Didn’t they have some fighting last year too? or was that a few years ago?

Impossible. It’s against the law to own guns in Jamaica.

Thousands of Coke supporters took to the streets on Thursday amid police reports gangs in the area were amassing weapons A bunch of Coke heads, no doubt.

Was Coke trafficking in pot or coke?;)
To: bruinbirdman
If they raise hell over Coke, just wait till they get New Coke.

If only Jamaica shared a border with us, they could just come here.
To: bruinbirdman
Some people here wanted a drug war, and that’s what they’re getting now in Jamaica, and Mexico, and a lot of other places. I hope they’re happy.

"State of Emergency for Kingston and St. Andrew that came into effect at 6pm (2300 GMT) and will last for at least a month."
That's some serious martial law. Long enough to mobilize.

Americans, Canadians and Europeans use the drugs, that’s why we have these issues in these foreign lands. The US could try legalizing the stuff and sellling the stuff dirt cheap to destroy the demand from these ruffians but I’m not sure that wouldn’t stop the fighting.

Legalizing alcohol stopped the speakeasies from being machine-gunned by the gangsters. Considering how spiders under the influence of various substances weave webs (a popular thread for today and yesterday) I don’t see why drugs today should be any different than alcohol in the 30s.

Awww crap. Of all the countries I've been to Jamaica is my favorite. Of all the countries I've been to, and the ones I've never been to and never wanted to visit, my best friend picks this compost pile to get married in. And I bought our tickets.
Hopefully in the next 6 months, the fascist authorities will quell the local barbarians long enough for my friends to say their vows, tan me, and get the hell outta there.
If not, do the right thing.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
