Maroons Angry??


"What you talkin' bout willis??!!"


It seems the USA is bringing its domineering power to the Caribbean.

Some fancy shmansy US company wants to build a casino in the Accompong village in JA.

Did some research on why US companies like to make cash cows in derelict places, no matter where it is:


What the f*&ck are you still doing- wearing traditional outfits.

It seems that US stance in developing the area is more of a friendly caring push to us natives to ask ourselves “What the fuck are we still doing- wearing traditional slave out fits? It’s the 20th century!”

Do you notice that the majority of these casinos are built in places, where locals still hunt for food instead of buying it? Where the language is still” abba dabbo doo daa” and not “May I have some grey poupon please?”


What benefit is it to still have Jamaicans walking around in post slavery garments beating dutch pan covers together and stamping bare feet in the dirt?.

Other than the obvious, “To keep or heritage.”, please leave a suitable comment….

If you believe the leader of Accompong Town they've never had any instances of murder or other violent crimes. Possibly fear of your ancestors and bare feet makes it harder to kill your neighbour.

Actually I did some research and maroons do actually carry out their own civil justice. Unfortunately it's a method rather uncivilized, hence the majority of the popultaion not hearing about.
Upon investigation at the village I spoke to "Heru" who has been a native of the village for 27 years. he said that persons who commit petty/capital crimes are dealt with dueLY:

RAPE= RAPE

THEFT= BEATEN SEVERLY WITH OBJECT(NORMALLY A DUTCH POT)

FIGHTING= BEATEN WITH DUTCH POT COVER.

PETTY THEFT= SPLASHED WITH HOT CONTENTS OF DUTCH POT.

DRUNKENESS= WEAR THE POT ON HEAD FOR ENTIRE DAY.
