Journalists forced to leave JLP meeting last night

[Sickko]

You could be right..given the low intellect of the electorate they are easily fooled

Heh..heh...truth is I had no idea...

Ben, the social fabric of the society is more than a political responsibility. While governments and political leaders should set the pace or lead by example, there are many other exemplars in the society that fall short and these include our business leaders, church leaders, police, civil servants, teachers etc. There are just too many instances of wanton institutionalized curruption at all levels. How do you get rid of weeds when you need wholesale crop spraying? Jamaica needs more than Bruce and Portia right now, it needs to be sterilized.

   I was at the meeting last night in Montego Bay. I was standing right behind stand where the camara men from CVM Water was thrown up and it caught the camara and the camara men it was not deliberate as far as I saw.No food was thrown.Desmond Mc kenzie addressed the issue the moment it happen,and knowing Desmond he turned it in a joke, he offered to take out is strap and beat that labourite .It was not a malicious act.

So, what yuh saying, Willi? There was no misbehaviour from the JLP supporters towards the journalists yesterday? It was all blown out of proportion?!

[Willi]

Not saying any such thing.

I was not there. Found this on another site and posted it as perhaps some readers may find it interesting.

Anything is possible though, as the shoot up of the JLP supporters motorcade a few weeks back is now said to have been exaggerated.

Both sides are capable of nearly anything on the road.

[Willi]

Perhaps it was just....

YOUTHFUL exuberance!

Hahahahahahahaha

[Mosiah]

That shooting of the JLP motorcade never took place. The reports sounded fishy from the first time I heard it.

Yes, we know they are both capable of anything under the sun.
