Its a wake up call. For everyone. For those of you who live on island, this is your home and you must stand up and speak up and tell the powers that be - ENOUGH! For those of us who visit...those letters are powerful. A unified cry to stop the madness MIGHT make a difference.
LeeAnne, with all due respect, expats do not need to worry much about police shooting them down in Jamaica. Sadly, this is the truth. But it certainly doesn't make it RIGHT. Mickey is one of a long list of innocents shot and killed by police in Jamaica. These banditos claiming to be "police" shot the WRONG guy this time and its about to rain crap all over them. I haven't seen Negril mobilized like this in many, many, MANY years.
Here at home I'm surprised, no SHOCKED that there is not more of an outcry in our very own homegrown police shooting in Oakland last New Years Day. Oscar Grant's murderer, an Oakland cop, received a TWO YEAR sentence. His excuse? He's an idiot. He admitted so in open court.
Stop the madness!!! Justice for Mickey Hill and all the others that suffer from governmental oppression!
