[@kareenrichards6861]

I remember this era and this man's name. I was a little girl. I also remember the name Aston Thompson.

To how I hear this man was no joke!! Men like him fought oppression from what I understand!! Listening to my Mom, she told me a story of Claudi calling to her in her earlier years & Grandma go cuss him fi ah call to har pickney & di man just humble himself & low har!!! Totally different men of today!!!!

[@elgranjero2284]

Thanks for the tour. Fully enjoyed it. Despite that they were bad men, it is sad and brutal the way they were taken out. Those police are/were criminals carrying legal guns.

Massop and the other two were not even wanted or had arrest warrants.

yes, because Massop wants peace... he want to live good with Marshal...he want to be able to walk from Tivoli to Rose lane with no problem

[@evertongreensword2732]

That's crap.Massop never dissed Seaga it was blinds who did the dissing 😂😅 at all times and they both respect each other highly.for your information it was the (PNP) government of the day that ordered the assassination because he and his friends Bucky Marshall,Earl Teklife, Byah Carl,Tony Welch and Micky Jakes who made peace between rival factions which they (politicians) couldn't have done
