Not much gets past this forum if it’s happening on SXM. Some of the people here are as expert as anyone including those who live on the island and those who have visited often and for a long time.

If it’s mentionable here, it is important.

Awareness allows people to properly tune their radar antenna gain to the situation whether it be grand case, front street and now parrotville.

It is when tourists go ladida in the wrong place they can be victims.

SXM is better than almost every other island (except some boring ones).

It would be good for the island to project a more confident and competent law enforcement/justice system.

And yes, I would say the island is “less safe” than when we first arrived but I wouldn’t declare it “unsafe”.
