Spot on Macy....
and i too live in So Cali--gang land for sure..actually there are hundreds of gangs here -as well as just a very densely populated place....with that being said i can only think of (personally i know)maybe 1 murder,some assaults and maybe a break-in or two..but thats it...Then i think of Jam..and know scores of people killed, robberies, break-ins, women assaulted, .etc..and just seems to increase and NOT decrease every year...
I know for a fact that a tourist couple leaving LTU were held up by gunmen on motorcycle and robbed..i believe it was about month ago..Also a young man leaving ricks was also robbed..walking down west end road, after ricks closing down(which isnt that late )going to his hotel... These gunmen are getting more brazen and i hope and pray they dont start targeting tourists,but seriously ,whats to stop them ???...whether that ever happens or not --who the hell wants to come to a vacation place where a small shop gets sprayed with bullets ..where innocent ,hard working locals get murdered and nothing comes of it,where ex-pats get murdered/robbed and nothing comes of it.,people get hurt or killed by reckless drivers and nothing comes of it..
Yeah crime happens everywhere,blah,blah..but not little vacation places known for chilling out..not the numbers that have been reported (not including all those we never hear about).. Way too much crime for a place like negril and for a small island like Jamaica...
and thank you Rootswoman for the chart... NOW can some of you see that LOT of crime happens in Jam...(murder,etc)its not some once in awhile fluke...a small island, with small population and lots of killing..--oh yeah, its just like everywhere else.........no, its not...
