    That cutout of the police officer holding a radar gun on the road to sav freaks me out every time. At least I think it's the road to sav.

    You never did respond to my idea of the hotels& bars& restaurants on Long Bay chipping in what? $20 bucks a day to hire four guards to walk the beach? All you need is a visual deterrence.....
    Fred,

    The last arrest in Jamaica? That is where the 2 million visitors came so your answer would be today. There have already been arrests made today in Jamaica.

    And I didnt answer your question about setting private vigilante style guards on the Long Bay beach because I didnt think you could possibly be serious. There are already many more than 4 "guards" on the beach with both the police and the government hired "courtesy cops" that patrol the beach already. They are the ones in the white pith style hats. And that is in addition to the private security guards that are required at each of the hotel properties on the island.

    I do not know how you do not see them. At the Cafe Goa webcasts we do for Sunday Brunch you will see at least a half dozen walk by and be caught on our live camera. Some even wave and smile at the camera. Join us and and watch it sometime. It may be enlightening.

    Gee,so having More cops on the beach is now a Bad thing?? Stupid to say that right? Show me who was arrested where & why? You just want to put out the fire and not really address the issue////

    In USA all rookie cops have to "walk the Beat" is that dumb also? You walk for visibility to the innocents and the scumbags...

    The "cutie Pies in the white shirts are useless and you know it? Gee,where are they at night when the crime happens Rob or OOPSS forgot there is no crime.

    Don't shoot the messenger,attack the message....

    Fred,

    So, hiring 4 additional private guards to walk the beach will make all the difference? Wow, I didnt know it was so simple...

    You should be running the world!

    There are nearly 3 million people who live on the island and you really think no one committed a crime today and have been arrested? Wow...

    Take about attacking the messenger...

    Come down here and live for over 20 years then I may take something you say seriously. I am not a Monday morning armchair quarterback. I live here man...

    Perhaps only 1,999,999 tourists (and a few less maybe ) should have visited Jamaica last year if they don't like the way "tings run dere".

    If you can't add to the solution then you are adding to the problem.

    I am amazed that people think they have a say in how things are run in another country......with all the taxes in the states you would think you would have universal health care....instead of bankrupting people in their senior years because they got sick. ..... lets look to ourselves before we start managing another country.

    Fred,

    You never said to hire 4 cops. You are saying to hire 4 private guards to walk the beach that will have no legal arrest powers, no legal powers to detain, no legal right to carry a gun, in otherwords - just 4 people to walk the entire length of our Seven Mile Beach. Yes, that will make such a great difference...

    There are already police patrolling the beach both day and night. Anyone who has been to a late night show on the beach has seen them.

    Security guards are already required by law at all licensed hotel properties. And I think you are disregarding a few facts about Coco that are posted in another thread here that you started!

    You are attacking both me and Accompong for disagreeing with you, and yet we both live and reside here. You do not. It is not an attack when we disagree with you, we disagree with you because we live it. You never have.

    Fred,

    Add me to the list of residents who are insulted by your rants.

    Forty five years here paying taxes, two adopted children, well over 100,000 US invested over the years, member of the Masonic Lodge etc and you presume to tell me how to "fix" Jamaica. How much time have you spent outside of tourist areas?

    BTW. Aren't you the one who's so proud of sneaking into an IA and getting free drinks?

    Perhaps all those years of being a ghetto cop may have skewed your opinions?

    Come walk in our shoes for a couple of decades.
