OH NO!!!! MOST FAMOUS JAMAICAN DANCER SHOT AND KILLED


 







December 27, 2008. KINGSTON (Reuters) – The dancer and choreographer who created the dance used by Jamaica sprinter Usain Bolt to celebrate his victories at the Beijing Olympics was shot to death at a Kingston nightclub on Friday, police said.

David Alexander Smith, known in entertainment circles as "Ice," was shot in the head and chest during an argument with two men. They then took his keys and fled in his car, police said.

Smith created the "Gully Creeper" that Bolt danced each time he won a race at the Olympics last August.

Bolt set world records in the 100 meters and 200 meters and was a member of the Jamaican quartet that won gold in the 4-by-100 meter relay.

Jamaica has one of the world's highest per-capita murder rate. More than 1,500 people have been murdered in the Caribbean island this year.

    When America [EXPLETIVE] jamaica eat it.

    I'm really saddened by the loss of such a talented individual my condolences goes out to the family. I am however not surprised that jamaica has the highest murder rate in the world they should be ashamed but the government is corrupted and they are the ones who are arming these young men with the guns for their own selfish political career. Not to mention the people in the country are also protecting these gun men and are intimidated by them. What can we do just hope that the british government takes back controll of the island and maybe then the jamaicans will wake up and see what the rest of the world is seeing that they are insane and killing their future. I was born in jamaica nad wouldn't even consider to retire there never unless things change and i can trust the government. When America [EXPLETIVE] jamaica eat it.

    I'm sure it's tough to see your tribe in such a state but keep your head up. I know that we as a people are merciless on one another and eager to shed blood in the name of pride,greed,Satan,etc.... As Black Americans we suffer the same plauge. Peace and blessings to the righteous and God fearing of Jamaica and the African diaspora, The wicked will receive divine punishment please believe that!

    All over the world, black, white, rich, or poor, people are being killed, murdered, robbed, hurt emotionally and otherwise. Why? Because satan is on his job - steal, kill, and destroy. He is doing all that he can to destroy the human race because he knows his time is up.

    We must continue to have hope and to continue to spread the love of Jesus in the world and not get caught up in what's going on. Folks, raise your faith level to a new high. Raise your love level to an even higher level than before. We are going to need to start showing more love toward one another. JESUS IS ON HIS WAY BACK! Will you be ready when he comes - or will you be left behind?

    I don't shed any tears for those idiots. Jamaicans are some of the most backwards thinking people in the world. With laws on the books about cursing and "buggery" They can't hold an election without major violence, the police are corrupt, and all the people down there want to do is "follow fashion" and emulate the worst America has to offer. America shares part of the blame. We should not deport Jamaican criminals back to Jamaica, they should be left to rot in jail.

    Its sad to see anyone lose their life like that but there goes a saying, "you live by the gun, you'll die by the gun". This guy was also arrested for murder. He wasn't convicted but that doesn't means that he was innocent (ask OJ).
    How can you be an entertainer and bad man at the same and expect to live a full life. stupid ---I would not be surprise if it was Vibes Cartel because all he is doing is preparing his own funeral.
    Jamaicans its about time we wake up and start respecting ourselves and the values our heroes, (Nany, Garvey, Bustamante, Paul Bogle, Sam Sharpe etc) has set for us.
    None a yuh is more jamaican dan mi, so please stop killing each other like dogs. They need
    to start hanging those bastards that have been creating havoc on the kids and the decent people of Jamaica
    Sounds bitter...yes mi bitta because this is not the Jamaica that I grew up in and it really touch a nerve when I hear these things.

    @NODISC

    Wow...i was just waiting to see some ignorant comment being made about Jamaica again...lol...

    Why call them idiots and the most backwards people in the world??...like...that is such a broad and doltish word to use to define them! backwards in terms of what? technology? crime? what? well...obviously..it can't be technology or eduction... because we americans already know that the educated public of Jamaica are usually very smart and tend to excel greater than most americans in their age group or in their school year in the US...both black and white... and if u don't believe and before u start showing just how intellectually impaired u are..just GOOGLE articles about it online..and u will see exactly what i'm talking about.

    I should know..because Duke is a fine example of that. Most of the kids here that are from Jamaica are usually at the top of our classes because what we do in like the first 2 years of college, they already did in high school..from they were 16 or so... on top of that...we did some research on them when we were looking at third world countries... and we learned that there aren't many jobs or opportunities there ..which has been instilled in their minds from a very tender age... so they naturally have that "competitiveness" and yearning to achieve above expectations while growing up

    that is why their island based university is getting so popular and gaining a lot more worldwide recognition...because their educational system is more advanced and successful than others...that's why we tend to find so much of them living and working in the US in major businesses and companies.

    there are ...what... over 2 MILLION people living on the island and because of the gun men and GANGS that represent what? 1/100th of the population living there... who murdered 1500 presumably innocent people...that gives u a right to classify them as BACKWARDS and IDIOTS?? Ignorance is really a bliss... and what does "laws on the books about cursing and "buggery" mean? Damn...u couldn't even write the sentence properly so that it could make sense...

    yes...i have heard many reports of the police system being corrupt but WOW!!...most police systems are...in England, Africa, Germany, Trinidad ...almost every country has a corrupt police system..some much worst than others and i really don't think that Jamaica's police corruption level is any much more significant than any other

    And wow..thanks for making us Americans look like the we're the ones responsible for other countries climbing that great uphill of crime... because that is exactly what you are implying by saying that they are "following" us and emulating the negative stuff that we "offer" ...

    so are u telling me ...that had Jamaicans not been "exposed" to our "negative ""STUFF""" that they wouldn't have crime issues? u think that those gun men are really thinking about "AMerican Gangster"...a violent movie that i'm sure many of them have seen (they do have cable u know...despite many of you people thinking that they live in huts and get water in buckets from nearby streams etc.)... when they are about to kill a 5 month old baby? or that they're saying "well..an american just killed a man...let me go kill one too because i heard about it on the news or saw it on t.v."? please...quit being ridiculous and stop trying to blame america for all the turmoil in the world... we are about sick of it!

    What they need to focus on as a country is a whole new technique as to how to fight the crime battle...and i'm sure they are trying but sadly, it seems not to be working

    but until ur country (which ever country u come from) can have a 100% or an almost near perfect low crime rate..then i really don't think that we can judge them because although they might have the highest per capita... and although our countries might be larger in mass than theirs...u have many countries with 10,000+ people being murdered for the year

    There"s a lot of comments being made regarding the death of this guy and the crime wave that has been sweeping jamaica. My intent here is to let my voices be heard to the people (politicians, lawyers, educators etc) that this kind of uncivilized killing of each other cannot go on forever.Jamaica is a beautiful county and of course possess some most intelligent and educated people in the world. That's a known fact so there's no need for debate on that topic
    However, we need to protect our youth who keeps falling to these diseases,,,GUNS, PRISON and Homosexuality and AIDS. YOU see the link so don't think black youths are just dying in Jamaica. only.

    Jamaicans are not backward thinking people, we might not be as technologically advanced as other countries or rich even, but we try our best. We are a proud people and we always excel, i don't need to prove that we are intellectual u can use the internet, I'm sure.

    But before you put us on blast, remember crime is everywhere, atleast i don't have to worry about my airports or planes being bombed, or my schools being shot up my crazy students, we are not racists despite our African history.

    Yes crime is our #1 problem, but as a people we try, but i blame the [EXPLETIVE] leaders who just collect our [EXPLETIVE] money and do nothing but arm the less fortunate who need a way out. You talk ignorant, you talk based on the 5 mins of news u get on our country, Jamaica was not built in 5 goddamn mins so 5 mins here n there, u can't know the people or what we feel. I am sick of people classing all Jamaicans, there are bad Jamaicans yes, but we are not all the same, i will not protect them because they bring us shame and tear down what our heroes built.
    it's not just black people who kill, some black on black crime is quite unneccessary, white people kill too , chinese and other asians so please don't be stupid.

    Ice wasn't a saint, this does not mean he deserved it but i mean, you live by the gun you die by it.
    I hope the next time you hear of a crime in Jamaican, you don't say let them kill them each other and die , [EXPLETIVE] stupid people, or whatever it is that u thought. but instead say a prayer. it's not only Jamaican but the whole human race and how we keep wiping each other out. it's not kool
     

    Godwell
    Word of advice to my BLACK people who make a lot of money...

    LEAVE THE HOOD IMMEDIATELY AND STOP PARTYING AT [EXPLETIVE] CLUBS!!!!

    Black people do not adjust well to our own getting a significant amount of money while not having any. Its patetic and yeas, its embarrassing, but it's the truth. Ask Jay, LL, Marbury, Zab Judah and many others.
