You can see both Sizzla and Capleton violating their Reggae Compassionate Act agreements on 12/25/07 in this YouTube video: http://tinyurl.com/ya89qup
3:36 Capleton: “All who bun battyboy and sodomite?” Sizzla performs “Big Long Guns” (a song to incite murder by gunfire).
Capleton returns: “All a who a bun battyman n sodomite, show both hands and you don’t suck cocky or pussy” and uses chants “tun e up” (a subtle way to say kill). He urges participation and indicates that those who don’t are gay.
6:22 Sizzla: “Kill battyman n sodomite” and continues “Kill dem outa de place.”
09:45 Capleton: “Battyman fi dead di yuth em right bout that.”
Say No to Hate Music!
I need your help! Again, a number of clubs in Europe will offer a stage in March and April to an “artist” who calls for the murder of LGBT people.
I just created a petition entitled: Stop supporting hate, because I care deeply about this very important issue.
I’m trying to collect as many signatures as possible, and I could really use your help.
To read more about what I’m trying to do and to sign my petition, click here:

Let the event sponsors know what we think about their support for hate and violence. Tell them that we will not tolerate it anymore. Last year another petition was a huge success and together we could prevent most of the concerts of a similar singer.
It’ll just take a minute! Together we can make a change!
Thank you!
