Caribbean Gangsta’s: The Terror of Spanish Town - The Rise and Fall of Andrew “Bun Man” Hope
Podcast: History of the Caribbeans | Exploring Resilience and CulturePublished On: Fri Jul 11 2025
Description: Most people think of gang warfare as chaos. But Andrew “Bun Man” Hope turned it into calculated military control. He transformed One Order into a paramilitary force, carried out daylight ambushes, and battled the Clansman Gang for total domination of Spanish Town. Police called him a terrorist. His community called him a savior. But when a 2006 shootout ended his life, questions still echoed: Who betrayed him? Was he executed? And did his war leave Spanish Town broken beyond repair? This is more than a gangster story—it’s a brutal reflection on what happens when power, protection, and politics bleed into the same street. Was Bun Man the hero of a forgotten people? Or just another warlord playing god with lives? Do you believe the official version of his death? Or do you think someone powerful wanted him silenced?
