Tivoli had RPGs for Air Defense?

[Time]

He said the JDF helicopter stayed away from the community because intelligence was that the criminals would shoot the RPG at them.

Interesting to hear that Dudus had improved his Air Defense against the JDF by deploying RPGs. Maybe that is why they send or the spy plane?

Were any/all of these RPGs recovered? If not does that mean they are still out there in he hands of criminals?

[Rockman]

Apparently,the JDF was only concerned about their nice nice helicopters,the soldiers had to fend for themselves without air assistance .
Maybe they knew those weapons would have been pointed to the buildings as opposed to the advancing security forces in a bid to frame the JDF.
At some point,the helicopter was permitted to engage..

Is Jamaica wi talking bout?

[Rockman]

Not really,the incursion and its aftermath are unprecedented,a hint of secession.It certainly appears we are talking about the district of TG.

Long before this incident a Rear Admiral Lewin said that Tivoli was the 'mother of all garrisons and had shot up a helicopter. JDF does not have experience in combat search and rescue of downed pilots. Therefore they chose wisely to stay clear of Tivoli.

The Republic if Tivoli! Him was di really Prezzy!

Anyway back to my irrelevant question

[Rockman]

None was recovered,none was used against the small army that ran amok,akin to the search for weapons of mass destruction ..
He would have been fine had he not try to suggest that the whistling sounds described by the residents likely came from gunmen..(now he implicitly placed it there,where is the actual evidence?),he would have been perfectly fine saying they acted on a rumour.

If TG felt disenfranchised prior to the incursion ,this sham of an enquiry will leave the rest of Jamaica feeling the same way too(ie,TG is disenfranchised).
I suspect we are about to witness one of the BIGGEST blunder in our history.

[Gamma]

That is some statement considering the level of some of the blunders that have been committed

[Rockman]

Time,the helicopters were there,they are trying to distant themselves from carrying out a military style raid at home.Bullet holes riddled rooftops of some of the buildings,and I would not be surprised if some of those bullet holes in the building projection confirms..)if the roof is within range then the helicopter is within range if the RPG's.
Forget about TG,based on history,is the JDF lying?
The police brought the youths from south to Greenbay by promising them jobs,up,on arriving..,they handed them over to the soldiers..
What was the official story for that one?

[Rockman]

Indeed,but this was Gaza-like..

Question Rockman, do you believe that heavily armed gunmen had migrated to Tivoli to protect Dudus?

[Rockman]

Men migrated to TG in a bid to fight for Dudus,most gained access to weapons there.Those people have various reasons for making that decision,one thing for sure is they were more likely to abandon their "duties" when it became obvious they would die.That is where the question of dying in battle or just plain murders comes into play.
Suh yes teacher,the answer to your true question is those migrant mercenaries are likely reflected in the body tallies,but we still have to deal with if those killings were justified ones.Besides,the testimonies alleging bona fide resident youths being forcefully snatched out of their dwelling quarters and executed show the security forces were indiscriminate..,they definitely were not overly interested in getting proof of address.
