1990 Coup Special on Gayelle TV (Clip 3) Abu Bakr being arrested.

[clintmack28]

look at the soldier taking out abu's money. i know he took that for sure lol

[deebastard77]

Kill Abu Bakr, just like they killed my representative Mr. Leo DesVignes, who had small children at the time. I have and will always hate this man, who taught people that treason is not punishable by death in Trinidad.

[driojo]

National Hero..dey should gv dis man the highest national award

[s3ptisim401]

0:54 one of me best friends Richard Thomas son of pilot Bobby Thomas, held hostage in the TTT building I lived on Cornelio Street back then and we could hear gunfire and loud explosions coming from this area for at least 3 days after the 27th.

[bertrab87]

the army had all right to kill him then, i don't know why they didn't

[stara2608]

@bertrab87 thats easy you dont know why because you are ignorant...

[bertrab87]

@stara2608 wait.. are you defending these people? if they had kill all of them they wouldnt have had any big investigation going on for 20 years.. you feel in america they were gonna get off like this? i sure most of these people walking the streets normal now

[stara2608]

@bertrab87 "IF THEY WERE IN AMERICA" excuse me the Americans ARE Terrorists... the best kind.. The Americans have devastated the Entire world.... Im not saying that Abu Bakr and his bunch are innocent but what i am saying that people like the people responsible for clico, HCU, and other similar organizations as well as supermarkets and like business that raise their prices for no reason, and persons like the past Prime Ministers PM & BP have done worst and we havent done anything to them...

[bertrab87]

@stara2608 if those things could be proven, they should suffer the same fate, that's justice. these people dont deserve to be walking the streets like nothing ever happened

[stara2608]

@bertrab87 what do you me "IF THOSE THINGS COULD BE PROVEN1" these people are in court right now!!! right now!!! they have ruined people's lives, taken people's money.... some people have died with the shock and betrayal.... that is the thing about Trinidadians... always blind to the real issues... Killing Abu Bakr would not solve any of the problems in the society right now... our problems are much deeper and until we open our eyes to what is really going on...we are and will remain in trouble!

[dawgyblack]

I heard they gave up when they Jamaica was going to send troops... Is this true?

[andresaimar2010]

no NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS!...except in Trinidad

they can walk free and even have a say and directly affect our future goverments

[supernaturalguy2009]

they should have held him against the wall and riddle him with bullets

[jason4275]

All those people should spend at least 20 years and the leaders should get the death penalty for treason agains TNT but the leader abu baka is still out of prison

[amilcarmaund]

this real fuk up cause deh police an army killin we without guns an deh have video proof this mother fuker had 1 an is no scn

[CreoleCommando]

The UNC party gave Bakh the green light to do this while he was in jail ramesh Maharaj went all the way to the Privy Council to spring him from jail, after 95 electon Bakh's men were placed in charge of the URP gangs which fueled an on going gang warfare that continues to this day the murder rate as since shot thru the roof all these Indians that cussing Bakh can't seem to recall UNC leaders cosy pardership with the Jammatt, 2 of Bakh's men even got killed in Guyana while working death a squad!

[Rightist2]

Muslim devils

[comrad1986]

Call me crazy if you want but stuff like this makes me want to bear the "moss green" with pride and honour.....it times like these i would like to serve my country proudly and bravely !!!!

[lydisoprano]

Back then if your father, mother, brother sister etc was in the Army or a Police officer, they were well regarded and looked up to. No one in school would do anything to you. We had never seen anything remotely close to this. Murder was once in a long while and you could actually go out for Jouvert. Children could go in the shop. The only scary things were the drunk people coming home in the taxi next to you and licks from your parents.

[down2earthchiatt]

@lydisoprano and you know what the hard thing is crime is no longer something you hear of in the news...Crime comes home to meet us now... No longer do we have to cross its path, it ambles on our path... steups...

[AliShim123]

how can a man sing praise of God and bring so much evil to this country, and why isnt he dead as yet: Abu Bakr..

[triniweezy]

abu bakr took a piss in my bathroom in '99

[naughtygyul]

@triniweezy

who cares?

[MultiMarkus86]

he should not be out of jail

[42trini]

This is just another ignorant fool sponsored by the great USA to destabalise another non white nation and keep it from moving forward. I remember days before this started an entire us navy carrier group just happen to be right offshore for a so called "Friendly visit". Prior to this A.N.R Robinson decleared a ban on importing all fruits and other food products from the U.S. in order to promote local agriculture. See what they did to Haiti.

[Gilbarath]

@42trini Bullshit don't blame the U.S. for your country's worthless leaders who still allow this man to walk free. This ignorant fool was bred there, america does not breed muslim terrorists, please stop making yourself look like a fool wise up

[42trini]

@Gilbarath Thats right, thist fool was bred here and I too wish he was eliminated on sight. But as many of you Americans, You are all brainwashed by your government and blinded from knowing what the U.S. dose outside to keep many smaller nations at a certain stage of development to keep you and your country men content. I'm sure you were never in Trinidad a few months prior to this so called coup attempt. The best way to stay on top is to keep your neighbours down.

[peepingtom24hrs]

@42trini i heard about that for years that a US ship was offshore... no wonder where all the guns came from. I suggest evrybody look up "Tales of an Economic Hitman". You might get some clues. Peace.

[supertrini42]

Having lived through this, all I can say is that this is hard to watch. I did not watch it back in 1990. Watching it now just freshens the pain. This man really robbed us of our innocence as a people.

[MrJanlewis]

I suppose that all these comments were made by persons who were too young to know what it was like before this event so just learn....

[LoisLezama1]

abu bakr was a muthaphuckkin G

[BryanMaster]

I ain't go lie. I woulda rhel beat he cunt!!! THey woulda ha put me in prison, so ah could ah beat he cunt again!!!

[shuggadarlin]

[jazzynote]

That man at 20 look like a pantin

[CaVvyOne]

this was the beginning of the "High Crime Era" in T&T

[ezfish]

Either the pussiest defense force response ever or a complete set up, inside job to destroy/remove the PM. I've seen meaner children on the playground than those sissies.

[philly1537]

[trinidadparaminman]

i was 6 yrs old when this happen, i remember seeing plenty police cars driving up and down, not knowing what was going on!

[renetnt]

I was 10 yrs old. I can NEVER FORGET THIS TIME. Living in town, in the ghetto I saw way more than I should have. This is real history right here.

[LIVITYVIZION]

My good friend is one of the hostages in your video, you should contact him sometime.

[MsTrizfactor]
