As a Caymanian I don’t really understand why caymanians blame everybody else for things that WE allow to happen. at the same time, a portion of the crime here does seem to be committed by Jamaicans. I don’t think it’s fair to say that this is Jamaican culture but it’s also ignorant to pretend that there isn’t a Jamaican criminal element here. A real discussion needs to be had about how large we want our population to grow how fast and what we want that population to consist of.
So many issues. Not the same Cayman. Sad. Sad. Sad.
I hear that for at least 14 years now.
Welcome to Camaïca ! As the violent crimes multiply in spades around the island as they once did in the Bahamas , I wouldn’t be surprised to see the financial services industry to vote with its feet .
CIG has only itself to blame for this by creating and abetting a very divided society . Unfortunately the failures of the education system here are starting to show and it will take much longer than everyone expects to see the situation return to a semblance of normalcy . No amount of legislative agitation on the work permit front can replace providing the local population with an education in adequacy to the needs of the industries that are the lifeblood of the island.
In 2009 there were at least 6 murders-14.46 per 100k population.
2010-15.88
Jamaica:
2009-60.20
2010-51.49
Meanwhile, the country is paralysed because 9 people went ‘through’ the hospital with COVID.
When did we become Jamaica? Thanks Mac!
And thank Chris Saunders for what is to come
You people really hate Jamaicans always blame Jamaica for every crime that is committed in Cayman. Its not fair
Not every crime. Just the majority. And that is usually fair.
Yeah they act like no where else in the world has crime but Jamaica,why don’t they talk about their precious America with everyday mass shootings in public places and schools.
Umm. A disproportionate amount of crime in the USA is committed by Jamaicans. Anyone remember the DC sniper? His young accomplice actually spent time here in Cayman. There is a cultural issue that Jamaicans need to face up to and address. Just sayin.
Are we having everyday mass shootings in public places and schools now?
Let’s talk about what’s happening in the Cayman Islands.
Everyday people die by the gun in America especially when it comes to active shootings, a hurricane doesn’t even kill as much people in the Caribbean as an active shooter does in America but a soon as anything happens in Cayman first thing comes out of your mouth is Jamaica,and your only come back is about the DC sniper, what about the Las Vegas shooter and the many more that has been and is to become, my point is America is a 3rd world shithole and I would take my chances in Jamaica before I go to America.
