News about the bad stuff in Jamaica

[ECO]

Not sure if anyone is following what is happening in Jamaica. The "coke" dude I mentioned a few months ago has an arrest warrant out on him because the US wants his ass to stand trial. His community is protecting him.....and bad stuff has been happening for the past day

90% of the news about the event is false so PLEASE wait a few hours to confirm reports before jumping to any conclusions.

This http://www.facebook.com/onthegroundnews seems to be a quick way to get a look at what is happening.

From CNN

Kingston, Jamaica (CNN) -- Violence in Jamaica surrounding the planned extradition to the U.S. of a suspected drug kingpin continued Monday, with shots fired at police officers as they sought to clear roads in Kingston, police said.

Residents have blocked roads, primarily in West Kingston, to restrict access to police and military.

The violence then spread about 20 minutes outside the capital to Spanish Town, where armed thugs blocked a major road and a bridge that serves as a link between Montego Bay and Kingston, police said.

My concern are for the innocent Citizens who are caught up in this Dudus mess. The community of Tivoli is treating this guy as if he's the second coming. I don't know what to believe, because everybody I spoke to at home tells a different story.I'll just wait and see how it played out.

[Wahoo]

On the other hand, if you like a lot of bang for your buck, this might be the best time to visit Kingston!

Lol, with all of the people canceling their trips I should escape the heat wave (95 here today) and head to JA for some low rates.....away from Kingston!

Some jackass fire bombed a police station in Mobay...not good at all

It was only a threat.

This stuff is getting bad in JA.
Twitter all over it, everyone posting the saddest pictures.

BUT Dudus turned up in NYC and turned himself in!
