I have been living in the United States for 17 years. I visit Jamaica every year for vacation and to see my extended family. I just learned of a policewoman's death in Hanover and I grew up with this policewoman. When I learned of how she died, it changed my mind about coming back to Jamaica. I just do not want to have anything to do with Jamaica. This woman was born and grew up in the area, and for someone to murder her, like a hog, is a disgrace to all. No wonder Jamaicans are suffering like this. How could that animal do this to her?

Pastor, I am telling you, if anyone asks me about visiting Jamaica, for vacation, I am going to reply: "Go at your own risk."

Dear D.A.,

I understand how you feel, but I would ask you not to give up on Jamaica. Everyone has to be in the struggle to fight crime. It is everybody's business. So, don't stay abroad and condemn the Government, join in the fight.

Pastor
