THE EDITOR, Sir:MY HEART is bleeding as we speak, reading about little Morifa in Jones Town who was shot in the back. How can these people be so heartless? These people will never see God's face. What are they fighting for?
I am sure that the Government can do something about crime in Jamaica. What kind of nation is this that cannot take care of its women and children? I left Jamaica in 1993 and I am yearning to see my family. I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy and an implant, and I would like to see my father and siblings, but how can I come to my country when I am not sure that I would return to the U.S. alive?
No country is totally safe to visit, but the reports that are coming out of Jamaica do not look good. Please Mr. Editor, let the Prime Minister know that Jamaicans overseas are willing to help develop more social programmes to stop the youths from killing each other. Just merely sending money there to give away is not the answer. The Jamaicans living abroad are willing to give our input financially and otherwise to invest in our families' future.
Please Mr. Prime Minister, send out the army if you have to and do more to take these criminals off the streets. Rehabilitate the ones you can, and execute the ones you cannot.
We the Jamaicans abroad need answers.
I am, etc.,
