RE: Reflecting on my recent visit to Jamaica

in Reflections2 years ago

It's depressing to see how cheap life is there.

I definitely feel that crime is often born of greed and jealousy more than need.

That's my take on a lot of it. A lot of the time when police do kill criminals, people are surprised to see the unmasked faces of people they sit and play dominos in the daytime.
Yes, there is poverty, with little to no social care. However, real guns have replaced water pistols that kids used to play with.
Most robberies take place and the shooting to kill happens after, just because they can get away with it.

I hope that I'll live to see a change in crime in Jamaica.
