>The police have been informed.

>Police warned the concert venues, the White Pearl Club in

>performed his hit songs calling for gay people to be burned, drowned,

>Also...
>Three top Jamaican reggae artists whose songs advocate the
>murder of gay people are committing a crime, and people who
>promote and distribute their songs are aiding and abetting criminal
>offences. This is the conclusion of Detective Chief Inspector Clive
>Driscoll of the Diversity Directorate at New Scotland Yard.
>The three singers under investigation are Elephant Man, Bounty
>Killer and Beenie Man. Their songs variously urge the shooting,
>burning and drowning of gay people. .

>Action may be taken against not only the singers and their record
>companies, but also against high street record stores HMV and
>Virgin, BBC Radio 1Xtra, and the BBC and Amazon websites.
>Driscoll says they are distributing and promoting CDs inciting
>homophobic violence and murder. Charges could be bought in
>Britain under the Public Order Act 1986, the common law offences
>of incitement and conspiracy to murder, and under the solicitation
>to murder clause of the Offences Against The Person Act 1861.

>There are lots of other examples - but you're not worth the effort.
