There has been reoccurring roadblocks on the short West End. This in protest of two young Jamaican men who died on their cycle in a freak accident involving a downed powerline.
We have been monitoring the situation from Canoe and MiYard. There is true pain and frustration being felt by the demonstrators, and they are blocking the road with old fridges and tires and the occasional fire.
We just left as the latest fire near Canoe had burned itself out, with the police and fire department on site.
Walking back to the car, we had already heard rumors of gun shots, which were actually bottles and/or cans popping in the fire. Even at the height of this protest, locals and visitors alike were walking around the roadblock.
I am sure that there will be plenty of rumors all over the net, but at present about all that can be said is that the West End Road is blocked at Westland Mountain Rd.
We will keep you updated on to any changes.
