Not sure what's up with the board but I'm not able to reply and felt I really needed to.
What happened last week on the West End ("Murder Again") was ABSOLUTELY A LOCAL THING. It happened in an area that was NOT tourist....and it happened to two LOCAL people. And it was tragic and horrible.
Being that as it may, if people feel they need to stay away from Jamaica because of this or other incidents, so be it. But being on a travel board or not - and being here at the moment I can tell you nothing has changed, the vibe goes on.
Fact is, the gun violence thing doesn't magically disappear. Its been this way for a good 7-8 years now. With the SOE I'm told it has slowed down some but as you can see, it still happens.
Enjoy your vacation. Take note if you need to but be assured your life is not in danger.
