noproblem - I guess I will shoot a hole in your theory. After a thief sliced the strap off my wifes purse 20ft from the gate to Country Country (and leaving a nice gash on her arm), nobody (including the security of Margaritaville), and multiple people in vehicles, did a thing as he sprinted down the road with me in chase screaming that he had just robbed us. I stopped chasing when he ran into the bush on the morass side of the road. Didn't see the point of trying to run him down anymore considering the butcher knife he was carrying. Take my word for it, locals don't want to get involved when things get serious.
Accompong - this is my story, not one that I heard. Wife still has a scar to remind her.
Not saying Jamaicans will not step up to help in other situations, I have good stories too. But when there is potential for violence, they look the other way. And I don't blame them, they have to live there.
