I NEVER fail, i'm just SUCCESSFUL in finding out what doesn't work Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
each person responsible fi dem own destiny... if dem kill in the name of any musical affiliation then that's on them not the artistes. A time ppl stop blame a person's choice on others.
It wasn't over Gaza or Gully it was over a cell phone battery

Grief counsellors and officials from the Ministry of Education were yesterday kept busy comforting students and teachers at Dunoon Park Technical High School in Kingston, after 16-year-old Shevon Johnson was stabbed and killed by a classmate.
According to the Constabulary Communication Network, about 9:45 a.m. yesterday, Johnson and his 16-year-old classmate were involved in a dispute over a cellphone battery when a knife was used to stab Johnson twice. The police said he died at the school.
The attacker attempted to escape, but was held by a policeman, in his role as school resource officer. The student is now in custody.
Principal Geraldine Arthurs said while she did not know Johnson personally, his teachers described him as "a good student, calm and willing to work". She noted that he was getting good grades in school.
Arthurs said the school community was in a state of shock and students and teachers grieved openly.
Saddened by incident
In addition to counsellors from the Ministry of Education, Arthurs said representatives from the Dispute Resolution Foundation and the Ministry of National Security also had counselling sessions with students and staff.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education said it was saddened by yesterday's fatal stabbing.
The ministry, in a release, said the incident underscores the importance of the zero-tolerance approach to violent behaviour in schools. This position, the ministry said, is clearly outlined in the Safety and Security guidelines which have been distributed to schools.
In condemning the incident, Education Minister Andrew Holness said "security and safety must become a way of thinking in schools" and that he was encouraging schools to comply with the standards set out in the policy.
Miranda Sutherland, president of the National Parent-Teacher Association of Jamaica, urged students and teachers to remain calm.
"It's just a reaction of what is going on on the ground and, as we come together to address the issue, we have to call on God," Sutherland told The Gleaner.
