Girl Dies From Daggering?
May 10, 2009 Videos
Here’s a video that was reportedly filmed at a dance in Seaforth, St. Thomas in November 2008. The video shows a young woman sitting in a small bathtub (yes, they carry all sorts of things to dances in Jamaica .. even beds), while her male dance partner ran up from some distance away, launched through the air like an acrobat but mis-times his landing and ends up landing in her head/neck region.
Clearly he didn’t intend to land there, and she is knocked unconscious. It was not even immediately realised that something was wrong as the male dancer jumped on the unconscious woman, ‘daggering’ her, and then soon realizes that she is not responding. She’s completely unconscious, seeming almost dead actual. He and other persons then realize the seriousness of the situation, and proceed to slap her cheeks and douse her repeatedly with several containers of water. Her head bobbles about lifelessly and the sound system selector can be heard saying over the microphone: “De gyal dead … c*cky kill yuh … daggering kill her.”
Fortunately it turns out she was not dead, just unconscious. Check out the video below.
