I almost have to laugh when i see news reports or comments describe a tourist being murdered in Jamaica as a random killing. If it was a robbery gone bad then it was not random and it could happen anywhere. All of us who have been going to Negril for years are aware of the dangers in Negril or anywhere else we live and travel to and most of us use our common sence the best we can to not put ourselves in dangerous situations. I dont want to speculate as not all the facts are in or being shared and some reports or stories say robbery wasnt a motive. We all know to well that some people do not just visit Negril and Jamaica for sunshine, reggae music, rum and ganja and some are there for more than just that and in doing so get involved with an aspect of Jamaica that the average tourist may not know about. Not saying its ok that this has happened because its not and yes it makes alot of us second guess our plans to return to Jamaica but deep down I believe that these men didnt just pull up on a motor bike and say this is the person we are going to shoot today just because we can. There is always much more to the story than just a random killing and i pray that this is the case with this story and it wasnt just a random killing because if that every starts happening in our beloved Negril the people and places we love so much will pay the ultimate price and suffer much more than they allready do.
