CHRISTOPHER 'Dudus' Coke's influence on West Kingston was put on show yesterday as hundreds of mostly women from Tivoli Gardens and Denham Town poured into the streets to show support for the man wanted by the US Government, and to vent their anger at a police claim that Tivoli Gardens residents were being held hostage by thugs.
In what appeared to be a highly organised but peaceful protest the demonstrators, the majority of them dressed in white, told the authorities to "leave 'Dudus' alone" with some boldly declaring that they were prepared to die for him.

A senior cop tries to calm the protesting residents.
A group of residents yesterday staged a protest along Spanish Town Road -- in the vicinity of Tivoli Gardens in the Kingston Western police division -- against the pending transfer of senior superintendent of police in charge of the area, Steve McGregor, to St James in western Jamaica.
The placard-bearing residents claimed that Mcgregor, who took over leadership of the division in September 2013 after being transferred from Kingston Central, should be credited for restoring some semblance of peace in the war-torn communities that make up the division.
"We want McGregor! A him set the trend and a bring back the peace inna West Kingston!" one woman shouted, as she and other protesters stood at a blocked section of Spanish Town Road near the popular Coronation market.
