No matter the age or situation, there is abosolutly NO EXCUSE FOR RAPE!!! Yes the girls could’ve made better decisions to help keep themselves safe, but they thought they were inside the walls of the resort. No fault at all should fall on the victims. It’s appalling that anyone would even put partial blame on them.

I understand the resorts, (especially in the most recent case at the Riu Reggae) should have better hiring practises but how does a hotel take responsibility for the horrible attack by the Cuban men?
And note...most of the resorts do have detailed hiring practises including requiring police records etc.
The overall opinion/question is why did theses practises fail or weren't implemented at the Riu?
enjoying reading how much everyone enjoys and spends time in our beloved Jamaica......
mi try to be a great ambassador and spread the word to everyone on how much mi enjoy Jamaica...
and how they should enjoy everything Jamaica has to offer.....
you can't possibly do everything in one vacation...lol
mi also tell everyone to be aware of the surroundings and don't do anything stupid when in Jamaica.......
using common sense to start with and thinking you know everything about Jamaica can get you in trouble..
mi been going to Jamaica since '82 and stay here for months at a time and everyday in Jamaica mi learn sumthin new......
mi ride mi red bicycle around Negril which isn't the smartest thing to do with all the maniacs on the road....
and mi snorkel every morning with the barracudas and this summer mi actually came face to face with a shark....
so wi all live our lives the way wi want.......nothing wrong with that.......
mi will just say that you should be very careful when you are in Jamaica......
Jamaican local police lack the financial resources and man power to respond quickly to incidents
always keep a low profile.....be aware of your surroundings....avoid secluded spots...
and never ever resist a robbery.....if you do it's a good way not to make it home safely
the USA government says to avoid going out at night and using public transportation but think that's over doing it...
it's not Kansas anymore like years past .......walk good......respect

There is a response to rape... or a preventative... DON'T GO INTO THE WEIRD, OUT OF PLACE, LAUNDRY ROOM WITH A STRANGER. No matter how many times he calls you princess.Originally Posted by JohnNYC

But... if he drags you there kicking and screaming... well, shame on you (I guess)
Free Opinions Offered. No tipping required. Hours: Open when I feel like it.
Just to clarify, the US government does not warn to avoid going out at night, they suggest not walking at night.
And the US advisory doesn't mean to avoid using public transportation, they warn against using the public buses that operate in Kingston and somewhat in MoBay. There are no public buses that operate in Negril that the US government is advising not to use.

It's a good exercise all around to try really see someone else's point of view and understand it. Doesn't mean you have to agree. This is a very sensitive topic, but I still think we should celebrate the courage of everyone who has chosen to comment, and respect that freedom we have been given to speak our minds.

probably many other comments, but you've all got my point of view, I'm sure. Probably with backlash. Sorry, not sorry. If anyone goes anywhere and thinks they aren't susceptible to danger, they are not a savvy traveler. Get with it, people.
mic drop.
mi out.
April, if you want to chat.

Mic drop? Lol
This is a tough topic and the warnings have been made. Please be safe wherever you are. This thread is closed.
