Hall Gunned Down in Barbados, 'Bout Damned Time' Witnesses Claim
(Editor's note: This is an actual news report about a hated killer in Barbados named...you guessed it...Winston Hall. I am not making this up.)
FORCED TO FIRE (at Winston Hall)
WINSTON HALL, the island's most notorious fugitive, refused to surrender and was chopping at a policeman; that's why he was shot.The death of the fleet-footed prisoner is the subject of an inquest before Magistrate Faith Marshall-Harris, which started yesterday and included that testimony of the policeman who fired the fatal shot to Hall's chest.... Constable Henderson Yearwood, the only armed policeman that morning, said Hall was swinging a cutlass at his partner Constable Cedric Neblett, when he fired at him four times in a yard. Yearwood, Neblett and Constable Carson Hoyte, who were present during the wee hours of May 27, 2004, when 40-year-old Hall was shot, said when he was repeatedly told to surrender, Hall, using expletives, said they would have to kill him.

This is some sore of commentary about the event on the same webpage:
"Man Hall coulda been waving a chicken wing in the air, he woulda still get peppa. Winston should been added to the national heroes list, for providing continuous entertainment for the bajan public. You really feel that Errol Barrow coulda escape from maximum security 3 times??? De man brilliant. It's interesting how in the wee hours of the morning, they went to pick up an armed and dangerous man, with only ONE police carrying a gun. So Winston do what any other person woulda done... went to chop the idiot that come wid he 2 long hands. So, de armed police leggo 4 shots, and one hit Hall in he chest, so now he claiming how he save his friend from harm. Amm.. buddy, so Hall was so close to your partner that Hall coulda chop he with a sword, yet still, you missed 3 times? Wuh your partner do you? Or you decide to give Hall a chance? And if they were so close and you miss Hall, that mean you barely missed the Constable too. With a partner like that, man Hall would be the least of my worries."
That's the story of some other guy;s life who just happened to share my name...

haha.... wow.
hehe. funny. Honestly, i truly believe there's more to the story that what was said though.
first of all let me say no man can escape a maximum security cell unless he had help winston hall will always be my hero and you shouldnt judge leave that to GODyou were not there either so you shouldnt go on hearsay i live in barbados ive been keeping track of this story for years read between the lines mate
Guys. Seriously. The whole joke here is that I have the same exact name as this guy. My name is Winston Hall. I live in America. My friends thought it was funny to read an article of this nature about someone who has the same name as me. This in not political commentary nor is it judgement. Really. Really.
I lived off and on in Barbados and was aware of his capture and execution on the day it happened. Before that,we had known of his legend and that he had escaped the third time from a prison,built to contain Winston Hall! He was a Robin Hood/Jesse James type character to the locals. I intended to put his image in my paintings of Barbados and try to start a new "Where's Waldo" craze.
All I am saying is , just be glad you weren't named Jeffery Dahmer !
