You nuh! Clearly he believed he could beat the charge, as did most of his supporters up to about 30 minutes ago.

I always thought he did have some intent and probably got cold feet at the last minute. I really believe it was a case of entrapment though.

Man a tallk bout the great justice system in the US? Me nuh really see this case as an example of that.

[Reggaedoc]

?. The lower price in Ja makes commiting crimes cheaper, hence more crimes, hence more victims, hence more corruption hence more ............... You can add the rest. Everything is cheaper in Jamaica; body bags, funeral homes, cemetary fees, mad house admission fees, support for fatherless children,......... You can add the rest.

[Assasin]

As so we tan. If Buju got way the same ones who would rejoice, now he is found guilty them a go find ever info fi say him a drug dealer from when and dis and dat.

We defend the Don when them beat the law and when them found guilty them a the worst thing that ever happen, make you wonder if a the same person.

[Reggaedoc]

I thought he had a trial, was duely represented by counsel, and the verdict was based on the weight of the evidence. Isn't that enough to justify rejoicing in ones innocence and equally justified in criticizing one for his guilt in the commission of a crime?. Assuming, of course, that one believes in obeying the law, and the vetues of a fair trial. Come on man, your argument is moot, at best. Sorry bredren, frame you argument likle betta dan dat.

A sad day for Buju and Jamaica...but a teachable moment for the youth.... fly straight and be careful of your company

God mercy & strength pon Gargamel

[Lucky4life]

well we can say that now!

lol

He should have accepted the plea bargain last September, and he would serve just another year in prison.

Hmm, If he is not a US citizen then that would wreck right to perform in the US. He did the right thing by contesting the charges. I thought that he had a good chance to beat the charges because he never knew that he was going to a drug deal.

A real legal system??? Give me a break! A country where most of the men in prison are blacks. Where convicted rapists, murders are afterwards found to be innocent???

Check this:

While many claim that the long tradition of racism in the united states ended with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, the legacies of slavery and segregation continue to affect u.s. society on all levels. Today, African-Americans are disproportionately imprisoned by racist drug laws, denied access to the economic and educational benefits enjoyed by Anglo-Americans, and robbed of their civil rights and human dignity by a pervasive white supremacy that lurks just beneath the surface of our so-called democracy. This country’s criminal justice system has not escaped the influence of, and is frequently the direct tool for, this racism.

Our criminal

injustice system creates a situation in which African-American men have greater than a 1 in 4 chance of going to prison

(compared to 1 in 23 for a white man)

1 and in which the violence and horror of lynching have been transformed and institutionalized into a new form: the racist death penalty.

1 Lifetime Likelihood of Going to State or Federal Prison. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1997.

African-Americans represent

:

• 12.7%

of the US population

• 15%

of US drug users

(72% of all users are white)

• 36.8%

of those arrested for a

drug abuse violation

• 48.2%

of American adults in State

or Federal prisons and local jails

• 42.5%

of prisoners under
sentence of death

[Muadib]

Most of the men in American prisons are not black or are black ?

% pop.

[Reggaedoc]

So Exile, tell me something, how many Chinese, Lebanese, Jews, Portuguese, St. Elizabeth whites in the prisons of Jamaica?.

Your argument is a well rehearsed and had been rather attractive one for the last 40 years. If only for its simplicity. For the sake of more nuanced 21st century discussions, it should be considered an excuse rather than an explanation. Most intelligent people have abandoned that nonsense nowadays, even the criminals of African extraction themselves.

true dat...
