I am totally disgusted by this behaviour by the Barbadian Authority/people, in fact, for all the other Caribbean Countries who continue to treat Jamaicans in this despicable manner.
When did Jamaica come to this!  An Island that was once the envy of all other Caribbean Islands, where the phrase “One from ten, equals zero” to an Island where these small demeanour dots think they can treat us this way!
This is a true test for this otherwise non performing Government, to put their feet down and make an example of this unfortunate situation and stand up for this young lady and the Jamaican people as a whole.
I for one, will certainly let my feelings known where ever I see these Barbarian people and others, including Trinidad and Tobago, Turks & Caicos, Bermuda and Bahamas, just to name a few.  I will no longer purchase anything from these Islands or support them in anyway.  You are all acting like the typical Africans we are, always fighting against each other like ‘Crab in a Barrel’.
At first, I was for this CSME, but now..to hell with that!!!
We need a Government to stand up for our people, if they can’t, let someone else run this beautiful Country I proudly call Home…Jamaica land we love.

Posted both in Jamaica and Barbados

Obviously Marlon Robinson is a Jamaican who has condemned Barbados and its people and other small ‘demeanor dots’ as he called us, for something that has not even been investigated yet.  This is either called ‘Jumping the gun’ or total ‘bias’ on his part.  In fact, since Mr. Robinson will no longer purchase anything from this ‘beautiful country he calls home’ or support it in any way, why don’t you find some other distant rock to slither to (as in SNAKE!).

As the saying goes…Peter pays for Paul and Paul pays for all. We in the Caribbean are tired of the” despicable” behavior of some Caribbean nationals who come to our shores - Jamaicans now especially! The violence, the crimes and their total lack of respect for authority. Maybe in Jamaica, they can get away with whatever they want but Barbados must protect what’s theirs and maintain a civil society. If this lady was stripped searched and cavity searched, that’s what it was, No Finger Rape. That cavity search is done in all parts of the world now that we have males and females putting drugs in their private parts!

LAWEDD,  YOU ARE REALLY UPSET. DO YOU GET UPSET WHEN YOUR OWN COUNTRY MEN ARE KILLING AND MISTREATING EACH OTHER?THIS IS NOT THE 60’S, MY SON, TIMES HAVE CHANGE. JAMAICA WAS ONCE THE ENVY OF THE CARIBBEAN, BUT LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY NOW..NO LONGER THE HIGHEST CURRENCY IN THE WORLD,BUT THE LOWEST ILLITERACY IN THE CARIBBEAN(OVER 5,000 CHILDREN FAILING COMMON EXAMS) AND THOSE SO CALL LEADERS(DJ’S) VYBES CARTOON SPEWING DEATH AND SALACIOUS WORDS INTO YOUR CHILDREN’S EAR.

NOW OVER IN ST MARTEEN, YOU’LL NEED A VISA TO LAY ON THE SAND.

START YUH BOYCOTT

MARLON ROBINSON…I have two words for you…guhlong!

This is a very sad story either way, I want to appeal to my fellow Barbadians to be very sensitive about the situation and refrain from making comments that can further aggitate the situation. To the Jamaican that made the comments about not purchasing things bajan, I also appeal to you and your fellow countrymen to not take matters into your own hands and let the process take its due course. I so wish that we caribbean people would come together.

My question is this .Must the island called Barbados accept every person that comes through our legal ports of entry with open arms ?Is Barbados to be all about CARICOM and CARICOM unity while others have no allegiance to it whatsoever .
If Barbados or any nation does not want you in their counrty go ahead .They have no obligation to let you in .Why not fight with America ,Canada and England ?

I am certain that a cavity search will not be done by a dentist . I am tired of Barbados becoming the whipping island of the Caribbean .It is high time instead of changes laws that pleases a few and get strick with our immigration policy .
At the end of the day Barbados is still 166 sq miles . We cannot even fine employment for our people ,yearly hundreds of students graduate from secondary and tertiary institutions and cannot find work .Many have to seetle for something that they was not looking for in employment after many hard years of money and studying . 

As soon as a CARICOM national has to be deported or refused entry into this island it becomes a national issues for the island involved .
How dare you all say that Barbados is anti CARICOM ? Just look at what we do and put up with that many others cannot be bothered about or is a NO   for them . if what Ms Mcclean is saying is indeed true people need to quit while they are ahead .

A little clarification please. Are we to assume that Daniel, who was sent to collect the lady, one and the same as the man of questionable character (referred too in some countries by the term ‘pimp daddy’) whose address was given to Immigration Department or has Ms Myrie changed her story?

a simple question: What treatment do we expect Bajans to receive when the visit Jamaica?

Before you judge let it be investigated.

I think all the ports of entry need to treat people properly irregardless of where you come from. I have entered a few and found that some of the Immigration and Customs authorities have some of the nastiest attitudes including Barbados and Jamaica.

We all need to tighten up and show proper customer service.

MASS RUPERT… the typical Barbadian is not profiled as a criminal!! come again…

Mr Robinson, you are indeed right, these “Dots"in the Eastern Caribbean certainly do not want to go the way of Jamaica.  Your Country Sir, is one step removed from Barbarism itself.  Your rambling nonsensical foolishness, highlight’s the failure of the Jamaican educational system.  If this supposed/alleged violated woman, was treated with scant respect, why did she not make her complaint obvious to the authorities, when she was on Bajan soil?  Jamaicans believe, in the entitlement mentality, someone always owes them something.  Hog wash Mr Robinson, you enter my country, you abide by my rules.  As far as Jamaicans wanting to exit the CSME, I dare your country to leave the CSME.  You Jamaicans need the CSME more that any of those so-called “Dots"in the Eastern Caribbean.  History lesson Mr Robinson, what English speaking country in the West Indies, has the lowest literacy rate?  Time is running out, stop your foolish threats.

Don’t let no Jamaican saber rattle.  Listen, this is a proclamation to Jamaicans, don’t come to the “Dot” Barbados that’s the envy of the Caribbean.  I certainly have never been to Jamaica, and don’t plan to go in my life time.  Let me see, what I’m missing in Jamaica, rampant crime, Illiteracy, despicable poverty, poor values, illegal/illicit drugs, women who are masquerading and covorting in lascivious ways.  Please Mr Robinson, do your country and yourself better, act as if you were at least the benefactor of a decent Jamaican education.

Are Barbadians more virtuous than Jamaicans? Have Bajans been turned back from Jamaica or are they so pure they come and go to and from Jamaica with Carte Blanche. If that is the case, the time has now come to review the policy by which they come and go. I also know, first hand, that tons of them live and work in Jamaica without any incident at all. Perhaps the time has come to revisit that as well. What do others think?

I have asked the many non-Bajan friends I have their opinion on this and here is a summation:
Immigration is not always friendly, BUT some people want to enter Barbados with just a plane ticket and expect immigration to be tolerant…
IF ...this incident is just as is reported then shameful, but there is more to the picture than what is being reported so wait before you jump…
WHY is the woman’s picture all over the newspaper if she is a victim of a sexually based crime.
Why is Barbados’ airport constantly the only one in the Caribbean where everyone can come in no questions asked.
For those who assume that non-Caribbean people come in and don’t get questioned need to spend a day or two at the airport and see for yourselves the runnings of the airport.
Lastly I want to ask this… when we in the Caribbean travel to other non Caribbean territories why is it that we humble ourselves and abide to their rules down to what we wear so we won’t have to spend a bunch of time being search from head to toe.

I must say I am a PROUD 19 YR OLD JAMAICAN and as Caribbean islands we should be trying to unite and fight other bigger bodies. Most of us have the same line of ancestry and even have families in other Caribbean islands. If Ms. Myrie says she was finger- raped the necessary investigations should be carried out to prove her wrong or right. To Mr. Alex, there is no need for the generalization of Jamaicans because I have Bajans in my class and don’t let me get started! We know persons may abuse their authority at times especially if they hate Jamaicans, so let justice be served and the truth revealed.

I went to college In Florida and had Bajans in my classes and if the literacy rate is as you claim, then they were not shining examples. I do not use these few Bajans to characterize all Bajans. However, the immediate dismissal of Miss Myrie’s claim is what is a sad commentary on Barbados. That is the main reason I will not be coming to Crop Over this year and have made sure that all my other friends have cancelled too. I know you are all happy and could care less if one less Jamaican woman comes, as I was so told yesterday by Bajan commentors on this site. And if CSME does not need us as you all report then we shall not be missed. I hope our leaders have the spine and balls to pull out now.

This is a unfortunate incident regardless of the outcome, and people need to stop spewing hatred at each other.

I would also like to clarify a few points and make a few comparisons.

1. Jamaica is not the does not have the lowest literacy rate in the English Speaking Caribbean.
2. Some Immigrations officers can be just as bad in Jamaica as they can be in Barbados.

Stop The Difference Below:

A. Jamaica: Crime, including violent crime, is a serious problem in Jamaica, particularly in Kingston and Montego Bay. While the vast majority of crimes occur in impoverished areas, random acts of violence, such as gunfire, may occur anywhere. The PRIMARY criminal concern for tourists is becoming a victim of theft. In several cases, armed robberies of U.S. citizens have turned violent when the victims resisted handing over valuables.

B. Around 250,000 British nationals visit Barbados each year (Source: Barbadian Immigration).  Most visits remain trouble-free although SERIOUS crime against visitors can occur at any time.  In the period 01 April 2009 to 31 March 2010, 89 British nationals required consular assistance in Barbados for the following types of incident: deaths (17 cases); hospitalisations (16 cases); and arrests, for a variety of offences (40 cases). During this period assistance was also requested with regard to lost or stolen passports (38 cases). There have also been cases of armed robbery and muggings of tourists.

You all carrying on as if you’re better than each other. You’re NOT. There are good and bad on both islands. This does not mean that allegations should not be investigated.

This incident only goes to show how polarize we are as Caribbean people. Most Jamaican seem to believe this young lady story, although to any season traveler this young lady story would raise a lot of question.  All I will say is: Any country has the right to protect its people and borders. Immigration in any Country can allow or deny entry to any visitors. I am sure the Barbados Immigration Authorities in Barbados had justifiable reasons to deny the young lady entry. I am a very experience traveler and from observation when a person enter a country and the Authorities think you have drugs they inform the police and the Customs Dept. Immigration will give clearance to enter the Country, when you get to the Custom DEPT. you are search with a fine teeth comb, if need be, you can be given a body search. If the Customs don’t find anything and they are acting on information that you are carrying drugs they might have you admitted to the Hospital. If the drugs were ingested eventually it will be passed out. I said all that to say that they seem to be a lot missing from the young lady story. To those Jamaicans who are saying the worse things about Barbados and Barbadians I am not surprise. Your Government only give lip service to Caricom. Before this incident occurred the Jamaican Prime Minister made it Quite clear he was not in favour of accepting the CCJ as the final appellete Court for Jamaica. I will conclude by saying that I am all for Freedom of movement of the REGIONS people, with built in mechanism to keep out certain elements from all countries, not only Barbados

This is not about unproven allegations by one Jamaican woman. These responses reveal the usual, petty animosity towards Barbadians by other Caribbean persons who cannot accept our success as a nation.
We don’t have the bauxite,the oil or the goldmines.We have the strength and spirit of the Bajans who built this country and this economy and understood the power of education and stable government. And we will not allow their legacy to be trampled by those who want to flout our laws and disrespect us. Get it straight.
CSME, CARICOM and a Cropover visit can’t come before Barbados. Ever.
“Blue,yellow and black.Put it up!”
