Angelle A. Cameron attacks media for ‘Long Look’ brand
“It doesn’t matter what the media puts in, the Long Look Stickette stands for a purpose, it is the grounds of emancipation of our BVI,” Cameron told residents.
Cameron also reminded residents of the community that it was three years ago, Deputy Premier and Minister for Natural Resources and Labour Dr The Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering (R7) rededicated the Stickette so that persons could remember what it means.
“It doesn’t matter what the headline says, we know what that rededication means,” she stated.
Main host for the programme Mr Birchfield B. Lettsome aka DJ Bertrum did acknowledge that there are negative elements in the community but added, “Those things are just the minority. We have a lot of positive people, we have a lot of positive young men especially doing big things.”
‘Get real’
However, as Cameron sought to spike up the crowd with her attack on the media, a man who was sitting on the fence of the community’s health centre, said “Get real miss, the killings and shooting happening right here at this Stickette. They don’t have another Stickette in the BVI, is this one and the bloodshed taking place right here. What you want the media say? That is on the road far from the Stickette?”
The man who is also a resident of Long Look, in the presence of other residents, said that it is time leaders and members of the community open up and tell the truth of what is going wrong in the community.
“We covering up a lot of things in here. If we stop that and let the police know who the bad man them be and why other bad man from Rock (St Thomas), Purcell and West side coming here and shooting up we brothers this whole things would stop but because we covering up we brothers, uncles and fathers the media will have to continue to write about bloodshed in Long Look and is will happen at the Stickette again.”
He ended saying, “Get real woman, Burch said it right we got bad but we got lots a good people here too.”
It was on November 17, 2016 that 24 year old Estevan Jefferson was gunned down in Long Look near the Stickette. on December 12, 2016 David Springette aka Mooney was shot in the thigh in the area of the Stickette.
One can hardly forget the shooting death of Cornel Melbourne Francis' who was gunned down on the night of May 9, 2013 while at The Stickette. Four men clothed in black allegedly dealt him several shots in clear view of others. At the time he was said to be in the company of a few friends who were forced to flee the scene as the gruesome drama unfolded.
Meanwhile, Cameron represented the territory at the Mrs Globe pageant in Hainan, China, where she made it to the semi-final round and was nominated for four prestigious awards, walking away with one and was voted # 5 on the top five People’s Choice Awards.
