Vivian Blake and Corruption
Vivian Blake an old photo
This man, Vivian Blake was in a US federal prison, for eight years for being part of a notorious, violent drug gang called the Shower Posse. I have written about him on this blog before - see that post here.
Now I’ve come across him a few times today. Firstly because of the BET programme on him, as part of their American Gangster series – a longer movie is planned.
Blake was released and deported to Jamaica in January 2009. Here’s an interview he gave then.
Then there were rumours, written up here in The Star that he had been killed.

In response to that recent rumour, he talks about how he thinks the police, working on behalf of the politicians in Jamaica want him dead. Read what he says here.
This guy Blake is really making waves, he was a guest speaker at this ‘breakfast club’ event where the author of the article talks about attending a high level meeting on corruption in Jamaica.
If he is being targetted by the politicians and / or police, that says a lot about corruption in Jamaica but also about society. Blake is profitting now from his criminal lifestyle, in fame and fortune, his celebrity profile will probably protect him although nobody is untouchable, expecially in JA.
This brother and I were in the same 10 man cell in F.C.I. Mckean Were he and I became close. He(Vivian Blake)is a genuine man. I want him to know that I have always thought of him as a friend!
For the record everyone on the compound loved him! He treated me as if i were his son. That meant alot to me because I wasn’t around him because of who he was. ( I didn’t even know until he let me read the book)Our relationship was solidified after that!

Here is a man responsible for between over 1000 -1,400 murders…depending on which which news report you read. AND his previous lifestyle promotes the negative stereotype of Jamaicans as drug dealers and criminals. I see no reason to celebrate Mr. Blake’s lifestyle. Mr Blake should still be locked up…
DUDUS KNO ABOUT BLAKE DEATH.
interesting. what do u know?
