The Jamaican Shower Posse: A Family Business

From Riches To Deathposse 2

In 1992, life for the Coke family changed instantly. Jamaican police at their door, their lucrative business under intense pressure from the law, and their paterfamilias behind bars awaiting an unpleasant future in the United States. And things only got worse. Coke’s two sons, Mark and Christopher, had joined their father in the drug world. The violence of it all caught up with Mark, who was shot to death.

As Mark was laid to rest, his grieving father sat in his cell. No doubt contemplating how things got so out of hand. But the thoughts about the death of his son, and the hurt that fell upon his other family members, friends, and loved ones made place for thoughts about survival and death when a fire broke out in his prison cell. There is no information about who started the fire or why, but Lester Coke did not survive. He died on the same day as the funeral of his son Mark. Before the United States could ever bring him to justice.

  1. In My Opinion This Man has done more for his people than Mr.Obama does for the hood,you dont see Barack in the hood trying to help nobody and he once organized in the projects in Chicago.but Here He goes after this man thats using the drug buisness to provide lights gas food clothing and education for his people where he come from,seems like Obama could learn a few things,and also why has Obama not created a equal employment Bill for Ex Offenders since 70% of this Countrys prison population,and convicted felons are black?
