Jamaica make us look like piker

[rivers]

I happen to be looking at the Jamaica Gleaner and I came across this article http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/. I mean there is a lot of anger over there, could you imagine if we had 47 murders in 7 days here, the usual jaw bumpers would be screaming to high heavens. I guess this year they will keep under 2000.

jamacia's situation in no way changes the fact that Trinidad is in the middle of a terrible crime wave with a PNM government that does not have the political will to deal with crime & their criminal friends. There is no end in sight to the terrible violence and fear ordinary citizens of TNT are experiencing, and what's worse is that they are insulted by the re-appointment of clueless Martin Joseph as Minister of National Security.

What a mess....

rivers,

There you go again! Why do you do this to us? I looked up the meaning of "piker" and this is what I got......pik·er /?pa?k?r/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[pahy-ker] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun Informal. 1. a person who does anything in a contemptibly small or cheap way.
2. a stingy, tight-fisted person; tightwad.
3. a person who gambles, speculates, etc., in a small, cautious way.

Your link is to the Gleaner and not to any particular topic, further confusing the hell out of me. Then you mumbled something about anger, murder, bumper and heavens. I am really lost now!
