The [Jamaican] Shower Posse, classified as “One of the most sophisticated criminal organizations in the world”, is a criminal organization that was founded in Jamaica and extends throughout New York, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, California/San Andreas, Ontario, Quebec, and The United Kingdom, specializing in narcotics trafficking, arms trafficking, prostitution, and extortion as a means towards funneling wealth into Jamaica for The Jamaican Labour Party.

 

The term “Shower Posse” has been theorized to consist of several different origins:

1. The term “Shower” was used to represent The Jamaican Labour Party “showering” supporters with gifts in exchange for favours.

2. The term “Shower” was used to represent The Shower Posse’s tactic towards executing their targets. Generally, mafias resort to carefully assassinating a single target through covert means, ensuring that the assassination is subtle without harming any innocent civilians. The Shower Posse, however, has been known to “Shower” their enemies with bullets, often publicly executing targets by discharging tons of rounds into their target, regardless as to whether they are by themselves or surrounded by large groups of people.

 

3. The term “Shower” references to The Jamaican Labour Party’s election slogan: “Shower for the People”, which was in response to The People’s National Party’s [of Jamaica] election slogan “Power for the People”.


HISTORY IN JAMAICA

The Jamaican Shower Posse was formed by Lester “Jim Brown” Lloyd Coke during the early 1980s within “Tivoli Gardens”, which was formed as a proxy for “The Jamaican Labour Party” in order to funnel wealth to the political party through arms trafficking, narcotics trafficking, and prostitution. However, The “Jamaican Labour Party” (JLP), which is in major opposition of “The People’s National Party [of Jamaica]” (PNP), has been known to be a COINTELPRO project by the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. in order to counter-act against the pro-Communist and pro-Castro “People’s National Party [of Jamaica]”. Thus, both parties engaged in a major power struggle, hiring mercenaries from the slumyards of Jamaica to execute political opponents and funnel wealth to their respective parties. The U.S.-funded Jamaican Labour Party formed “The Shower Posse” while the pro-Communist People’s National Party formed “The Sprangler Posse”, continuously utilizing these proxies to reign terror upon their opposition and generate revenue for their political campaigns.

 

Lloyd Lester Coke functioned as the “Key Enforcer” for the Jamaican Labour Party for Prime Minister Edward Seaga, often being responsible for torturing and executing seven “Jamaican Labour Party” defectors on behalf of the party. In the process, he was praised by the local community of Tivoli Gardens for providing them with food, water, and electricity through the assistance of Prime Minister Edward Seaga. Eventually, he was known as the “Protector of Tivoli Gardens” by P.M. Seaga, resulting in a mutual bond between The Shower Posse and The Jamaican Labour Party.

 

By 1992, Lloyd Lester Coke was imprisoned by the People’s National Party and then executed via a “mysterious prison fire”, causing his son to function as the new leader of The Shower Posse. Christopher “Dudus” Coke, alongside with his accomplice named “Vivian Blake”, became the main leaders of The Shower Posse within Jamaica. He was known to “shower” Tivoli Gardens with food, clothing, employment, and healthcare, causing the community to heavily support him as the new leader of the posse. To a certain extent, his influential power had resulted in Jamaican authorities being obligated to request for Dudus permission to even enter Tivoli Gardens. Overtime, Dudus had expanded the Posse’s influence throughout West Kingston, beyond Tivoli Gardens, asserting a firm grasp on the region through fear and violence. One report indicates that Dudu had decapitated a member’s arm with a chainsaw for simply “pinching some of his weed”. Dudus began to expand the Posse into the United States, prioritizing on regions within New Jersey, Liberty City, and Vice City.

 

In 2009, The U.S. government was well-aware that the individual named Christopher “Dudus” Coke was responsible for leading The Shower Posse within the U.S., gathering enough evidence to request for his extradition from Jamaica to Liberty City on narcotics trafficking charges. In 2010, the Jamaican government placed West Kingston under Martial Law, in an attempt to secure the region against the armed supporters of Christopher “Dudus” Coke, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties and seventy-three deaths. Dudus was captured by Jamaican forces during a routine road-block leading to the U.S. embassy, being disguised as a woman with a wig on his head. He was imprisoned within Jamaica for over a year until he was extradited to Liberty City in 2011.

HISTORY IN THE U.S.

According to The Federal Bureau of Intelligence, over fourty “Jamaican Posses” exist within The United States of America under completely different names and aliases. However, the F.B.I. confirmed that these Jamaican Posses exist under the wing of two predominant Posses: The Sprangler Posse under The People’s National Party and The Shower Posse under The Jamaican Labour Party.

 

The Jamaican Shower Posse began to expand their operations beyond Jamaica, using the J.L.P. to assist with the legal process towards migrating Shower Posse members to Liberty City (New York). Their primary method towards accumulating capital and funneling wealth into Jamaica involved selling marijuana and firearms throughout the streets of Liberty City. Overtime, by the mid to late 1980s, The Shower Posse (whom were initially funded by the C.I.A.) were responsible for flooding the lower-income African-American boroughs of Liberty City with cocaine.

 

By 1988-1989, the U.S. media began to link several mass-shootings to The Shower Posse, identifying these entities as “Thugs that terrorize people through fear and violence for profit”. The Shower Posse were known to “shower their enemies with bullets”, conducting these public acts as a means towards instilling fear into the local populations of Liberty City and Vice City. For example, Shower Posse members were known to INTENTIONALLY “shower” large crowds with bullets, despite only attempting to assassinate one target. The media and legal authorities reported that The Shower Posse were known to disguise themselves throughout The United States of America, Canada, and The United Kingdom by aligning themselves with African-American gangs, often by integrating Posse members into these gangs.

By the 1990s, Shower Posse members have been known to “align themselves with black Westcoast gangs”, disguising themselves as Bloods and Crips in order for the Posse to remain undetected. This process continued until the present.

 

By 2009, The U.S. government was well-aware that the individual named Christopher “Dudus” Coke was responsible for leading The Shower Posse within the U.S., gathering enough evidence to request for his extradition from Jamaica to Liberty City on narcotics trafficking charges. By 2011, “Dudu” was extradited to Liberty City, in fear of being executed in Jamaica. On June 8, 2012, Christopher “Dudus” Coke was sentenced to undergo twenty-three years of prison within Fort Dix, New Jersey for narcotics trafficking and smuggling.

 

 

 


MODERN-DAY SAN ANDREAS
 

The Shower Posse’s presence has been heavily dominant within Bolingbroke Penitentiary (compared to the streets), as the overcrowding of prisons within mainland San-Andreas, alongside with behavioural issues amongst Shower Posse inmates within the Eastern region of the United States, has resulted in members of The Shower Posse to be transferred to the island of San Andreas. Due to their small size, The Shower Posse has been known to utilize the “Prison Race Wars” to their advantage, aligning themselves with Westcoast African-American sets in order to remain protected against the threat of other Hispanic, Caucasian, and Asian gangs within the prison system. Primarily, they would function as “contractors” to the larger African-American sets, functioning as their “hit men” when it involved targeting opposing gang members within the prison. After all, most Shower Posse inmates are undergoing twenty-five year sentences for massive acts of homicide, narcotics trafficking, and arms trafficking. Thus, they’ve used this tool to their advantage in order to attain the trust and loyalty of the African-American sets along the Westcoast. Finally, their presence within the prison system has allowed them to recruit inmates into their organization, resulting in released inmates expanding the Posse within the streets of Los Santos.

 

The Dan Dada of The Shower Posse within Jamaica had appointed a man named Junior “Juju” Higgins to function as the regional don of the island of San Andreas, as the posse began to attain a successful foothold within the San Andreas prison system. Juju, who was born in Tivoli Gardens, Jamaica had flown into Los Santos to manage the Posse within the region through the guidance of other posse members within Liberty City and Vice City. Juju was informed to abide by the instructions of a Don within “Mainland San Andreas”, ensuring that the “Mainland to Island Pipeline” trafficking route remained secured. After all, narcotics and arms were shipped from Jamaica to Vice City, Vice City to Liberty City, Vice City to Mainland San Andreas, and Mainland San Andreas to the Island of San Andreas.

 

Aside from attaining recruits through the prison system, The Jamaican Labour Party would provide Jamaican citizens of the slumyards of Tivoli Gardens and the rest of West Kingston with the opportunity to “seek a better life”. The process would involve “Jamaican Shower Posse” members presenting the Jamaican Labour Party with potential candidates to venture into the U.S. for their trafficking and funneling operations. The Jamaican Labour Party would provide these candidates with the necessary documents to fly into the U.S. with a residential permit. However, the candidate would be expected to leave their entire family within the slums, allowing The Jamaican Shower Posse to hold them as hostages, in-case the candidate ever desired to betray the posse within Los Santos or Jamaica. In certain cases, these migrants’ entire family would be tortured and executed if the migrant were to betray the posse, heavily utilizing fear as a mechanism towards maintaining their loyalty to the Posse.

 

The final form of recruitment involves “Showering” the local lower-income African-American (Second or Third-generation Jamaicans that are born within the U.S.) youth with gifts, proclaiming that The Shower Posse is capable of providing them with wealth, power, and protection in exchange for their loyalty. The Shower Posse has primarily targeted regions along Davis, specifically within Covenant Avenue and Brouge Street.

 

The Shower Posse has maintained a much more subtle presence in the Westcoast when compared to their Eastcoast and Jamaican counterparts, in an attempt to secure a foothold on the narcotics and arms trafficking industry, alongside with installing a dominant prostitution ring within Los Santos. Generally, it would involve disguising their operations through legal fronts and through other Westcoast sets. Their presence has recently sparked the attention of the Federal Bureau of Intelligence. Classified as “Operation: Next Day Air”, a total of nine individuals were arrested in a narcotics trafficking ring in 2013, extending from Liberty City (New Jersey in OOC) to Mainland San Andreas (California in OOC). According to the F.B.I., the trafficking ring has been linked to the garrisons of West Kingston. However, the F.B.I. can not confirm whether either of the nine arrested narcotics traffickers were members of The Shower Posse.

Indeed, The Jamaican Posses possess a much more powerful presence within Southern Florida and N.Y. than their other counterparts. I had posted an image of their existence within the U.S... The red resembles a dominant presence while the pink represents a subtle presence. The "Shottas" are based on a combination of The Shower Posse and Sprangler Posse within the U.S.

This sort of means that they won't be continuously conducting shoot-outs like The Shottas in the film, since their presence is small.
