salvation_army_logo_edit.jpgCrime continues to give the country a bad reputation. The situation worsened when a US-based church mission had to cancel plans to come to Jamaica arising out of the fact that 39 of their members were roused from their beds and robbed at gunpoint at the Salvation Army at Mannings Hill Road in St. Andrew hours before dawn on Monday.

According to reports gleaned by YardFlex the robbers were able to gain access to a secure area where the visitors were sleeping at the rear of the School for the Blind compound.

Among the stuff stolen were wallets, hand bags, digital cameras, cellulars before they made their escape at the back.

    "bronxmon" I agree. A place like Jamaica does need a iron fisted dictator. Don't blame the "guns" or "material things" though. Guns and material things are inanimate objects. The bad mind mentality is the true culprit of why Jamaica is the way it is. Guns don't fire themselves nor do material things worship themselves. People do pull triggers and worship. If I was the dictator of Jamaica I would roundup and execute all gunmen,rapists and murderers (I know that's harsh but these people a total detriment to Jamaican society -eye for an eye). Lock off the borders so cocaine and other hard drugs along with illegal guns couldn't get in. Legalize marijuana and gambling.

    T, please explain to me how your comment is productive. The blind people are already second classed citizens in a culture that care little for the diabaled and disadvantaged. These folks need help more than anybody else as the society has not set in place any sort of industries where the blind can work. They are 100% dependent on the Salvation Army and charities. Anybody who would rob from the most needy and vulnerable in society is lower than the most useless piece of trash. I hope when the perpetrators are found they get the maximum sentence for this crime.

    I would like Yardflex to please get some info from the Salvation Army so those who would like to make a donation to help them get another bus and such can donate to an account. Yardflex please get the info and post it. Thanks.

    Im not even the least bit surpised....people we are living in the last days. The bible told us these things were to happen so be not afraid of what you cant control. It clearly states inthe last days men heart will become desperately wicked,look around you, all over the world time is at hand, save your souls!

    Material things has become our God. we kill for it,envy for it and worship it 90 percent of the crime stem from it. In the days of old the children of Israel lost their way because of it.You see now its the devils time, he knows he is losing so he is taken as many as he can with him. People humble yourselves and do not be easily provoked by evil men, pray for them cause they really dont know the wages of ther sin. Yes the battle is on!
