SMH - nonsense? Get a grip. Another shooting another day. Cancel your travel plans to Negril, its a dangerous place...today especially I wouldn't discourage it.
Because the fears stated in this and other threads have come to pass. A tourist was shot dead right on West End Road, right in the middle of a tourist area.
You can feel good about being "right" now. I feel bad about being wrong. Really bad. Because I never thought this would happen and in the 30 years traveling there I can't remember if a tourist has ever been killed this way at all? It doesn't matter. There is a family in great pain now.
So many lives lost to gun violence in the past three years, including friends of mine. Mixed feelings about the fact that now that a tourist has been shot and killed maybe...MAYBE the "powers that be" will get their shit together and get this mess cleaned up. Meantime, emails are buzzing, phones are ringing...
...and reservations are being cancelled. And maybe that's the way it should be. Sadly I live among a community of people, good people who are terrorized by these thugs and now might have to face the falling off or complete loss of their livelihoods because of their actions.
But calling me a "liar" doesn't change things. So just stop...OK? Stop. You make yourself look like a bully.
You literally addressed nothing I said. All of those words, to not answer.
