KINGSTON, Jamaica – Ships from Miami steam into Jamaica's main harbor loaded with TV sets and blue jeans. But some of the most popular U.S. imports never appear on the manifests: handguns, rifles and bullets that stoke one of the world's highest murder rates.
The volume is much less than the flow of U.S. guns into Mexico that end up in the hands of drug cartels — Jamaican authorities recover fewer than 1,000 firearms a year. But of those whose origin can be traced, 80 percent come from the U.S., Jamaican law enforcement officials have said in interviews with The Associated Press.

New Year - anything new?????
Happy New Year 2009 to everybody who might come here along ...
and some questions on your way:
Do you really believe into news for the next year, I mean something really new
Than have a look right here
http://kingstonian.blogspot.com
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There might be some questions from some persons like:
Why, why people are killing people?
Yes, we could simply answer:
Keep your stupid mouth and do not ask such stupid questions.
But if the persons continues to ask such stupid question, we could propably say only one time the truth:
We like to kill in Jamaica.
We just like it.
We start with our little kids, we give them proper heats til they like what we like.....
If our kids are no more around because they just run away from us to elsewhere into the hills where they find food in gunja plants and do not nerv us up about anything different they could need apart from killing & stuff
okay then, then we heat our poppies properly... or our neighbours...
we like to not only say, but do it: I KILL YOU MAN
No, why we should change our manners, it' s nice to do what we do every day. We do not really want any change.
News? Are you mad? We do not want any news. It is sooooooo hard to change, no, no, no, we do not want this.

Confererence BLABLABLA
The issue of crime, particularly as it relates to the witness protection programme, was the main focus of june 12th's Vale Royal talks between the Government and the Opposition.

or leave it, if you do not trust into conference blabla while your kids do not know wether they should go for prostitution or the drugmafia or wether their parents do so for some food.
In fact gun crimes and other crimes are not really something new but therefore very old events in Jamaica that we can only wonder about such a meeting? What could be the real mind?
Are they going to put into the country some infrastructure that people can follow some normal jobs and work?
Really, not even one hour away from Kingston the bush is full with fruits and vegetables .. but there is no infrastructure in order to use the natural ressources of the country. Money is going somewhere else but not into such simple things to increase the country.
See here what I could talk about:
