  1. More and more it is obvious why UPP hates foreigners . Especially the ones from Richard Lewis country

  2. We must rid ourselves of whatever prejudices we have and start judging each case on its.merit. We cannot continue to paint a broad brush. There are approximately 8 billion of us on the planet. Just as Jamaicans current day Jamaicans our ancestors were hauled across the Atlantic Ocean in the holes of ships and dropped here there and everywhere in the Western Hemisphere. The accused murderer and the victim could be your pumpkin vine cousin and you wouldn’t know. Pay attention my peoples.

  12. We are all different branches from the same indigenous root. And all of these bickering commentaries seem like a load of childish virtual infectious rancor: making us like the spoils of our ancestral scorn, and the wretched of the earth-devoid of any sense of utilitarian unity. He has done the crime; so let him pay the time: regardless of his birth ascendency. Why are we so brutally territorial; and tribally inconsiderate in dealing with each other, in the eyes of the world (🌎)?
