“The gunman robbed the passengers?” In Jamaica?
Impossible! LOL!
If you ever win a free trip there - do not go. Dangerous toilet.
If you want aggressive people coming up to you every 3 seconds trying to sell you pot then rob you - you will love it. Just take out life insurance before you go.
I wonder how many of those travelers changed their travel plans from Mexico and went to Jamaica instead.
St. Thomas or St. Johns, but Jamaica........never!

Went there on our honeymoon. Big mistake. Will never go back and have advised several friends not to go there. We were solicited (aka harassed) to buy every drug imaginable from the moment we got off the plane. Harassed constantly to buy trinkets from the locals.
Shady characters, rampant druggies and criminals everywhere. We were advised by one local not to frequent certain parts of Montego Bay, otherwise “we won’t come back” were his exact words.
Unbelievable poverty in that country, very sad especially to see the children.
My Jamaica drug-bust story (post 42) fits in with your Jamaica drug-sale story.
The probable drug-bust racket is simple, efficient, and profitable.
“people coming up to you every 3 seconds trying to sell you pot “
I had that experience once, on the beach at Ocho Rios. Politely told the Jamaican basically to sod off, and he walked away. Of course, this was 1975. I imagine they’re more aggressive today;)
