Man Aimed His Gun at Unstable Woman Who Approached Him in New Kingston

I got a video this week, showing a man aiming his firearm at a woman in New Kingston. Based on what I saw in the video, and from comments made by persons, one can extrapolate the following:

A man is heading to his car, and while heading to his car, a woman confronted him. Persons have said to me that the woman who confronted this man, is a beggar who frequents the New Kingston area. She displays anti-social behaviour.

This woman started to approach the man and he took defensive action by stepping back from the woman who continued to approach him. The woman continued to approach him while he kept stepping back and looking at her. From what I saw in the video, the man apparently was telling her that her approaching him, was not welcomed. The gentleman pulled his firearm, aimed it at the woman and the woman immediately backed off. He then went to his car and drove off.

The photographer who captured the incident, then read out the license of the car and recorded that on the video. That video is now being circulated over the Internet with the license of the car. This could put the driver of the car in danger since the license of the car has been made public. What a sick thing to do! 

My first concern is what is our strategy to deal with the mentally ill, addicts and those homeless persons on our streets. These persons pose a danger to persons going about their daily business. A few years ago, one chopped a police officer severely in Christiana, Manchester. Other citizens and motorists have suffered at the hands of these mentally challenged persons. Recently one mentally challenged person severed the head of someone in rural Jamaica. In the past we have tried to deal with these street, and mentally challenged people by relocating them near a mud lake in western Jamaica. Cruel and heartless people have set these persons ablaze while they were sleeping on the sidewalk.

Back to this incident with this man in New Kingston. Anyone who feels threatened has a right to protect themselves. This man had a gun on him, (I hope that it was a licensed gun.) and after realizing that a threat was imminent, he had his firearm ready. That is what persons acquire firearms for. It is clear that the lady realized that one should not take chances with an armed individual. The question is, suppose he did not get his firearm ready, and the lady had attacked him, found his firearm, and took it away? Why should a person on seeing a person suspected to be mentally challenged wait until he or she is harmed before taking evasive action. The lady responded appropriately to the sight of the firearm and subsequently all ended well.

What is interesting, is that this matter has gone viral and the concern of many Jamaicans, is that the man should not have pulled his firearm. The man stepped back for some distance before taking evasive action and he made sure to keep his eyes on the aggressor. What is interesting is that a number of Jamaicans have started to tear down this man for protecting himself. Earlier this week, when a lady who felt threatened by that clown who shouted at her to get out of that taxi, if she had a firearm and pointed it at that clown, then he would have no option but to back off. That video with that clown has also gone viral and he has been recognized by one media entity. We are now having the same reaction to a situation where a woman who seems to be challenged mentally, is being made into a star and the man who only sought to defend himself is being treated as a common criminal. Only in Jamaica!

Jamaica we will continue to pay dearly until the most of us who support good over-power those who support evil. Satan has certainly taken control of our beautiful country Jamaica. We are paying dearly for it.
