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...
am I missing something? There is a murder and now they are checking out bikes that are non compliant??
SMH, getting out of hand here. Pray for the victims family and frens! Bless!

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.
Marco the bikes are the preferred mode of travel for a lot of the bad things you hear about. They can at least shake up a few things by seizing non licensed and insured ones and searching said individuals. At least they would have to seek out another bike. Worlwide many crimes get disrupted or deterred in routine traffic stops. I think we can agree on that point. The young lady asked about the bikes and I was just telling her my latest information on the issue she inquired about.
Meanwhile they also give cars the good once over too looking in trunks, under seats etc. Pain in the butt for the law abiding people , but meant for everyone's good in the end.
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.
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
Anyone posted this yet ?

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.
No and thanks.
There is a growing sentiment in Negril and also in my country district that this must stop.
One way or another we will stop this s**t.
Cap
