like i said clinton and bush responsible for far more deaths than this guy;

drug dealers killing drug dealers less heinous than bombing innocent citizens in sudan and iraq like bush and clinton did;
but i don't expect to hear anyone demanding their imprisonment

Whatever crime he was accused of he did his time. Knowing how these gangs operate I doubt Vivian Blake ordered 1400 murders. In any case he was not convicted of killing 1400 folks.

The other guy went on to commit more crimes after he was given an out and that is what he is doing time for.

</span>
BY KARYL WALKER Crime/court co-ordinator [email protected]

Former Shower Posse boss Vivian Blake arrived home yesterday <span style="font-weight: bold">with 51 other deportees</span> and after being processed by police at the Kingston Central Police Station said he was tired and wanted, more than anything else, to see his daughter.

&quot;I need some rest, I am tired. I have been travelling for 24 hours and I really need some rest. My first wish is to see my daughter,&quot; Blake, 52, told reporters.


Blake, who spent eight years in a US prison, arrived with the other deportees on a special flight from Springfield in Louisiana about 12.45 pm at the Norman Manley International Airport and was transported in one of three buses to the police station.

Smiling for most of the time, Blake was quickly whisked through a back door.

More than an hour afterwards, Blake was released into the custody of his attorneys, David Rowe and George Soutar.
Blake refused to say whether or not he feared for his life after he entered into a plea bargain with US authorities and gave crucial information on the workings of the Shower Posse in order to avoid a 28-year sentence.

After speaking to reporters, Blake was quickly hustled into a white Toyota Prado sports utility vehicle <span style="font-weight: bold">which sped off on East Queen Street to wild cheers from a group of people who had gathered outside the gates of the police station.
&quot;Big up Vivian, mi boss,&quot; a woman shouted as she pranced gleefully.</span>

A police source yesterday said <span style="font-weight: bold">Blake had told officers that he planned to reside in the West Kingston enclave of Tivoli Gardens, the breeding ground of the Shower Posse. The source said there was no bad blood between Blake and present leaders of the community and they were not expecting any clashes over turf.</span>

&quot;They have accepted him and he said that is where he is planning to live,&quot; the cop said.

Blake, who owned the Cactus Nightclub in Portmore, St Catherine, reportedly told police officers that he had no beef with the owners of two nightclubs in New Kingston.
&quot;He said he sold the club to them and they owe him nothing,&quot; a cop said.

Earlier, one of his attorneys told reporters that <span style="font-weight: bold">Blake had turned over a new leaf and wanted to be remembered as a member of the literary community as he would be embarking on a career involving scripting plays and writing novels.</span>

Blake was fingered as the mastermind behind the ruthless Shower Posse, which had established drug bases in more than 20 US cities, Canada and the United Kingdom and was reportedly responsible for more than 1,400 murders.

In December 1988, Blake slipped out of the United States on a cruise ship and entered Jamaica in Ocho Rios, St Ann. He managed to remain free for five years before he was arrested on an extradition warrant in 1998. He spent five years fighting extradition to the US before he was eventually handed over to US authorities.

Yesterday, a source close to Blake alleged that he was suffering from kidney failure and had to be undergoing regular dialysis treatment.</div></div>

Re: Vivian Blake returns to Jamaica


I know why folks keep thinking that since he was the leader of the Shower Posse he was a supporter of the JLP.
Do a research on the Blake Family!
