JAMAICA Observer online readers are largely in support of West Kingston Member of Parliament Desmond McKenzie for his stance against criminals in the troubled constituency. On Sunday, a handful of residents burned T-Shirts with McKenzie's image and gave him a 48-hour ultimatum to leave the constituency. Their action followed McKenzie's call on Saturday for the police to bring the criminals responsible for a fresh round of shootings in the constituency late Friday, which left two people dead and at least 10 others nursing injuries. Here are some edited comments:

I find the level of ignorance in these communities astounding. They are burning a T-shirt of the member of Parliament because he supposedly "took sides". Shouldnt they be venting their anger at the killers and murderers in their communities? Surely they know who these people are. Why don't they provide the police with the information.

Don't forget this: they accuse the MP for taking sides, yet they're painting "PNP" all over the place. Isn't that, you know, taking sides? Plus, do they really think the PNP will do better? Ha!
Meggie Dane
Don't forget there are PNP voters in the constituency too. Interestingly, except for one man, all the faces were hidden. That demonstration could be a strategy — they probably have to do it for the gunmen.

This is why Jamaica has so much murder in it. We turn our anger at all times in the wrong direction. Desmond didn't killed or order the killing of anyone. He is doing the right think by exposing the wrongdoers. more
