Via a post to my Facebook page 2 hours ago (I was afk):

 

...The official vehicle of the Prime Ministerial candidate of the People’s Partnership and Opposition Leader, Kamla Persad Bissessar was hijacked in the vicinity of the Tunapuna Hindu School at approximately 2:30 p.m. this afternoon.. The vehicle, described as a midnight blue Prado bearing the licence plate PCJ 3 in which Mrs Persad Bissessar's niece, Lisa Harry, was travelling along with her driver was intercepted by an armed gang driving a silver Almera with the licence plate PCH 8663. The gang robbed Miss Harry and the driver before throwing them out of the vehicle...

 

Well, now that doesn't look good on the present regime. I wonder if it has anything to do with the large police presence in La Romaine I just saw, blocking the road. Probably not. Even so, it seems a bit odd to rob the official UNC vehicle.

On the flip side, a Prado is a big 'rob me' indicator, so this could be just a standard robbery instead of the political issue we'll hear oh-so-much about tomorrow.

So it's no longer gone. Speculation as to whether someone is trying to create more friction between the UNC and PNM is being discussed.

The news reported that the vehicle was found in Tunapuna.

My source was on Farcebook, so - we'll go with Tunapuna.

Kamla has said on the platform that UNC documents in the vehicle was stolen whilst other valuables wern't. That slippery slope we were going down has suddenly become a free fall.

Barring a state of emergency / martial law this should all be over in 10 days.

Erm. Well, this could all be make believe as well. I'm not saying that this is so. I'm saying that it's a possibility, as are many other things.

Patrick Manning calling a State of Emergency with Parliament dissolved? Now THAT is worrisome.
