All the euphoria surrounding the Olympians performance in Beijing, China seemed to have washed off where the criminal elements in the society is concerned. How soon we forget! Oh that we could still be basking in the joy and pride the Olympians gave us. Now it saddens my heart to be listening to the news again and hearing of death and mayhem in my society.

It's time that all of us as Jamaicans wake up and realise that we have something that's unique; and stop settling. It's no use that athletes like Asafa, Usain, Shelly-Ann and Melaine are placing us on the map and we go ahead and in flip destroy everything they have trained hard to accomplish.

Brand Jamaica is planning a big marketing strategy around their accomplishments, but unless they deal with the sore that is crime in Jamaica, then all their work will be in vain.

We can't try to lure tourists to our beautiful island and they can't feel safe. How can we ask them to come saying 'no problem' when we can't even guarantee that some thugs won't break into their hotel rooms and rob them blind?

Deal with crime. It's time to stop talking about tough measures and actually put measures in place.

It's not just the government's responsibility either, it's everyone's job. The saddest thing in all of this is that men are not the only culprits. Women are actually involved in hold ups and actually shooting people.

So just where do we go from here? It's everyone's task. We can't enjoy the glory if we are not prepared to do our part in protecting the country's image.

Wi as blaks a complain bout racism but wi our own gratest enemy ! Wi a turn pon one another and wi a embrace artistes who a glorify crime. All a wi as society nid fi shun such and artistes a shuld sing gainst crime. Goverment a shuld a cam wid policies fi increase employment level & education.Ghetto yutes haffi needs also and di haffi nuh means but fi turn 2 crime.

Combating grime alone nuh easy, majority crimis haffi nuh oder means fi survival.

greeting to all my jamaica people in the name of Jesus. I agree with your comment,you said the right things jamaican need to stop the wickedness and look to god more we are such a bless nation and it about time we give god thank in stead of sins,they seems to forget "out of maney we are one"From what I see going on in Jamaica The police are not better than the gun man them they are robbing , and killing enocent children just like the gun man them look at spaga benz son and not to mention the rest every time them claim there is shoot out its all way there words agains the dead person why they never bring any one in for justic, because dead man tell no tales so the problem is not just the bad man its all so the police .when you have a country with c-u-r-r-u-p cops the inocent will die because the bad man and the cops are the same only differance one is in uniform .I do thank god for all our star and hero's may god continue to bless them guide mould them and shape into what he want them to be .spraga benz may your son rest in peace and god bless you and your family .myself and family send our love from london.yard flex 1 luv every time ,2012 here we comes!!!!!!!
