If you agreed that this sentence was unreasonable in these circumstances then you have already agreed with the lawyers who are protesting
Ewayne Pryce, a Kingston music producer, who told investigators that imitation firearms found at his home were being used as props in music videos, has been sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment and life behind bars. Read more: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/… #GLNRToday

Assuming what you're saying is true...which part of the world bigger, Jamaica or Europe?
Big up the legend Shaggy but the real truth is that majority of Jamaicans not listening to 10 Shaggy songs daily. His appeal is mostly for European white folks

Defence attorneys have been placed on alert to pull their services from the island’s courts for an entire week, starting next Monday, a move that will deal a significant blow to the Michaelmas term which began just over a week ago. The lawyers arrived at the decision after a meeting on Thursday with Justice Minister Delroy Chuck which they say failed to produce any meaningful plans to reform the 2022 Firearms Act. jamaicaobserver.com/2026/09/…

TIME’s new cover: Dolly Parton, the beloved country-music superstar, died in Nashville at 80. Known for writing about the lives of working-class people in more than 3,000 recorded songs and later giving away nearly 300 million books to children around the world, Parton’s life was a true Cinderella story. time.com/article/2026/08/25/…

An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.

Sick to my BONES of both political parties pointing at each other when something like this happens. We deserve better, pls do better! @jlpjamaica @JamaicaPNP
The PNP lies attempting to link the current administration to the dispute between a private developer & residents over privately-owned land is because the PNP is aware that when they were in power their administration bulldozed homes of squatters who were on Gov't owned land.

The people who did not bat an eye when the government asserted the authority to detain a citizens for 461 days without charge are some of the same people who think its outrageous for the government to appropriate idle land so that families don't have their homes demolished around them in the dead of night.

Ppl fearing retribution against their child if they "complain". Ppl fearing retribution against their family member in hospital if they "complain". Ppl fearing retribution against their family member in a correctional facility if they "complain". Pattern? Institutions & power...
Replying to @suezeecue
This happens in more schools than anyone would ever believe. Parents, especially at the HS level are afraid of retribution, especially the one that takes the form of incomplete or incorrect transcripts as the child seeks to move onwards to tertiary.

PM hit the nail on the head with body-worn cameras jamaicaobserver.com/2026/05/… The policy of the Government is to fully deploy camera systems for the police force. Just to be clear, there have been some discussions that seem to suggest that the Government doesn’t intend that...

Lawsuits flying left right and center on the app. Whenever a Lawyer writes to you in his or her capacity please do not come on a public platform calling the Lawyer a “quashie lawyer” in retort. The Lawyer can sue you and win . Be guided.

A constituent called at this late hour telling me he is out in the street waiting for me to come walk in the community. No joke.

The system is not just broken, it has been captured. The pipeline is built to pull scarce resources from the roots of society to feed the rot at the top. We don’t need more idols. We need modern day heroes who will, with courage, serve the public good.
