Jamaica - Shotta Part 2




Damn! According to Telegraph.co.uk:


At least 30 people have now been killed during running battles between troops and heavily armed gangsters on the streets of Jamaica.

As the death toll rose in street battles between security forces and supporters of Christopher “Dudus” Coke, the Foreign Office “strongly advised” British citizens to avoid all non-essential travel in the area.

America and other European countries have also heightened warnings to their citizens over the danger in and around Kingston.

Violence has spread to other parts of the island and police have detained 211 people in their hunt for Coke, who is being protected by his supporters.

More than 1,000 police and soldiers launched an assault on Coke’s stronghold and the government has declared a state of emergency.

On the third consecutive day of violence, one of the main hospitals in Kingston had to be closed after armed gangs attacked police outside the building.
