DECEMBER 13, 2021: Gangster-turned-lay evangelist John Martin watched more than 50 times a video of heavily armed attackers who drove into the Tower Hill, St Andrew, community and murdered his son at a cookout last Saturday. Robert Martin, otherwise known as ‘Sheldon’ or ‘Luther’, failed in his bid to outrun his attackers, who had handguns and rifles.

I lift my hat to this father. More kids in Jamaica need their fathers in their lives. A good father like this one!!! 👍🏿
I couldn’t have said it better.
This also proves that having a good father still does not prevent young people being attracted to criminal lifestyle.
@@givemeabreak100 if you listen to the full interview, he was a gangster as well- the father. He gave up that lifestyle and went to church... That was before the seed he sown was already planted. I sympathize with this case but 9 out of 10 times... A child with his or her father playing a positive role will impact a child.
@@blakchyny I'm speaking from facts and experience of working with young people and families. People often think that's what happens but having a good father around does not guarantee anything although having that support can also be a deterant. Sometimes the child is just determined not to listen, daddy or no daddy.
@@givemeabreak100 Nothing in life is 100% so I can't argue that point however, the point I wanted to say... To which you alluded to.... It's a major deterrent 😁💪🏾
This is what a real dad does for his children. He knew his son was no angel BUT he loved him unconditionally ❤

What you expect?
He's a Jamaican,they don't give a fuck about nothing.
Respect!

Yeah good .
I know and speak upon the truth, even if you don't know or simply choose not to.
pray for your dam
Self I think your need it way more than me buddy.
I wish we have more father's like this .he love his child and he is hurting so bad. He is not covering up his son wrongs.may God keep him safe.
It's good to talk about GOD but his son was crying out for mental help he probably had a mental disorder such as Bipolar or Borderline Personality which cause abnormal behavior that his dad explained so parents need to observe and get their children mental help from a young age bcz when they get older they will not take the medication and will be harder to control their behavior at that point...🙏🙏🙏😢😢my condolences to the family...
STOLEN AFRICAt
Mother Africa
I watched the tongue of my great grandmother
speckling a flashing picture of a great lullaby,
trapped on a reclining sea breeze.
Her expression. a bushel of corn,
that reflects the motherland,
now this interpretation is empty
and bare like a broken hammer,
abandon like a gold mine,
stripped of her pride,
silent and cold as she breathe the dust of time.
Like a wooden spoon nestled between the waves of anticipation
my mind digest metaphysics of dancing vowels, which forms a cliché to transcend the gravity of her stomach wall,
that's when they came to change her forever,
leaving her face expression less until this day.
My imagination for her is filled with emotions,
and my tears flows for her children taken into slavery,
tomorrow there shall be hope,
for her to be happy and prosperous again.

@@Dtella55 that's not always the case though many know what they are doing
If him did want him so to stop he should have let police deal with in way back wen the son doing crime
@@thekvng201 Absolutely agreed. As an educator teaching middle school math I cannot tell how often I drop the math book and hold passionate vibes with students. I remind them how they are filled with greatness and goodness and kindness. I talk with them about integrity and pride. I talk about hard work and how respect does not cost a dime so we should stock up on it. Ummmm fallen on dead ears. But we must keep on planting the seeds.
I'm so sorry for that Dad he tried to get his son to do the right thing.. Hope he live to see many more years and continue to save souls.
Father God you blood will never lose its power to save the vilest of sinners send healing oh God we are in need of you. Repent time is at hand.
You mean continue to bring souls to Christ. He has no power to save.

@Delroy Williams You know what the man mean though star.
As a mother I know this man is hurting immeasurably because he went around saving others but couldn’t save his own son, no matter how much he tried 😔 I really commend this man for his strength… it’s also immeasurable.
Real Daddy, speaking the truth. No cover up, speak the truth.
Maybe the son had a mental disorder like Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder that cause them to steal if they not on medication from a young age parents need to observe their children from an early age to control abnormal behavior and get them mental help bcz when they get older it's hard to get them to take meds and the behavior becomes a way of life for them on the streets with other wayward children stealing...etc
Very sad
Yep first time hearing a parent talking the truth about his child
czcams.com/video/eIUD0Wu8sCs/video.html
@@Dtella55 Unfortunately some people don’t show signs of mental illness when they are children, but as they get older the illness rears it’s ugly head…🥺💔
I feel this man's pain. Sometimes in life your children will break your heart but standing firm in Christ is the only way to pull through. Blessings to him and his family. 🙏
The white mans Jesus is not the way...its a part of the problem, but that's a whole other conversation.
@@infamous1ao totally agree with you 👍🏾
Sympathy for him. They just don’t listen. You did all you could.
czcams.com/video/eIUD0Wu8sCs/video.html
@@infamous1ao who cares what color God or Jesus is. If God made everybody different colors. Fuckin color shouldn’t mean shit. This mans faith truth might save his son from damnation
I love this father. A father in a million.
No weapon shall form against you shall prosper.
This man is very hurt 😔 but strong
I love ❤ the fact he didn't lied about his son behavior. What parent will speak the truth about a son who's a criminal and a killer. I give this men respect.
That's why the same people who are friends with their son do not like the father.
My sincere condolences 🙏 to you and your family and others that know ànd love àll your family..
Anytime children don't listen to good parents the end result is always tragic..Daddy i feel your pain.
The dad is under a curse he was like the son and now that he’s a Christian he did not break the curse off of his life and the son good parents have nothing to do with is death .
This why many children never grew up to see their daddy because the day was a vicious crime person and now the children is paying their bills wake up Jamaicans wake up .
@@jackieking7908 There’s no curse on him. The son committed his own sins and he will answer for them.
@@gennisparry4352 you do not understand spiritual matter
@@jackieking7908 I go by what I see written in the Bible in Proverbs 1 my dear , that’s spiritual matter. I cannot judge people and say a curse is upon them. I don’t know for sure. I heard what this father said how he begged his son to move away from crime. Anything wrong with that? That’s a good father. Any father who councils his children in a godly way is a good father and a that’s Bible. I go by Bible, not my own opinion which can be false. When you go by Bible, that’s spiritual.
Even if the dad used to do bad things before he became a changed godly man , don’t we all ? Examine yourself my dear, you may not have robbed anyone, but are we all clean? So Jesus said the vilest of sinners he Will save. So if the father used to do wrong and turned to God, his sins are forgiven, he is not responsible for his son’s crimes or sins. His son’s sins are upon his own shoulder. The woman who used to do prostitution in the Bible, Mary Magdalene, when she came to Jesus and wept and anointed his feet, she came for repentance and her sins were forgiven her. There are so many examples in the scriptures, are you reading my dear? Don’t be quick to judge people, without knowing the scriptures, examine yourself , be honest, are you without sin? Cast the first stone? This man saw the early demise of his son , according to his lifestyle and begged him to stop and he didn’t. He’s not responsible in no way His son is responsible and in the wrong and he paid with his life, his father is on repentance ground. My dear I have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ since 1979. So I studied my Bible, I don’t need Bible school for this my dear. God gave me the understanding. So I can’t be fooled by false prophet, preachers or apostles. As those foolish Jamaican who were DUPED by that FALSE APOSTLE. He will burn in Hell. All other FALSE Teachers, in Jamaica 🇯🇲. False Prophets, FALSE APOSTLES or others who FALSELY Used the name of JESUS will PERISH. Amen.
My hat goes off to you sir you're a blessing if most dad was like this Jamaica would be a better place today
😭😭😭
This is a real parent. Do NOT shield your child when he does wrong. Love your honesty and forthrightness. Continue to do the work of Christ.
him wicked same way
Where is his wife ?
God bless this dad, leave him alone so he can grieve in private. He alone can feel a father’s pain. We need more parent like him. May the lord keep him strong in his faith.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 needs more father like this tuff love ❤️
I remember this guy 10 yrs ago from Spanish town
Always preaching to the toughest guys in the streets
He was the Christian ninja man
Father if you dead speaking the truth so be God is you strength
Youngsters need to listen and obey their elders.Feel it for this father.😢
@@faizaanalap4 🙄
Jah know this brings tears to my eyes! Only a parent with a troubled child would feel and understand this deep pain! Sir you shall live and not die! 🙏🙏 It’s also refreshing to hear a parent say my child was troublesome as opposed to the norm of, ‘My baby was a good boy!’
Great Dad 🙏🏾
I am sorry, Father. May God Almighty heal his hurting heart.
czcams.com/video/vDHfCUmXq6w/video.html
Full time for them to left this father alone for is not everyone as a father would say what he saying now
Who feels it knows it. Only when we walk in the shoes of this father we will understand his feelings. The father has been there and knew that the life of criminality does not pay. So he was trying to steer his child away from it into the right direction. May God continue to guide, strengthen and protect this father.
Am so sorry that this happened to this man . He tried to save his son’s life , so sorry
As a father of three, two girls and a boy, I can't begin to imagine what You're battling with. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family 💜🙏🏾💓💜
I feel it for the father. I feel his pain. 🙏🏾♥️
May the lord dry your tears father.
I feel so sad for this father losing his son . He tried to put him on the right path . He tried so hard but his son was just so stubborn. Poor dad. I would give anything to have a father like him .
This is the second father I heard speak like this. This man is speaking from his heart and not of hate...
Daddy continue in your parth with God now no more distraction for you. man can't hear woo he will hear waa. I have two son and if they chose the wrong path they are on their own.
Dad, your life is a testimony and a witness to others! God is proud of you and so am I!!
It takes a strong heart, mind and soul to speak like this. Father I pray that God will continue to strengthen you and keep you. May he comfort your heart, no matter how bad a child be as parents we still love them like Christ loves us. Blessings 🙏🏾
My mother always say if you can't hear,you have to feel the pain that comes with it...That's me noh deal with the bad man mentality,them can't trick me...life too sweet to waste it...Thank the Lord I make my mother proud ❤
God be with you precious son!
Lol
Shelton, Wise mothers speak truths that will save your life! You make many mothers proud!!! Bless you.
Real talk King keep ya head up! 💯🙏
You made yourself proud as well 👏
I agree with this man!!!.he is tired of the rubbish.souldiers like these GOD want to stand up for his people.
Exactly he tried di son just wouldn't listen
I’m sorry for ur lost Sir. Tears come to my eyes seeing the agony this man is in. This is what this badness do to GOOD parents.
Kids don’t listen and the sad thing the parents is the one is going to feel it
You couldn’t say it better .
As a mother of twin daughters and 1 son...My heart ached for you sir. I couldn't hold back the tears. I just couldn't hold them back. We raise our children and we hope and pray and we pray some more. I know it is tough because I see your pain. My son is now 31. Married and they gave me a grandson. My daughters are 37. I pray without ceasing. One never knows but I just pray and pray. Ummmmmmmm. May God give you peace.
I cried too 😭😭😭
I feel the pain of this Dad. Not everyone in Jamaica knows about certain illness like bipolar etc because they are not educated about these things and seems not as important 🙏🏻 for your safety dad and you shall indeed live to declare the glory of God. Coverage over you dad in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏🏻
Agreed!!! Their brain's are wired differently and a lot of people don't know and understand this. They can't help their behaviors, their brain is imbalanced. We need to be educated on mental health and all the signs to look for so we don't go just calling our loved ones "mad man/woman", thief, criminal etc and go about our day but rather seek MEDICAL help for them.
@@MrsBonas25 Their ego is strong. Their will to hedonism is stronger. THEY KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG.
I 100,000% disagree with allowing them to terrorize innocent people, period. If them being carried by 6 is necessary, then so be it. That goes for my own family as well.
@@malekkushimuzik3580 Comprehension is a Hella of a thing, no where in my comment stated that we should allow them to terrorize persons because of their mental status. I'm speaking about us being educated on mental health so that we can seek MEDICAL help for our loved ones and stop being quick to label them as mad or a family favorite is to blame it on witchcraft, that shit needs to stop. There are MANY signs, it starts off with the little things and then is when you seek help, don't wait till they turn harden criminals. Also they are very aware of right from wrong but their brain won't allow them to do what is right, you won't see it from that point of view because fortunately your brain isn't imbalanced.
He have bipolar?
Purpose can't die but you shall live yo declare the word of the Lord.
I have to remember this man. I was a single mom, I worked 7 days a week to pay for him to go to Christian school, summer camps every year for 2 months at a time, vacations, braces, sports, and other activities.
I did this out of love. I wanted him to never feel like he wasn't given the best chance to enjoy life.
This was a mistake.
I did too much for him, and he never knew what is was like to work hard, and struggle.
If he learned this, he would appreciate the beautiful life he was given.
Instead he's an ungrateful, rude, mean damaged spoiled brat...
He was a parent who
wanted God's best for his Son...Condolences to him.
My father always said: "If Yu caan hear, Yu will feel!" Dad did his best. Hoping his son is in Jehovahs memory. Prayers for you my friend. 😞🙏🏾
As he described the captured reaction of his granddaughter hearing the death of her father, I couldn't cease the tears that escaped my eyes. I could only place myself in her shoes for just a moment and have a mere understanding of what that feels like. Oh my...prayers to the family.
I cried too😢 😭 🤧
@@crack689 I couldn't stop the tears. I had to pause the video for a moment. It's so heartbreaking. 😥
@@Moochistrawberry7021 ihu 😢😢😢only once I could of watch it
I hope he stronger than yesterday 🙏🏿
I'm crying this is painfully sad. Imagine this boy so full of wickedness he threw a stone at his dad because he caught him doing badness !!!!!!! Once you roll with God the Devil plays even more with your loved ones to bring you down. God 1st everytime🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 this guy is a soldier of God evangelising and saving lives he's a beautiful gift to the world❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love my Jamaican neighbors here in Loiza,Puerto Rico and is always a pleasure to here them talk specially people like this gentleman in this video. A real warrior talking truth with his heart and accepting the reality about his son R.I.P. & God bless this brother ✊🏾.
I don't think you have Jamaicans living in loiza .they are down island people st Kitts Antigua Trinidad. But not from Jamaica.
Wow the pain and honesty of this faada am moved with tears
Youths dem heart hardened. God give us ears to ear please.
Wow this OG is a real father. Respect sir. You did your best.
Dad was once a bad man and the sad thing is that his son did not get the chance to change like him
I see the man hav a scar pon him face too.
@@nowheelspin d dawg a 1 time guru enuh
D bway a phone tief to
Dah weh dem seh d sins of the father..
@@nowheelspin I disagree EVERY body have a mind of their own , the father couldn't choose for his son . Nuff man thief and their parents weren't thieves , I know good youth who die tragic death and their parents were good people it's just human nature, that's why no finger print is the same , many times your environment have a lot to do with your life, shabba ranks once said he got fight in the music so he was turning to gun , he presented that argument to mama Christie: she said once you turn to gun you have no mother because I raise no criminal she say go and try again never give up .
I hope this man gets some counseling to deal with this trauma that he has endured. He is talking tough but he is in a lot of pain.
The good thing is that he knows Christ..... "The Great Comforter"
Dad, no weapon that form against you shall prosper and the God we serve will turn their devices into foolishness.
I like this daddy, it never use to listen to my mother too and I feel real hard labor. But these children don't hear anymore, but daddy you did your best already God sees yours tears. And these criminals feel them can kill everyone. Tell them again you shall not die but live.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh God if only I had a father much less one like this. I would honor him...... when I met my husband I took him as husband and father. Daddy keep strong please the lord will fight for you!! In Jesus name.
Poor father!!he went through a lot
I think you are hurting inside even tho you are talking like this
"Think" 💀
We need more Father's and mothers like him. Parents always Seychelles was a good boi never hurt no body" and deep in them heart they know them child de bad. God bless ya pops
No need to point out all your son's transgressions obviously he was troubled,and you were not able to reform him, it is in God's hand,let him rest in peace,no more talking
You are a true man of God, you are willing to die for God. Which a lot of parents are not. You are a hero for God. Hats off to you. Continue to lift up God. Nuh badi can't touch you, God has you covered.
Straight up Elder topspect to the brother.
Let the truth set you're heart be free dada
We need more fathers like him
I feel ur pain father, may God heal u and ur granddaughter
This man is literally speaking to his son's spirit and still hurting from his child's mistakes. Children suffer from parents mistakes and parents suffer from their children's mistakes yet we must not cease is praying for one another.
I hear the hurt in this fathers voice.He loves his son unconditionally.But father,you did the right thing,speak out.Not many are going to like this,only the real people will.
Wow, this is a real father, and what a change in his life. I can see he loved his son.
Strong man of God sad story youths today are lost😥
I have the utmost respect for this man and wish other parents would take the same step
Man, dis dread!
Hope u fine peace bredda.
Truth sets the soul free. This man is what we call a "true human being, a parent, not only to his own biological offspring, but the father to his nation." Yes he does feel pain, but his humane nature, is what depicts humanity in him.
Poor Daddy !
Dad you did your best.. He was an adult and chose his own path..
Amen
Oh my I went through this with my child and I understand the lesson, and the deliverance that he tried to give his child. May his son rest in power! God Blessings be to all that is going through something. Stay strong and know that God is our Savior and he sees and knows all.
When man on earth has done their best the angel does better daddy God will fight ur battles joy come in the morning
Need more real people like this yo
A real dad speaking,no weapon formed against you shall prosper
My God heal your broken 💔 Dad, may he guide and protect you from the enemy 🙏 ❤
Hats off to you Dad, I respect you, may God be your strength ❤❤
It wasn't just his son obsession
It's a whole generation if we are to reverse 1,500 killings a year we must remind our children of the consequences of their actions
MY heart goes out to this farther . When a parent cannot get to the heart of their child it is very hard to live with. How do I get to the heart to softened it. How do I help this person that I know is lost and cannot find their way to reality. You pray to God for guidance but it seems that the answer is not coming fast enough.
On target my dear !on target. Search for DR DHARIUS DANIELS...5 PEOPLE YOU CANNOT HELP.Listen to him and share with other parents . It has helped me.
Lord cover him under you wings protect him with you blood lord nothing like the pain and tears of a parents
Wow....I feel this pain. It is very painful to be treated with utter contempt by one's children. Prayers to this man who has obviously suffered so much!
If every father was like this man alot of children would be better an less violence would be in Jamaica
And everywhere else if done properly meaning by living a clean and proper life for the baby child to learn from the very beginning! Not all this do as I say not as I do and the child looking at you living slack from his cradle up. What we as parents show them as infants is where the biggest impression, their earliest impressions are learned. Start teaching good the earlier the better; not after bad impressions have already taken root, Now the child has to unlearn bad behavior. Good luck in a situation like that. I’m yet to see anyone unring a bell.
“You can’t blame the youth”
( Peter Tosh).
God bless you, you did all you could talking with this heart felt conviction God loves when we speak the truth in season and out of season even when it hurts.Lord please have more dads like this humble man 🙏🏻
The truth will hurt Daddy I feel your pain keep strong in the Lord He will see u through all this u shall not die but live because the Lord is the strength and defense of your life I declare this all over your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth amen 🙏
Be careful who you give unconditional love to , just because someone is related to you, does not mean you have to love them, they’re just part of your gene pool, you must love people who have admiration of your highest value and respect who you are, and those people are called family
woow thats so powerful
We have a duty to raise our children to the best of our ability providing them with food, shelter, clothing, education and good morals. I hope that this young, criminal man was parented well from his birth. Was the "tree" bent from it was young? Was he provided with a stable, loving, disciplined home? While the father was living his life of crime, what was the example he was setting for his son? Let this be a teaching moment for all of us.
I pray other youths take caution we pray for a better Jamaica only in Jesus Name
@@lindabrown0 Soooo well said!!!!
Thank you
My Brother you have done your best for your son .You have introduced him to the Gospels of Christ and that's the greatest invention a man can give to anyone. If anyone should kill the flesh they do you good, there's a Heavenly home waiting for you. I WILL be praying for you God will hide you in the shadow of the rock where no man can do you any harm. Don't be afraid God is with you.
I really feel this father pain...can u imaging how this father talk to his son about the company he is keeping and he never hear him...i hope this is a lesson to all these young youth out there
My heart goes out to this father. What an example for all fathers to follow through with their sons. The situation would not be violent as it is. This father has faith love and a lot of strength.
This is a man who understands the judgement of God, the word says if you love mother or father more than me, u have no part with me. No matter what or who it is. As believers it is our duty to correct our ppl and admonish them with the word. And in doing that not being a hypocrite at the same time. I applaud this elder, he followed the Word. It hurts, I know it does but woe unto those who call evil good and good evil. Thank you elder for being a real man of God!
Crime no pay you live by the gun you died by the gun sad daddy
Thanks to the reporter for interviewing this father. It will help to relief of some of the pain. Father God sees you have done your best. The demons can kill your body but not your soul. Just remember God will be with you always. Keep on spreading God's words. You are his servant and friend.
So sorry my brother I will be praying for you ..I know how much you work hard and love the lord and I'm sure he will be with you in this hard times one love Brother!!
Guidance n protection popz.🙏🏾 why people want to threaten this man over his own son. Obviously he's hurt, but hes speaking his truth. He tried but him son just choose otherwise. Life is precious n fragile I wish we actually see the beauty, enjoy life help we brother n sister climb up the ladder. No hate no badmind just peace n love. 😢❤
The things parents have to go through.. Smh... "Honor thy mother and thy father that your days be long upon the earth".
I wish all parents were like this dad. I feel his pain. God is in control.
My heart goes out for you daddy. You speak the truth, God goes with you. Is the times we are living in, as long as you talked to him and try to put him on the right track, your conscience set you free. Many youths of today are not listening and that is part of their down fall in life, I know a lady that didn't cry at her son's funeral because she knows the stuff that he was doing and she talked and warned him to change from his wicked ways but he didn't listen until he met his demise. Keep strong Evangelist, its heart breaking but keep strong, you have done your best by talking to him.
Father I feel your pain but God will carry you through when the devil can't get you he will come after your kids keep the faith daddy.
So sorry for that dad ,these yong .people who going around with killer and gang dont know that what you sow you will reap.
True word 💖👏👍
Good father...💯
Powerful testimony sir. May your story be helpful to many.
I would go to this man church he has God in him, he has integrity, God bless you
This is how u change culture n mindset in ja when the foundation get serious about raising and loving our yutes
I've learned throughout the years that when you pray on behalf of others the father definitely hears. However, ultimately, those who you pray for have got to receive the love of the father for themselves! Time is on no man's side. Unfortunately, a lot of people think they have all the time in the world to make right their wrong and that is just simply not the case! May the heavenly father comfort this man with the spirit of peace that surpasses all understanding! 💔💯🙏
Of all parents and society would take a page from this great father, great not because he is a billionaire but has unmatched integrity.
God bless you
This is so sad. It was a well put together piece.
Oh gosh, such a good solid man. I appreciate parents who are real with themselves.
