Not an easy road, Buju held for cocaine possession in the United States
GRAMMY-NOMINATED deejay Buju Banton is being held in the Federal Detention Centre, Miami, Florida, in the United States following his arrest last Thursday on drug-related charges, a Miami Police Department spokesman confirmed yesterday.
DAMN – talk about Dread..
It dread Fo-Sho if this is anykinda way true.
Buju was hanging by a thin thread since this falls’ concert tour situation appeared to be anything but Irie. Now This, Wowww..
Buju Banton – Destiny
The Days of cocaine and rastafarians supposedly ended with the death of Dennis Brown. but here again we see it playing out. maybe Brotha Buju needs to spend some time reflecting on the way the set up goes down. however it plays out – the press is enough to cancel the rest of his tour in the US; and drain off his fundage.
We send him prayers and meditations of peace to help heal his pain. we can’t judge because we dont’ know. it’s just unfortunante for the man that he has to consistently be plagued by hard luck on every turn. during our last quick conversation with Buju he seemed stressed and tired of the scrutiny. we can understand that totally.
Buju, We’re Praying for the Father to Hear You and Defend You at Every turn Rasta. Livicate and Idicate to The Highest Levels My Bredren. That is where you are accepted and seen for your heart and it’s truest intentions. do not allow the negative atmosphere to draw you in or manipulate you. this is your blessing of reflection.

Miami, FL – A drug gang war that started in Kingston, Jamaica early in 1992 may have recently spilled over into the streets and bars of Miami. Reportedly, an early Saturday morning nightclub shooting of twenty-two (22) people involved members of the Jamaican “Shower Posse”. Gang Crimes officers of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office say that the nightclub killings may have been retribution for the February killing of Mark Coke, a leader of the Jamaican “Shower Posse” drug gang. The “Shower Posse” supposedly gets it’s name from the “shower” of lead it shoots at rival gangs.
An agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobbaco, and Firearms says that Saturday’s shootings “had all the earmarks” of a Jamaican “Posse” hit. Special Agent Joe Vince was quoted by the United Press International as saying, “the posses are the most vicious organized crime group in the United States today”. Capt. Al Lambeti of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said that the shooting was a “…perfect textbook example of how the posse does business”.
The Jamaican’s typical method of operations (M.O.) reportedly includes multiple shots with multiple weapons, in a crowded public place. The Jamaicans are known for their frequent use of 9mm large magazine semiautomatic handguns and sub-machineguns. Their favorite weapons include the Uzi, Mac-10, Mac-11, Intra-tec, MP-5, Browning Hi-Power, Berreta F-92, Smith & Wesson 9mm pistols, Glock 9mm, and Colt .45 semiautos. Most of the weapons they prefer are not the so- called “Saturday Night Specials” of the gangs of yesteryear; the weapons that they choose are expensive and efficient “weapons of war”, commonly used by worldwide military forces.

The Legal Arm (JLP) of the world’s most notorious gang THE SHOWER POSSE of jamaica, paid homage to recently expired President Ronald Reagan in statements released this past Monday.
The JLP known as the JAMAICA LABOUR PARTY was led to prominence in the 1980 election by Edward Seaga , a close friend and ally of Ronald Reagan , and aided Reagan in his attempts to rid the island of Marijuana production and Socialist platforms led by the opposing PNP party (People’s Nationalist Party).
But it was the SHOWER POSSE whom provided the “muscle” in the form of numerous glocks and uzi’s which were used to spray (shower) their enemies on the streets of Kingston , Jamaica.
Seen as an invention of the C.I.A , according to those within and outiside the gang, by 1990 they had imported thier special brand of violence across seas to american cities such as Miami and New York, and help transport not only weaponry but tons of Cocaine as well, via thier Columbian contacts.
