Sad to see

It is scary.

Note the pattern, the targets, the tactics, well trained use of high powered weapons.

Yh and where would it stop? You think it would only stop with the criminal element? What about critics? You DON'T GET IT FO YOU? Dictatorships ALWAYS move on from criminals to critics and erosion of rights. See Duterte, see Putin, see El Salvador where you seem to think it is great. Holness has YET to file HIS Integrity Commission report and you THINK HE can deal with crime? Your comment is the road to corrupt dictatorship as they usually are-see Haiti under the Duvaliers, Russia under Putin. All corruptly enriching themselves while their people suffer. A corrupt government CANNOT stamp out crime.

Leff him - that is exactly the plan for these authoritarians.

Keep people in poverty and ignorance and then lock them up or execute them in public.

The phrase I never plan to forget was 'Spread out'.

I was in India a few months ago…India is rapidly transitioning into a cashless economy….even the coconut vendors on the street using Venmo or some other cash app….they had QR codes on their stalls…
Maybe Yard need to do the same to deter criminals (of course peeps will still have to contend with the fraudsters in the banks)

Yes, digital apps like Lynx should help.

This is not some poor, unemployed folks doing this.

You make some valid points but we need help. This is not normal and normal policing will not work.

Greed is at the heart of this and a corrupt government does not give confidence.

All we need are 63 good leaders, not excellent, but good!

You are assuming we have had normal policing. My view is thar since tge 2010 Tivoli operation the JCF has become LAZY. Asking wanted men to come in over the media, requesting SOEs etc, rather than the HARD investigative and INTELLIGENCE work needed to act PROACTIVELY not reactively. The JCF REACTS to criminal activity rather than seeking to stop some of it BEFORE it hsppens by identifying criminals and lauching operations to arrest such. This is compounded by the lack of a Crime Plan from the government SEVEN years in.

The apps are coming. But will a large enough number of people use them?

Good question…
They will need a massive public education campaign…

I remember back in 1976 when Jamaica tried to adopt the metric system of measurement…It was very difficult for a dinosaur like me to make the change…

The government leveraged our Olympic accomplishments to come up with a clever jingle but to no avail
Quarrie beat them all up in Montreal, so if you run in metres, you must drink your beer in litres, and when you buying yam, you think in kilogram


To this day I still think in imperial measurement and moving to the US didn't help lol

This bunch are incapable of solving the crime problem. They make the PNP look like first world leaders on this one.

 
nitro 2023-03-21 20:24:48 

Another one in Mandeville. They have more high powered weapons than the guards and the police.

Can you point me to a country with this level of crime that did not take drastic action to curb it?
