Military deployed to fight crime in Montego Bay

The Jamaican Defense Forces (the equivalent of the Jamaican Army) have been deployed to the resort town of Montego Bay and the surrounding St. James parish.  This is an effort to reduce crime, especially murders, that have spiked in the parish over the last year.  While crime has always been a problem in the southern part of the island, the tourist area in the northern half has typically been very safe.

This is a sad development sure to hurt the tourist trade that the island depends on.  Story here.

Wrong place, wrong time

If you are going to rob a McDonald’s, make sure that 11 members of the French special forces aren’t eating there at the time.

Give that man a medal

In the same situation, I can only hope I would do the same.

Just unbelievable

Just unbelievable.

Good for him

Some people have to learn lessons, like don’t break into other people’s homes, the hard way.  Good for the young boy in the story.

Tar and feathers

Really.  Invest in tar and feathers futures.
