No Coke for Coke

In the news lately has been the attempts to capture a Jamaican drug lord. Christopher "Dudus" Coke is a member of the "Shower Posse" gang. Dudus, now seen as enemy of the state was at one time a close ally of Jamaica's Prime minister, used to intimidate opposition voters and bring supporters during the elections three years ago. The story has changed now. Many of the "Shower Posse" gang have been rounded up and arrested and thousands of security officers have engaged in an urban bloodbath, shooting in the streets of Kingston, Jamaica killing over 30 people. Coke has yet to be found by security forces. If he is, he will be extradited to the US on drug and gun charges.
