Crime is everywhere,but when it actually happens to you in a particular place especially with a gun it is unsettling. Folks should be aware and it should not be dismissed as everywhere. It's not just a bad experience, it is a life threatening experience and shan't be dismissed as crime is everywhere. Gun crime isn't anywhere I go a second time. So I will be vigilant on Sxm as potentially the only place I go intentionally knowing it is there to stay and have fun with this and past information knowing there are a few bad and violent apples on the island and I will take all the precautions already mentioned about jewelry, cash, purses, etc. sorry for the run on sentence.
