I agree with everything you said except the last sentence . negril was build on crime fuelled by tourism . It wasn't grocery stores or schools that brought people to Negril/Jamaica . The bait is the tourist industry . That is where they get the numbers .Negril tourists have far more access to the streets than say Ochi BUT !!! the same crimes are committed . Coke THAT IS THE PROBLEM !!!!! In my humble opinion . I lived in rural Jamaica for years and years and there are as many criminals there as in tourist areas.

Quote:OT wrote: Who got shot , a local or a stranger to Negril ??29 year old ex police officer is what I read in the Gleaner. Pretty bold move to go into a crowded Kenny's at 7:55 pm and murder at point blank range. So glad I wasn't there as we have eaten in at Kenny's before and ordered to go several times.

Well this sucks, I like eating at Kenny,s and was there this jan. Gun crime is way too prevalent these days. Perhaps the justice system should concentrate their efforts on solving gun crimes, and increase the sentence for crimes involving a firearm. During our visit this Jan. I was very close to becoming a witness to a shooting. It was my second trip to the Digicel store for a new sim card, they were to arrive friday so I waited till sat. to be sure. Still none, it was 2 p. m. and the clerk told me to go to Flow for a sim card, I did and after waiting 40 minutes in line found out my phone was locked to Digicel and their sim card would not work. Got back to the west end around 3 P.M. Next day we find out someone was shot at the round about at 4-20 pm. Very close to the Flow store I was at. Funny thing is there seemed to be less hustlers this reach... less pushy people and fewer beggars. I think the fact this happened at Kennys on N M Blvd. shows how little fear these gunman have. It is very fortunate that no one else was hurt. These people are not trained marksmen and even a pro can have a bad day, not to mention bullets tend to ricochet in buildings and at close range. Lets hope they catch the guy.

Good point about witnesses. This ass-hat put all those tourists eating there at that time in the position of identifying him. Me, I keep my mouth shut, many years of experience tells me this but it automatically puts a target on the back of those who don't know.

So what you are saying is there are people that know who did this, but won't speak up because they will be the next target.
Nice way to live....
I am sure there are ways to pass on information without identifying yourself.
As was already said, handguns are not built for accuracy, and there could have easily have been innocent vacationers killed or injured.
What a great thing to witness while travelling to a place to relax and enjoy yourself.

"So what you are saying is there are people that know who did this, but won't speak up because they will be the next target.

Maybe not...but it's the reality of the situation. Their lives are put at serious risk if they bear witness. And as you have read and digested, gun violence is out of hand, the cops do not have a handle on it nor do they have the will or manpower to protect witnesses.
Maybe there were people there who knew the guy (OT's point about him being an outsider is very valid so if there is a chance he could be identified, its slim). But even giving a description to the police is a risky thing.
If I were in that restaurant I wouldn't dare even describe the guy to the police. Eyes and ears are everywhere....and these days lives ain't worth a damn.

I disagree on the stray bullets, they know EXACTLY who they want and they are excellent marksmen, have u ever seen a Jamaican throw a rock and it their mark dead on ? I have.
Ex cop at 29 ? Come on, one has to guess why such a short career ? And who do you think actually done it, no guessing here.

"the young ones sometimes have no choice but to become part of the problem." - Total BS statement. Don't make excuses for these degenerates.

All your statement shows is that you don’t know or understand life in Jamaica
