JLP Lead Protest
Today is September 06, 2005, its now 9:00am and all Jamaica is in confusion.
Should I venture out or not? This is the question on most people’s minds. There are reports of several roadblocks mounted throughout the island. There are also reports of gunfire in parts of the corporate area.
Most schools have closed for today. Unfortunately some children left their homes very early and are now stranded. The Jamaica Urban Transit Cooperation (JUTC) has withdrawn its buses for fear of the safety of the staff and passengers and destruction of the vehicles.
I left my home at 7:45am and saw no evidence of any disturbances. However many of my coworkers have called to say they cannot get to work because of roadblocks. I have also seen no evidence of demonstrators. Although it has been reported that small gatherings are beginning to form throughout the island.
Those of us at work are very conscious of what might be happening around us and are fearful of any escalating violence. Its still early in the day and any card can play.
Tune in later and I’ll keep you up to date.
Nuff Love.
