So true! Unfortunately the reality is that now that a tourist has been shot a lot more attention is going to be paid be it lip service or real "action".
Sadly, my guess is for the former. But with this one incident tourism in Negril is going to go down the toilet. Its all over Canadian news by now.
JB and TAH - get it, got it and DONE with both of you. Don't really care what you think or spew.
"Oh, you're done now. That's nice.
You know, I watched for years as you shouted down anyone who questioned tourist safety in Negril. "Tourists are NOT targeted", "this stuff doesn't happen where tourists hang out", and many, many other ways that you belittled those who saw the forest through the trees. For a while there, you even had me thinking that I was over-reacting. Now you're trying to spin it yet again. You could have been a voice of reason, but you chose otherwise. You chose... poorly."
I have been on the receiving end and have been blamed for being chicken little the sky is falling rhetoric.
As someone who usually has two or three trips already paid for sans my hotel bill, I currently have one trip planned where I am taking a newbie. Likely it will be my last trip, for awhile that is. I have been looking for 5 days to complete my split stay, and will likely do those either on the South/North coast. The vibe is changing and it does not look like it will revert back any time soon.
