This music that is so harmless is causing so much bloodshed. The positive singers are being intimidated by the trash-talkers.

These are the same guys that sing and deejay about guns. For too long they encourage Jamaican youths to behave like wild animals, Now that the guns are turning the other way, I hope they will see and feel what the Victims feel. No one deserve to get shot and its round about time we introduce the death penalty in Jamaican.
