Chicken Bones and Voodoo

To fully understand the happenings at Caribe Island Resort today, we have to back up a little. 
The POA (Property Owners Association) has a rule that property owners are not allowed to have dogs.  However, all of the neighbors have dogs and most of the time these dogs wander through the complex.  Several weeks ago John Smith, head of the Caribe Island POA, got into a shouting match with one of the neighbors (Wolfgang) for allowing his dogs on Caribe Island property.  Wolfgang had the final word as he walked away saying to John Smith that the dogs were not the problem but that John Smith was the problem.
That brings us to today.
I was in the condo when Gail ran in saying “Photo op, photo op.   Do you hear the drums?  There are people out on our dock playing drums and dancing.”
I immediately grabbed the camera and went to the dock.  Sure enough, there they were.
They came off our dock and headed to the next one.  The woman was wearing a mask that covered her face from the nose down and it had some awful looking teeth.  She was also carrying a pot that had some substance in it that spewed a cloud of smoke.

They danced and played the drums some more on the next dock.
 
When they finished on the dock they headed up to our complex. 
They went directly to John Smiths front door.  The two men playing the drums danced on the steps while the woman spread chicken bones on his porch. 
Everyone thought the music was great and even danced along and applauded when they were done.  However, it was found out later that the dance the men were doing and the chicken bones were a curse.
I asked the woman later what they were doing.
She told me they were blessing the docks, the water, and the fish.  She said that anyone who had problems could now jump in the ocean and their problems would go away.

However, John Smith did not like the dancing and the chicken bones on his porch.  He filed a police report accusing Wolfgang of arranging for these people to come and put a curse on him.
We will have to wait and see.   Are the fishermen going to catch a lot of fish or is John Smith going to have some kind of “accident”.
