    This boys stay on Washington block and take people chain. Dominicans are tired with them. It is nothing about drugs. They have problem with everyone. So it is pay back time for them. The police will not do anything to find out who was on the Jeep and I am happy. It’s time for those boys to get a job and stop taking people stuff big day light in town

    Evidence in Police Evidence locker disappear. Guns from the police armory disappear. The keys to open up the Registry disappear. Unstable man in the South assaults two and kill one, police cannot respond, because they do not have a working vehicle. Store in Roseau recently robbed and no arrest. Little candy shop in Goodwill robbed at gun point and no arrest. Police sitting in Roseau station all day not patrolling. What do you expect?

    All police should be armed at all times. Mr. Carbon give all the cops their firearm licences.

    I continue to question how did these guns and no doubt illegal ones get into Dominica and in the hands of irresponsible people who, at the slightest disagreement utilize it indiscriminately on their fellow people, not caring about their life and well-being.
    One day whoever is responsible for bringing them into D/ca, allowing them in D/ca, if brought by air and sea (the customs) and those who shoot their fellow people will have to answer to God for it. Even some, as they live, will not grow old gracefully and healthily.
    Keep in mind, too, you live by the gun, you will die by the gun. Choose the path you wish to follow.

      One thing you should avoid is to bring the DLP into this. The PM, his ministers and members are not involved in such. Cease condemning yourself by also being judgmental.

      Well, a leopard cannot change its spots, can it. A pig in an airconditoned sty I still a pig. Roosevelt’s less than subtle attempts at gerrymandering without changing constituency boundaries will come and bite him in the bollocks when his cornupia runs dry.

    Counrty is getting out of hand,and have never hear the leader condemn any acts and the police is limited on resoures to fight crime.

      What do you expect when everyday all they hearing on Q is the preaching of ignorance and violence. You think those things don’t have no side effects.

      When guns disappear from a central police station what do you expect.The public has no idea who took these guns and where are they at this very moment. Who knows what they are used for? It is a shame that the gov’t allowed the public to know about the disappearance but cannot give further details about them. This is where corruption comes in.We cannot trust the police so the police cannot fight crimes efficiently enough; neither is the law giving families good satisfaction when a family member is killed, rape or bitten.
      The gov’t need applying stiffer laws in order to suit the crimes that are committed by these lawless criminals. Their action will play an important role in tourism because all over the world people can read what is taking place in the country. Some of our youths have no morals nor any respect for human lives. This has to stop before we become like Jamaica. Enough is enough.I hope these people will be caught and punished severely and wish the victims the best

      Too much talk and no action. The leader is not the only Dominican, not the only one residing in Dominica. You are part of it and you have to do your part. One of it is, genuine, fervent worship and prayer for your country, for nationals, yourself and family. Being a critic (alone) is of no good. Pray that crimes and of especially this sort will be eradicated.

    The question remains; why would i want to kill another individual? When something happens we should ask why! Because of a drug deal? Anger? but still WHY? What causes anger? WHY?
    Before you read the second line, your defense is up WHY? A phone call to party and we are ready on 10 mins whereas to church an hour passes and we are still not ready. WHY?
    Do we have all the questions to life? Do we?
    Take some time to watch this video. It is a real world future event that will make you think!
    Make time for your future.
