Jamaica is murder capital of the world . . .
KINGSTON, Jamaica (UPI): Dubbed last week the murder capital of the world, Jamaica recorded its 13th murder in the first four days of the year, the Jamaica Gleaner said Thursday.
Three double shootings happened within nine hours beginning Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, the newspaper said.
The murder capital designation was made earlier last week by the BBC, which said Jamaica has now been classed the murder capital of the world, after 2005 saw more than 1,600 people killed; a tally of at least five people murdered a day.
(History: In 1974 Prime Minister Michael Manley outlawed the private ownership of firearms and ammunition on this Caribbean island nation. Today, they are world famous with the new title above. Doesn't that just want to make you head there for vacation? Isn't it just great that liberals want to try this same failed experiment here on a bigger land mass!)
