Headline in the SXM morning paper today....."ONE DEAD IN FRENCH QUARTER SHOOTING". Another one dead on the French side. Out of concern A local businessman rightly spoke out about the increasing violence in Grand Case and some residences and local business owners pushed back. I wound not go to that area at night NO WAY. So many other places that are much safer to eat out at. To me the problem is real on the French side, always something wrong going on. The Gendarmes have their hands full with ever increasing aggression from mainly and out of control and often violent youth. Look at Sandy Ground. The Police don't seem to have control or almost afraid to stop them, if they can. It's not easy I am sure to fix, hopefully something will be done or thier further as a tourist spot will suffer. Tourism is very fragile business and needs to be protected because SXM has NOTHING else to feed them!
