    DNO posts the name of the minor but not his injury

    “Cornel Dominique, 17, of Goodwill, is nursing injuries at the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) following an incident on Tuesday 23rd, August 2016, in which he sustained an injury to the right side of his abdomen.”

    Boy look bad reporting. You mean to tell me that’s how an acting police inspector reporting? Are we in Venezuela where news cannot be freely reported?

    The acting inspector gives us the name of the victim, his age, the injured he suffered, where he from and the hospital where he is at but not a thing about what kind of injury he suffered. Was he shot on his abdomen? Was he stabbed? Was he pushed to the ground? Were they fighting? Were they fighting? All he said is, a 64 year old was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.

    If that’s what Blackmoore is upset about and threatens to make major change and is not ruling out foreigner, then I don’t blame him because certainly this report sounds like that of a 5 year old that trying to tell mom what he heard.

      You scrutinize what is stated and also criticize how it is stated. Is that all you are capable of?
      Accept it as it is. This is the best which could have been stated at this time. Wish the young man well.
