Shopping & Chopping
It is time to outlaw the wearing of balaclavas and face/head coverings in public. N94 masks and the like can still be permitted for the elderly and the immunocompromised. But why is it that some many guys in the bright yellow or orange construction site shirts are going around with their faces totally concealed? They’re no longer on the jobsite, so what are they hiding from? Are they overstayers? Are they on the run? Clearly a bad element is taking advantage of society’s acceptance of total face and head coverings since COVID. I see people driving alone in a car with the windows up and their head and face completely wrapped up in what looks like a t-shirt. Clearly these people are hiding their identities from someone. Cayman is very small. If someone has overstayed their permit or visa or has committed a crime and is on the run, they can easily take advantage of society’s acceptance of totally concealing one’s identity behind a mask. We need to wake up people and see this as the threat that it clearly is.
Welcome to Riffraffistan
Eastern Avenue has been left to ruin. Look at the state of the roads, the lines can barely be made out, and it’s not like this area doesn’t have its fair share of crashes.
The whole area smacks of neglect. Shanty houses, shop fronts that look like they were installed about 30 years ago, and a real feel of decay. The kids growing up in this area become ghetto-fied, and the cycle continues.
The robberies are not a surprise, unfortunately.
Welcome to JuJu’s Cayman
you know, it sure is telling that the stores like kirks and hurleys and even the Camana bay fosters have parking specifically for police cars even though they hardly if ever get robbed… but the same places on eastern avenue that get robbed constantly yet… the police are never in the area
Its almost enough to make you believe the police and government prioritize making those of certain financial means feel safe over others…
Used to be Heaven before the Jamaicans started taking over.
Eventually we will all just become desensitised to these things, the next type of crime on the rise is vehicles being stolen, welcome to Hell.
Correct. Just like fatal traffic accidents. One would think that the speedracing jackasses would slow down and be safer drivers, but it fazes none of them.
The fall of proper culture is depressing.
