Actually, Jamaica needs a Duarte or Pinochet not a Trump. They need an honest thug who’ll just make some people disappear and then step down after the job is done. Trump isn’t mean enough to deal with the Jamaican drug cartels.
(I am complimenting Trump so don’t yell at me)
Jamaica has had thugs in power for a long time.
Once the British left, it has been a quick downhill slide. There is no real rule of law in Jamaica. It is who you know.
“Jamaica is an island nation with draconian gun controls. It has one of the highest murder rates on the planet. It was not always so. In 1962, before independence, Jamaica had a murder rate of 3.9 per 100,000 population, one of the lowest in the world. It was lower than the U.S. murder rate of 4.6 per 100,000 in 1962. The U.S. murder rate in 2012 was slightly lower than in 1962; 4.5 per 100,000. Jamaica’s murder rate in 2012 was 45.1, eleven times greater than it had been under British rule. The firearms act was first passed in 1967. Draconian enforcement of the act began in the middle 1970’s.”
