    The police must tell nationals what caused their deaths. These days too many are dying young and suddenly.
    My condolence to their family. May their souls rest in peace. Amen!

    :?: I’m not at all surprised at the alarming sudden immature deaths on the island,especially of men. Those who know me will remember that i’ve been saying that,based on the lifestyle of people of the island, many will die prematurely,especially men. Bad governance :?: :?: :-x with an illegal rogue prime mistake at the head which has caused less physical activities due to lack of opportunities and employment causing economic decay. Therefore the men are unable to provide proper meals for themselves and family,driving them into being idle and frustrated with stress which they relieve by drugs,smoking and alcohol. Looking at alot of people around the villages and the island, they look like walking dead! It’s really sad and unfortunate that I write this here,but got to say as it is seen. Many of us who knows better and are doing better,are very sorry for the unfortunate state of the island… :?:

    dying as they wait on medical care, dying in accident, murdered during sewo, one found buried, gangs attacking during wedding, church building on fire, home of elderly couple set on fire on Christmas day while they were inside, mimisters alleged to hold people hostage and start to beat them up for dasheen, top ranking men were arrested for alleged sexual misconduct behavior with minor, government vehicle was used in an alleged incident involving severe child abuse by a former mayor, a former candidate of a major party, and present manager of a main radio station, guns went missing from police head, then two barels with guns arrived here according to tips from FBI, yet no one was arrested and the list goes on and on. Are we in Mexico? Or, are we just watching a movie? It’s getting very scary here because it seems we owing a moose and they harming us for payment

      Something strange indeed. With all this signing of papers our PM and company doing, they must be selling our souls to the devil. We need to pray for Dominica and its people. Evil things happening here.

      Maybe it’s because so many people in Dominica feeling stressed out. Not knowing how they going to make it from day to day. Stress really can kill you. We need to “let go and let God”.

      Are the police now the ministers of God? We need men and women to intercede on behalf of the citizens of the country.
