This crime thing hitting too close to home now!(assault on lady chancellor hill)

[~*Ashiee*~]

Ok needless to say this is very early news, I just got the call that there  has been a shoot out on UWI Mona campus, and yuh know yuh girl wanna come home now more than ever. This happened in the middle of the day I mean the sun is still up for God's sake!

Reports so far say that someone was at the scotiabank on campus, and some bandit tried to rob them. A security officer observed this and went to the student's assistance, when the robber shoots the security officer. The a shoot out started...

I know nothing else will be keeping you all informed...
By the Way, scotia is a central location it is next to 2 halls of residences as well as the kfc on campus and the main library.....so boy!!

As of now there are 2 versions of the story...

1  that some guy try to rob some1 at the atm and the guard get shot

2. that it is 2 guys from august town (a ghetto close to campus) who in gang fight and finally meet each other

People seem to be saying it is more the 1st one that happened though...

WOW I thought something more educated would come out of this. Maybe you should step into Jamaica before you make general blanket statements like that. People are going to say that Trinidad is just as bad....but all I know is I am lucky to live in parts of two high crime countries that virtually crime free...

Hope you all know that years ago in 2005-2006 there was a shoot out on St Augustine campus, and there was another incident where robbers shot a guard and stole his gun....are you suprised by that?

A security guard was up to last night in serious condition in hospital, after he was shot and injured on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI), after warring gangs clashed over who should get work on a construction site.

Three men were, up to last night, in police custody in connection with the incident. The police also seized a firearm and one of the men was shot and injured.

According to Inspector Steve Brown, information officer at Operation Kingfish, just after 1:00 p.m. yesterday, gangs from August Town, Mona Commons and Goldsmith Villa were arguing over who should get work on a construction site.

The men, some of whom were armed, began to fire at each other near the campus' main library. They were reportedly challenged by an off-duty policeman.

Inspector Brown said, some of the men began to run towards the Bank of Nova Scotia building, when the security guard, who heard the shots and had gone to investigate the incident, was shot.

A security guard who was near the library said she saw the armed men running towards the bank. She said students started to run and scream, while others got flat as shots rang out at the institution.

The police said they were concerned that the incident happened before scores of students but for several hours they were unable to piece the information together, as nobody was willing to provide them with information.

For the record the reason I said it was because of a friend living in Kingston the past 5 years now and said its THAT BAD, so I am not merely saying it based on reports or news sensationalization. Jamaiaca's crime issue was also reflected by MANY of the Jamaican student that I went to UWI St. Augustine with, they were usually APPAULED by the news they heard back home ESP during elections. You may have rightfully jumped on someone like Reaper for being misguided, however do not assume that I am even remotely in the same category, and YES it IS that bad in T&T too, not as bad as the news may paint us, but the fact that 80% of the DAMN country has to be EXTREMELY weary when staying out LATE to LIME SAYS SOMETHING. CRIME FREE MY @$$, consider yourself QUITE lucky.

And for the record I was not trying to attack you just saying we can't make blanket statements, fact is you are right both countries are bad they both freaking bad and we have to live in them....

they both bad it is true...i say we give the region ten years and if they dont get they act together we migrate

Assault on Lady Chancellor Hill
2007.12.17
 
Many persons make jogging a part of their exercise routine and Lady Chancellor Hill is one of the most popular areas for this type of activity. Unfortunately, last Saturday, a female jogger was raped on Chancellor Hill just after 6.00a.m. As she got to the top of the hill, two men who were sitting on a railing as she ran pass, grabbed her, took her into the bushes and assaulted her.
 
As a result of this incident you are strongly advised not to jog alone on Chancellor Hill. It would be good security practice to always jog with company. A group would be best, preferably with men included. Plan your exercise routine so that you can benefit from the 'safety in numbers' principle when other joggers are on the hill. Even in jogging you need to practice good security. Stay alert and aware of your surroundings and take nothing for granted.

I am going to merge this topic with your last one, since it basically talks about the same thing. Carry on.
