Dear Sir/Madam,

                          I am writing this letter to express my feelings on the attack on Brother Man as well as my feelings towards rastafarianism.

      As it relates to the attack on Brother Man, I think that it was unjust. I say this because the people who were once looking to him ans asking him for healing when they themselves were sick or their loved ones, turned on him in less than a split second.

     Instead of going to Brother Man himself to find out exactly what took place, they ridiculed him even though he was innocent.

     Although he was accused of using counterfeit coins, committing murder and rape, he ignored those comments and still wished them "piece an' love".

     However, the people in the lane brutally beat him and a woman who tried to shield him with her own body.

    The accusations made were directed towards a man with dread locks and since Brother Man fits that description, so they were not going to listen to his excuses.

    In addition, as it relates to my feeling towards rastafarianism, I do not have anything against it. It is a Religion practiced by Rastafarians. Just as other religions, they have certain practices which they follow, they have leaders, followers and rules which are portrayed in the other religions. Therefore I do not seen the need t have anything negative to say about it.

    Concluding, I am still holding strong to my view that Brother Man's beating was totally unjust and also I have nothing against Rastafarianism.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

Laurencia John
