Bloody Christmas

Sadly this Christmas season has turned out to be one of the bloodiest in Jamaican History. There is no other Christmas season in recent memory when Jamaicans had to think about the murder of a senior police officer and the shooting of major politicians, as they have to do in 2007.

The Following Stories seem to sum up the recent events.

• 7 year old boy dies in Fire
• Remains of Gang Leader found
• Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin is Island's top Cop.
• Nephew Convicted in Trevor Berbick's Death
• Thieves target Dogs
• Old Woman Stoned

Sadly I can't keep up with some of the news in Jamaica. I would rather focus on the historical events of the country.

Army and Police want to merge in Jamaica

I tell you the new regime is not playing mon. Today, a new joint task force is coming together. They will operate out of the Police Commissioner's office on Hope Road. Former Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin is set to accept the position of post of Commissioner. This will be the first time the JCF (Jamaica Constabulary Force) and the JDF (Jamaica Defense Force) will combat crime together. I see they are not playing. The rude bwoy dem and gang bangers better take heed, they intend to clean up Jamaica by hook or crook. Seems like Jamaica might need some more Jail built.
