I absolutely loathe this type of argument. What is the population of Columbus again? Negril? What is the per capita murder rate of each? Is Columbus, Ohio a tourist town other than Saturday in the fall (when the snake pit is full)?Originally Posted by OAngie
I'll hang up and listen...
Well the city I work in (Chicago) has a lot of tourists and the population is about the same as the country of Jamaica (a little less than 3 million). Last night alone (a non-holiday Monday) we had 3 shootings deaths and 26 shooting injured... Almost all of the Chicago shootings are on the West Side (where I work and bicycle commute through) and on the South Side - kind of like how most of Jamaica's murders used to be centered in Kingston.
No argument here - I love Chicago and Jamaica and will not be deterred from either.
TAH,
I dont think this was an argument but more of a comment. And I think that comment was somewhat directed to me. We are both from Columbus and have many mutual friends. I found out what was happening in Columbus over the weekend from her post. And for those in the know, Arnold visits Columbus each year to support his charity there. The first body building contest Arnold won in the USA was in Columbus.
She didnt insult anyone or anything, unlike you did in your post. Please keep the post civil, this topic is too serious for needless insults.

What insult? The Snake Pit comment was clearly a joke aimed at you (and had nothing to do with the topic at hand), since you're from Columbus (you've mentioned this in the past) and I'm obviously a Michigan fan.
TAH,
I respect Michigan and U of M and have enjoyed many games in The Big House. Your insult was not clearly a joke especially when you start a post with "I absolutely loathe this type of argument." Vince even commented that things are getting out of control here. Please keep your posts civil at this time of tragedy. Thank you for your understanding.

Rob, You are exactly right this was directed toward you. I should have mentioned that. I truly did not mean to start any problems. I love this board. Give Lisa a kiss from me.
everyone here, in Negril, is trying to protect the economic back bone of this area for sure. I am here like Marko and hear many stories from many diff people. But all locals agree this is very bad for all their business and not part of what usually happens here. The 2 Mil will hopefully bring about info from locals to try to get these thugs. There are other rumors that make it a little worse than just a purse snatching gone bad but will wait to hear the official word from the police? I am here with my family and young kids and have not left. I have loved this place for over 25 years. I plan to spend the day bar hopping on west end today without worry.
Ladies do not carry a purse and if confronted give it up quick!!! peace and love from Jamaica
excellent advice
Perhaps we should try to protect the PEOPLE first? More Love....
SMH, getting out of hand here. Pray for the victims family and frens! Bless!
