A further step backward for China

Kentucky criminals

Just another day in the history of crime and punishment in the Bluegrass.

Another missing Chinese national?

I previously noted a report on a missing Chinese movie star here.  Now, another high profile Chinese national has gone missing.  Could some sort of crackdown be going on behind the scene?

This is interesting.  No one seems to know where she is.  If the government have her, thus far they aren’t saying.

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.

Well this is depressing

There is tons of money to be saved by cutting out the waste in Defense Department.

Defensive gun use

Interesting story.  I’d like to know more.

Good news

Apparently in Massachusetts all other crime and terrorism threats have been resolved.
