When government is lax on crimes and criminal activities, this is what happens. The criminals become powerful political figures themselves. In Jamaica it seems like Christopher Coke built up fences for himself by taking care of the people the state turned its back upon and these are the people who are now .Coke's strongest allies. Coke built a little Kingdom in the ghetto called Tivoli Gardens and his subjects like what he is up to and want hands off by the government. The way some folks described Coke he sounds like a modern day Robin Hood. Let this be a warning to governments who are soft on criminal activities and turn a blind eye to poverty and the disenfranchised in their midst. The underdogs may one day rise up and over take the country.
