Bashment Page #5

Synopsis: After a brutal gay bash attack at a reggae dance hall competition, a group of thuggish performers defend their actions as being provoked by the victim. They serve a shockingly light sentence, and as their release date nears, their original public defender rallies with the victims to examine the homophobic song lyrics and ask the question 'Did the music make you do it?'.

MR. JOHANNSON?

I'M DANIEL PEARL.

I REPRESENTED THE DEFENSE

AT THE RECENT TRIAL.

DANIEL PEARL?

I'M SORRY TO HAVE

BOTHERED YOU AT HOME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

JUSTICE.

I KNOW THAT YOU BELIEVE

THAT IF YOUR PARTNER'S ATTACKERS

HAD BEEN JAILED FOR LIFE,

THAT WOULD BE JUSTICE.

IT WOULD NOT.

AS REPELLENT AND DEPRESSING

AS THEY ARE,

THOSE IGNORANT BULLIES

ARE NOT WHAT HAS CAUSED

YOUR UNSPEAKABLE SUFFERING.

THEY ARE MERELY THE CARRIERS

OF THE DISEASE:

THAT STRUCK YOUR LOVER DOWN.

I USED TO THINK:

THIS DISEASE WAS SOCIETY.

STRUGGLING TO MAKE SENSE

OF THIS SENSELESSNESS,

TO FATHOM THIS BRUTALITY,

UNTIL YESTERDAY,

[RADIO PLAYS]

I CAME ACROSS THIS...

EXTRAORDINARY SOUND.

BASS, DRUMS.

HYPNOTIC.

SEDUCTIVE.

SEXY.

HIJACKING THE VERY BEA OF MY CORRUPTIBLE HEART.

UNTIL I FOUND MYSELF

CHANTING TOO.

BOOM GO A GA IN A BATTY BWOY'S BRAIN

GO ON PULL A TRIGGER

IN A N*GGER BROTHA'S NAME

SEND A CHI-CHI MAN TO HELL

WITH A SPIKE IN HIS EYE

CHI-CHI MAN DIE,

CHI-CHI MAN DIE.

I'VE GOOGLED CHI-CHI

ON THE NET.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

TERMITE.

COCKROACH.

VERMIN.

VERMIN.

AND I WAS SINGING ALONG.

AND THEN I LOOKED

TO MY RIGHT.

BOOM GO A GA IN A BATTY BWOY'S BRAIN

OUR BRAINS WERE BEING

COLONISED, INFECTED.

GWAN PULL THE TRIGGA

IN A N*GGER BRUTHA'S NAME

I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE OU A CIVIL CASE

AGAINST THE COMPOSERS,

PRODUCERS,

AND PERFORMERS RESPONSIBLE

FOR THIS MUSIC.

THEY ARE THE DISEASE.

WE CAN BE THE CURE.

AND THAT, PERHAPS,

MIGHT BE SOMETHING

LIKE JUSTICE.

[ORLY]

J.J.?
