Dear Editor,

Jamaica still has a strong judicial system and faith has been restored in it.

While Vybz Kartel has been referred to as ‘The Teacha’ and the Worl’ Boss, no decent, well-thinking person would want him to teach anyone for whom they cared. There is only one world boss and that is God the Almighty.

Vybz Kartel refers to his camp as Gaza. Does he know where Gaza is? He wouldn’t be able to survive in any Arab country as his behaviour wouldn’t be tolerated there.

The young people who listen to his music needs to look into themselves and the behaviour depicted, as that is not the right road to be on. No one is untouchable nor above the law, and this message was sent loud and clear. Once you commit a crime and it is proven, you are to do the time. He has time now to reflect on his life, do some introspection and turn his life around. His co-accused need to look into themselves as well.

Vybz Kartel went to a good school, Calabar, where he had the possibility of becoming a productive member of the society; but he chose the wrong road. The message must be sent that no proceeds must be used to finance the dead man’s family as this option was mentioned at one point, as this is setting a bad precedent because if this is done people can believe that it is OK to commit these crimes.
