Attention Rum Bar Ites:
Most ah unnu claim to be opposed to the criminality that has wrecked Jamaica for decades. Yet, unnu allow open advocacy of said criminality in the Bar....WITHOUT A WORD OF CRITICISM.
We can speculate about the reasons some have for this tacit support of criminality (by remaining silent)... To wit:
Political allegiance to the JLP
Personal relations with the criminal advocate(s)
Fear
But whatever the reason is...it's craven & hypocritical. Unnu know unnuself....an unnu hypocrisy affi get bun out same way. Wi nuh wrap up wid criminal advocates...nor dem silent JLPNP supporters. Memba mi tole unnu dat 
Tivoli Was Armed For War

ARMED WITH never-before-seen video footage and photographs, retired Police Commissioner Owen Ellington yesterday recounted how thugs carrying high-powered weapons, night-vision goggles and clad in ballistics vests similar to those used by the police took over the west Kingston community of Tivoli Gardens in the days leading up to the 2010 police-military operations.
Ellington, who was giving evidence before the West Kingston Commission of Enquiry, recalled how thugs sympathetic to drug kingpin Christopher 'Dudus' Coke barricaded the community with "booby traps" designed to cause mass killings, and used sand bags to fortify positions from where they could fire at members of the security forces.
In addition, the retired police chief revealed that AK-47 rifles and a number of 50-calibre rifles capable of taking down aircraft and buildings were among the arsenal of weapons available to the hundreds of thugs who had gathered in Tivoli Gardens to "violently repel" the efforts of the security forces to apprehend Coke.
