This is a positive move by the people of August Town. We often see people protesting when criminals are being killed by the police. Big respect to the brave and good people of August Town for standing up against criminality.

Psalm 133

1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

y'all need to stop hoarding the criminals in your homes, and start reporting them to the police

All 3 million Jamaicans need to March for change. We need to have a better country. Vote out all these corrupt politicians they are the head of the crime in Jamaica 🇯🇲

[Roseforres]

This should have been done by citizens all over Jamaica. More people have been murdered by violence than those killed by covid.
If the people of Jamaica do not fight for their country and their lives, crime will only escalate resulting in more lives lost and a destroyed country.

Mental illness is a big issue . Resources and education. I am happy to see the peace makers. Guns need to be regulated. One luv🖤💚💛my heart is with my people from all over the world.

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

[Roseforres]

Parents first are to be blamed. Where are the parents of these gun men? Jamaica needs a cleansing. Only Jesus can provide that.
Many persons are more interested in party and the latest fashion more than sacrificing to raise their children with good values.

[loveablebravo]

We need back jamaican the reel love of our country??but we of to get of the corpup government

[rogeniajames]

Push out the thugs, cause you people knows them. And also when the police take strong actions ;you people take to the street, hollering for justice!!!!so questions must be asked what do you people really WANT?
