THE St Andrew South Police yesterday removed vendors who sell in front of schools in the Duhaney Park area of Kingston, after confiscating badges depicting violent images.
The badges, which were sold for between $50 and $100, were taken from vendors who sell at the gates of the Edith Dalton James High, Pembroke Hall High and Duhaney Park Primary schools, as part of the constabulary's fight against violence in schools.
These badges depicting violence were among several taken from vendors by the police in front of three schools in Kingston yesterday. (Photos: Michael Gordon)

[Shola]

You do realize that these are doctored pictures of very popular movies, so should we ban movies with violence too?

YES!!!

[Hortical]

This is really disgusting and Shola those are not images from a movie. Posters from a movie would fall under a different context in the scheme of things.

Vybz used to go to Calabar? ... Regardless, the old boys and current right thinking students, staff and admin must be cringing that they've (creators of the badges) have chose to use C-Bar on one of the posters.

And this artificial crisis that many have taken on as real demonstrates just how shallow the lives of many of our people are... and don't feel it's restricted to JA; many Trinis have jumped on this Gaza/Gully bandwagon which really is a ride to nowhere.

From a marketing perspective it creates the interest that these artistes crave, and it's working; but selling your soul for dollars... pocket full, but morally bankrupt!

[Mosiah]

surely calabar has a lot more to be proud of. they don't need vybz kartel.

Too much attention would be focused on them and that would nullify the spirit of the action in the first place.

The better thing to do is focus the attention of the kids to the children who are doing something positive and uplifting. Honor and exalt those kids and focus the attention on them.

Part of the reason why we still attract the things that we don't want in our life is that we think on those things as opposed to what we want so that we activate the law of attraction and so the bad things continue.

we have to realise where they tricked us and so reprogram our minds to the right way

A the church flipped it pon we so we have to sit and learn how fi flip wi mind back to where we exalt the postive and do as the bible says

whatever things are pure
whatever things are just
whatever things are true
whatever things are honest
if there be any virtue and good repute think on these things.

thats the secret we have to focus on what we want
that is why when it comes to our children unless you are prepared by god you shouldn't be dealing with them as you will be coming from a position of selfishness and poor character and so our children will adopt the ways they observe as "children live what they learn"

Kartel and Movado are products of a society set on its head, we have to go back to the kids to save the next generation and focus on what we can do positive and let the results speak for itself

build it and they will come

Dah early morning meditation deh pon another level, all praises due to the medical dispenary and the farmer. Look how the US a punk Jamaica while they have legalized marijuana in their country. Maybe if our politicians were smoking the herb instead of poisoning their body with all sort of foul food, preservatives and liquor they would spot the hustle like the little rastaman

[Yuttie]

[Mosiah]

Funny! Because you are not right now!

In any case, I am not condemning the entire dancehall genre, as I believe you are.

[Mosiah]

i saw the ring but i didn't know those were his hands.

empty statement, that press release.
