YouTube: politics scaring the tourists!
Written by Ross Sheil“OhmyGod!”
A political nuisance was shared on video-sharing website YouTube by some American tourists recently.
Posted on July 5 is a clip filmed by the tourists, or persons seeming to be tourists, of a Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) motorcade taking over a stretch of road.
It does not state when the incident occurred.
The Labourites’ vehicles peacefully pass the bemused visitors who seemed to share the adverse reaction of many Jamaicans to motorcades - there have been several violent incidents associated with motorcades recently.
“Showa! Showa!” yelled some Labourites; others ringing bells or hanging out of windows as they passed a stationary police vehicle.
“This is crazy,” was the reaction of one American. “This is really overwhelming.”
