      In making a video it is important to cover all angles. The crime rate in Jamaica, as well as Haiti, and Mexico is fueled by more than 90% by the massive number of illegal weapons that the USA turns a blind eye to leaving it's shores for profit. Without the guns these governments would be able to crush the criminals a long time ago. In most cases the security is outgunned. CARICOM has asked the USA to spend some of the '''war on drugs '''money to stop these weapons crossing their borders, but only ;promises. The remaining 10% that is causing the deaths in Jamaica, is Lottery scamming

      I feel like their presentation is just so off. a large difference in an area where locals try to tell you dont be a dumbass tourist. Because it happens there go figure. Saying "youll get robbed" to these guys they spazz out. "99% sure the context was don't go fuck around there after dark.. Which id give the same advise for anyone! If your not from a place dont pick the night time dressed in fancy clothes cell phone on a selfie stick already held 10 feet away from you." After a certain point tourists fucking beg for it., Have some sympathy, culture, and the class to not flaunt shit that people aren't looking at going "hmm id like that camera, instead hmm i could take cara my kids and pay my bills with that" While still bad I dont count stoupid actions that lead to obvious results mean an area is dangerous. I mean dude this kid talked over these guys in every other scene because he cant tell what they are saying so he just waits for pauses. Everytime he misses a chance though he goes interrupting. I love Jamaica to anyone who read my rants preciate ya!

    imho opinion, there's a bit of sensationalism here. My 35 years of experience in Jamaica says that you can find all levels of life in Jamaica depending on how you live. Generally the people are some of the most respectful and insightful people you can meet on Earth. Can be a true Nirvana depending on how you move and mingle. If you go looking for the undercurrent, its there. Like any country, but ultimately it has the most respect for people and philosophy that Ive ever experienced. Kingston has always had its own world sometimes referred to as Killtown. again .. search and you can find all levels. Bless

      Well said, the Europeans tend to gave a globalist agenda to undermine every non-European nation with the exception of the ones that lean towards a communist/socialist form of governance. Look at how developed all of Europe is. But now that the Asian country of China 🇨🇳 decides to invest in Africa and the Caribbean, this cause a rift in the geopolitical order of things. For decades America has claimed to be a “friend” of Jamaica, but this “friend” who is wealthy would not so much as help its neighbor to build its infrastructure so that prosperity can be achieved. But rather try to keep Jamaica as a dependent friend/nation. The friend who delivers in action exposes that the so-called “friend” in words alone was not really a friend. Sure every superpower has some kind of angle for why they do things. It’s no different from a corporation which has an angle as to why they conduct business. Terms of agreement can either be agreed on or rejected. Jamaica is a nation with a very powerful history and influence on the world. And this scares America. The Haitian revolution was orchestrated by a Jamaican. Marcus Garvey is Jamaican. The apartheid in South Africa had no opposition as vocal as Jamaica was.
      So as close as the relationship with Israel is to America . They are worried that Jamaica will be that close to the new superpower power.

    I live in Montego Bay and yes, there's daily crime here but there was just as much crime in my US city. Most of the crime here is gang violence or domestic crimes. As the man said, if you stay away from the wrong things, you'll be fine. I think that a good point was made about the resorts taking away from the locals and that tourists should be buying their souvenirs from craft markets, etc. I walk around downtown, alone and don't feel unsafe. This video using the word "war" so many times would probably scare tourists into not leaving the resorts, possibly hurting the economy even further... Just my thoughts.

    • @madmouse7915
      @madmouse7915 11 месяцев назад +7

      The resorts tell everyone to absolutely without question stay within the confines of the resort and only purchase things there. Vendors aren't even allowed on the beaches near the tourists. Beach access has been completely cut off to everyone by those resorts. People who've relied on those waters for fishing and other profitable opportunities have been cut off or drastically limited and soon to be cut off 🤷‍♂️. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer 🤷‍♂️💯. Poverty always draws crime, but you're right, it all depends on what you decide to do with yourself that determines how dangerous things will or won't be more often than not.

To me this is more realistic because privileged people and tourists in nice areas are oblivious to the other side. I see this so often with privileged people from 3rd world countries. They only want to show the good parts of their country and ignore the bad because it doesn't directly effect them.

We zigzagged from one side of the island to the other with no problems. Except stepping on a fire ant hill. I’d do it again anytime but not rainy season.

    When I was 23 years old I travelled to Jamaica with my sister. As an European I imagined I could travel the same way like you can in Europe. I just booked a flight, nothing else. We arrived at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, walked out the airport, basically with no clue where we gonna stay for the night. I didn't want to stay at the strip with all the fency hotels, so we just got a cab to Sam Sharp's square, in the area where you were filming. From there we walked to the end of Thompson Street and stayed at a local small hotel.
    I remember walking these streets, people stopped with their daily activities, like playing dominos, chatting with their neighbors, even the stray dogs on the streets seemed to realize that we are white people who don't belong in these neighborhoods, so their eyes would follow us all the way down the street.
    On the way to the hotel we had to eat something because we were so hungry, so we were looking for a place. One guy crossed the street and offered us help, we said we were looking for a nice restaurant to eat some real Jamaican food. He took us to local place, I invited him for dinner and couple of Red Stripe beers. I thought that would be enough for him. Aftet dinner he demanded 20$, which I didn't like, but gave him anyways. After that he decided it's still not enough and started following us on the streets. I really became terrified, it got dark already too. He asked caught up with us with another guy and said we still owe him more money fo his service. So I ended up giving him another 50$ I think, because he made it clear that he is not gonna let us go.
    Some other guys would shout at me, 'Hey white man, I'm gonna take your girl away' or 'I am gonna rape your girl'.
    So you can imagine how our first night at that hotel was. I was terrified that somebody gonna break in the door at night with a gun, because they followed us.
    In the end we stayed 2 weeks in Jamaica, drove around the whole island just in route taxis from town to town. Even spent some time in Kingston.
    But we learned not to trust people who come walking out of their way to help us.
    It was a great experience overall, I would go back to Jamaica. But there are neighbourhoods which are better to be avoided

Someone should tell him to go have a conversation with many Haitians who call Jamaica home. Yes there are quite a few Haitians in Jamaica who fled Haiti due to the violence there. For what it's worth I think this video is just exploiting people in lower class/poor communities. Haiti is a failed state while Jamaica is an emerging developing country.

There is so much happening that you can do or find anything you are looking for. The place is multi-faceted. Indigo Traveler could have easily done totally different videos about Jamaica.

    Absolutely narrow view of Jamaica. The focus was on Jamaica’s poorest neighborhoods and lacks context. Like every country on this earth, you have the rich, the very rich and the poor. Would have loved to see a more balanced view and more context. I think this video, not sure if intentional, is more of a spotlight on the plight of poor people in Jamaica and in no way represents the full spectrum of Jamaican life. The title should be “Walking Jamaica’s Poorest Neighborhoods.” However with the catchy click bait and given the popularity of Jamaica as a tourist destination, pretty smart way to push up those numbers.

    I was in Jamaica earlier this year and 100% agree with what you were saying about how they try to keep tourists on the resort, everything felt kind of scripted. The places they would tell us to check all seems to be money grabbing tourists traps. Also, our guide was telling us about how the cartel came down, not too long ago, and bought up most of the resorts and are using them to launder money. It’s a beautiful island with good hearted people it’s just still corrupted at the highest levels to the point it where money can buy you anything from a drivers license to building permit.

One thing on my wish list is to spend a year as a teacher there. I presently teach computer science in the USA, but I'd love to offer my experience there in some way. Not sure how I could do that.
    One thing I will point out, Sandals Resorts does dump money and support into the country, and the locals. Many times, I have brought school supplies with me and Sandals has a program that distributes it, but, Sandals was founded by Butch Stewart (RIP), who was a Jamaican.

But then I watch it and I'm like, 'I'm glad I watched that. I know something now I didn't know before.' The gnarliest country I ever travelled in was Mozambique, 1998. Keep up the good work. If I weren't old and poor, I would still be out there going to places. When I look back and filter all my experiences, Mozambique and South Africa were the most memorable and it was directly related to the danger. It's like, when you're in these places, you're hyper aware of the dangers, but this hyper awareness seems to translate to being hyper aware of the beauty when you encounter it. You know? Like that shot of Montego Bay you include is just breathtaking. In Mozambique, I saw things that took my breath away. I will never forget them as long as I live. I could have gone to a safer destination like Botswana (and I would like to see that place), but I'm happy I went to Mozambique during that time.

They wouldn’t allow terrorists to walk their streets with long guns. They don’t mess about.

    This is the one thing I hate about tourists when they visit Jamaica, specifically the tourists who are fascinated by the ghettos, is that they often portray Jamaica as if there's only 2 sides the resorts and the ghettos. In reality Jamaica has more like 5 sides, the resorts/tourist areas, the ghettos, the wealthy and gated communities, regular housing schemes/suburbs, and rural Jamaica. Most Jamaicans DO NOT live in the ghetto. I've never been to the ghetto I don't even know what gunshots sound like. The experience of people living in the ghetto is unique and not the majority. Most Jamaicans live in regular communities working regular jobs or are entrepreneurs.
    If influencers are going to show the "real" side of Jamaica then the ghetto isn't the only area to share. But it's funny how it's the only place they want to visit.

      Jamaica is fine this guy is sensationalizing it. Most of Jamaica is rural, the ghetto makes up a small part of the island. You go where you're supposed to go and you'll be fine which is the same advice that works for every country you travel to.

    Good video but I feel like certain aspects of it were overhyped. That kind of police and military presence is commonplace in lots of developing nations

      Bro that was regular downtown mobay shopping district. It’s a little hectic but not tense like things are just gonna pop off at any moment. It’s sketchy late at night there ,cause no one’s around, but during the day and early evenings it’s fine.

    As a Jamaican all I can say is that we have to come together and get rid of poverty and make sure everyone has something to do to make a honest living, and then we will reduce crime by uniting all communities against wrongdoing

    As a Jamaican, the emphasis on crime in this documentary is a bit exaggerated. Yes the crime and violence is high but most of it happens when you mix up in badness. A regular person might only get robbed.

    I was in Jamacia in Nov 2023. I went off the resort. Didn’t run into any danger. Our driver took excellent care of us. I definitely saw the military and highly armed police. Our tour guide to us that Jam on Jam crime may be high, but the only tourist that run into problems are the ones up to no good. I look forward to returning to Jamacia in 2024. I didn’t see the entire island, but this video does not represent all of Jamacia. Please don’t let this video scare you off.

      Oh this video didn’t do it. The simple numbers did. Murders, robberies and god knows what else. I’ll stick to safer countries where going outside of the resort gates is not some kind of gamble.

    Jesus Christ. I've been to Jamaica three times over the last five years or so. How fucking heartbreaking it is to see the other side -- beyond the resort walls, off the excursion trails. It's so incredibly surreal to be watching a "Most Dangerous Places in the World" youtube channel and seeing footage of places I've actually stood, never the wiser. Fuckin' hell, man.

  • @maxkramer2404

    Your portrayal is wrong. Rarely does the innocent ever get targeted especially if your a tourist unless involved in crime. Most of the killings are between those involved in scamming. It's still bad but don't make it seem there's people just going around killing innocent people.
