My thoughts on…Jamaica’s crime queen
In today’s world of gender equality, you can hardly find a job that a woman hasn’t infiltrated. Previously male dominated jobs such as construction worker, doctor, CEO and others are now being performed with a feminine touch. But there’s one job that women haven’t quite ventured into – crime. And I’m not talking about being a drug mule to support the five children your deadbeat boyfriend left you with or killing your sugar daddy after he puts your name in the will. I’m talking about hardcore gangster stuff.
Well one Jamaican woman has done just that, and blazed a trail for female mobsters everywhere. Sasha Payne (what an appropriate name) is being hailed as the next don for the troubled Havana community in Arnett Gardens. She is so notorious that the police have put her on their Most Wanted List. She has earned the moniker “Gun Gal”, and is suspected to be involved in six shooting incidents. She is feared by members in the community, and some say she’s more dangerous than any man. Apparently it’s true what they say, anything men can do, women can do it better.
And guess what? She’s only 18! I guess it’s never too late to start working towards your future career. She’s also the mother of a six-month old baby. Must be tough juggling motherhood and career. I guess we’ll have to start fearing “the gentler sex” now. Guess equality isn’t all its cracked up to be now is it? A word of advice to her underlings, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER DURING HER TIME OF THE MONTH!
Is there a sense of pride for Miss Sasha in Jamaica? Is she being hailed as a hero like Billy the Kid is here in America?
There is hint of you finding her kind of glamorous in this post, Leon. 18, armed and dangerous, and if she’s pretty - that’s a sexy combination. Interesting!
Although you don’t hear Billy too often out of movies lately.
I wonder what drove her to explore her career choices
Nice Blog Leon!

The name is priceless! Now she just needs a movie and book deal.
brasil is my team too…
Never heard of her before, but it is true that women have infiltrated all once male dominated fields, an now it seems they have their eyes set on violent crime too.
Wow! She is the don?! As Maritza said, thats pretty interesting… Whats she supposed to look like?
Also, pretty funny, that bit about juggling motherhood and career…
Wow! 18 yr old don? Tell us more about Gun Gal and her rise up the ladder.
It is rare for a female to be in a position like that in the crime world. Interesting. Although, I was a little surprised about the time of the month joke from someone who says they are “mature” and “wise beyond their years.” You can do better…
Now, that would make a cool movie.
I think I saw a movie with a character like her in it back in the eighties. Can’t remember it all but it was at a time when it was unthinkable for a young girl to get to that position and so was really shocking.
How prophetic.
It may sound immature Manuel, but I think its wise advice. When the Crimson Tide rolls in, you’d better head for the hills, especially when the woman in question has a loaded gun!
I haven’t heard about her….I don’t read or listen to much news.
Sad. I wonder if she realizes that she may well be gunned down leaving behind the child?
Heard this somewhere recently. I think the women had already gone haywire. This one just step it up a notch that’s all. Well from yuh take up an illegal gun Doc I think you have pretty much made up your mind that death is a part of the picture.
you are obviously not as intelligent or as thoughtful as you claim to be — in fact, pretty sexist to boot — just look at the language you choose to use to describe what is really not a remarkable event - “infiltrate”??? — I didn’t know that criminal activity belonged to men and was hallowed ground.
pissy leave sasha she didnt nothing wrong she is protecting da communty y isnt the jungle man she is in shoot out with in da paper yall pussy leave da gal alone faget
