Brent Bunting Underwent Reconstruction Surgery …

Vision’s International Bureau has been informed that Brent Bunting, son of Peter Bunting, former National Security Minister, under the PNP is still in hospital.  Reports are that he has had facial reconstruction surgery to reset a fractured jaw.

Bizarre

The whole incident which led to this most unfortunate incident which could have been fatal, is incredible.  In a nutshell …there was a noise disturbance  …  the aggrieved party who in this case is Brent Bunting who allegedly took matters in his own hands. Were hot words uttered? … from all appearances Brent got the bitter end of the stick.

Perspective

Dispute

This is a teachable moment for all. We should not attempt to take the law in our own hands.

When there is a dispute, summon the police … that is what they are there for.  Our tax dollars pay them. Do you have another perspective? This whole incident is bizarre to say the least. We know very little more.

Criminal Charges

The combatants have been slapped with criminal charges. Were they under the influence of alcohol or some other mind influencing substance like some dope?  As this matter seems heading for the courts, we have to withhold further comment. We trust the judicial system in Jamaica to sort things out. It is able as it is world class.

A popular music producer Anju Blaxx was also charged criminally. The incident occurred in upper St. Andrew, Ja. W.I.

We should always trust the system …. it avoids problems.

What values were passed on to the combatants by guardians/parents? You were not taught to talk this over peacefully?
