Sorry Fred, but I never took ownership of a friendship with you. If I get robbed by some "weak punk" then I will take care of my business like I always have. Your bravado may be a big deal for you in Negril but I don't think it translates well in rural areas. Just keep on doing what you do. I have no problem with anyone in Jamaica. Perhaps some day I will read about your exploits in the Gleaner or the Observer.Originally Posted by Fred Stripe
Nuff Said.
Read what I said in it's entirety. Yes, I said it is up to Jamaicans to solve. Said that very clearly at least twice.Are you not saying that it is up to Jamaicans to solve?
This is what I said. I think you read it right but you just didn't quote it correctly. That is all I said.Thinking you can "stand your ground, pepper spray, or go "All American me" on someone to solve a problem that is up to Jamaicans to solve is, in my opinion, ludicrous.
Peace and Guidance.

Lax1724...I was just in San Pedro in January..you are right about the 'higglers'..I have been there 8 times and if you simply say..no thanks, they let it be..There were some timeshare people in the park by the clock tower that were being too agressive..they would even stop your golf cart and would go up and down the block ...no one was safe..A bunch of people (locals) complained and that stopped..they now have a certain area by their stand in which to try to sell the timeshares...Have also traveled to Cozumel.. a lot .....they are very good there..of course, there are a few but all in all..its pleasant...
Just keep this in mind when going all Maroon on your attacker; it will not likely be just one attacker - after a few seconds you may be faced with a whole lot of attackers quite suddenly out of seemingly nowhere. (and in my experience, American law enforcement credentials don't carry a whole lot of weight to the average citizen in Jamaica.)
edit to add: I would simply ask the vendor to move along and if that didn't work, get a manager or security to assist. No need for Rambo in this situation. If no security, a long "kissteet" and a "have a nice day" while keeping it moving has always worked for me.
