Buju recorded the now infamous “Boom bye bye” nearly 20 years ago. At that time there was little tolerance for gays anywhere in the world. There was a general cry for their heads.

Give the guy a break. The advocates here of prison sodomy are worse than Buju, the author of an unfortunate song.

My gut instinct tells me that there is something amiss here and that BJ will eventually be exonerated.

Let’s learn to live in peace and love.

One love, y’all!

While it is too true that our drug laws and drug law enforcement are a great swamp of dysfunction, the chance that an innocent artist is the victim here is low enough that we should give some attention to the consideration that as with Pat Robertson and the Ugandan government, we would appear to have a case where the rhetoric of sexual morality would seem to have been used as cover for other problematical transactions. Getting caught up in revenge fantasies is way too easy exactly because it allows us to ignore the connections to how others attack us.

Jake, let’s see your proof that he was set up. We don’t see any Jamaican’s calling for all heterosexuals to be murdered after a man rapes a girl, so don’t pretend its somehow justified to claim all gays are guilty if some pedophile allegedly rapes a boy (likely another fiction).

One of allyuh Battie Boi set him up. He sang Boom Bye Bye after a 7yr boy was raped in Jamaica.,.,

If boojoo hadn’t been so stoned on ganja all the time, he might have noticed he was being set up by DEA in that 5 kilo deal.

Oh well, you play, you pay. That’s how it works.

I’m certain that Banton’s defense will be that the 5 Kilos of cocaine was just for “personal” use!

I’d rather he not get raped, but I do hope that he spends every waking moment in fear and anticipation of being raped.

Wow. So this is the “civil discourse” I find in the comments left overnight.

The only reason I’m not removing comments before this one is to provide context for comments left by others.
