Shooting Victim Clings to Life

Shooting updateMore details have unfolded about Thursday's shooting in Villa Area that left a man clinging to life in the Intensive Care Unit at the Mount St John's Medical Centre.

According to reports, the victim – Jermaine "Six Months" Destin – had been standing at the corner of Jasbo and Athill Street with two men just after 9 am Thursday when the assailant, wearing a mask and armed with a shotgun, came up, pushed aside one of the men and opened fire.

Destin is said to have fallen to the ground, and the assailant approached him and fired another round.

Up to Thursday night, police sources said while they had a name and description of the alleged gunman, he has not been taken into custody, despite an extensive manhunt.


The sources confirmed that while the gunman wore a mask, his description and other traits suggested he might be the man involved in an ongoing feud with the victim.

The feud is said to have started with a quarrel between the victim’s girlfriend and the girlfriend of the alleged gunman. That feud took a turn for the worse on Monday with another less serious shooting incident.

I could not agree with you more,we have disagreed on some political issues,but you have said it all soo well in this post, Lack of self esteem is the main cause of most of the problems we see not only with our young women,but the Men also, It leaves me to suggest that the problem is larger than the young people themselves,it goes back to the Environment which He/She grew up in, Parents/guardia ns are the guilty ones for the failure of our young Generation,It is now time for the relevant authorities to identify the needs of these young persons,and put in place professional programs to assist in molding them, if something is not done sooner rather than later,we will find ourselves with a lost Generation.

Lack of Self Esteem

#4 PROUD ANU QUEEN » 2010-11-19 05:17

It is my humble opinion that lack of self esteem is the reason that some of these young women date the first guy who approach him. Additionally, some women lack the love and affection of their fathers, thus, they try to seek it else where. More often than not, they are just used, abused and cast aside by some of these men who have absolutely no respect for women. Sadly, our young women today do not have high standards for themselves, and more often than not, that is reflected in their choice of a mate.

This had nothing to do with knuckle but all to do with grown men dating teenage school children, a whole lot of stupidity and dunceness, and a hatred for God.

Shooting Victim

#1 Hang them! » 2010-11-19 01:17

Yup. Always a woman involved.
These men need to behave. They love the idea of having more than one woman in tow, and the women all seem to know and accept it.
That's why there is no respect for women in this country.
