Dear editor,

Many crimes that are being committed in Jamaica we are not hearing about them on our local news broadcasts.

So, when they gave us a figure about how many people have been murdered in a period of one year, it would be more if the many other killings were reported, or if they were being investigated by the media.

Jamaica is in a class by itself, being the country in the Caribbean with the most churches per square-mile and also having the highest murder rate.

Jamaica is in a class by itself in being rated as one of the most murderous countries in the world. Jamaica is in a class by itself when it comes to the stabbing and chopping people to death on a “regular basis.”

Jamaica stands firm in a class by itself when it comes to the “bad-man” attitude and the infliction of fear in people. It’s in a class by itself with one of the smallest populations and having more than 1,000 people being murdered in the period of a year.

Our country is saturated with many gunmen and criminals. It is saturated with lots of dangerous knife-mongers and machete-mongers who are slaughtering people in the most frightening ways.

Donald J Mckoy.
