Browns, your logic is not sound. I posted earlier the murder rate statistics from Wikipedia. At 57 per 100,000, Jamaica shares with a few Central American countries the honor of being the most murderous country in the world, 10x to 100x higher than most places in the world. Belize is up there too, so it's not a good comparison point, but you could throw a dart at Africa or Asia to pick a safer country than Jamaica. The thing that disturbs me about this latest murder is that the victims, as far as we know, were not drug dealers flashing big money and expensive jewelry. Instead it looks like a house robbery. Like you, I used to feel safe in Jamaica. Not so much now.
