Dr. Sam Christian on Friday reported to the police that his vehicle, which was parked outside his medical office on Bath Road, was vandalized.
“I parked my vehicle and all was well,” he said on Q95’s the Hot Seat. “When I returned today, I saw my glass door window down and broken and tires flat. I also met broken glass bottles under my tires.”
He said that in the vehicle were a bag with an extra phone and his personal second phone.
He said, however, no valuables were taken.
Christian noted that the incident is one of many in a “battle of attrition trying to wear me down.”
“I have been in Dominica since 2013, I have been prevented from doing my normal work which is that of a surgeon in the operating room, and I have endured through that. I have been subjected to unnecessary lawsuits and so forth, but I am still there,” he remarked.
According to Christian, since 2017 began, he has been “subjected to a lot of threats” that has placed his property and life in danger.
He claimed he has experienced acts such a broken bottles under his vehicle, nails under his tires, and has described these happenings as a “typical routine.”
The incident took place just one week after the tires of a vehicle belonging to Thomas Letang, General Secretary of the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU), were punctured. The DPSU was holding a solidarity rally the day the incident took place.
Meantime, United Workers Party (UWP) Senator Dr. Thompson Fontaine has disclosed that over the past week his vehicle’s tires have been punched.
“I have changed four tires over the past days and have seen nails in them,” Fontaine said.
I think ADMIN gets waaaay too involved in people’s business on here. This is an OPEN forum where we are free to post WHATEVER we want. Whether you disagree or not, you have no business deleting or refusing people’s posts. Unless a post is threatening, insulting, belittling etc, you all should LET PEOPLE BE, with allu favoritism/political nonsense.
If someone is going to puncture someone’s tire, using a nail is the most difficult thing to do. If there were nails in the tires, I would suggest that you check the roads on which you traverse. I would also like to ask if Fontaine in particular, made a report about the four tires with nails to the police? Most likely not, because a nail in a tire happens to everyone whoever owns a vehicle and occurs even more frequently if you are traveling in areas with construction work. Dr. Christiain I can understand with the broken windows and all. Although he mentioned that nothing was taken, this may have been an attempted burglary which was interrupted by some movement in the area. I will also say that no one in Dominica should ever be attacked or have damage to their property because of their political views/affiliations. I do hope that the perpetrator/s will be apprehended and charged accordingly.
Such negativity being spoken about our country by it’s people. Just a way of showing the other nations and countries out there how we treat each other in the good land.
so you left ur personal phone in ur car?? REALLY rd Sma?? Im no dignitary, neither an Ambassador and i never leave my phone in any vehicle and you, a man who calls himself of high caliber leaving his personal phone in his vehicle, smh?? I believe that you’re seeking attention and also want Dominicans to point fingers at the labourites .. God is not a police and ur own oil will fry u!! rd Sma my foot!!
Speak to the young Juice guy in front of Sagicor. His tyres were slashed just recently.
These incidents (acts of violence) should be vehemently condemned by the highest office and by all Doninicans, look like terror attacks to me.
Shameless you had your chances and you missed out. Give the people a chance to do their job for what they are paid for. what is in Boeotia to visit. come with ideas and suggestions and stop misleading the people.Blackie,Sammy what go so.News online expect relevant comments and not your personal grievs.wake up and move on.
I condemn this malicious act against all citizens; be they Labour,UWP, Freedom Party or Independent! No one should suffer any attacks on themselves or property! The fight is not against persons and their properties,but for good and accountable governance! Whoever is committing such acts of vandalism in the name of political party will be a loser at the end,cause when the people decides to remove a government, you too will pay as you’ll be exposed! Those holding the office of government needs to make a public statement and condemn these acts,even if their positions are threatened politically by the victims of the vandalism! The police needs to intervene and take swift actions against the perpetrators of vandalism! People,let’s deal with the issues affecting the island and not get personal with those we disagree with! For those who thinks that no one should challenge their political party and leaders when they go wrong, you are on the losing side of life!!!
My question is Carbon the Commissioner….He should not rest until an arrest has bee made.This is maliciousness to the highest degree..Why should law abiding citizens endure so much,and the real criminals are not pursued bt the police?
Dr., you must have pissed off a patient. Be careful ow you diagnose and prescribe meds. All that cramming med school go make you all end up dead. You can buy another car.
This is obviously the work of a miscreant. Could be an anarchist working alone, or a criminal as it usually is. The police will receive a report from Dr Christian and a constable will be assigned to investigate the matter. Note that there is no Mr Carbon, and no Mr Skerrit. This is vandalism and unless there is evidence of a pattern, one can assume that it is a case of malicious damage to property. Leave politics out of it.
All political parties have supporters who are ignorant and who think that these acts of sabotage and mischief are in the interest of their party. The political leaders -all of them – need to come out and totally reject and condemn these acts of destruction so that their followers know what they will not accept and condone.
It is not when their followers are hauled into the cells and awaiting bail to inform them that they are not doing these acts of violence for the party. Educate them all the time and warn them in advance that they will not receive any support when caught doing these crimes against others.
The vandalism against these men appear to be politically motivated. Guys, apply for a licensed firearm. There are desperate people out there who do not want to see their sewo come to an end.
well it would seem that Dominica has a Mongoose gang in operation!
What goes around comes around.
99 Days for the thief, just one day for the Law. The Chief of police must echo those words again. A crying Shame. Desperate people doing desperate things, if allow to continue it will just get to the next Level. In the mean time, be pro active, install camera`s and do your own detective work, conduct patrols, install Alarms. Really a new low!! Freedom is really not free in our beloved country any more.Smh.
I hope Skerrit will condemn such evil actions.
The government, police and the churches need to condemn this sort of behavior but then again one has to wonder if they do care. Every government in the free world has opposition. The Labour government must learn to take criticism. This is not a communist country or is it?
So maybe it me but I smell a rat. These acts could have come from either side and I have a strong feeling they came from blue supporters to make it appear as if persons on the opposition side are being targeted. It’s just like it was said that it was Skerrit people who started the fire at the airport to make it appear as if it was blue supporters. I put nothing past anybody these days. The place obviously too quiet and persons seem to be calming down and that is unacceptable so things need to be done to maintain the violence. Furthermore, if people can pay others to target certain buildings to vandalize this is nothing.
This is not an act of labor party supporters so Sam check closer to home for your culprit.
Put a camera outside your office and home. Or inside your vehicle
Hope Skero but you a knew vehicle. This I believe is a political affair going on. They are trying all type of strategies. Hope the CID investigate.
Dr. Christian,
The police will do nothing about this crime. Send me one of those nails or anything the perpetrator touched. I will be making a stop in Haiti next week.
After nine days you will see someone crawling like a dog on all fours infront of your office begging you for mercy so that they call walk straight again!! This is nonsense now!!
Duncan Stowe, Dr. Ferrira, the proprietor of Divas abd Valentines and Corbette, and Maurene Blackmore, Barclays bank and Digicel must take a similar lime to Haiti. Then we will know who the thugs are who attempted to burn Roseau.
The proprietor of Divas has no name? Why you afraid to name him or her since you naming everbody else? What is the secret about who owns Divas? What are you trying to hide? Who you protecting? You see where this could lead?
I hope you have some answers because is you first that start calling names so just invix me!!
Haiti for real… who do you think you fooling? You will be the first one crawling on all fours. What you wish for others will be fall you first.
Seems like you have kako outside man?
YOu all were mowmow when Roseau was set on fire, who knows maybe the thungs did not get wht was promised.
‘ I will be making a stop in Haiti next week.” LOL
I’m not saying it is right …..But wasn’t Feb 7 nonsense too ?so why didn’t go Haiti for Feb 7th 2017 also?
Sam sorry that you have trapped yourself in Dominica, I also note that you said you are prevented from doing your normal work which is that of a surgeon in the operations room. Sam, by the way, why can’t you go back to America and do what you love doing? Oops. I just reminded myself that the reason why you are so trapped in Dominica its because you can no longer practice medicine in the United States. There is a saying, who soever dig their pit shall fall in it. Sometimes in life we create our own downfall.
LOOK IT! LOOK IT! Blakie TURN TO Shamless.good headline. M y only wish is PM READING THIS AND Having A GOOD Laugh. they took a few decent workers supporters on a protest march and assured them that no harm will come to them. After they got arrested and lose their days work no one has come forward to claim the damages and pay them for the lose of their days work. revenge is sweet, what comes around goes around. HA -HA ONLY NOW they recognized the Police.Shamless go to Lawyers
Keep the pressure up Dr. Sam, you must be doing something right. Together we will restore our DEMOCRACY .
did double L and his bunch of carbals condemn the acts of violence after the protest
Yes idiot.
https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/general/roseau-violence-not-about-uwp-meeting-linton-says/
Yes idiot Mr Linton did.h
He did not!!! All he did he tried to blame it on others. At a meeting in Salisbury after the incident in Roseau Linton called for coolwosh like rain, he even put it in song. Does that sound like someone whose condemnation of violence should be taken seriously?
Did R S condemn the burning of the property of the 2 Elderly Citizen on Christmas morning 2010 and if so why the Investigation can’t continue up to this day?
Yes they did issua a condemnation the following day..Dig the thick wax from your ears,and listen to Q95,the Big Station,or simply read DNO everyday.NOW!!!!!Has Skerrit apologised to the nation for taking 30minutes talking gibberish about a COUP he said a stalled truck with speakers attempted on his govrnment?Your doggone SOO TE WER,condemn that for me please.He blamed UWPand DFP for that Stalled truck coup..I heard that the CARICOM investigators were laughing at him…This guy is so inept,incompetent,shameless and dunce..SKERRIT MUST GO!Skerrit Must Go!!Skerrit Must Go Now!!!
EXACTLY DID LENNOX, CHRISTIAN AND THOMPSON CONDEMN THE ACTS OF VIOLENCE IN THE STREETS AND BUSINESS. WICKED PEOPLE. ATTENTION SEEKING THEM MAN WANT. THEY DOING THERE THING THEMSELVES AND WANT TO MAKE IT LOOK OTHER WISE. WHAT ALL YOU SO AND YOU SHALL REAP. TAKE WHAT ALL YOU GET. THAT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO THE PEOPLE THEY BROKE INTO THERE BUSINESS ON DDAY.
Leave skerrit alone or there will be bloodshed!
SKERRIT MUST GO!! He will be removed if he doesn’t resign. We’re taking our country back. So say goodbye.
#skerritmustgonow
Tell them that again, RED BLOODSHED
Really!! How ignorant is that. You think violence is going to solve anything right now? I urge both sides to calm down and be respectful to each other.
Your father, man? Fool!!!
YOUR *** NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THE DOMINICA POLICE FORCE AND AN INVESTIGATION LUNCHED. IT SEEMS YOU HAVE A LOT OF INFO STORED. I AM GOING TO CONTACT CRIME STOPPERS AND DNO TO HAVE YOUR REAL IDENTITY REVEALED TO THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES. YOU WILL SAY WHAT YOU KNOW
Remember U all have al ways causing BLOOD SHED in D/ca such as Christmas morning 2010 at St. Aromant, at Both Estate on the 28th of December 2016, U all made rational statements at Wesley just prior to the last general election such as if u all allow Lennox Linton to become the prime minister there will be BLOOD SHED on the people’s shoulders
A plea to U and UR. SCONDREL them stop causing disturbances and blood shed in our peaceful country
Waw. Whose blood are you going to shed? You all on the island are all one big family.
So now you inciting violence? Bloodshed? I hope yours will not the first to be shed.
Blood shed thats what all uou want hahaha well we are peace makers all you wont get that but all you pm will stick dominica rain sun wind hurricane he cannot run again hahahaa.
Is Mr. Carbon investigating these report of vandalism or it’s alright because it is perceived that these individuals can think?
How come the thugs are not being hauled in to the police station? Where are the priorities Mr. Arbor and Minister Blackmore?
mr, what mr, who
Whosoever thinks that Da people are so stupid to fall for these crap they lie. We wont be drawn into this ignorance and who is behind this motive -driven violence mongering for political traction will be discovered . I smell a Conspiracy rat and those who are behind this are smartly aware of what they’re after. This PROPAGANDA WAR to shift PUBLIC OPINION is Dangerous and shall not work. Its ANYTHING for POWER.
It is shameful that we have to stoop so low to mislead our people . These STRATEGIC DESPERATE CRIMINAL MOVES may very well be part of a NEW WAVE OF IMPOSED CRIMINALITY to arrest order and peace on island
Hope you made such a post when Skerrit said that UWP had plan a coup and most recently when police officers were to arrested on the suspicion of subversion.
Ask skeritt who did it? his intelligence always know
I am not surprised that this is the new low Dominica has reached.The thug in chief,Skerritt,has taken us there with his disregard of the constitution and protocols and norms of good open government of the people, for the people, by the people. The results are a failed government and a failed country. To add insult to injury, he gives us Carbon as a police chief.I don’t expect any arrests in this new mode of thuggery which is want to deter and intimidate the victims and all those who oppose “elSupremo” Skerritt. The next level will be the tonton makoot.Don’t despair Dr and others this will not stand as it has failed in other countries where is was used as a strategy eggs Grenada and Haiti
Jonathan St. Jean your life has been that of a thug. You appeared to be a gentleman but underneath all that calmness you were a thug. And BTW where are you??? You have never set foot in this country since you left yeeaaaarrrsss ago. What has been your contribution?? So get of PM Skerrit’s back. Is not he that eat your ‘kabwit bon diay’ TONEH
I suppose you do not expect any arrest in the Roseau Riots too eh! J boy! You are a massive disappointment.
And all negative talk about Dominica is coming from one group of people in the world is the UWP and their carbal. Everyone WHO MATTERS says all good about skirrit and the govt and Dominica. Quote one other country group or place saying bad things about Dominica.
Jonathan St Jean, I am truly surprised at your comments on DNO. As your former teacher, I expected you to be more objective. Are you so biased that you have to ascribe everything to Roosevelt Skerrit? Honestly man you can do much better!
The good and kind Dr Sam who treats the poor without fear or favor was arrested 18 months after he warned the nation of the regime and its tyrannical hold over our parliament. Then after 18 months they falsely accused of incitement to burn parliament. Almost 8 years ago he walked around the ministry and warned of the tyranny of corruption. Like the warners who came before him the Pharisees and PM Pontius Pilate and his followers laughed at him. The arrest of Dr. Sam galvanized a movement for democracy. The UWP, DFP, PSU and.
PWA are all seeking justice. Dominicans do not be afraid. The world is watching this corrupt tyranny. They are tormented by their crimes. Their end draweth nigh. Stand strong for justice Dominicans!
Whoever (red, Blue, Green or Yellow) is involved in that nonsense must stop it. It does not reflect good on us as a people, a nations state. Whatever your motivation, this senseless acts of vandalism just will not fit in Dominica. We have enough issues to deal with. So stop it.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour . Do not be deterred, but keep the pressure on!
The question that must be asked is, are these things hired? It’s interesting to note that the same set that that were arrested are the same ones getting their vehicles vandalized or Tyre punctured.
The PM needs to make a strong statement and send a powerful message to these thugs that the full force of Law Enforcement will be used against them if they do not desist from these despicable acts. If nothing is done to stamp out these senseless acts of vandalism, the perpetrators might be emboldened to take life next. Political tribalism has pervaded every sphere of the society causing Party Fanatics to think that they can violate the laws of the land with impunity. Even law abiding citizens cannot escape the wrath of these misguided political morons. Good leaders unite their people not divide. Division destroys a country, unity uplifts a country. These malicious acts against citizens who are perceived to be anti-government must be discontinued immediately.
Stop deceiving your self Is there any truth in SKERRIT? WHY DIDEN’T THE CABAL condemn the fire of Christmas morning 2010 at St. Aromant instead u all are preventing the investigation from , however
When ever U all DEMIT office the investigation will continue and those who are guilty will be brought to JUSTICE
Hold strong Dr. Sam. Your sacrifice to nation will never be forgotten. I have a funny feeling that someone in high society directed this act of vandalism against you. Now let us see if Commissioner Carbon will ask for help from IMPACTS to investigate this one. What a darn shame on the persons who did this! God is wide awake
Assertive like the rod of Moses!
I know that we are in a political silly season, but it is wrong to assume that this act of vandalism has anything to do with politics. It could just be a personal matter. With all his talk Dr. Christian poses no threat to any political party on the island so why attack him?
Anything is possible. But like the saying goes, once may be an accident, twice may be a coincidence, but three times is a conspiracy.
DUH!!! He was just arrested about a month ago!! His tyres were punched for the same reason he was arrested! It is really silly season in Dominica!
Dominica is in a terrible state…Hope that the police will do a good job!!!
%, Why didn’t you make that statement with regards to the incident that took place on February 7th in Roseau with what took place after the UWP MEETING?
The world ahs been in a terrible state for eons! Dominica is just beginning to catch up. nothing new here.
It good for all you, what all you trying to go against labour for… COME OUT THERE!
Keep drinking your red clinic koolaid
With idiots like you around of course Dominica Finish
Dominica Finish? That’s what the DLP wants to do? kill Dominica? Well guess what? The Labour party is whats going to be finished after this FAILED GOVERNMENT IS ROOTED OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL. We’re taking our country back to the DEMOCRACY it’s meant to be.
