Viewers approve of shutdown

A business shutdown is being planned for Thursday. Too many lives have been lost, residents are clamouring for urgent and drastic measures to bring order and to put an end to the lawlessness on the streets. Belizeans for Justice is calling on the business community to join the fight against crime by closing shop.  It’s a difficult economic time but most businesses are feeling the brunt of the violence. On Tuesday night we asked viewers if they supported the proposal to close down businesses to signal that more needs to be done to bring security to the streets. In our poll, most people said they are in favour of the shutdown. One viewer said: Belizeans please come together and end this violence. As a people we have a strong voice and united we can force the changes we want. For more, go to our website at channel5belize.com.

    AS OF SEPTEMBER 21ST 2010………. We no longer use the word “country” when the word “nation” can be used instead.

    Call Belize any darn thing you want from here on people.
    It should be called exactly what it is, a country. Because there is not a tightly-knit group of people which share a common culture, wake the hell up.
    The people need a miracle for a nation.

    NOTE: people are killing each other like flies.

    Shutdown would’ve been more effective on the 21st. Cancel celebrations on the 21st. No parades.
