Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?

A. St. Martin. It’s a nice island and it is three hours away from New York. It’s not one of those places where you have to travel for 10 hours, or whatever.<span style="font-weight: bold"> Unlike Jamaica, there’s no crime</span>. Unlike St. Bart’s, it doesn’t cost much. It’s the kind of place where every meal is going to be about $8. In St. Bart’s, you’re constantly spending $100 at every meal, no matter what you order!

~lol~ Chris is delusional. St. Maarten has a crime rate that is in strong competition to Jamaica's.

Let's hope he doesn't go there and get robbed while enjoying his $8 dinner... I'm sure the shock would kill him...

Re: Chris Rock talks about Jamaican crime #chrisrock

i'm not too fond of chris rock...

he is just an intelligent modern-day minstrel...intelligent but still a minstrel...and that was before i realized he had some type of issue with jamaica...(it's not the first time i have seen him joke out jamaica;

on the other hand it increases the shame of jamaica;

we can't say anything when a foreigner dismisses the rock on the grounds of crime, when we ourselves also - the vast majority of us-- would not think of living back on the rock, and the perception of out of control crime is one of the main reasons;

that jamaica is synonymous with crime, violence and disorder is our shame...

yes the gov't is a piece of shytt, but it is also the shame of the people

Re: Chris Rock talks about Jamaican crime #chrisrock

Personally I think we should issue a fatwa on him... how dare he besmerich our good islands name...We know there is no crime there what so ever...Dudus was a revoluntionary after all...

In fact I think the JA goverment should pass a law that gives the right and duty of all good hearted true Jamaicans to hunt with extreme prejudice this man who destroyed the good name of Jamaica..

School children should immidiately begin a letter writing campain to Barry O'bama demanding the head of thsi force ripe comedian on a platter..

We should never refer to Jamaica as Jam-Rock or Rock again

We should immidiately ban all chris rock dvds from our homes....

Granmothers should call for his immidiate excommunication from the catholic church.

Buju should change the lyrics to boom bye bye, chris rock should die,

The Jamaican ambasador to the UN should issue a letter of protest and demand if this offender is not handed over for immidiate trial, Jamaica will invade New York...

Cheap bastard all he had to do was answer the question ,, what is your favorite get-a-way place. There was no need for his unlike Jamaica. Maybe a Jamaican wooman bunn his backside. Why didn't he say unlike brooklyn where he was born? Yes, we have crime and lots of it but the great America have a lot of crime too? Damn cheap a look $8 plate of food when he is a millionaire. Mouth lip tunnup like frill pan top of ole lady frock.
