Murders, drug smuggling, shootings – while gang leaders purchase clothes, food and school supplies to gain community favour and protection!
Barbados Journalist Ian Bourne
One day after our Coast Guard had a shoot-out with violent drug smugglers off Six Men’s, St. Peter, and two days after Prime Minister David Thompson told US Defense Secretary Robert Gates that the US-Mexican crackdown on drug trafficking had pushed the drugs and the violence into the rest of the Caribbean, Bajan Reporter confirms what most of us have already heard and fear…
The big-name violent gangs are here in Barbados, and for many families they need look no further than their own kitchen table for the horrifying truth.
Ian Bourne has done an excellent job researching his latest article. (As he points out, there is no doubt that the oldstream news media will steal his work without attribution.)
You owe it to yourself and your family to head over to Bajan Reporter and learn the truth about the gangs in Barbados.

Bajan Reporter: “Gangs Of Barbados” By Minister Roger Husbands & Police Constable Allan Goodridge
Barbados Free Press 
This is good investigative journalism with some real back up by citizens who are wiling to stand up.
This is not good for tourism but a great wake-up all.
Our members of Parliament set terrible examples when they bring guns into Parliament and then threaten each other.
Can’t we get a better quality of citizen to run for election?
Those gang names were called in parliment when de talk bout de gully and gaza was going on, this is old news. We all no wat gun happen to wat happen in de parliment between dem two, not a thing. I cud fire one to dat.
http://bit.ly/b1FvEn “A massive gang takedown in Queens uncovered a rare alliance between Bloods and Crips and a ruthless plot to assassinate cops, authorities said Friday.
The revelations came as law enforcement unveiled the chilling results of long-running “Operation Under Siege“ – 104 suspects, dozens of guns, two slayings and piles of drugs and cash.“
Hey BFP – update to my story, very interesting!
The security meeting is more about US control in the region than anything else, South American drugs are “allowed” to move around freely & opium from Afghanistan (90% of the worlds supply comes from there) manages to get across the world from a country that is US occupied. US foriegn policy is messed up as it usually is.
this is old news?
Well if it is old news and a select few have the information, why isn’t the Fourth Estate keeping these isuues front and centre so the public knows what is going on?
The Fourth Estate ( media outlets– freedom of the press and investigative journalism ) has had its mouth tightly attached to the teats of the government payroll for so long, it has forgotten that it is one of the most important checks and balances in a true democracy.
keep up the good work Ian and anyone else who who understands that good social and economic change first starts with knowledge that there is a problem that needs to be fixed.
BTW – The photo used in my item is not an official RBPF Crime Scene photo, I was provided that via e-mail a good while back.
UPDATE – VOB’s 5:30 News says a Gang report was “released on to a website on the internet.” h’mm – God Forbid we say, “BAJAN REPORTER” eh?
They don’t get it Ian.
VOB’s website is about 10 years behind the times and useless. They should take it down as having no website would be less embarrassing than what they have.
