		<description>look .... i think this is totally wrong.... i listen alot to buju banton, old buju is the hating , new buju is all upliftment . and i seriously doubt a rasta is gonna have a bunch of coke which is a man made substance (which rastas dont use because they believe man made things are corrupt and only living things from the earth are good (from what i read anyways)) now 5 pounds of ganja maybe but coke i think not....unless he has strayed from his path in a huuuge way then this is a set up.....</description>

		<description>Listen...Buju Banton wrote Boom Bye Bye when he was a teenager. That was a long time ago. Do we penalize people for old mistakes over and over agin, even 20 tears later? Let it go man. I you lsten to his music you will see that he is so much more mature with much more uplifting music. I don&#039;t see anybody persecuting Slim Shady or whatever his name is. And Buju does not live in the US he oly goes there for work and owns a residence like so many other people, so he can&#039;t be deported. Just sent home.</description>

		<description>LOL I love it.

To Buju, at his sentencing for 20 years of prison time, I hope he&#039;s told one final thing by the judge:

&quot;Boom Bye-Bye.&quot; :)</description>

		<description>Buju Banton i hope they put you away for 30 years and I hope they gang rape you in prison with out lube, you homophobe. Talking about culture and religion your a bigot and hater. 
You are getting what you truly deserve, the legal system here was unable to get justice for the gays you caused to be murdered and beaten up but let me see you bribe your way out of this one. 
I hope you become a prison biach.</description>

		<description>Anyone trying to paint Buju Banton as some kind of peaceful artist is seriously deluding himself.  As far as I&#039;m concerned, Banton is a murderer and an unrepentant homophobe who has helped make Jamaica a virtual Hell to all gay persons unfortunate enough to be born there.  Show me evidence that this is not true.</description>

		<description>The Time Magazine article &quot;The Most Homophobic Place on Earth?&quot; http://tinyurl.com/qd7h3 mentions that: &quot;a crowd even celebrated over Williamson&#039;s mutilated body.&quot;

This quote is about Jamaican gay activist and JFLAG co-founder, Brian Williamson, who was brutally murdered on June 9, 2004.

What the Time Magazine article does not mention is that the celebrating crowd, outside Brian Williamson&#039;s home in Kingston, Jamaica, with Williamson&#039;s mutilated body still inside, was singing Buju Banton&#039;s &quot;Boom Bye Bye.&quot; http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2004/11/22/all-jamaicans-are-threatened-culture-homophobia</description>

		<description>Current news reports have Buju Banton and his associates trying to purchase 7 kilos, almost 15.5 pounds, of cocaine.

In March of 2004, Buju Banton was convicted of a marijuana drug offense in Jamaica. As a result, he was banned from the U.S. for one year.

From the July 17, 2004 Guardian, UK:

[quote]

One of Jamaica&#039;s most famous dancehall singers, Buju Banton, is being sought by police in Jamaica in connection with a homophobic attack on a group of gay men. 

Mr Banton was allegedly one of a group of about a dozen armed men who forced their way into a house in Kingston on the morning of June 24 and beat up the occupants while shouting homophobic insults, according to the victims. 

[end of quote]

It took several years for Buju Banton to be arrested. The case never came to trial because the victims were too afraid to testify. Afraid for their lives. For details, see Time Magazine &quot;The Most Homophobic Place on Earth?&quot; http://tinyurl.com/qd7h3  

One of the victims of this 2004 armed gay-bashing assault, was permanently blinded in one eye. He identifies Buju Banton as his assailant.</description>

		<description>@ Queerty:

Just a word to your editor:

It is &quot;jury-rigged&quot; as in a rigged jury. 

OR perhaps you were thinking of Gerrymandering (similar but different, as in a &quot;Gerrymandered&quot; voting district, rigged to produce a particular outcome).

Does Queerty have employment opportunities for new editors?</description>

		<description>Gee, a little justice for a change. Put his skanky ass in jail for a good long time, and when they let him out, ship him back to that hole, jamaica. 
I think it&#039;s hysterical that all his fans think that gays have anything to do with it. If only. Just proves even further how fucking stupid and backward they are.</description>

		<description>More questions than answers.  Would the 5kg be for personal use or for resale?  If Buju was interested in drug trafficking, why would he want to be on the ground personally? Does anyone know is Buju was sane leading up to the incident?  What is the real street story on this one?</description>

		<description>I think Buju should find another lawyer to represent him.  David Rowe is making a mockery of the situation.  How can he be publicly admitting guilt while simultaneously seeking to represent the client. There a lot of Boom Bye Haters around so Buju should carefully choose a &quot;straight&quot; lawyer.</description>

Hey, honey, be easy on Tamarac.  I have a home there in the Mainlands community and it&#039;s a great city that&#039;s VERY gay friendly and plenty of gay families live there.  Three of our immediate neighbors are gay couples. The vice president of our homeowners&#039; assn is a gay man.  I would also extrapolate based upon anecdotal evidence that Tamarac has more per-capita gays than the country as a whole.  I think we also have a nondiscrimination ordinance in place that covers LGBT people (not certain about that, though).

I was shocked when I read this article today that this slime lived in my community of Fort Lauderdale!  Tamarac is SO above this trash.  I say send him to prison for 20 years, let him find a boyfriend there and then deport his arse back to Jamaica.  This couldn&#039;t have happened any better. OMG, the irony.</description>

		<description>that is not the buju that we know now i am jamaican, and buju as always talked about things of upliftment and all...you see you can&#039;t hold people to their past and so what if that is what he said then. the point is he is willing to work with gays, he doesn&#039;t have to support..he doesn&#039;t even need to like it. He is now talking about unity the man has no pic with you the person only by the actions and the moral of being gay.

Everybody is entiled to their own opinion.

now he is not influential where drugs is concern and knowing buju really i don&#039;t think he would want to disappoint his jamaican people to that extent.


people grow up...the only reasono why some of you have a problem with him is because the dude is jamaican...your rap stars and hip hop singers make even worst statements about gays than buju did but you all aren&#039;t &quot;pounding&quot; on them....no....but u ganging up on the jamaican....</description>

		<description>FIVE KILOS OF COKE !   Yeah, that&#039;s some source of &quot;inspiration&quot; for Jamaican youths.  LOL 

If he&#039;s convicted, he should get the same sentence that is usually handed out for the offense in Florida.  He should serve the sentence then be deported, which is usual.  The conviction will severely limit his ability to tour, which is too fucking bad.</description>

		<description>So a hate-mongering foreigner living in the USA who commits a felony should get a lighter sentence because, as stated by David P. Rowe, a criminal defense lawyer in Broward, &quot;Hopefully, the federal government will take into account that he is a reggae icon, and a cultural leader in Jamaica. Those are subjective factors but ones that should be taken into account. He really has been a source of inspiration for so many Jamaican youths.&quot;  An inspiration &#039;to kill gays&#039;.  Wow, maybe our fair criminal justice system should just let him walk.  I wonder what the sentence in Jamaica would be for a gay person caught with coke?  Death maybe?  An inspiration?  A hate-filled drug dealer?  If this is the best that Jamaica can produce, I feel sorry for all the good people of that country.</description>
