Mayor concerned over feeding of homeless


Recently, the Mayor of Kingston Senator Angela Brown Burke called a meeting with key stakeholders pertaining to the feeding of the homeless on the streets of Kingston, particularly in the downtown Kingston area.

She was concerned about both the way in which they were fed and the locations at which they are fed and pointed to the danger, nuisance and unhygienic situations that have arisen out of the ad hoc feeding plan.

Stakeholders from various churches and voluntary organisations all agreed that a schedule should be prepared to accommodate the feeding of as many homeless as possible each day. What obtains now is that some persons will get up to five meals per day and some none.

convenient places

The KSAC in partnership with these stakeholders have agreed to work out convenient places for the homeless to be fed instead of being fed on the street. Five places identified so far are The Open Arms Drop-in Centre, Marie Aitkens Night Shelter, Mona Baptist, Bethel Baptist and the Salvation Army.

The organised feeding schedule will be available to all interested meal providers ‹ groups, organisations or individuals. Everyone is being implored to adhere to the places named as feeding centres so that the various feeding programmes can be carried out under better hygienic conditions and with greater dignity to the less fortunate as we continue to serve them. As such, feeding on the streets of Kingston & St Andrew as of September 28, 2014 will be strictly prohibited.

Madman paid $100 to have sex - Crowd watches him and homeless woman in downtown Kingston

A mentally ill man and a homeless woman were the ‘stars’ of a short pornographic film, which was done by the pair for only $100.

The movie was reportedly filmed in the downtown Kingston area sometime ago, in front of a large crowd.

Throughout the more than two-minute clip, it was the man’s sexual prowess or lack thereof, which was the main source of entertainment for the onlookers.

The man who could be seen attempting to penetrate the woman, but failed miserably, much to the disappointment of the spectators.

“Shub it inna it …” one of the onlookers instructed the fumbling man, to which he responded, “ah rise it ah rise, seet rise! It rising!” the man declared while flashing his instrument as evidence to the onlookers.

But after multiple attempts, the man failed to penetrate the woman.

Getting his money’s worth

In apparent frustration and bent on getting his money’s worth, another spectator instructed, “Use yuh mouth man! Use yuh mouth!” to which the man without hesitation, proceeded to perform fellatio on the woman, much to the delight of the spectators.

Another spectator quipped, “yuh nyam too much… that’s why yuh … lazy” as he continued to struggle to engage in intercourse with the woman.

But despite being at the centre of the spectacle, the woman appeared oblivious to what was happening to her, even as her ‘co-star’ attempted to rouse a response from her by attempting to remove the top of her dress, she was still unmoved.

The woman simply laid there quietly with her dress hiked to her knees, legs splayed with her hands resting on her stomach as the man did his bidding.

No reports

After his failed performance, an irate spectator began to demand a refund after his expectations of a grand show were unfulfilled.

“Gi we back we $100, cause yuh … nah stand up! Gi we back we … money!” the man demanded.

Unwilling to relinquish his payment, the man made another feeble attempt to penetrate the woman, “yuh see mi … a stand up?” to which an onlooker jeered, “yuh waa some Viagra! Dat nuh in deh!”

The STAR contacted Head of the Kingston Central Division, Superintendent Michael Scott, and he stated that he has received no reports about persons engaging in sexual activities with homeless or mentally ill people in the area.

Meanwhile, Head of the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse, (CISOCA), Veronica Gilzean, told The STAR, “I have heard of it anecdotally, but we have received no such reports.”
