It's horrible and thoughtless. Those people responsible for the murders should face death. Most of the people in Ja are not educated. The Government needs to take steps to educate the people. It's a shame that Ja is not recognised for its beauty, but for violence.

The majority of Ja need to stand up and say what is going on in their communities. Things are going to get worse if something is not done now. I fear for my familly back there as people there are so ignorant. Bring back Adams for the idots who think that killing their brothers and sisters is for fun. What is the Government doing for the ghetto people, no jobs, no money, the people are suffering and the youths of our future are dropping like flies.

I cannot believe the new Government is allowing the crime rate to rise in the inner city without doing something about it. The first order of business for the Government must always be the control of crime. Canadians and people from other other countries will boycott Jamaica and the economy will suffer everyday, every year. The Government of Jamaica is too busy doing its own thing and not running the country. Shame on them.

In a situation where United States citizens may be sitting in the Parliament of Jamaica, it becomes a conflict for both the U.S. citizen and the Constitution of Jamaica.

The matter needs to be debated in Parliament before the 2012 general election in Jamaica. In a sense, section 40 (2) of the Jamaican Constitution would seem unfair to Jamaicans living in the diaspora who are U.S. citizens and may want to partake in political representation. Jamaica is an independent country with a democratic society.

Therefore, if a section of the Constitution needs to be amended in the interest of the nation, then by all means it should be addressed by the individuals who are versed in that area. This is a situation that cannot be ignored.
