    Default Going on Vacation? Forget Jamaica.

    Military Deployed As Jamaica Officials Declare State Of Emergency

    Foreigners are being asked by their respective governments to exercise extreme caution and stay within the perimeter of their resorts in Montego Bay, Jamaica, after a wave of out of control violence has overpowered local authorities. On Thursday, the country’s prime minister, Andrew Holness, declared the state of emergency in the St. James parish to “restore public safety,” and also thwart a mass exodus of international investment and tourism.
    In response, the government deployed the Jamaica Defense Forces onto the city streets in what is described as a “major military operation.”
    Maj. Gen. Antony Anderson, Jamaica’s national security advisor, told CTV News Channel on Friday that authorities imposed a military lockdown of the area, following 335 homicides in 2017, and as reported by CTV that is “twice the tally of any other parish” in the country.

    Anderson noted that the number of shootings and homicides have been growing for some period of time, but last year, the surge in deaths could not be ignored rolling into 2018. He said much of the problem resides on the outskirts of Montego Bay and that “Jamaica is still open for business.”

    The recent crime surge in Jamaica has been driven by conflicts between criminal gangs over the control of the lottery trade, drug wars, and even turf wars.
    Maj. Gen. Anderson describes the state of emergency which gives military troops “more freedom of action.”
    “For instance, they can do searches without a warrant, so if they get information that something is occurring somewhere, they can respond rapidly to it. They can respond to a series of intelligence-driven operations to target and capture the people who are doing these things and generally disrupt the gangs in their activities,” he added.
    Police officers in St. James have listed the top five most wanted men in the parish. They are urged to turn themselves in immediately. Call the Montego Bay Police at 953-6191, or call/text/WhatsApp information to the tip line @ 837-8888. pic.twitter.com/NHVgt3V64n

    According to Loop Jamaica,
    The entire parish of St James is now locked down by members of the military in what is being reported as a limited state of emergency that has been imposed by the Government. Soldiers are visible stopping and searching motor vehicles at various points in the parish where 335 murders were recorded last year.
    There has been no let up to the bloodletting in the parish this year, with criminal attacks there moving to the point where in a daring attack by gunmen armed with AK-47 assault rifles, a man was killed and others injured in an incident on the roadway near the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, the parish capital and the national tourism centre, earlier this week.
    Government forces are conducting door to door operations in St. James.

    We went to Jamaica on our honeymoon 20 years ago. It was a sh!t hole back then and guess what...?

    I'd seen the effects of abject poverty and the squalor it breeds before. With the exception of a stop at Port-au-Prince I'd never seen such obscene, violent poverty in my life. To this day I truly feel sorry for the people of Jamaica. People I saw living in cardboard boxes in Mexico and the people living out of shipping containers in Dominica were a step-up from this.

    And they told us not to wander off the resort grounds because it was dangerous....20 years ago.

    Not to drift, but the best dog meat tacos I ever ate were in Mexico.
    We use to surf/dive/fish down the Baja. Banditos were a real threat and we encountered them a few times. Fortunately for us my cousin was a SD Detective, armed, and spoke fluent Spanish. When the pickup truck full of bandits rolled into our camp at 4a.m. they were met with gunfire from my cousin. Didn't seem to have a problem after that night....
