No. I'm saying a majority of of "laid-back" Jamaicans have turned uncannily aggressive. Take a look at the West Indian parade in Queens, NYC. Do you notice every year about 3 or 4 people die. I'm pretty sure Haitians, Barbadians and Trinidads don't stab people purposely. It is the Jamaicans. Here is an example:
*American steps on a Jamaican's fresh pair of Adidas* Jamaican- Why you step pon mi shoe my youth? American- I'm sorry Jamaican- Mi a real bad mon my youth. Clean it up. American- How? Jamaican- Mi no give a rashole. Clean it up! American- Ummm, dude... We're in public Jamaican- *takes out a machete and constantly stabs the American*
Dude that is a huge generalisation, thats like me saying that the majority of people that listen to hip hop are gun totting thugs because of a few incidents. Half my family is Jamaican and i grew up around loads of other Jamaican families, they were some of the warmest and easy going people you could meet.
I realise that there are an increasing number of stories in the news about Jamaican violence but for every one of those there are thousands of other Jamaican families living quite peacefully. Its still definitely the minority ruining it for the majority.

Both paragraphs.I wrote my post wrong. I meant most, if not all of the nice and caring people and warm families are usually found in Mandeville, Montego Bay, etc. I am aware there are good families all over Jamaica, but most of the murders, smuggling and felonies are mostly around or in Kingston.
Which brings me back to the point of the topic. Don't you think the Jamaican's behavior play a role in the crime rate in the UK?
There has been gang like crime all over the world for a long time now. Nearly every country has its gangs be it Russia, Jamaica, China whatever so its only natural that in the world we live in where different nationalities live all over the world the gangs are going to start their shit wherever they may be.
In answer to your question, yes i do believe it plays a role but so do all the other gangs living there as well. Last time i was living in England the Triads were all over the news, so its just the Jamaican gangs that are in the news at the moment.
As for most of the crime in Jamaica being centered in Kingston thats probably because its the most populated.
