Lola......true, murder rate is down approximately 8% from last years 1200 plus. And yes being ranked sixth this year on worldwide list is impressive considering it was number one a mere decade ago.
Still, violent crime spilling onto main street negril is saddening and worrisome.
Most of us here are seasoned travelers that know what we are in for, petty crimes are normal for tourist towns. But when violent crimes happen where visitors frequent, visitors stop coming.
I am not on island and not aware of what is being done to stop this. It's sad to think that one of us has to be whacked for things to change. I feel for the residents more than my stupid vacation. I can go anywhere I want , they can't.
This is my last post. I will deflect my opinions towards the entities such as JTB, negril chamber of commerce and any other institution that will listen.
If there is any way I can help I will, all advice from any of you will be welcomed.
Peace, tubes
