Jamaica Gleaner News - Commish expects an early election - Sunday | January 22, 2006

What does it mean to look on the bright side these days? This is the "positive spin" from Police Commissioner Thomas on the record breaking murder rate in Jamaica- you only have a 1 in 5 chance of being murdered if you're not involved in organized crime - that's 20%!

"Last year, more than 1,650 persons were murdered in Jamaica, the worst in the history of the island. But, despite the horrific murder rate, Commissioner Thomas told the gathering that, based on police intelligence, there was an 80 per cent chance that persons who were not involved in organised crime were not likely to be murdered."

Fabulous, I feel so much safer now.
