Images and Hijacking

As I type, a plane is being hijacked at the Sangster International Airport. Praise God for Jesus, none of the passengers were hurt but the crew is still being held hostage. I am really praying that they will be released soon and that no one gets hurt.

This from the Gleaner:

The Government is working to protect Jamaica’s image following last night’s hijacking of the Canadian-bound flight.

Now I know that this is potentially disastrous for the tourism industry but the government must be delusional to think that the image of Jamaica is rosy. The fact is Jamaica is a dangerous place - mis seh so. Not even in Iraq where you have war you have so many people being murdered. The government plays the role of the hypocrite by trying to trick people, foreigners into thinking that the are absolutely safe here. Now that Jamaica has been exposed for what it is perhaps they will try to deal with the crime that has been devastating the country for years. This unfortunate situation of a plane of white people being hijacked may spur on the government to deal with this problem of crime. The truth is Jamaicans have been held hostage by crime for years. But the government ,instead of dealing with it, has tried to cover it up to present a good image to the world. But see it yah, now we naked to the world and our shame exposed.
