SECURITY forces have distributed photographs of what they say are explosive devices found in Tivoli Gardens following their assault on the community, which began Sunday.
So far 73 people have been confirmed dead in the operation with residents accusing security forces of atrocities, including the use of 'bombs'. The media was allowed limited access inside the community, insufficient to corroborate such claims.

"The explosives have been disabled by Jamaica Defence Force’s Engineer Regiment and secured as evidence of the atrocities created against members of the security forces," said a statement from police today.

"Atrocities" is a word being bounced around a lot these days. Guess the police letting the residents know that they don't have exclusive rights over the word.

So these 21 guns include the 4 rifles and 2 handguns found or is it 21 additional guns?

But given that they found 7,000 or 8,000 rounds of ammunition the number of guns found must rise as that many rounds could feed at least 150 guns.

[Muadib]

I am sure you have a point somewhere in there.. or at least think that you do..

[ReggaeMike]

And I'm sure now that you have comprehension problem which prevents you from discerning things such as sarcasm. Baddaz was being sarcastic and so was I. Keep looking for a point all you want, but sometimes sarcasm doesn't have one.

[Muadib]

Pointless sarcasm...

Gotcha...

[ReggaeMike]

Exactly. Because sometimes people are just damn idle.
