Much of the language and speech from this video is unchanged to this day. Close your eyes when listening, you'd think this is present day.
Language doesn't change all that much in one lifetime.
Indeed tribalism still gwan
Longtime Jamaica did get phuck with violence.
@@Footballsissue Frozen in time more like, which continues to plague Jamaica to this day.
Truly
I'm just a 17 y/o trying to understand what happened in our Jamaican history.
Tell your principal and teachers, young people need a thorough understanding of their home country while they’re still young
zion I’ll be apart of the revolution
The CIA fucked it up
Mi n u sa
jJordanBbanks Jamaica = a Slave camp controlled by the two political parties on behalf of the British queen
Terrible and forgettable era in Jamaica! Ignorance has been our Achilles heel. These poor uneducated people were sacrificial lambs.
And it still remains
Sacrificial lambs who are repeatedly led to the slaughter of the polling stations through consistently being made to believe that an 'elected' minority will govern in their best interest.
They reject education of their own volition.
@@ratbatnufftime2861 the elected have a responsibility to engineer social change in the best interest of the electorate, regardless of opposing 'volition'. Ideally, this is how it should be. Was it not social engineering that led to the circumstances we are seeing in this video? The people are culpable for having shirked their responsibility to hold the government and elected representatives responsible but the latter are beyond culpability.
Karl Henry shut the f up
The smallest child their bigger than me now lol😅
I was 10 years old worst election ever in Jamaica when seaga won I've never experienced anything like that in Jamaica election again I've to go walk through gunshots to get medical assistant from severe asthma attack it was terrible God 🙏 help our nation
Slept under my bed every night, lived right round from Waltham Park road. A gully separated us, nuff shot fire, and man a run through the yard. I think we lived on Bloomsbury Rd.
@@jacquelinegrayden4706 My mum lived on Bay Farm Road, she was only 3 but remembers running away from burning buildings and hiding under her bed from gun shots
Keep waiting for the man name God foooooool
One love to my Jamaican bredrens from domincan Republic"stay strong"

Back when jcans police officer wasn't all that corrupted
Politics is the biggest criminal and all these ministers should be arrested because they know and see exactly what it's doing to the community but refuse to do something about it on their end, they always come after the public.
This was part of the geopolitical rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union (1947-1991).
Still going on these days,only that China is the new power breaker and has much influence in Jamaica and the rest of the world
CUBA & Soviet politics never reached Jamaica before 1974!!!
2:58 i still see those buildings in Downtown standing strong today no joke
MoeshaScott maud
What's it like to live there?
Rttt❗
Yup. That's charles Street n west Street n the building where the guys cursing to their left is braithwaite funeral home now
@@caitgems1 it was lovely but crime n violence turf war got things messy now
Wow, amazing footage...great post.
And the 1980 was as worst. The security forces and fellow jamaicans murdered each other, but at what cost, did illiteracy and bunch of promises played a part with the help of a certain country brought Jamaica to it's knees. Currently gun violence is rampant and lawlessness is crippling my birth land of Jamaica.
Under Seaga order!! Him should a dead long time. Hope he rottening in hell now.
Jamaica been a violent country from 1920s do your homework
“…THIS Jamaica makes present day Jamaica look like Disneyworld
Look how everybody skinny - Today dem all now overfed from KFC 😅
I see the actual shooting scenes were cut out, but thanks.
Where in Kingston did this occurred?
this is almost comical to watch.its a bad situation but loook at the cops with there .38 spinners and a shot gun.the cops in ja now are armed like they are in iraq or syria.
Because they have no choice in the matter.
Lol was thinking the same thing
Huge change
The ghettos in Kingston Jamaica I know is much different compare to the housing projects where I live now on the main land of North America but to me is stupid that people killing each other over politics. White man who been elected to rule Jamaica with the help of the CIA who fight against another man who is very light skin who could pass for white who want to have close relationship with Cuba. It was cold war era between USA verse Russia while Jamaica stuck in the middle.
I could say the same thing about the crips and bloods in America and say it's stupid they're killing each other over colors; but of course it goes way deeper than that
Ignorance, ignorance and more ignorance... only God can save us. After 40yrs and instead we have gotten worse, dumber and dumber
more murders now on average than during 1980 election
So you see this happening long time don’t blame now a days youths memba enuh a the elders set it this way sum 38 years ago!
Viral Venom real talk alway blame we
Thank you finally someone remember something I personally think now a day's youth weak compared to these man
But we should be smart enough to stop the vicious cycle or else our kids and their kids will fall in the same trap
Seaga was no choir boy
38 years ago when them a fire some 38 ina some 38 year old elda skin
Mainstream media is very selective... This is a highly edited video!
THE SYSTEM OF JAMAICA 🇯🇲 IS NO HELP FOR THE PEOPLE FROM DAY ONE JUST LOOK HOW IT USE TO BE BACK IN THE DAYS.NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGE SO FAR😭😭😭 GOD KNWS WE CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE
It was worst bk then
However this is from 1976 not 1980
Which community in this video?
That’s on Charles street downtown Kingston a in a community they call spanglers
@@chadwashington4074 They're at the corner of Charles Street and West Street. The blue wall the cops leaned against is that of All Saints Infant School. The entrance to KPH is just around the corner on North St.
How do you work out it's from 1976 and not 1980?
I thought so too - but you can hear them say Seaga won - so it has to be '80
When I was a bwoy, I could not wear red or green before they say I belong to a party.
No sports day that year
More Jamaica 1980 elections PLEASE if you have.
Crazy that my Jamaican dad lived during this time.
I'm not Jamaican but it's interesting to watch footage from when you were alive. I was about 18 months old when this was going on. I live near Birmingham in England where there are a lot of Jamaicans.
More people lived than died during this time. As a matter of fact, less people died during this turmoil than what we now experience annually. So what is crazy is that we are still living during this time.
My grandma was a preteen in this time and she spoke the story to us, all she remembered was hearing gunshots
Jah kno🤦🏽♂️a long time we dunce as a nation enuh
No that was a small minority. Now it's the majority you included
Jamar Sterling on we still are
I think poverty and uneducated plays a big part in the jamaican society.
All the middle class left during this crisis.
All that is left is pure idiots
Dark times for my people
Nothing has changed. ........***
41 years ago shit who here in 2021
And you have some old people want to force the young generation Inna the old ways right now we wise than them kmt me bug really follow up politics a f*"kry the whole a dem
No Education, no jobs no trade schools.
The JLP and PNP rivalry is quite similar to our present day political climate in the USA with the fanatics of our 2 party factions
THE YEAR MY MOTHER WAS MURDERED 😭💔😭
Hush bbz
Sorry to hear
@@raheimgordon295 weirdo
Most of these cops appear to be around 30 yrs old. That means they're in their 70s today. Most have already passed on I'm sure.
wow. i remember. them days. i was 6yold yes. Kingston 13. nice. VIDEO. god help. Us
Bowens road/Chinese cemetery
Not much have changed, just newer vehicles and more powerful weaponry.
anyone else come here while reading Marlon James?
My mom and dad remembers this 1st hand when they were teenagers livin there
Seaga: Manley can win the election but not the war
He lost this election
😢😢😢 my country I love you so much, this has been going on too long
Was brutal. Hope Jamaica never see those times again. Fi real
This was b4 I was born yet very recognizable, I know those streets

@@mizzmention8555 some of di gun man dem wat run away 1980 dey in bronx dem old up ya now dem sell dem weed and send dem kids to college fi tek care of dem
Shan Cole yuppp!!! I see a lot of them on a daily
@@shancole4926 hahahaha that's funny maybe true thanks
the clip from around 7min mark which is very famous as used in many documentaries over the yrs i spoke to the man who filmed it long time ago and he told me it was entirely setup for the camera that day, there is a bit of footage missing where you see the man running across shooting his gun, all that bit is apparently staged. I can't verify it, i wasn't there but it maybe wise not to take everything in these clips as factual.
What was the man's reasoning to think it was staged - mere suspicion, or something solid?
@@Angelica._.officalll he was apparently the man who filmed the thing and paid to set it up, im sure alot of what he filmed was real but he said the shootout clip which has been used in many later reggae documentaries was something he paid them to do, look at 2:44min for white lady sat in the line of fire :) i wasnt there so i can't be sure, i just share what the film maker told me. The policeman at 2:13min also doing alot of posing :) who knows, maybe someone who was there can shed more light on it.
@@reggaefilms The problem with the theory is the public seems real to me, and the bullets are real as well.
My guess is your friend is most likely lying about being the camera man; probably use that an angle to gain credibility. He might have been there in the crowd, who knows. But who's going to believe the conspiracy theory of some ordinary dude in a crowd.
Is your friend still alive?
Look at those kids and men i was born 15 years later no idea what it was like back then lol
What the fuck is the white girl doing here in hell ? Check @ 2:44 !
Good video to feel how the pressure was at that time for a reggae fan.
Good question
I swear she did some time travel because why would she be in that area like that during that time sitting down.
sh'es with the television crew, for sure
yeah , she seems to just be chillin,, not a care in the world.WTF
@@markreid5758 international media... they were there as part of the campaign to make Jamaica look bad. You hear Trinity telling the reporters how to report too (against Spanglers).
Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plait
I&I natty dreadlocks
Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plait
But I&I natty dreadlocks
Remember way back when, when rasta had no friend
When he was down in his luck and couldn't find a buck
Babylon and his friends, there ain't no end I&I penitentiary
Fire fe bunn all political parties. All that done was separate the people of Jamaica. Instead of fighting beside each other. Glad over the years its calmed down. It's no where near as bad as it used to be.
Early Bird was the don for Mathews Lane around that time. He was also a member of the Spanglers gang.
If this was 1980 it couldnt be the bird Bucky marshall was alive ...
@@topcat8922 Buckey Marshall died march 1980 jamaica election wasnt till October
@@abdelphipps9838 Yes but bird was the don as yet u also had Cow.
@@abdelphipps9838 Who was running Matthews lane also known as Matches Lane after Bucky death?
@@topcat8922 i would say it was bird cause everyone looked to him and cow because he was more violent
I'm curious to know how Mr. Seaga felt about the state of the country from the time he entered politics vs. his last days. Rest in Peace Sir.
The devil doesn't have a conscience!
Wow beautiful smile greetings from New york
@@VybzKartelClassics what rubbish
Do you recognise anyone in the video?
The dude at 00:31 is Donovan stewart Aka Mr Baker, he’s the guy that was trending after killing a robber in Miami🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Dude been bout his business since in his prime
@@Matoto71 Thanks for that info. It is clearly him .
@@Matoto71 how do yall kno?
I live in that vicinity and it's really not different. still the same. Thank God ppl stop political wars, but they doing senseless wars still
The 80s style was so in lmao everybody even in afganistan had them clothes lollll
You're looking at political violence in JA and all you notice is the clothes. You're very shallow.
Now look at their offsprings in 2023 SMH 🤦🏾♂️
I do remember that year that's the same year I left Jamaica
This looks more like before 1980 to me. I think it's 1976.

Yvonne Anderson me too the forgotten city
Yvonne Anderson lucky you
@Mr Lex Manley and Seaga were equally disgusting. Stop caping for Massa
,...I was visiting Jamaica at that time...I was right there in uptown Kingston... liguanea.
This was the end of Jamaica
christopher bent shut f up so what about bolt shell Ian bob marley and more u probledont know any of them
Former K.G.B. I can read and write and write I have 2 phds and I use to go to Stanford your American aren’t you you can’t speak about something you don’t know stop trying to say you know Jamaica because you go to the fancy villas and use irie a lot you have no right to be talking about Jamaica you are a classical American thinking you know a bout Jamaica you don’t know anything about Jamaica and it’s true culture you idiot
Former K.G.B. Are you Jamaican
@@bowmaster1243 people like you embarass us Jamaicans. You're here telling everyone to shut up like annuh we mind we free fi talk. How you one dunce suh!!
@@dearempress19 Its sicking man
Perfect place for tourist to learn about the real Jamaica 😀
Michael Williams lol
Lmao
Michael Williams looks more like downtown Chicago to me
Notice Michael Manley brigadisters in Khaki
Jdf
Unbelievable!
And just 2think all jamaican wanted was to smoke ganja and play reggae music, so What the fuck happened
Poor police training ..
3:41
@2:48, is that a AP journalist sitting on the ground?
@Former K.G.B. how do you know I'm black? Why you said "your people"? Do you know where I'm from? I asked a question, " is that a Associated Press journalist sitting on the ground "? Where did I mention "White man" in that statement?
That's what I thought too that she has to be a foreign journalist.
@@JoyHarrison a lot of them were agents
@@Amidat That too, agents disguised as journalists.
Hmmm 🤔 where are they now
This seems more like 1976 than 1980.
How do you work it out?
@@ajs41 it appears I was wrong - it seems it was 1980... Seaga won that election. Trinity was his bodyguard and you see shootout with him. You could hear them saying shooters were coming from Luke Lane
This should be played inside the house of parliament and see if they have any shame ....at least we can understand the urchins on the street what ignorant souls they be...but the ones who claim to lead.ahh what an indictment...and some of them still sit in the honorable house or at least their heirs are....sad but for those who hold to prophecy it must be this way till the reckoning...
Sorry Anthony.... They would just defend themselves. They would feel no guilt or remorse
Dark times in Jamaica history also most of the killing that happen in 1980 elections was
between the Olympic garden and Waterhouse section we're like 500 lost their lives not in downtown Kingston true story
Jamaica been a violent country from 1920s do your homework nuff said
Im from 2022 and this in the old days
I remember this I was 13
I was 9
Looks just like Tivoli Gardens.
Matthews lane that it look like
No vest or protection
We still in the era
Woooow I can't believe this Wooow unbelievable
Sad..n it continues until this very day..smh..the ppl are their own worst enemy 😢
4:05 is he going to snipe them with a shotgun???
I'm in total shock & speechless that Jamaica had helicopters in 1980
Vinmoonsu lol o plz
Jamaica has always had stuff everyone thinks they didn't.
Your statement is an insult. Jamaica is not that backwards like what you think.
Why would you be? They had railroads before America. It's corruption that bankrupted Jamaica.
Lol what? Wow, interesting that you thought that. Well at least you know now.
sr.rose George
The dude at 00:31 is Donovan stewart Aka Mr Baker, he’s the guy that was trending after killing a robber in Miami🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Dude been bout his business since in his prime

West Kingston behind Kingston Public Hospital
Charles Street and Matthews Lane intersection
Omg so true😢
This is how the police should be still dressing.....them shof off now since them have back pocket on pants....
