(Tara Joseph)
well,well. ure sad but entirely acceptable. c’est lavie. pple just keep on praying. it’s so heartbreaking how so many vieille case youth are being murdered, when this village is always the one producing most of the brain in the country. Francillia and Dean by the same person, then Curt, now Julien ….. there are others. Lord, help our beautiful village.
Now, we won’t give up. This whole country needs deliverance. Lord, cleanse this place. Skerrit, Can’t u see? we need the death sentence. Y’all blind??
Hold strong Julien sr. Julien had a bit of a temper but would express it only if he was tired of warning. He ran away for trouble. I hope that the family of his ( mother’s side) will change their ways now that he’s gone. I think those pple are so rotten, not even that will change them. Motherr, sisters, Aunts, Cousins, all, tons of villagers admired the boy cuz he was so much different from you all, a bunch of selfless, trouble-makers.”when fathers plant peas and reap peppers, that happens” R.I.P jonior
my boy coucous they rip u of boy u were like my brother .the last time i see u is for election .u tell me u want to come up gwada i should bring u if i had know the would killed u. i will not see u again to walk down in the villiage boy or to see u coming for us to play BINGO boy boy WHY U I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT IN MY VILLIAGE CALIBISHE.
i will neva foget u my twins
junior cuz the one who lookin lik him. ME n bush was so close i was there for him n he was there for me now he not livin on earth but in the heaven up 2day i cannot believe dat n i always goin 2 ask me why i wasnt there wif him dat night why i didnt feel dat bad thing now im in earth but my mind gone wif him i stiil feel him on me n i know dat gonna be lik dat all my lif now my lif is sorrow but me tryin 2 liv through him n i tryin 2 do the best caus when dat gonna be my turn i would lik 2 be wif him lik we was acoustom broda twins rest in peace i will neva forget u whateva happen i goin 2 try 2 be there 4 the family ur mom n ur 2 sista n everyone who lov junior bush julien joseph coucous n i gonna try 2 stay stand up 2 mak people see u trough me cause we r lookin lik twins is 4 dat i gonna show dem my face cause i know is ur face they goin 2 see get bless by the almighty jah
If Jr was such a good young man y did he go and fight with the weapon.
he should have behaved his self.maybe if he wasn’t dead he would be in jail right now because he had bad intentions. everybody saying this and that but he wasn’t a saint. You live by the gun you die by the gun and remember,when u think u bad there is someone ou there who is worse than you.
and to tiyani behanzin,,,
i am happy u are here. dont be discoraged, keep doing the good work u do.
whenever i hear of a crime now,, i am happy u are here
cause before,, too many crimes passed by with easy bails, little to no time
god bless u
and to the people of dominica. please turn to god. he is the answer to all this life’s problems. tiyani cant solve it, skerrit cant, and the prison cant.
please turn to god
i live in calibishie and crime here is the same as everywhere else. less than most places. so dont judge the village please.
my first impression when i heard this ws OMG!!!! all i could see is his face. so quiet and respectful. usually they are the ones who go first right? they are maybe needed in heavn. so dont judge him. smoking isnt worse than adultry, fornication, stealing, ect. its only a way of life that hurts only the individual and no one else. he was a good boy
my second impression was, OMG!!!! the primeministers village!! it really looks bad when u look at it that way. but no matter what village he was from, its still sad
my heart goes out to his family. i feel your pain. god’s strenth upon u. peace, and hope. he is not suffering where he is now. he is in complete peace and rest. every thing happens for a reason. take time out to find out what is god’s purpose for this. god is love
and to the family of the murderers,,, u feel ur pain too. u didnt kill this boy. u r suffering too knowing ur sons are in this mess. i feel ur pain too. but justice has to be done.
to the calibishie boys who were at the scene and didnt help the stranger,,, u will be a stranger too one day
Rest in peace my brother, my heart goes out 2 the rest of the family. God, please look over us .
We can talk, the Vieille boy in Jan,2009…who were his friends/? What was is main job? I t is sad when any one dies, worse when it is man made. Now is the time to look in the mirrow in all communities. Reach out to our drop outs, those who need help by as they lend thier thoughts to negative behaviour! All of them have relatives. Pray for our nation, lift families to God and as we comment look around us and lend ahand in our own community. Stop staying on the fence! Put our positve thoughts into community reach out programes.Change ourselves and lets help impact positively on others.
May he rest in peace and the living repent!!!!!!
I totally agree wit (Concerned), bring back CAPITAL PUNISHMENT or if they tink they bad give dem d guns and send dem all to IRAQ where they can fight d real war. I live in London and trust me im even scared of d youth today…..
But anyway accept my condolences to yet another bereaved family…. it may b a million miles away, but my roots lie in Dominica…..
God Bless
REST iN PEACE BUSH.
Alas this is so sad, my heart goes out to both families. although it is not an easy thing to digest when one loses a family member in this way, it must be very hard on the other family”side too, especially a concerned and loving mother. do you think its easy for any of the mothers?
No man should take another’s life-it’s a NO NO.
But when you have an arguement with someone and instead of maybe talking it out or fighting with your hands(although fighting is not right) u bring a deadly weapon into the mix; u have intentions- which is v ery bad intentions. The situation could be the other way around if the victim wasn’t dead.
People need to hear both sides of the story and stop casting judgements.
You play with fire you will get burn…..just saying….
To Jah
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubts
yes i guess only itassi people should comment on junior cause all his time was spent there till he moved to calibishie……..the young man was smoking yet he was not a trouble maker, he was quiet and would be with his friends and as already told he would not pass and dont greet u……………i wish i could be in the funeral but i cant…..am far
My sincere condolences goes out to the families of the victim; no one would like to see thier child ‘go’ in this way. All because of a sensless arguement and a fight which was uncalled for.This is a lesson for all Dominicans those at home and abroad because it could happen to anyone;anywhere.
Also, to the families of the offenders my prayers to you all beacuse I was in your place a few years ago and know what it is and all the negativity that comes out of the situation.The community thinks that it is a parent’s fault when thier child commits a crime but this child is an adult and know right from wrong and the parent should not be blamed for thier child’s foolish and senseless acts of viloence.
junior was a quiet and disciplined young man. he would not pass u on the road without he greeted u. he would not look any one problem. all u people who speak of “bad man” DID NOT know junior. yes he smoked now and then but no one even knew the youth was there he was so reserved in his own little world. hope the boys who did this rot in jail or worse. i want him to hunt their little behinds. take courage magdaline,julien, tara and talia. God does not sleep justice will prevail. RIP JUNIOR.
Knowing that my niece Talia has lost her only brother, makes me wonder what is really happening to the young youth of my country. To Taila, Madgelyn, Tara and the rest of the family please accepted my sincere sympathy. Taila remember that God careth for you, and he will carry you in your time of grieve. Your brother Junior is in the care of God. Junior might be gone but he won’t be forgotten. He will remain in the Hearts of those who love and care for him. Rest In Peace Junior. Madelyn be strong and take courage. God still cares.
THE GOSPEL:
I strongly believe that you are the DEVIL’S DISCIPLE, you really should keep your sanctimonious comments to your self and and the rest of your Satanic Cult followers.
Satan seems to be winning the battle (so he thinks). People are dying and heading to a Christless eternity. People have no time for the bible…if only we would get back to the basics.
Choose Christ today
rip junoir ill miss u
i have no no no sympathy for anyone who get stabbed, harshae or shot, unless it was mistaken identity. People always looking for trouble, and when trouble find them they will get dealt with. Suckers WILL get served. In the words of capleton “As bad as you think you are, we’re living in a small world”. Chill allu self.
Y where they fighting for? Someone pls respond! Jah help us
RIP JR U R GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. U WILL BE MISSED BY MANY. TARA AND FAMILY ACCEPT MY SYMPATHY AND MAY GOD GIVE U ALL THE COURAGE TO GET THROUGH THIS. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH U ALL. I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HE IS REALLY GONE……….RIP AND I KNOW U R IN A BETTER PLACE

peace to all i hope other young men learn dat no man buys baddness from a shelf so jus cool and b humble and think twice bfore u react
boy my cousin really die eh at such a young age again god please protect my other cousins.. i do no if calibishi man have something against vieille case people. anyway rip junior and take it easy tara and the rest of the family,
I hope that this case will not just vanish in the dust like the others gone before. how many of our young men must we loose before drastic measures can be taken to execute those who murder people. I say bring back capital punishent .people should not be killing people and just sit in jail for ten or fifteen years. this is absurd. In less than one year three young men lives have been cut short by criminals and no one is held accountable for murdering them .what is DOMINICA coming to? Is it now the land of the lawless where people choose to do whatever they want with no regard for the law? what are our leaders doing to curb this problem ?do you think that teacihng these criminals skills and trades in prison will make them better people?DOMINICANS LETS STAND UP TO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND DEMAND THAT THEY BEGIN EXECUTING THESE MURDERERS BE IT BY HANGNG, LETHAL INJECTION OR WHATEVER MEANS POSIBLE.Our young men are dying at the mercy of these murderers. lets send a message to people who think they can kill and get away with it.CHANGE THE LAW AND BRING BACK CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BEFORE ALL OUR YOUNG MEN VANISH BEFORE OUR EYES MR. PRIME MINISTER.
This island is running down the drain like a dirty water flowing down on the river bes,Where there are many routin fishes and crabs,what mean to say from your prime minister and ministers down to some of the people who suppose to set examples and creat jobs to help these young people are part of the evil and corrupeted life on this island .You’ll will never learn and thats it because you went back and drink the same dirty water from the river.
thank you lester! helpful much!
R.I.P Junior…
I still cannot believe Junior is dead. I think we should bring back the cataline, becuz de people dat kill him will go jail yes…..but jail life too damn sweet. dey going jail and eating better food dan me dat on de outside wii. If not de cataline, den introduce death by lethal injection, electric chair or even hanging. let dem murderers suffer for dere crime. Junior was my boy, i’m really gonna miss him. My heart goes out to de family. Accept my sympathy……………………….RIP Junior, u may be gone but u will never be forgotten!
JULIEN JOSEPH JR. BORN TO MAGDALENE LEBLANC AND JULIEN JOSEPH SR.
To THE GOSPEL…. I love people but I don’t like when you so-called religious gurus come online trying to condemn others with your quotes from the bible. Don’t forget satan can quote the entire bible. Right now you have casted judgement on the poor dead guy and the person you responded to. Who are you and I to cast judgement on anyone? Please leave that to the Almighty God.
Eternal rest grant unto this young man and may his soul rest in peace. He is in a better place with the Almight father
well is so allu want to play bad man one by one all bad man meeting there end play bad man still and a badder man will switch u off
To DOMINICAN, help me understand your point. I am gone past 40 and my mother is gone past 60 ever since we can rememeber societies always consist of different levels or status where some will always have more than others. In fact this is a biblical fact.
Dominica is no exception and if you are elsewhere the same applies. Chances are you might be the one who is better off from where you stand, who knows??….Does that mean we all should fight and kill?
Fellow Dominicans,
It is indeed a sad time for all families involved and our community as well, due this very unfortunate incident. My family are very very peaceful people, but as we know in life we simple cannot control our destiny, and certainly cannot always control the act of other, We can only pray that God will protect us from all evil, there are many in this world. For thoes who do not know, we have been down this road before, our daughter/family member, one of the alleged offender’s aunt was killed in a very similar way by the hands of a jelous concubine in the village of Mahaut, who by the way served less than a year in jail for her crime, so we know what it is like to suffer such a loss. To the family of the victim we would like to say that we are deeply sorry, and pray that God will give usall the strength as we go through this difficult time.
@Dominican…. I know the guys who committed the crime very well and it is no fault of anybody why they ended up in that situation. you see as young people we make choices and some of us think who are our parents to tell us what to do as adults. opportunities are given to everyone to better themselves and some waste it away….thats the situation. so many ppl who had nothing growing up struggled through and made something of themselves. if they can do it why cant we and all of them? our young men are just lazy and want to site and smoke….its a fact!

VIEILLE CASE YOUTHS STAY AWAY FROM CALIBISHI ON NARCH 6TH 2011
rest in peace Junior the good die young may jah guide your soul
Dean Honore????????? Dean Baptiste. Corrections plz
This is a wake up call for all our young people not only in Vieille Case but all over Dominca. Our young people need guidance in making right decisions and choices. The question is what are we going to do?. how can we help? who will lead the way? Many of our youngsters need physical, mental, spiritual and emotional guidance. how can we put an end to all of this violence? too many of our young people are going astray. This is heart breaking news and i pray that god will grant his family the strength needed to carry on. it seems like yesterday i saw coocoos little boy walking down the road going to church with his mum. This is not what i expected. But then again God is the master of the plan he knows what he is doing and i am convinced that there is a lesson for all to learn from this.
This is the result when wealth and money is circlating among few people; thus leaving very little opportunies to young people, which results in a life of despair, and reckless actions. My heart goes out to all families involved, victim as well as victor because there lives are for ever changed. In light of that, what we can do as a nation to give young people hope.
God’s grace is suffient to comfort the family of this young man.
One person commented that he is in a better place now… that God took him away to be with him in heaven. THAT IS THE DEVIL’S LIE. Jesus Christ died so that man could have a taste of everlasting life. Fact is that if you believe not in Jesus Christ (I,m not taking about head knowledge but faith) You ARE CONDEMNED ALREADY. John 3:18 Read your bibles carefully. So get the facts straight.
In my personal opinion, I don’t see how someone can rest in peace when they die without God. I don’t know the spiritual status of the dead guy but you know your spiritual status. You never know when your turn will come (and it will come) The bible says taht is appointed to man once to die and after that the judgement.
Are you ready?
My condolences to the Family. Sorry to hear about the incident. God is in control. Gone but will never be forgotten.
RIP…………………Junior.
when is this vicious cycle going to end? Prime Minister im calling upon you and parliament to reinstate CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. .. these criminals are going to be sent to jail and enjoy the hard work of tax payers.Why do you think we have so many young men committing crimes? heres the answer: PRISON IS LIKE LIVING IN A PALACE,they are taught trades and skills only to retun to society to do more damage. let them know what hard time is and see how fast the crime rate will drop.Start executing them for taking a life.To the entire family ,his dad ,mom ,three sisters and two brothers my prayers are With you. RIP …
When are Dominica parents going to take control of their kids? i`m telling u i`m 42 yrs old with a 21 yr old son and i can say thank GOD my son have not put water in my eyes .He is in this country goin to college and working and let me tell u i`m a single mother doing it by myself from since he was 2 yrs of age.And let me tell u all i did to raise a good son is making him know who is de boss. and instilling the same values my parents gave me Rite now he is an adult and if he not home by 11 pm he better answer that cell phone or he knows to call me if he know

R.I.P. Junior… we go way back from we were little kids….you are gone but will not be forgotten…To my cousins, Tara, Talia, parents of junior and the rest of the family may God continue to be with you.
I can’t believe my noy dead… Bush is my real soldier and the hardest boi i know. RIP my boi
NIP IT IN THE BUD! I applaud your words…@SOUTH MASSIVE…You should really ZIP it you poo-ing from the wrong end of your body.
My sincere condolences to the family of the young man “Junior”…I want you to know,I feel your pain and I know what you are experiencing, and what you are going to continue to live with for the rest of your life…You see,I too,have lost a Son to a different kind of violence,Vehicular Homicide,though the young man was never charged for obvious reasons,I hope that wont be the case in your Son’s Murder…I will say prayer for the emotional healing of your family, please take comfort in knowing that your Son is in a better place as are my two departed children.
To the law makers of Dominica,Alcohol and Knives does not mix…Alcohol and Guns,does not mix…and last but not least,Alcohol and DRIVING,DOES NOT MIXXX. These are the most DANGEROUS combination in any Country not just our beloved Dominica,Please address your comments appropriately…We are the World,We are the Children,we must do our part,and we must pray for all…We are in this World together….
REST IN PEACE Junior.
It’s time to reinstate capital punishment. Hang them!!!
I am so sad to hear for the death of this young man. I can’t imagine lossing my only son. I pray that the young people in my country wake up and know that crime don’t pay. To Magdelyn his mom, Tara and Talia his sisters I pray that God will comfort you in your time of sorrow. Remember Junior will always be alive in the hearts of his family and friends. God takes home his angels when their work on this earth is done. Junior’s work was done and God needed him more in heaven than on earth. Rest in Peace Junior.
Growing up together with Junior was one of the best times I had in Vieille Case. I was shock to hear someone took his life for no reason. To his mom (Magdelyn), and sisters, I pray that God will comfort you in your time of sorrow. Junior rest in Peace.May the angels of the Lord continue to carry you in paradise.
Whats his real name?
@ SOUTH MASSIVE
Y don’t y’all just keep ur mouth shut if y’all cannot focus on the issue at hand? I am from Grand Bay and ppl like u embarassing ppl like me.
We should be asking ourself how we may have failed our young ppl, causing them to exhibit such behaviours. What could we have done that we did not do for these young ppl causing them to be so angry? Our young ppl need prayers, families need to pray, standards need to be set at home from the time our children are toddlers. We need to teach our children to deal with peer pressure. These incidents stem from a combination of factors.
To the victim’s family, likewise the family of the persons who may have committed the act i say God is with u during this difficult time.
OMGGGGGGGGG i just found out who he is..have me screaming down d place..dat my padna self wi..:'(…..whoever kill him trust me u better just turn urself over to the police bcuz……………………….
R.I.P Junior..dead but not forgotten..my prays go with the fam..wish i was there so i could attend ur funeral!!..much love bro!!
Not to long it was Dean Honore , i have not heard nothing from that case now is KOOKOOS, i hope something is done about all this violence.
RIP i peace KOOKOOs, to his family and friends may god be with you.
someone plz tell me junior’s name..i wana know who he is..i cant remember calling any young man from vieille case junior…y they gotta be taking or youths lives like this!! :'(
What the***is wrong with our youth nowadays. The year doh even well start yet. Why allu want to kill each other. You all need to love each other and help each other rise above this nonsense. Everybody want to be the baddest. Why don’t they realise that love is a sign of strength and not weakness.
damn…. I don’t even know what to say right now… me and Junior go back years. Junior was a real Soldier and one of the best Ballers in DA. R.I.P fada, you in a better place now.
My thoughts and prayers are with Junior’s family, Vieille Case and all of Dominica. So tragic.
I just hope that the criminals who took Juniors life will be brought to swift justice.young men in Dominica are committing vicious crimes because the legal system is too lenient with them. what is fifteen years for taking a life?maybe the legal system should begin taking a life for a life. i believe that ciminals should be punished to the full extent of the law. another thing is that when criminals are treated like princes in prison, what does the country expect ? young men are going in and out of prison because prison to them is like a palace.hard core criminals should be treated like animals because thats how they look at others when they kill them.dominicas legal system should go back to the death sentence.The only way to curb this vicious cycle of killing in Dominica is to implement the death sentence.Government should seriously look into that. R.I.P JUNIOR
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT .MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE ALTHOUGH I DONT KNOW YOU.
ONE ? WHY WHEN THINGS HAPPEN IN GRAND BAY ITS ALL OVEER THE NEWS AND EVEYWHERE. THEY WOULD HAVE TAKINH POINT THIS MORNING ON THE RADIO BUT WHEN THIGS HAPPEN SOMEWHERE ELESE IT`S LIKE WELL YA.
SORRY TO THE BOYS FAMILY , YOU MAY SAY NOW IS NOW THE TIME FOR YHIS REMARKS, BUT I HAVE TO BRING IT OUT .THEY HAVE GRAND-BAY LIKE IT`S A LITLE HELL.
REST IN PEACE BOY.
FAMILY HOLD STRONG, THE JILLER HAS TO FACE GOD, I GUESS HE WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN TO THE FATHER WHY.
This morning i was having a conversation saying that the year has started on a good note since there hasn’t been one murder. I guess i spoke to fast. It’s sad when such things happen yet still the justice system wants to be soft on crime.
that’s the result when you are in contraband. what the hell you expected. sad situation because I’m from that rustic, but I’m definitely not shocked.
R.I.P Junior…… God be with your family in this time of sorrow….
may your soul be carried by angels up to heaven.
hmmm what sad news this morning. I pray this does not escalate during the carnival season. He belongs to a family like all of us, and has friends i am sure, so i am sending out sympathy to the family and friends. It’s just sad and depressing.
SAD SAD SAD Y, WHY DOMINICA Y
R.I.p Junior. Dead at only 19. My the family be comforted in this time of sorrow.
ahhhhhh
it is in black people blood to re- act violently to petty stuff and i don’t know why.
GOD PLEASE HELP US
It is very sad, every day you have to hear about bad vibes in our place i know things happen everywhere but my GOD why Dominica? Why can’t we just love our sisters and brothers in Christ and leave a happy and joyous life man? Why is it that we have to keep hurting each other like this? It is really ,really sad boy. Dominicans if we do not take charge of our lives now and asked ourselves a question we will never go forward in life and our brothers and sisters are just going die out of ignorance one by one just like the hands on the clock moves tick tuck tick tuck.
D jail will never miss people!
oh my god that young man from back home and i understood that he is dead…………how sad he is so young his mom only son………….Junior R.I.P
Wat is wrong with Dominicans nowadays..just stabbing its all about violence!!omg…may God be with the family and everyone…
I was leaving work when they brought the young man in. So sad, so young. People we need to pray for our young people. Too much of anger. Too much of action without thinking of the consequences. The devil is rejoicing!
Ho my god wat is happenin to us y do we enjoy hurtin other dis way
