OK Katie.Keep your head buried in the sand.
This is a growing problem and you know it.
I was in Belize last week and watched the news. Marleni had five murders start the newscast.
San Pedro has about 20,000 people. I think the murder rate there is much higher per capita than anywhere, USA. Belize City has how many people, 60,000 maybe?
I sell Belize to tourists. A lot. Just like you.
It gets harder every year.
Things are out of hand. It will only take one tourist shot accidentally by a gang banger or drug dealer. It could have happened the other day in the middle of the afternoon on Front street.
