JFJ’S PREDICTABLE HYPOCRISY

By now most peo­ple in Jamaica and a sig­nif­i­cant por­tion of Jamaicans liv­ing out­side the Country are famil­iar with the mur­der of 17-year-old Kingston College stu­dent Khajeel Mais .
Young mis­ter Mais lost his life under the most egre­gious of cir­cum­stances ‚infor­ma­tion from the Jamaican Media and the Police sug­gest young mis­ter Mais was a lone pas­sen­ger rid­ing in the back seat of a cab to a fete being held at the Meadowbrook High school in Saint Andrew, the cab report­ed­ly rear end­ed a lux­u­ry BMW ‑x6 Sport Utility Vehicle , upon which all hell broke loose.
The reports alleged the dri­ver of the Sport util­i­ty, alight­ed from his vehi­cle gun in hand and opened fire at the cab , the dri­ver real­iz­ing he was being shot at ‚turned his cab around and sped off in the oppo­site direc­tion, he lat­er real­ized his young pas­sen­ger was dead.
Shot through the head.!!
This shoot­ing has evoked a firestorm of con­dem­na­tion and anger from all quar­ters of Jamaica , and the Jamaican com­mu­ni­ty liv­ing in oth­er Countries,the blog sites and social media has lit up with almost every­one call­ing for a swift res­o­lu­tion to this case .The demands are clear, find the shoot­er and bring him to Justice.!!
Most peo­ple read­ing the reports on a dai­ly basis were infu­ri­at­ed upon learn­ing that the shoot­er cow­ard­ly high­tailed it out of the Country after the shoot­ing, as more infor­ma­tion trick­led in it was report­ed he was an American Citizen , since then the shoot­er has report­ed­ly returned to the Island under the advise of his high-priced Attorney Patrick Atkinson, was detained by the Police, who up to the time of this post still has not released his name.
This has inflamed anoth­er fire storm of con­dem­na­tion, with most of those demand­ing more Information, claim­ing spe­cial treat­ment is being afford­ed the alleged mur­der­er. Despite how we feel about the actions of the Police ‚one thing we all share, is a com­mon out­rage that this young man’s life was snuffed out in this man­ner, now every­one has a right to due process, to the ben­e­fit of the doubt, and despite our out­rage I am sure the accused man has a sto­ry to tell, and so we await his day in Court, when hope­ful­ly we will get a chance to hear his ratio­nale, to what most peo­ple char­ac­ter­ize as a bar­bar­ic act. Now despite the National and International out­rage ema­nat­ing from this inci­dent, we have heard not one word from the car­ing peo­ple at Jamaicans for jus­tice, not one iota,not one peep of com­ment , no con­dem­na­tion, noth­ing that would assuage some of the hurt and pain the fam­i­ly of young Khajeel Mais must be feel­ing at this time. Yet true to form,as is their modus operan­di , despite expla­na­tion from oth­ers ‚and the Commissioner of Police, regard­ing the rea­son his Agency has made the deci­sion not to release the sus­pec­t’s name, the peo­ple at JFJ fear­ing irrel­e­vance, jumped onto this issue . Despite all the out­pour­ing of love and sup­port for the fam­i­ly of Khajeel Mais the peo­ple at Jamaicans for Justice has decid­ed that rather than con­demn the shoot­er , they would rather crit­i­cize the Police.
