Half-Way Tree came to a halt yesterday after a man climbed a broadcasting tower and threatened to jump if a local radio station did not play his music. He was eventually coaxed down into safety. I’m not sure if the station played his music.
This web site claims his song was played. It also claims the man is suicidal. In any case, this was a tragic event that ended well, at least for now. Let’s hope this man gets help.
A sad story and yet another example of the prevalence of mental health issues in Jamaica that are simply not being addressed. I hope he gets help, too.
Very sad. And apparently people were laughing and cheering him on to jump.
