It's more than poverty, though. On the different islands, there have always been different degrees of poverty and sections that are poor. And developing country Poverty is REAL.
The squatting isn't new, but the targeting and kidnapping of returnees is relatively new. As are the executions. It's not enough to take money, now they have to kill people.
Wasn't like this before.

I think very deeply
That's why some Jamaicans have decided to retire in some of the other islands, which they shouldn't even have to do. It's sad. There are cities with many times the population that don't have nearly as much murders.
And yeah, apart from the homicides, some of the shyt that happens out there will make your head spin. There's no deterrent though because the court system is shyt and most of the police are corrupt as fukk.

An entire nation is wicked because someone burned down your parent's house.
I understand the pain but there is no reason to come to such a harsh conclusion. Some of us need to learn to relativize.

This is why many people when they get away from impoverished areas generally stay away, not because they forgot where they came from but because they do remember, and it is not worth coming back. All it takes is for a few people out of thousands to be jealous of what you have and take you out like it was nothing, and it ends up being a double negative for the community. You have people that were from there scared to come back and invest, so the only people who do will not be understanding like a local is and treat them like shyt.

Yes. Sir P dispelled that fable some time ago. The murder rate is much higher if you include all the people that go missing yearly.
do they know that mutha mukuh who burned the house down
I'm very sorry this happened.
My Dad's ex literally sold land in his name without his permission to numerous unsuspecting people and because he had connections, he was able to get it all back.
They already started building.
That bytch is a marked woman. She knows she can never, EVER go back. I don't even think they'd find the body.

So y'all said Jamaica used to be one of the most peaceful places on earth, what preceded all the violence?
It's wild because my mother always talks about how back in the day in South Africa they didn't even have to lock their doors at night. This was around the 60s as well, same time y'all said Jamaica was peaceful. Never worried about violence. She grew up during the apartheid era though, and it seems like all the violence that it took to overthrow the apartheid government along with the income inequality just took the country in a different direction.
Do y'all have any theories on what caused Jamaica to go down the path it's going now?

Here is the odd part, and the gunman/vagabon will never understand or care. It's the remittances from their diasporas that are often keeping local communities afloat. The people they are killing are the ones who have pumped money into those towns for decades.
Some demons killed a South Florida based Haitian pastor when he was on a mission in Haiti last month. You can imagine how many people that church has helped, how many businesses they helped people set up, how many people they put through school. When even that Pastor doesn't get a pass, nobody with roots in that town is safe coming back.
