Otteralum, I've posted my ideas for the restoration of law and order on the island before. It starts with the Government of Belize actually starting to care about the island and re-investing our tax dollars back into proper policing, police pay, police accommodations, police morale. We need to make the island a plum post for our police to work. Right now being a policeman on Ambergris Caye must be a living hell.

In the meantime if the temporary solution is forcefully removing bad people and denying entry to same, so be it.

The only saving grace for all of the shootings we've seen so far in 2014 is that in most (tragically not all) cases the shooters have been bad shots. Our murder count would be a lot higher if not for that.

Taking pot shots (ha ha) at those who post "ideas" which amount to nothing more than old USA political arguments (Legalize all drugs, gun control debate, etc.) is something I reserve the right to do because they do not represent the solution to what ails Ambergris Caye. If I want to read reasoned debate on those matters I'll go to realclearpolitics.com or similar sites.
