"Life is change? ... Who you telling... That is an obvious fact no one can argue with anywhere."
I wasn't really telling anyone -just reflecting. Some people, myself included resist change, especially when it comes to things or places I love. Sadly, resist or not, we all must deal with it one way or another. The lyric is from a Jefferson Airplane song
The "theory" about the young (meaning younger than me, lol!) folks of Negril perpetuating these crimes of opportunity does not come from me - as a matter of fact I'd like to believe otherwise - it comes from my friend, a young man who moved here from Jamaica several years ago and grew up in Negril. He just spent a month visiting his family on the West End with his SO and his baby boy. He was there when all that shyte went down in the beginning of the month. Having grown up there and having many friends that still live and work there he does offer a unique perspective - like you said often times Jamaicans will not discuss the "wha gwan" with "us". They will discuss it amongst themselves.
Also, when I was alluding to Dudus Coke the point I was trying to make is that the bad boys associated with him and other gangs in Kingston ran for the "hills" so to speak. How Mr. Coke is viewed is not my concern...and again, this having anything to do with the escalation of crime in Negril is just a theory, like all the others.
