Assistant Commissioner of Police Walcott Brown, one of three top three cops who's portfolio is to investigate illegal drugs and guns, is now commanded to investigate superior who is in charge of investigating corruption. On that same avenue that ACP Brown resides, a man was robbed and shot a week before and just young girls have been kidnapped and raped. Amidst all of this the Prime Minister and the Minister of Security are out of the country and everyone is very very quiet, not one PNP person is willing to even make a comment on this issue for fear of the facts. The belief is that country is in the middle or at the end of it's greatest crisis ever, a story of a corrupt government being held hostage by Colombian drug smugglers and a Mr. McGregor who fled the country Monday October 16th on the first Air Jamaica flight to Miami, in his possession - tapes of conversations of government members and others which could bring down the entire Government. It has been quite the week, no one dares travel at night, and I chain up my gate once I'm home.
Helicopters are everywhere in Kingston.
There are three leading theories for the crime wave now, Opposition parties trying to strike fear into the middle class, the ubiquitous Colombian drug connection, and rogue security companies trying to drum up business.
