Nothing will quell a riot or dampen looting like the sight of US troops in Humvees with full combat gear, including rifles and machine guns. That's what they need to see immediately.

To hell with them, let their former Euro colonial masters come to their aid.

As the liberals, dems and media whores always scream, we do not need to be the police man of the world. Sarcasm/off

"To hell with them"

For your sake, I hope the next time you need help, the person you ask says the same thing. However, it's what you deserve.

She is on 7 mile beach in a condo, but her
house is near West Bay, just north of the
Turtle Farm on the iron shore.

You know the little Fosters on West Bay Road?
The employees were over powered and the store
stripped clean by these roving gangs of thugs,
many wielding machetes.

Good idea except there's no "airport" building now.
It is closed and inoperable. I reckon they've
shut it so the Free Port businesses won't be looted.

They are boarding in the hangars... (note I spelled hangar correctly..LOL).

In other words, there is no place to "sit to wait" for
flights. I will call Delta in the morning.. and if
their flight is going into Cayman as scheduled, then
I will notify Debra to hurry to the airport to catch
her flight.

Otherwise, it is too dangerous to venture out on the road
just to be turned back should the flight be cancelled again.

The thugs are robbing passers-by.

I know it well... That really sucks... but what to expect... Our place was demolished ... the roof taken off... 31 years of stuff strewn everywhere I am told.... friends are safe in west bay though... I will be going down in a week and half to try to bring home anything left and then deal with rebuilding... This is a picture of the backside of our place... We are beween the Westin and the new Ritz... We are in the front on the beach... Structure is still standing... the blue building in the foreground is where Eats Cafe is...

Did you not note the sarcasm/off?

As a South Floridian, I always think of the island people as our neighbors, which they are. Lots of them have migrated to this area, where they are productive citizens, not to mention more friendly than many of our native born citizens. I never can get why so many Americans don't give a damn about them. Their countries are practically right next door.

I'm all for it....helping....

Cayman used to be fairly civilized....bet hip-hop thuggery has infected there as well.

Shame.....it's sure infected the white underclass here in Nashville.

Oh God,
the photos says it all.
I know your place well.
Be CAREFUL.
I am so thankful my daughter decided
to leave with her children, thus
sparing me from having to be in flight
right now as previously planned.

"Did you not note the sarcasm/off?"

Yeah, but I didn't get the point. If you didn't actually mean "to hell with them," but were being critical of those who seem to feel that way, then I owe you an apology.

Hey, if I am not mistaken is not the grand Caymens part of Great Britan. If so than why does the good ole U S have to send in troops let the brit's do it. Hell we cant get involved in every rescue in the world our troops are already extended enough. lay off.
