ANOTHER incident involving a flag at a public event has sparked anger.
This time, it was at the Jamaican premiere of Marley, the new documentary on the life of reggae icon Bob Marley, at Emancipation Park in St Andrew on Thursday.

Decorator Jacqui Tyson told the Jamaica Observer that she later added a strip of purple to the 'carpet'. But the Rastas were still not satisfied, saying that it resembled a rainbow, which is commonly associated with the gay movement

I wonder if these clowns would be as livid if it was the Jamaican flag that was trampled upon. No wonder why Ethiopians still wonder, in amazement, about the sanity of rastas.
