. They are all excellent teachers. But, the system must now do without their service. Thanks to 2 Cool Chris and his cravings for ratings!”[Amor Rodney-What is the matter with 2 Cool Chris?]

So let me get this straight, Amor Rodney wants us to believe the authorities suspended these three teachers because of 2 Cool Chris ranting and raving on the airwaves and NOT BECAUSE OF CERTAIN ALLEGATIONS REPORTED TO THE POLICE? I am really at a loss as to how folks are coming to the defense of these buller bwoys and not to the kids they allegedly preyed on. What about the devastating impact on the lives of these kids? How many lives have these teachers destroyed? And yes I am using the term “kids” quite loosely. I have heard folks say that the students involved in this alleged sex ring are not “kids”-while this may be a matter of perspective…it doesn’t take away from the essential point that these teachers have shown themselves to be reprehensible human beings;who are highly manipulative and who use their position to allegedly take advantage of misguided young people. They pick vulnerable “kids” who are looking for attention and approval that may seem lacking within their own home environment.

Let me just say for general edification, to a child, sexual molestation is of extraordinary significance because the child will add the experience, into his or her makeup and filter the rest of life through it. A molested child will never fully recover in any meaningful sense because recovery simply is not possible;which makes the malfeasance at our schools and within other spheres of our society concerning our children— all the more worthy of our collective public outrage. So rather than bitching about these “hard back” down-low- teachers; some thought and empathy should be afforded to the kids involved in this sordid affair. Let me pre-empt any angry responses from the teaching fraternity right now by making it very clear that the vast majority of teachers who go to work each day are good teachers and fine citizens. They are honest, devoted patriots who put in long hours, often for low pay, while serving our kids with pride and passion. And for that they deserve our unwavering respect.

Now, contrary to public opinion, I really don’t care who you sleep with. I couldn’t care less what you do in your bedroom at night with other consenting adults, animals and sundry prosthetics. But when you are molesting children and bribing young adults within a learning institution for your own sexual gratification; I have a right to express my disgust and outrage. There is a school of thought that says, Pedophiles, who almost exclusively are homosexual, should be tried quickly and executed just as quickly when found out – no second chances to ruin a child’s life. While I do not wholly subscribe to this view…surprise?…I can appreciate such line of reasoning. With that being said, let me say I am in total agreement with 2 Cool Chris to put these teachers on blast.

Apparently, Amor Rodney wants us to hold back our outrage until “charges” are brought against the alleged perpetrators; are we not merciful? It would appear that Amor Rodney wants you to sympathize, empathize, whisper among ourselves in our little private corners and give the benefit of doubt to the alleged perpetrators until proven otherwise. I say there is a place for public outrage and condemnation even when “charges” are not brought against the alleged perpetrators. All these sexual misconduct and its wounds flourish in an atmosphere of secrecy, silence and myth. Speaking out whether it be the victims or civil society brings it into the light. The willingness of victims and the public prepared to speak out would force the authorities to make legal changes(age of consent), enforced the relevant laws and at the same time enervate in a very powerful way, the social myths about sexual misconduct that promote a level of acceptance of this crime within our society.

For too long we in Vincyland have embrace a code of quiet-whisper silence when it pertains to sexual misconduct. Its time we start shaming people when they do their nonsense. Its time we shed light on the seedy underground of sexual deviance in our society. When we have 11 girls within the age range of 10-14 being impregnated, and there is no palpable outcry of the society….When we have a RAPE RALLY FOR THE ALLEGED PERPETRATOR…you know we have become a bunch of enablers.

Sexual assault is something that far too often is covered up. It lives in the shadows, under the veil, and the secrecy that surrounds it suggests that one who has experienced this must treat it as a source of shame instead of a source of anger and a cataclysmic event from which to take action. We must demonstrably show that injustice has occurred and that it cannot continue, that it must be addressed and that it must not be kept quiet. Because if there are sexual deviants amongst us, their identities must be known as silence only protects the offender, who very well might have offended before, and very well may continue to offend.

With the rampant sexual offenses that occur in Vincyland, its high time we put convicted rapists and sexual predators in a sexual offenders registry, shaming sometimes could be a good form of deterrent. It was quite refreshing reading in the papers of someone being sent to jail for having sex with an underage girl; we need to see more of this and we need folks to keep this issue on the forefront of public discourse. Silence is not and should not be an option.

But while there is seemingly complete silence on the issue of underage girls being raped(statutory or otherwise) and sexual assault in general;what I am observing from some folks is the notion that if you speak out forcefully against the buller bwoys,(I am not sure if its buller bwoys in general or just these particular teachers); there is the hue and cry that you are homophobic or they flip the script to say you the raging homophobe is in fact a buller bwoy-I think this is a nervous reflex rather than lucid thought. It is my believe people like Amor Rodney, my thug-loving-friend-Helen(wink wink) and others, use the tool of political correctness to emotionally blackmail you into silence.

What Amor Rodney and others of his/her ilk is doing here and this is really a matter of conjecture-is an attempt to suppress any contrary opinion and making independent thought unacceptable. This Political Correctness is purposely used to restrict the range of acceptable opinions to those held by a small group of enablers that enforces it. It is an attempt, often successful, to coerce the weak-hearts and timid among us to accept the opinions of the enforcing group.Well it is for folks like 2 Cool Chris to resist with every fibre of his being this emotional blackmail by these “thought police” and enablers. And I hope 2 Cool Chris and others stick to their guns and continue to “lick fire” on any predatory buller bwoys, child molesters and rapist in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

NDP lies exposed! By Lesli Patterson

Sen Vynnette Frederick

Sen Vynnette Frederick went on national television and claimed that she and her colleagues were thrown down the stair well from the House of Assembly.  However, there is video showing that  Sen Frederick walked down from the parliament and proceeded to lie on the ground next to her colleagues.  Why then is she perpetrating this dastardly lie?  Have a look at the video for yourself.

Under police guard! The Bayliss Frederick drama continues! By Amor Rodney

Before you look at this video, you may wish to read a a previous post carried on this blog on Friday March 04, 2011 and entitled. What did Bayliss Frederick do? This is a follow up to that story. We show this video without comment, except to say that up to the time of posting 9:30 am Monday March 07, 2011. Mr Bayliss Frederick was still warded at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital under police guard.
