#1 A beautiful island. And the creepiest place I've ever been. I wouldn't go back for free.

The local's take on things.

#2 Surely, the arrest and extradition of this miscreant will end the gang problem in Jamaica.

#3 aspolice clashed with powerful gangs over the planned extradition of a drug suspect to the United States.

Jamaica is an island. One would think the drugs coming into the U.S. could be interdicted. There's always the Predator solution.

Jamaica is a beautiful island. Negril is pretty sleepy--not at all like Kingston.

#4 I was in LA during the Bloods vs. Crips violence in the late 80s.

Then the Jamaican gangs moved in and the body and mayhem count went up by a factor of 10 or more. Nasty, violent. The Bloods and Crips, and later the Latin Kings, had a smidgeon of what passed for honor and belonging, however warped. The Jamaican gangs killed (and still do) because they felt like it and could. Nihilistic and value life less than dirt.

If interdiction had worked it would have worked a longtime ago.
