        yes, yes, yes and yes!!!

        Until these little fools/knuckleheads including you, realize and start respecting lives then everything should be shut down and overhauled with cleansing of the Streets riding of all these young Thugs who don’t appear to have any idea of the meaning of substantial living, respect for others, and Discipline in conducting themselves in a manner like their respectable elders did,,,

    Could anyone interpret the “hand sign” this young man is displaying in this photo? There is a force of death sweeping away “unsaved” young people and no one dare to instruct them of this lifestyle which praises the devil. This young generation is almost completely lost to devil worship. Speak to your children, people! Take note of all of these hand gestures that has become a part of them. Ask them to explain these signs to you. The death of young people everywhere has become an epidemic which no one wants to address.

      Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “When he returns will He find faith on earth?
      Where does this commence? Do they have good examples in the home?
      They need prayers. When you pray, never cease including them in your prayers. Get others to do likewise. God will do the rest.

    • May 23, 2017

      All these stupid hand signs those country bookies and thugs display are demonic ones. they watch way too much American TV and copy what the rich thugs do. They have no money, no education, no life, but live a life of crime and end up dead. You call demons and they will come get you. Lucifer vivan kamem.

    damnn man this is crazy, didnt know this guy but over the past years its like friends and young people my age a dropping like flies..and people ask why I dont come home more often

    • May 23, 2017

      What does coming home more often have to do with anything? You mean if you stay away they won’t kill you IF they have to? Dead is worldwide pal. Violence is everywhere, although Dominica and its five people should calm down on the violence. Reevaluate who allu let into your country; since Haitians entered Dominica, we have been sucking salt! Thumbs dong, I doh care. Is true.

    I pray God’s comforting hand on the victims and the flood of repentance on the ones committing the crimes. I believe that many people are receiving the gospel and getting saved and Satan knows it. I am one of them. I also believe that more demons are being released since their needs become greater by our lifestyles.
    They are attracted to what they see,hear and smell and this is one of the reasons for controlling our speech and action.
    Our church, (the body of Christ and not a particular building) is asleep! It is time that we stop delivering messages of prosperity and basic surface information and speak God’s will. That none should perish and all should come to repentance!
    The time is here and it is now! Tell the people, who God is, what he stands for, why we should repent, whom we are fighting, how we should endure and remain Christians, Why read the bible, multiply proper prayer time, practice God’s will and what the results will be. applying the blood!
    People the time is…

    Very good job comrads. Let’s keep up the pressure until the job is accomplished. I am calling on all officers to join the fight on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. In like manner I call on the nurses, the teachers, the farmers, bus drivers and all concerned citizens to shut down this country for the whole of next week, so Skerrit could understand that he will not make us a pampa country

      So you are blaming the PM, not yourself and some others? People take their own path. They will not listen to the voice and words of reason. For some, even though you talk from now until doomsday, they will not listen. In their ignorance, they follow bad company and take the easy way out. They could hate you and even kill you for wanting to change them. Better to pray fervently for them that God might convert them.

    Could these two killings two nights apart have a connection? The one on the river bank in Roseau and this on at a bar in Pointe Michelle and both victims are from the Pointe Michelle area, coincidence do you think.
    The police need to work on those quickly to bring those killers to justice, even though they the police are not getting any raises on their salaries.
    The citizens depend on them for their safety in every aspect of th law in this country. We expect that anybody with information pertaining to these crimes should inform the police. And that the police move speedily to solve them. God Bless Dominica,and us all.

    And the body count just keeps piling up in Roosevelt’s Dominica. The land of disorder, no justice and no peace is getting worse by the day. The Director of Public Prosecution’s Office can take solace in losing yet another murder trial, before it gets to court. What a shame. Welcome to the next level of crime and corruption.

    Unless the CARICOM states re visit the hang man crimes won’t stop so easily because the world close their eyes to Gods word which says capital punishment is a must Gen CH 9 says whoso sheddeth mans blood by man shall their blood be shed, Jesus told Peter put down your sword for he that leave by the sword shall perish by the sword the holy Bible fully supports getting read of murderers but religious hyprocrits say be linent there should be no murcy for criminals so BRING BACK THE ROPE AND THE HANG MAN. Save our country that is the will of God. Murders are children of Satan they have no mercy on their victims why should the law be merciful to them even their lawyers who defend them should be hanged to

    Two murders in three days, that’s what Skerrit needs to use his majority in power to do. He needs to go to the Parliament to amend laws to address murder and the the high rate of crimes taking place in Dominica these days

    • May 21, 2017

      who people to address to.no matter how much law this country pass, it is not goin to work out because the people don’t listen to those in power over them. Listening and acting to something is two different. what makes up a nation is boldness without being too bold, respect, etc. the only thing needed for Dominica is the police aligned force and they too need to buckle up and take crime and justice like their life depends on it. if not, nothin will change. Isn’t the national pledge and anthem giving the answer to all these problems?? isn’t it us who aren’t the real patriots?? this is the only thing to make up the society that the ones before us wanted and now we’re just ruining it for them makin our consequences larger and more severe. only god can help us do it. Where is the godly Dominica that I once knew as a child??

    Too many criminals have easy access to guns. Law enforcement would have to carry out the necessary intelligence to ascertain the source of entry of all these illegal weapons into the country. Crime is everybody’s business so all citizens and residents should be vigilant and cooperate with the police. There’s a need for a proactive, competent, trustworthy, unbiased Police Force. There should be ongoing training for the police in investigative techniques, evidence collection, forensics, and community policing. The Top Cop should be a person with impeccable integrity, articulate enough to sell the police vision and mission and execute his duties in a fair minded manner. The entire Police Force should be depoliticized otherwise a large portion of the populace would become alienated. There is much work to be done to minimize these senseless murders.
