REVOLTING!

Nothing could have been as revolting and indecent than the sight of a female, supposedly a supporter of the opposition, urinating over the flag of the ruling party, the PPPC.
The incident took place in South Georgetown, a stronghold of the opposition and it took place during a meeting of the ruling People’s Progressive Party.
The violence that took place at that meeting should be condemned, as was the use of children in the whole exercise at disrupting the meeting of the ruling party.
But the sight of a female resident urinating in public over the flag of the ruling party sets a new low in our country. This is not just a political problem. It is not just an isolated incident.
It is in fact part of the moral depravity that has stepped into this country where somehow people simply do not have as great a concern as they should have about the example they are setting by their public actions.
The video that was posted on social media showed it all. Here was a female, in full glare of the public, including police ranks, standing over a flag of the PPPC, putting her hand under her skirt, pulling her underwear to one side and pissing all over the flag of the PPPC, to the amusement and applause of those watching on.
What sort of example is this to the young people of this country? There would have been a time in this country when persons would have been ashamed if they had to urinate in a secluded public place.
Look how shameless things have become whereby someone can do something as revolting as this in full view of the public. And for what purpose, other than to demonstrate her opposition to the ruling party.
I think it is disgusting to say the least. I think it sets the wrong example and it represents a new low in our country, one that we should all be concerned about.
The problem here is that this is not an isolated incident. I have heard stories and even seen incidents of some very lewd behavior in public.
I once saw two women having a war of words with each other and one of the women, to the cheers of onlookers, raised up her dress in full view to show everyone concerned what assets she had.
It is appalling public behaviour that is happening all over Guyana and for which something needs to be said and done.
I have seen in the past persons show their backsides to others as a form of ridicule. I have heard the most colorful of languages being used in public. But never have I seen something so disgusting as the sight of a woman urinating over a flag in full view of other women, children and men. What a sight!
The main opposition party has said that it intends to take the moral high ground in this election campaign. I am not going to blame the opposition for that revolting piece of political theatrics during which a female urinated on a flag.
You cannot control all of your supporters. But when they behave in a certain manner, you can disassociate yourself from such conduct and condemn it.
I am convinced that the demonstration that evening in Warlock, East Ruimveldt, was orchestrated. This was no spontaneous protest by citizens to the fact that the ruling party was holding a meeting in an area perceived to be a stronghold of the main opposition party.
The whole disruptive exercise seemed planned and I have no doubt that it was.
I expect the opposition party to condemn the vulgar display. But in an election season, it may be asking too much of our political parties to condemn their supporters. But I am sure that they will appreciate how indecent and crude it was to see a woman doing what she did in full view of the public.
What have we come to in this country? Where are we going when something like this can elicit cheers of approval and support?
I dread to think what next. Suppose when that woman was urinating she had an urge to do a number 2. Now who would have been cleaning that up?
