If he can act like that because someone asked him to turn off his truck what if someone had accidentally hit his truck or maybe bump him in a phagwah and spill his drink?

Speaking to members of the media yesterday following the National Youth Productivity Forum hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), at Hyatt Regency Hotel, Port of Spain, Gopeesingh said his son was still in the country and he did not want to say anything to jeopardise the investigations.
"Right now Shane is at home. He is possibly at work today," Gopeesingh said.

Asked if he would be taking his son to the police station for questioning, Gopeesingh said: "As you realise this is an ongoing police investigation that demands the fullest independence and the respect and I wish to honour that independence and as such I would want to reiterate my statement from yesterday (Wednesday) that it will not be fair for me to comment and leave the matter."

Asked if his son was co-operating with the police and about the presumption that his son would escape the law because of his father's status, Gopeesingh said he would leave all those comments for his son's attorney.

"Please allow me not to make any more comments on the matter...I think I have said enough on the matter, I think I've said what needed to be said on the matter. I will allow the independence of the investigation to continue without me interfering whatsoever and me making any statements whatsoever."

'Planass' victim calls for arrest

WHY has he not been arrested?
This is the question being asked by the man who was allegedly beaten by the son of Education Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh last week Wednesday morning while eating doubles outside Brooklyn Bar in Woodbrook.
In a telephone interview with the Express yesterday, Gregory Wight expressed his frustration at the pace of the police investigation.

"I would like to see the perpetrator of this heinous act arrested right away. How can he not be arrested after all this time? What is going on? You have every piece of evidence...the doubles man has given his statement, the owner of the bar has handed over the tape. They have every official reason to arrest this man," Wight said.

The video clip of the incident has been posted on Facebook, YouTube and other social networking sites.
Wight, 56, chief executive officer of Stuart Brothers, an export company located in Cocorite, said had he been the attacker he would have been jailed, so why can't the reverse take place.

"If I had committed that act, before lunch time I would have been arrested. Why is he being given all this special treatment? This was the most heinous act of aggression and violence and wounding and he has not been arrested eight days later. It is a national disgrace," he said.

Wight said following the attack his life has been turned upside down and he now only sleeps for an hour a day.
"I am generally a quiet person...my cell phone, I mean it has been about 400 people who have reached out to me so far, which is wonderful but it is just too much... I don't have a press agent you know. I spend 80 per cent of my time on this now," said Wight, a regular writer to the Express' Letters to the Editor section for the past 36 years.

Wight, despite his anger, said he truly feels for the accused.
"I feel very sorry for him; something traumatic must have happened in his life to cause him to fly off the handle like that when somebody asked him to turn off his engine for a while to eat doubles. I really feel sorry for him."

Wight said at the end of the school term he would like to have an anti-violence march for five days straight in hotspots of the country to spread the word of non-violence.

Police sources close to the investigation said they visited the home of the accused yesterday, but he was not there.

Officers said they will not make an arrest since there have not been any orders from their superiors to do so.

If not, then they will have to rope in the doubles man as a witness or something for evidence...

Just Cool you for real hoss?

What extenuating circumstances could justify a young able bodied 28 year old man to have to draw for a cutlass for a old man?

Ok so he trip off under talk, so he can't deal with the issue man to man? Running back to the car for a blade is coward lil boy business in my opinion.

furthermore, if yuh buying a doubles and yuh have to take a minute of fumes, it really warrant all the talk??? is it worth endangering yuh life for a minute of fumes?? and mr wight have no right to put down the youth to begin with, which again can put mr wights life in danger, not worth it.

Tuesday, October 2, 2012

Thirteen days after he allegedly “planassed” a businessman in Woodbrook, Shane Gopeesingh has surrendered to police. Gopeesingh, 28, of Ellerslie Park, Maraval, reportedly walked into the Central Police Station, Port-of-Spain, yesterday morning, accompanied by his attorney Ravi Rajcoomar. Gopeesingh, son of Education Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh, was interviewed but was not placed in a holding cell. Up to 5.30 pm yesterday, senior police said “loose ends were still being tied up.”

Gopeesingh remained in police custody last night. ASP Ajith Persad of the Port-of-Spain Criminal Investigations Department was appointed as the lead investigator last Thursday. Gregory Wight, 56, of Diego Martin, was allegedly “planassed” by Shane Gopeesingh on September 18 outside Brooklyn Bar, Woodbrook. The incident was captured by a private security camera and later posted on YouTube.

If this was a white man lashing a black youth the uproar would be heard around the whole caribbean. no justifying this nonsense by age, race, skin colour, class, good hair, whatever.

and as for all the self-preservationists who saying he should have kept his mouth shut...at what point do we say enough is enough? i know a thing or two about violence. bowing your head like a dog only makes it worse. keeping YOUR mouth shut today might one day lead to catastrophe for a loved one tomorrow. there is a time to catch flies with honey, and a time to time to bring hellfire.

Trinidad is past due for a generational purge of these reprobate values from Westmoorings right thru to Laventille.

Minister’s son in planass video slapped with four charges
Published: Wednesday, October 3, 2012
ANNA-LISA PAUL

A day after he surrendered to police, a son of Education Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh appeared in court yesterday charged with using obscene language, assaulting Gregory Wight, occasioning him actual bodily harm, and possession of a weapon with intent to commit an offence. Pleading not guilty to the charges, Shane Aleong, 28, of Ellerslie Park, Maraval, was granted $25,000 bail to be approved by a clerk of the peace.

After several requests from Aleong’s lawyers, Ravi Rajcoomar and John Heath, instructed by Nalini Bansie, a cash alternative of $10,000 was also granted. Aleong, also known as Shane Gopeesingh, an information technology consultant, appeared before Senior Magistrate Annette McKenzie in the Port-of-Spain Fourth Court just after 3 pm yesterday. Clad in a black suit, Aleong remained expressionless as the charges were read to him.

The court heard that on September 19 at Carlos Street, Woodbrook, Aleong allegedly used obscene language, assaulted Gregory Wight causing him harm, and used a cutlass with intent to wound. He was brought to the court in a marked police vehicle around 2.45 pm, escorted by two officers. In his application for bail, Rajcoomar told the court that a letter had been sent to the police a week ago after the defence learnt that Aleong was “a person of interest.”

He said Aleong had surrendered to investigators on Monday morning at the Central Police Station and had co-operated with police. Claiming that Aleong had become the target of a media campaign, Rajcoomar said he was from a well-known family and that his father was a government minister. Last week, the Education Minister admitted that Aleong was his son.

Heath and Rajcoomar appealed for the clerk of the peace approval to be varied, claiming that because of time constraints and the fact that an official might not have been available yesterday afternoon, Aleong might have had to spend last night in prison. Rejecting claims that Aleong had been brought to court late, McKenzie asked: “Why is he any different from any other defendant?”

Mc Kenzie pointed out that there was a procedure to be followed in complying with the bail conditions, but agreed to impose a cash alternative. The matter was later adjourned to October 9. The charges were laid by Sgt Christopher Joshua. Aleong's appearance in court yesterday resulted from a week-long investigation led by ASP Ajith Persad of the Port-of-Spain CID.
