Jamaicans “Limb-Up” Pedophiles
For the past
two weeks residents of a small town in Jamaica have been seeking to limb-up a
Pedophile who kidnapped several young girls. One 9-year-old girl was found
after two days of searching the bush but another 13-year-old girl is still
missing. Many residents are now speculating that this one culprit is responsible
for numerous kidnappings in the area in the past. The residents are now fed up
with the lack of action by the authorities and have embarked on a vigilante
hunt for the suspected pedophile.
“Limb-up” is
a Jamaican term referring to the dismembering of a person by Machete. Limbing-up
someone is a barbaric act that is often carried out by angry deranged individuals
and criminals. However, sometimes the act gets a pass in cases of vigilantism.
It is then referred to as “Jungle Justice”. Most residents of small towns in
Jamaica own Machetes; mostly for farming, gardening, and ground maintenance but
also for protection. It is no surprise that Machetes are the weapon of choice
against suspected #Pedophiles.
Unfortunately,
a few days ago, one innocent man was killed by a group of searchers when he ran
after being confronted for not being a resident of the community. The Police are
now warning the residents not to take the law into their own hands but most
Jamaicans know that until the Pedophile is caught, the residents are keeping
their Machetes very sharp.
