I keep hearing people saying it is worse. Tour guides Warning tourists never to leave resorts (always been the case in the last 10 years), warnings at airports of possible hijack/robbery when leaving the port (always been the case last 10 years). Etc etc etc.
the big difference I notice of recent is the ease at which PN are active crooks, highwaymen, murderers, gangsters. In the past they kind of kept it under wraps, might pull someone down a dark road, or early hours. These days they don't care, daylight rush hours they are at it, they are now robbing natives more often than ever before, in their own barrios, outside their homes, in busy colmados. It seems the law is now bigger than the law and quite simply does not care. On the east side of the cap, even locals, people who have lived in the same homes for many years are turning and taking new routes when they see PN. They even take on responsibility of traffic cops now and are stopping my relatives who are taxi drivers, for tips. In years gone by they would not have gone anywhere near the taxis for fear of retaliation.
in all the big difference is the PN, they have upped the game now and are out of control, not that they were ever under control, but it is a different game now, they are now fearless, which is frightening. As much as the country has given me in terms of happiness, I am glad I do not live there anymore, I really do feel like the place is going backward, downhill on ice and no one seems to be doing anything to get it together.

I really wonder if it continues as it is that if in the not so distant future, the island will be inhabited by Haitians and Dominicans alone, bar the odd few hardcore stubborn old timers who simply wouldn't budge for an earthquake. I certainly know of many people wanting out but can't because they can't sell.

I think if you have a bubble you can be fine, but who wants to move to a Caribbean island to live in a bubble.

I also truly believe the PN are responsible for most robberies and murders, off duty or on duty I think PN are responsible for a hell of a lot of sh1t, more than other crooks, maybe 75% of crime.

i wonder how this ties in with the HUGE and i do mean HUGE cocaine busts.... source of income drying up?
