With a heavy heart...

While I might not agree with Mattmon's suggestions of violence, I understand his outrage & the passionate plea for the loss of his friend.
I hear his battle cry as a wake-up call to the complacency of this board, the residents & the government, in light of these murders.

I'm amazed by how many have seemed to turn the other way or sweep it under the rug with 'it happens everywhere'.
I live in Detroit & still find what is going on in Negril to be scary. Who or what is next if this isn't nipped in the bud?

& why does it seem more are upset with Mattmon's response than the violent incidents that spurred his commentary in the first place?!

Instead of setting fires or bashing Mattmon, can we use our power for good instead of evil? What can we, as a group, do in a proactive manner to help put some pressure on the powers that be to help curb this violence?
