    The irony about this gay debate

    "To actually stop profiting from the song and to disavow sentiment that it is appropriate to express ones opinion about gay people by using an AK47," Ms Smith said Thursday evening on RJR's daily current affairs discussion programme Beyond the Headlines.


    It would be good to see Jamaicans stand up against violent songs the way how the gay people them a stand up against violent songs about killing gays.

    (10-16) 12:58 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A self-styled gangsta rapper who wrote lyrics about shooting people in the head was convicted of second-degree murder Friday in a slaying last year in San Francisco's Western Addition.

    Ronnie "Ron Ruger" Louvier, 24, of San Leandro, shook his head as the jury found him guilty of the murder and of a separate weapons allegation stemming from the March 20, 2008, killing of 17-year-old Marquise Washington.
    Louvier faces a minimum term of 40 years to life in state prison when Superior Court Judge Donald Mitchell sentences him. No date has been sent.
    Prosecutors argued that Louvier was a member of the 800 Block gang. He grew up in the Western Addition, they said, and drove around his old neighborhood before finding Washington on the 800 block of Turk Street and shooting him in the head. Washington was a member of a rival gang, they said.
    Prosecutors noted that Louvier had written a rap song called "Murder S-," describing gunshots to the head and bloody clashes on the streets of San Francisco. They called it evidence of his gang membership and penchant for violence.
    In "Murder S-," the singer describes using a Glock 9mm semiautomatic handgun at "close range" to shoot a victim, leaving him toe-tagged in the morgue and his "soul floating by a billboard."
    To tie Louvier to Washington's killing, prosecutors presented evidence showing that the defendant had gunshot residue on his hands, hid the murder weapon - a Glock 9mm - in a secret compartment of his car and kept a box next to his bed filled with the same type of ammunition used in the shooting.
    Louvier also was seen wiping his car clean after the killing, testimony showed.
    Louvier, testifying in his own defense, said he had loaned his car to a friend that night and had taken BART to his aunt's house in San Leandro. He said he had spent the evening there watching television, playing video games and writing rap lyrics.
    He could not explain the gunshot residue, the gun found in his car with his DNA on it, or the ammunition next to his bed.
    Jurors interviewed after the verdict said they didn't believe Louvier's story. They were divided, however, on whether the killing was first- or second-degree murder and said they had rejected prosecutors' assertion that the killing was gang-motivated.
    "We couldn't decide on motive," said juror Jennifer Allen.
    She said "no one thought" Louvier's story about loaning his car to the actual killer held water.
    "There were just too many holes" in Louvier's testimony, Allen said, "so many lies."

      How about just standing up against just plain (if such a thing exists) violence?

        The Irony is after how much years of disinformation and attack the agenda has gotten nowhere, the biggest mistake they made was using Jamaica as their launch pad for the international agenda...wrong culture fi F &*( wid.

        Look buju siddown wid babylon inna babaylon and tell dem fi go ............dem mada.

        The next move by the agenda will be to provoke or incite violence and spin it that they are being attacked ,they are desperate .

        I said this awhile back , reggae is comfortable with its niche market every year it becomes more main stream.I went to a concert this summer (Irie Jam ) and the verbal bunning of gays was impressive , yes in NYC !

        The agenda will be defeated by its own sword .That will be the irony.

        "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
