This comment is priceless!

It's pulic knowledge that Jamaica has one of the highest murder rates per capita in the world.

There is an area called Maxfield Park where violence has once again erupted. A 50+ year older shopkeeper and her assistant was murdered on Friday, supposedly because they witnesses a double murder a few days ago.

The problem that police in Jamaica have, is that witnesses are always reluctanct to come forward because they are then targeted. This is a fact, not conjecture. I have said that if I ever saw a crime here, I would leave the island post-haste and not testify. Other people can be noble. Not me.

So here the police is commenting on this fact, and I just thought his quote was priceless...

The killings caused two women, a young girl and a man to hold hands, kneel and pray out loud.
"You make the arrest God. There is too much violence. Too much blood. Help us Jesus," a man prayed aloud at the murder scene yesterday.

"When the violence erupt they only pray but they won't tell the police anything. The only name they call is Jesus," one officer on the scene said.

Can't blame you. If the reward for disclosing such information is death then one is going to weigh the benefits and costs and most likely choose to keep his/her mouth shut.
