Phil said it great.I live in Baton Rouge Louisiana.In the past 3 years I have lost 3 of my good friends.2 to serial killers(1 still at large) and another to robbery while trying to protect his family.Crime has been around for 100's of years,and unfortunately will be around forever.Roatan is not exempt from the sickos that perpetrate these heinous acts.But Roatan has a lot less than most places in the world today.Those of you that have to focus on the negatives of a place need to build an impermeable room and live out your days in fear instead of being thankful that when you open your eyes in the morning, it to the most beautiful view on the planet.I have been going to Roatan since the early 80's and I have never ,ever had the slightest problem..
