How do we get rid of narco states?
Legalize it.. Works for Portugal and several other countries.
Colorado is having pot shortages after about a week! Stock up on Cheetos while you can!
How do we get rid of narco states?
As long as 20 plus years ago, when I first became "Addicted To Dominicanas", friends in Boston, when they asked me where I was going, and I replied,"To The Dominican Republic", would ALWAYS respond by saying,..."Is It Safe THERE"????
I USED to say "Yes",... up until about 10 years ago.
Which corresponds to the beginnings of the DR, as a "Narco State", and THAT was before Dominicans become addicted to the drugs they once only shipped on to other countries around the world!
And, it doesn't take a "Mensa Member" to see that it isn't getting ANY SAFER!!!!
"HUGS" there is "Crime" in other countries"??????
Who Knew????
Thanks for the "Heads Up", if I ever live anywhere other than HERE,...I'll be sure to "Watch My Back"!!!!!
The things about "EVERYWHERE Else BUT the DR",you can learn from our "Spin Doctors"!!!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Peter, I used to walk to worst Barrios in SD 20 plus years ago,3, or 4 am,never had to worry about "Crime" in ANY form.
Not only was anyone who ever robbed or assaulted a tourist "Beaten", sometimes they never came home in the morning.
Sadly the Government stopped worrying about the "Tourist Industry" over they ears, and it didn't take long for the criminals to see who were the easiest, and most lucrative, victims.
How do we get rid of narco states?
When I first came to Sosua in 1991, I met some locals living on the Los Charimicos side. They said that I'd never had to worry about getting anything stolen because the police were told to beat anyone who stole from a tourist, no matter how petty it was. "The Tourist is The Future, so The Tourist is King!" they told me.
How times have changed.
Providing crime statistics wold be useful. A long rant such as this saying "it happens everywhere" is not useful.
Crime stats are useless here, the people are afraid to report crime because of fear of retailiation either by the gangs, the police or both.
Tourists? What tourists in the Charamicos 1991?!!??? Maybe Dominicanos ausentes!
Thanks "P", I guess I no longer need to lock my doors.
The "Rest Of Us Who Actually Choose to Live In The DR", know that "Talk Is Cheap", "Results are FEW",.. and, You believe that ANYTHING a Dominican Politician says in a "News Release", bears any resemblance to "Real Life" here??????
I see you "Drank His "Mabi"!!!!!!
He also just met with over 100 Dominicans deported from the USA after completing their prison sentences for crimes they comitted there.
He was quoted as telling them,..."We will give you all the support you need to work, and reintegrate into Dominican Society"!
Can I get a "BULL$HIT" please??????
As ALWAYS, a "Politico" makes a speech and proclaims, We will do everything that is needed to make things better"!!!!
And, as ALWAYS, they never outline what the "Everything" IS!!!
When we had meeting where I worked here, it was Always the same thing!
"We will make the changes needed to improve our product delivery"!!!!!!!
I would Always ask them what those "Changes" were going to be, and who would be responsible to see that they are implemented????
"Blank Stares" all around the table!!!
After a while, after the Empty Proclamations were proclaimed.
Some Dominican would actually say,...."As CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC Always asks us,..."What's The NEXT STEP"??????
I ask "Dominguez Britto", and all the other politicians who make general statements about "Making Thing "BETTER",....
"Where's The CARNE"?????????
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
And how reliable would those stats be??? Folks we live in the 3rd world. There ain't no "sugar coating it".Providing crime statistics wold be useful. A long rant such as this saying "it happens everywhere" is not useful.

Your attitude to people's option to compare DR to elsewhere is very old, change the record, we all know you don't care but some of us choose to look at the big picture, not the bubble that is DR, is it not obvious no one cares if you don't care. This topic turned to tourism being effected by this sad occurrence, using crime elsewhere and the effect on tourism is very relevant, don't you think? or do you want to hijack and tell us all about your life elsewhere, sexual insecurities and VIP treatment at national, which is always totally acceptable, relevant and has readers intrigued, really!
I retract anything I have ever said on this forum, I can see it is not worth the hassle to share my exploits and I know shall vanish into thin air.....pooooooff, there I go!!

Same way we all got rid of the crime underworld fueled by Alcohol prohibitionists!
Remember PICHARDO tells us that tourism is not really important to the DR.
