*note: the term "heavy manners" refers to the State of Emergency or curfew and marshal law that was declared by Prime Minister Michael Manley in 1976 in the run up to national elections. Manley, leader of the People's National Party, won re-election to a second term in office. He was replaced in another bloody election cycle in 1980 by his rival Edward Seaga of the Jamaica Labor Party who's stronghold is in the Tivoli Gardens neighborhood, the site of today's unrest. Jamaica's current Prime Minister, Bruce Golding, is a political leader who represented Tivoli.
