There's definitely a prejudice against black people in (Ambergris Caye) Belize. It's not as noticeable as some other places in the world. I used to think it wasn't so but came to learn different. frown

No clue if this incident has anything to do with what happened to Mr. Blount. Somehow I doubt it though. Circumstances set him up. Whether or not he was master of his own fate is for someone other than me to decide.


A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?

I was always under the impression that you only went to Big Daddy's (Daddy Rock's) if (a) you wanted to buy drugs (b) wanted to sell them or (c) wanted to get into a knife fight. Maybe things have gotten better, I dunno.

Tourists do not necessarily know every thing locals do and blaming the tourist is not in order. the question is did the police steal his phone and how do you establish that as they always give their word and they are the police so you are supposed to believe them even though there is a long history of theft by police in Belize. The professional standards branch is not aggressive as they should be and there is not even polygraph.

I love how whenever something like this comes up everyone that wouldn't have an effing clue what went down knows exactly what would have gone down....

The tourist has made certain claims and they need to be looked at not just dismissed out of hand because the police have a different story than the version published by the tourist. Someone is lying and needs to be charged for it be it tourist or police.

I think it was a flimsy reason to arrest someone because they were seen going in and out of the restroom. Yes it may look suspicious BUT he was taken outside and arrested. He was searched and released later having nothing illegal. Why wasn't he searched prior to being arrested ? You don't arrest people and then look for illegal drugs.

So I'm guessing he was arrested for excessive urination?
