It's A State Of Emergency In Kingston, Jamaica!

Via CNN:

Jamaican authorities declared a state of emergency in Kingston after gang members supportive of an alleged drug lord wanted by the United States attacked police stations and blockaded a large swath of the city. Two police stations were evacuated after being hit with Molotov cocktails, while the status of a third was unclear. Gang members blocked off a miles-long area of Jamaica's capital city -- mostly in West Kingston -- using vehicles, sandbags, barbed wire and anything else they could find. The standoff revolves around attempts by the United States to extradite suspected drug kingpin Christopher "Dudus" Coke. Last year he was charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and cocaine and with conspiracy to illegally traffic in firearms in U.S. federal court. On Friday, Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding said citizens should "allow the courts to deal with the extradition matter," the state-run Jamaica Information service reported.

Of course this goes without saying, but this is a very sad and unfortunate thing that is currently happening in Kingston. As of today, more than a dozen civilians and law enforcement officers are dead. SMH! It is no secret that Kingston, along with many other cites across the world, can be a very dangerous place. But for gang members to 'take over' the city and essentially protect a drug lord from extradition, we pray that this issue can be resolved without further deaths!
