I always say that Jamaicans are passionate people. Sometimes people have a difficult time understanding why it is so common for Jamaicans to take the law into their own hands and attack people who commit certain crimes (child molesters/ rapists etc). Take a look at this story that appeared recently in the Jamaica Star. A woman leaves her 2 year old daughter with her uncle to run some errands and comes back to find her baby molested. Bleeding from her vagina.....
The Jamaica Star :: News :: Two-year-old niece molested...MOB BURNS UNCLE'S HOUSE :: September 29, 2009
How do you hear that and not think this man deserves to be beaten so severely and taught a lesson to make sure he would never dare harm another child like that again? It's passion, Jamaicans see something like this happen and they think, what if it was my son/ daughter? They feel the pain for the innocent little child and that makes "innocent until proven guilty" seem insignificant. What becomes significant for them is to act. Act to seek revenge for a helpless child, act to protect all their children from harm, act to make sure that all the child abusers out there know what will happen to them if they choose to act out their evil desires.
There is a saying in Jamaica 'If you mess with children, you better hope the police catches you first'.It is understood that there will be retaliation if they are caught. I wonder if there would be less instances of child molestation in the world if child molesters were more afraid to be caught by people than by the cops........
