Ok, I retract the first part of my comment, but I will say again. Hace falta mucho respeto a las mujeres. Another life loss for nothing.

Guy, why don't you wait until further information is given. And BTW, it appears from the reading above that this spate was among Canadians. LOL
"Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Lisa Monette confirmed Canadian citizens have been detained by police in the Dominican in connection with the death,."

Thank you. and please know this is not the fault of the DR or of Canada the fault is with the 5 men from Montreal Quebec, Canada that killed Jordan.

We have to stop blaming Millions of innocent people in the countries that a crime takes place in, and blame only those that commit the crime."

Thanks, Momma; RIP Jordan

Whewwwwwwwwww!!!

Thank God it wasn't a Dominican national that robbed and killed this guy. That's honestly the first thing that came to mind when i read the title of this article.

I knew someone was going to try and give Dominicans a bad name for this. To bad it was a Canadian on Canadian crime killing each other on Dominican soil. Somehow someone will still try to find something negative to say about Dominicans. Come'on guys, I know your out there...LoL

My condolences to the family and friends of this young man.

Jim Harrington is going to blame the Dominican bartender for serving alcohol beverages before sunset.

VeronicaDR is going to blame the unfortunate incident on Government corruption for not allowing the military to set foot on the resort.

Gmiller is on suicide watch because the killer is not Dominican.

Gmillerlite and Jimbo Harrington are going out of their minds right now trying to find a way to blame Dominicans for this.

i thought Canadians were calm ppl, i meand supposedly they live with their door open.

A blow well below the belt for all the Canadian supporters of Jim Harrington. Now you all know why Dominicans despise the cretin.

Why is everyone dying in Dominican Republic??

Why is everyone dying in Dominican Republic??

Jim....I do resent your comments and having supported you in an objective manner from time to time, find that your comment might well divulge the true self centered and somewhat misguided person you are.

Time for you to take a look at yourself and ask...have I really lost a sense of reality? Am I no longer worthy of objective comments?

A comment like the one you have made has lowered you considerably....kind of like the North Koreans crapping on the Chinese and expecting Chinese support after the fact.

You live a lonely life man......

We did had anything to do with this death. It was their own people who did it.

one thing i have learned . is there is always more to the storie.

My condolences to the family and friends of this courageous young men who died for trying to help a woman in need.

RIP this young man. Dios t tenga en la gloria. Ningun perents quiere k esto le pase a sus hijos

All the individuals on this website who have defended and supported Jim Harrington, GMiller, and Danny00 should feel ashamed of themselves, and should probably feel ready to puke. I hope all the people who have supported these anti-Dominican cretins can learn a lesson because the truth will always come to light.

It's like I said before, these guys have an agenda to spread anti-Dominican propaganda against the Dominican Republican and its people, but if you do not believe, time will make you a believer.

too all respect, its nice country with many good people, but, it is still like US wild west of XIX century with guns bandits/outlaws in their Jepetas/SUV and gentlemen.......... at the local cemetery.
So please, remember it, on your next trip to paradise

Markc21,

You need to learn how to read because the people of Dominican Republic and the United States have nothing to do with the unfortunate tragedy. you also need to understand the killing was committed by a bunch of tourist , which took place in an exclusive resort.

Markc. Another moron on the page

JPB - Could not agree more. Condolences to the

JimHarrington... There is a nice personal message waiting for you in your in-box. I did not hold back! And I did mean the last sentence. Question for you....
300,000 sperms and you were the swiftest one??? No wonder they are hitting the bottom of the gene pool in your town.

i have been treated well on every visit to the dr. i feel safe where ever i go. im also careful and aware of my suroundings. i find that most people who have a problem in a strange area where doing something they shouldnt have been doing ( drinking drugging cerousing late night wrong place wrong time wrong choice of company thats a recepi for problems and desaster) i am resposible where i go and what i do even at home in the us and think about what im doing or about to do. it works well for me.its sad when any person loses there life for what ever reason. espesialy when another choice could have been made . and had a different outcome.

jimh is an animal

Condolences for the family of the person killed. Hope those involved in this needless killing get the punishment they deserve. Maybe those Canadians will enjoy hard time in a Dominican jail.

Danny00,

You and your friend Jim Harrington are both jello-headed-simpletons and low life pieces of shit. I hope you both enjoy the rest of your miserable and hateful existence.

that 78y old was from canada also one old lady that 4 20 years was coming to the dr and did nothing but good for the people she met.
this is the thanks the gringos get from us...

ElSuavecito,

True words have never been spoken. You made believer out of me a couple of months ago.

yumnuk3,

Your 1st comment on this article was F-ing hilarious, but unfortunately very true. If we would of never beat them to the punch and commented first, those would of probably been the exact words that came out of their mouths...LMFAO too funny. Miserable people in this world.

There are AHoles everywhere. The question does not appear on any immigration questionaire in any country. People need to stand-up to AHoles like the 19 yoa boy did. Had I been there, I would also have jumped in. "Some men can peacefully sleep at night because other men are willing to do violence on their behalf." Orson W. Dominicans/Canadians/Americans or anyone else are generally good people. In Canada, we live by these beliefs, but sometimes AHoles not nationalities do bad deeds. If guilty, they will enjoy the Dominican prison system's hospitality. I hope they become someone's girlfriend and that they never come back to MY country. I think that we can all feel sorrow for the young life lost. I would feel the same for an American or Dominican. Do not generalize expat deaths in the DR. In a city like Toronto or Chicago, you have more deads in a week than in the whole year in the DR.
As for JimHarrington: America, I love you but you are also entitled to your own AHoles.

Viva Republica Dominicana (a.k.a. Paradise). Invest in their future; Spend your money here!

danny00: Stay home if you can't read the paper objectively. Where the H do you live? There must be people around you. People come in all sorts... Don't pretend that there is no violence in your own town and stop trying to scare people off. You should watch for UFOs in your town instead of meddling with adult themes like.... Lets say... common sense.

DannyOO has got to be the biggest idiot on this site. He writes and i quote"Written by: danny00, 5 Feb 2011 12:10 if any canadian's are reading the comments please and i again say please dontjudge all dominicans and place a label on all dominicans for these stupid comments on this site.when u vist this country u need to understand most people u will come in contact with are uneducated and illiterate,this island is an absolute economic and social disaster."

Dude, your an imbecile. Your tarnishing the Dominican name single handedly by insulting the Dominican people and saying MOST are illiterate, so by most, its safe to say that you FEEL that 75% of the population is ILLITERATE(Which by definition means CANNOT read or write)? Well these figures might surprise you or help you realize how stupid you really are!!!
Population 15 and over that can read and write...total population: 87%...male:86.8%...female:87. and these are statistics from the 2002 CENSUS so I'm sue it over 90% 10yrs lat

Most excellent and intelligent response Tu_Papa!

We should have a button on this site to vote morons out. What do you think?

Jimharrington and this danny00 freak would be the first to go.

For a country that welcomes over 4 million tourist in one year, 5 tourist deaths in that same year is a pretty good ratio as I am sure many would agree. So NO actually is a safe place to travel Mr. DannyDoubleIdiot who wrote "its not a safe place now before yes, not now way too many crazy drug filled guys running around. they are also killing dominicans and trying to rob them.
i think one one the problems is the dominicans the united states marshall's ship back each month from new york city. its for sure one of the major problems. i have met and spoken with some of them any thing goes they tell me.they will do any thing for the dollars lots of them are hooked on drugs and need their fix they dont care if its domicians or gringos the fix is what is important for them -the drugs."

Your F-ing Idiot... I hope your not Dominican, cause that would be a huge blow and very disgraceful to all Dominicans on DominicanToday I'm sure!!!

DannyDoubleOidiot,

[with the Korean store owner from Menace to Society voice} I feel sorry for you mother!!!

@Tu_Papa,

Glad you enjoyed the humor on the first post. however, I do not think Veronica has bad intentions, unlike the other two hateful morons.

@Concatchero,
We have a rating system, which should be activated within the next couple of weeks. I'm not exactly sure, but I think you will be able to vote on every post within a month.

Please remember when posting regarding Jordan that he is loved by his family and friends and was a wonderful young man right to the end. He died protecting a young woman he did'nt even know. All he knew was she needed help and he was there. It was one man harassing a young woman then spit in her face, thats when Jordan steped in. He exchanged words with the other guy, then that guy and his friends kicked the boy in the head repeatedly until he was dead. Jordan was a very respectful person never in trouble, but aways protecting others. I can't imagine how his parents will ever make it through this, so I ask that you please keep in mind he was just a young person trying to help a stranger, something we don't see enough of in this world.

Momma,

First of all,we offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of brave young man who died valiantly trying to help a total stranger . secondly, please excuse the the postings of Danny00 and Jim Harrington who are both anti-Dominican Internet Trolls

DannyZERO......Are you also going to state how many high school graduates we have and how many kids come out of college with honors? Are you also going to give examples of the good and honest people who work in the police force and don't behave in the way you state? Are you going to indicate that waaaaaaaaay too many foreigners come here and bring their bad habits? Many of these foreigners are loathed by regular Dominicans because of this. Russians are now arriving in great numbers, scary. Indians are coming, OMG super cheapos. The Chinese are coming, hell they have already been here. There are almost more chinese than Haitians!!!! SEND THEM BACK!

Plus remember, DR is right now a globally recognised tourist destination. Their are powers that be that are jealous and envious of this and would like nothing better than to take away what has been built so far. WATCH OUT!!!

@momma,

When reading through todays post, i saw numerous people express condolences to the family of Jordan Morrison. I have not read one post where he was disrespected or a post that his family would be offended by. He was a brave young man who was killed by a few of his own countrymen. Thats the point we were trying to get across. We just don't want Canadians thinking it is unsafe to travel to the Dominican Republic cause it is not. Sure the DR has rough neighborhoods where there are many crimes committed annually, but so does every country including Canada. So please feel free to travel to all parts of the DR, it is safe, especially the resorts.

Momma,

We are sorry and our sympathies go out to the family and friends in this tragic accident. It is an unfortunate tragedy that someone so young and courageous had to die in such a senseless fashion. My heartfelt condolences to the Morrison family.

By the way, please excuse the lack of respect by Jim Harrington and Danny00.

Thank you.
and please know this is not the fault of the Dominican Rep. or of Canada the fault is with the 5 men from Montreal Quebec, Canada that killed Jordan.
We have to stop blaming Millions of innocent people in the countries that a crime takes place in, and blame only those that commit the crime.

Thankz you momma we wll always remember this brav young man

How can any take danny the clostet haitian seriously , the man can even spell when he post his stupid comments . danny arrived in florida in a raft boat with 200 of his haitian brothers one on top of the other , smelling there own farts.

Gotta admit, the headline could be a misleading and from first sight it makes it look like a Dominican may have done it in an act of crime.

This fight was probably between English and French Canadians.

Haitian00 (danny) is just another bitter Haitian,obsessed with Dominicans and the DR.

Why?

He's jealous,plain and simple.

But,who can blame him?

He will die a bitter man,never seeing Haiti at the level of the DR.

My deepest respect to the family and friends..a very tragic story..my husband would have done the same thing to protect a woman.

Still don't know details but I am a Canadian who just came back from a month in Boca Chica and Punta Cana . I stay there every year and avoid resorts because of tourists who act stupid around unlimited alcohol. Yes, I am assuming that alcohol was involved.

I hope justice is served for the young man that lost his life. Most people would probably have just ignored it as being 'not my problem', but this Man was trying to help. The coward who 1 disrespected the Lady and his cowardly friends who jumped him should all be punished.

Waste of a young man's life.


Hope you guys are wrong that Danny00 is Haitian. Anyone can be behind their computers stirring the pot and getting people riled up.

To all stories there are 3 versions: yours, mine and the truth.

Intellectual honesty prevents one from being judge and jury in a trial that will never take place.

Was alcohol to blame? Most likely.

Bravado, machismo, of course.

"Ethnic" differences between French and English Canadians?

Not since 1837.

danny "manitoste" doble idiot!
ingrateful fool as most of your friends, that bites the hand that feeds him...
he would like to see the Dominican Republic fail and become like haiti by his campaing of defamation... but the moron doesnt think, what will happen to haiti then? you will be even worse than you are now! idiot!! and the first ones to be screwed are the haitians working in the tourist areas( thousands of your country men).
and i hope you are not dominican because if you are,i dare you to give your address, ill go there and kick your ass myself biatch!!
and by the way, by statistics, DR is way more safer than haiti, and we get millions of visitors a year, with a few unfortunate deaths( by your friends the deported that you wrote you spoke to them!!! idiot!!!).
ban the Trolls!!!

Unfort. these situations happen. They have nothing to do with DR. It could have been in Vancouver, Toronto, NY, etc.... There was a situation. One person came in and reacted against it. Other idiots went too far. A very young life lost. Some will have to face the consequences.

Jim Harrington,
Having an IQ smaller than your shoe size is no excuse for being cruel and hateful.

I just joined this site just to post a comment; the gang-up beating death of this young man (who could have easily been my own son) occurred because sadly amongst our youth, it has become not only accepted, but the norm, that there is no such thing as a fair one-on-one any more. I ought to know I am witness to this every day in my profession in the Canadian Justice System. 4-1 altercations happen weekly in Canadian bars and there has not been any deterrent in Canada that has put a stop to this!! Perhaps time spent serving a sentence for murder in a Dominican prison, wherein the offenders are responsible for purchasing many, if not all, the lovely items offenders are provided with free of charge in Canadian jails, will send a least a message that gang violence will not be tolerated in the DR, even when it involves the typical peace-loving Canadians eh!

I dont think any Canadians are laying blame on the DR. This place is by far the best place in the world to vacation. I myself love the DR and promote it ever chance I get. I hope the DR keeps these 4 canadians that killed this young man in your prison our jails are just like being in a all inclusive resort.

See ya in 30 years guys! Why people go to other countries to act like goons, I do not understand... I hope you get what you deserve if found guilty!

Jim Harrington is a clown..He is truly ignorant and arrogant...

OK...time to open the closet and lay it on the line...no BS


I am a Canadian living in the Dominican Republic for 6 years. I pay taxes, I support the community in a number of ways...education being my focal point. I am married to a Dominican and have a child who's life is both Dominican and Canadian

Who are you...where do you live and how do you support the community?

If you are not a part of this community.....well...why bother with an opinion?

Lets start with you .....JIM.

ive been at that resort 4 times i have always felt safe it takes stupid people from canada to give dominican republic a bad name i will continue going there

kevron, I dont' think it will give DR a bad reputation. People know this happens in bars around the world. He was not assaulted over drugs or money.

This does happen in "bars around teh world", but still, it has an unfortunate reflection on this bar, and this resort, and the D.R. even if no Dominicans were involved. The point is, the resort must take all precautions to provide a safe environment for their guests. Just like the D.R. is responsibile for providing safe conditions throughout the country for tourists and countrymen. Alcohol and drugs are protential time-bombs in any location. Where was the resort's security staff? If you are going to fuel a group of people with alcohol, then understand the potential ramifications. People get into discussions that lead to voicing of opinions; all opinions don't agree with one another; thus, a dangerous formula for a heated argument. Throw in ethniticity, religions, politics, economic standards; all fueled by alcohol (which always makes us smarter), and that is now a situation out of control. The resort's security was defecient when this boiled over into a brawl

Security can not be at every place 24/7. If you want the great prices in DR, then operating costs can not go up. DR travel is hot right now and this will not hurt tourism. DR is too great!

The hotel must be suit. This type of nonsense should not happen inside a hotel facility.

to xwill7

What is more important -great prices or safety? I don't know about you , but I will always pay a little bit more for security. What price do you put on someone's life, or your own for that matter?? Wake up and smell the java. At a hotel with this type of reputation, Security should be present, or at lease close enough to call when there is potential for disasters such as this. Again, fueling people with alcohol should be a pretty good indicator wouldn't you think? You mean to tell me there was no security close enough to get to his place before this brawl got out of hand and a life was lost? Then I don' want to visit this hotel under these conditions.
to pkaaide1 You are darn right the hotel will be liable.

BigBossHoss,

So go to Puerto Rico, you sound like a big fat guy in which all-inclusive hotels will make zero profit on. We don't need you to visit unless your willing to PAY what you WEIGH per night. 400 a night. I'm sure hoteliers would agree with that price. Watch out when taking a dip in the beach if your gonna stay in Samana, one of the whales might try and mate with you...LMFAO!!!
