Jamaican shower posse goes to war with Dallas Texas locals

Cold War politics intersecting with domestic politics. The CIA got into bed with the JLP and PNP to keep them away from communism. And the two parties had gangsters on their pay rolls like George Feathermop Spence, and Claudius Massop (who was the original leader of the Shower Posse). These guys prior to Cold War tensions were more small time enforcers for their political overlords, giving votes in exchange for government contracts and cash. But after the CIA started getting involved in Jamaican politics they started to get guns too. Really good guns at that. Pretty soon they became so powerful they got out of the politicians pockets.

At the same time the CIA was also getting involved with drug lords in South America. Due to its favorable location between South America, North America and Europe, Jamaica became an ideal distribution centre where shipments from South America could be sorted out and forwarded to wholesalers in North America and in Europe.

So you had both a stash of high end weapons and a steady flow of big drug money coming into the country at the same time, as a result of US foreign policy colliding with the already corrupt nature of Jamaican politics. That is a recipe for a perfect storm. And that's how Jamaica became so dangerous

Thank you, this was a great breakdown.

oh shyt.. that kind of messes up the whole purpose of the term

FBA probably works a little better.. but I guess Jamaica is technically in the Americas as well

No has nothing to do with jaimaican technically being in America’s. It’s not it’s in the Caribbean’s. But just do ur history. Do ur googles. A lot of slaves ports and hubs were in Caribbean. So we could be of same family but I was dropped off in Jamaica ur cousin dropped off in Haiti and the rest dropped off in America . U understand .

Who the streets feared more walking towards them: Snoop or keisha?

You wouldn't see Keisha coming because she look harmless.

You can tell Snoop is grimy at first sight.

 

[Lakerman0834]

Lol. He broke every thing in the jewelry store for no reason. Seagal might be the king of unnecessary property damage

Those segal flicks were pure fukkery . In general those 80s early 90s crime movies were. I remember watching That stallone flick cobra as a kid on TBS and being shook

You said, "walking towards them"

Not a drive by.

 

[norfwestdc]

they got pushed back by the Latinos?

Adams Morgan was majority black up until the mid-90s. From 15th street to 17th street that area was controlled by a click called 17th and Euclid. 17th and Euclid got into it with the pirus and Wayne Perry people.

I posted that in response to you saying ppl would take snoop more serious than keisha because snoop didn’t looked harmless. Can judge a book by it cover

Texas was wild in the late 80's and early 90's. Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth were all active and crazy with the drugs and gangs
