Riot?

[Rob]

TAH,

Information does very often come to light after the investigations are over. Watching the Jamaican news programs and reading the papers are where you will find the info. This investigation is just starting. Keep googling for the info - once the investigation is done, the transparent information will be available to all.

As good as transparency is, there has been cases where a person's right to privacy takes precedence. There have been several occasions where we have been asked by those involved to NOT allow their incident to be posted on the Board. They did not want to become a topic of discussion. Another incident that comes to mind is one that happened to me years ago when a visitor died and I discovered the body. They were terminally ill and had come to Negril to die. After contacting the US Embassy and the family, the story was never reported in the news other than the obituary in their home town paper.

And I am sure that you know transparency is not always a good thing, especially on a personal level. I am sure there have been private issues that happened in your life to you or your family and friends, and being a private matter no one else has a right to know.

Yeah, you're right about the personal aspect.

Personal preference and a tourist board made for making money are 2 different points tho...

People should be able to read the good bad and the ugly about a place and make their own decision

I am not sure what point you are trying to make. Personal preference and a tourist board are not 2 different points, but two different things entirely.

The good, bad and the ugly are discussed here and always have been. This allows for our visitors to get the most accurate and helpful information available anywhere to make their trip to Jamaica and Negril the best vacation possible!

I think the needless accidental death of our friend Scuba is a tragedy. That is a very ugly thing.

What is not discussed here are rumor and speculation as it is of no value at all and can help no one with any decision.

The fact you posted in this thread entitled "Riot?" allows everyone to see that the good, bad and ugly are available to be read and discussed here.

Scuba was a real person with real family and friends that loved him. The truth based on the facts have been posted here. It would be irresponsible and needlessly hurtful to the family to allow pointless speculation.

People are hilarious. This was reported in the Jamaican news papers. The link was posted here. It's not Rob's duty to report every time something happens. If you're a seasoned enough visitor to Jamaica to walk up to red ground, then you already know the deal. If not, then this incident doesnt matter to you anyway. Giving rob **** is petty, and it's annoying to read.
