How did they get a machete? Only hard working gardeners should be able to own machetes, time for stricter machete laws.
Sooooo, guns for everybody then?
Did they speak? Did they have an accent??, a lisp, anything????!!
Wonder why the Hofficers no longer include such details….hmmmm.
I’ll bet their arms are tired by now. They should be easy to find.
Eastern avenue……. if you can’t afford to go Jamaica just walk down jameastern

That narrowed it down to just about EVERYONE in little Kingston.
It really does not help saying they are of a brown or dark complexion.
Neither would it help if they showed their ID. Police still would not figure out how to catch and prosecute them…..
Lol
Racist, of course it helps. It eliminates many of the white British, Canadian, and Australian bankers running amok with machetes, robbing everything in sight.
Especially those who sweep stuff under the many corporate veil maps. Better pay your high govt fees to live with the best set of people on earth here in cayman.
By the way, for those who don’t get it, that was a joke. Tut Alors is correct….
