Boyne's contention is that dancehall celebrates dons and violence, and that the power of this institutionalised celebration has resulted in a devastating impact on our country.
While Boyne's intentions are fundamentally well-meaning, he unfortunately has chosen to pursue his conclusions with a most misinformed, self-righteous, arrogant and holier-than-thou attitude that serves to profoundly disrespect the people who constitute the dancehall space.
Boyne does not live and make his living in areas where he constantly interacts with the reality of brutal dons and their armies.
