Gerry, Isn't it amazing what one can experience in Negril? You are going about his business at the gas station, and moments later a stranger is making a death threat. Why do we (or should we) put up with such behavior? If the person was so bold as to say that to you at a gas station in front of witnesses, I would shudder to think what might have transpired on a lonely road. Should it be taken seriously? Words are only wind, (or so I have been told in Jamaica), but for someone to say such a thing in response to being unsuccessful in begging, is very troubling. Back at home, and probably in Jamaica, a person might expect to land in jail for making such a statement.
