There is nothing wrong with sharing information (good and/or bad), about Negril and Jamaica, but if a poster chooses to make a post, especially about such a serious issue as gun crime and murder in "westend" shouldn't that person at least give some information for the basis of their post? "Count is up to around 10" ??? What timeframe is that, what defines "westend" geographically, is that anywhere close to being an accurate statement, or is it based on some knowledge the poster probably should have shared?
Gun crime and murder have plagued Jamaica, (and many other parts of the world) for many years. People should be aware of that fact. It troubles me that posts regarding such a devastating problem are made with about as much thought as somebody starting a thread and asking where they can find some good jerk chicken. Sadly, many families and friends are left behind, suffering the loss of a loved one, and I wonder what they might think of the sometimes casual, and almost flippant way some members of this board discuss such issues.
Empathy is a very good quality that we should all put in to practice.
