    Attention to you all. Just so you all already know, society and the entire world is falling apart. I believe that we as a conscious species is in a transition period and within that, things must fall apart. Things will get worse, ESPECIALLY in society before it can get better. Each and everyone of you have a blessed day.

    Adultery, Rape, Incest, Murder, Robbery, Molestation, Rain, Wind, you name it, BLAME ROOSEVELT. Is there anything that you all do not blame him for? When will you start blaming YOURSELVES?

      I blame him for the poor state of Dominica today 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000%.
      You won’t blame,him for anything because you are a lazy beggar depending on Red Clinic money. That’s the type of people he loves.
      I blame him for not being able to do the job, he is entrusted to do. I blame him for having Dominica as the most backward and poorest country in the Caribbean.
      IT IS TIME THAT THE ELECTORATE KICK HIM OUT.

      • July 30, 2013

        I blame YOU 100,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000 percent for the poor state that Dominica is in today. You blame him for everything although you are a lazy beggar depending on Red Clinic money, which is the type of people he do not love. I blame YOU for not HELPING him do the job he was entrusted to do. I blame YOU for having Dominica as backward and poor because of your hatred toward him. FYI Dominica is NOT the most backward nor the poorest country in the Caribbean. Illiterate.

        THE ELECTORATE CANNOT KICK HIM OUT, the voters will talk on election day.

        FYI, I do not live in Dominica, I do not depend on Red Clinic money.

        A country is as good or bad according to it’s citizens, and does not depend on one man.
        Like President John Kennedy said many years ago
        “Ask not what your country can do for you; but ask what you can do for your country.”

    Blame PM, Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, and everyone else. Where is “Personal Responsibility?
    BLESSED IS THE NATION, WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD. We have turned our backs on the Creator, what do we expect. Human beings are naturally evil. Only calling on Our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ, can change the heart. Please pray for ourselves and or country. We need “God”, the only hope in this sinful and evil world. LOVE.

    Every day I hope there will be no more injuring and killing. No more shedding blood and taking the life of a brother. I am still hoping. As the saying, “Where there is life there is hope.”

    Honestly, the rate of crime in other Caribbean countries is also high and the level of crimes including kidnapping etc. In industrialized countries its worse. Isn’t it dumb to blame a killing resulting from a fight on the government or Prime Minister. There are Dominicans & Dumbinicans we must agree.

    well it seems that murder and walk free thing is spreading because people don’t care about the human life anymore. They know they can kill and get bail or in some cases never see inside a jail so they do it at will.
    That’s ashame for a once peaceful Dominica. It’s sad to see Dominica get worst day by day. We need a stronger police presence in ALL villages around the Island and triple the amount in Roseau.

      What could be the justifiable reason for him to STAB the man to death exactly??? I feel sorry for D/A because of people like you. If it was my family member I would say the same to them. Crime does not pay

    • July 29, 2013

      I understood you, but stop texting because texting is for the TELEPHONE just like cutlery is for the kitchen and the garden. A person’s hand is a weapon during a fight a person can be killed from a stoke by bare hands; however, we have to stop fighting, stop killing. No one knows what happened, and no one is judging, but you should agree that enough is enough. Any one or both of them could be dead, unfortunate for the one that was not expecting death is dead. Everyone has an opinion, even you.

      People are responsible for themselves. No matter how much they are spoken to, if they have an evil mind, nothing will stop them. There are some troublemakers who have no heart and conscience. At the commencement of an argument their temper flies into rage. They will not think twice to injure and murder. How can this man be happy about what he did?

    • July 29, 2013

      jail-corrupt-leaders, How is the PM or other members of Parliament responsible for the evil that men do? Can they control the heart of every man/woman where evil intentions lie? Besides not one of us is perfect, yet we are always quick to judge others; hope those who do so do not leave in glasses houses or have no skeletons in their closets. Don’t forget God is the ultimate judge of all of us and he will dispense justice based on our actions, particularly the way we treat others.

      If the person in “Custody” has not been charged, how could they give his/her name?

      • July 29, 2013

        Yes they should say who that person is. You do not name him only if he is charged. In other words, if he is not charged we will never know who he is? Only a minor’s name is withheld.

    Why aren’t we going to the crusade to hear what God is saying to each of us for our-self. or take the bible and read with understanding. We have to take our Lovely Dominica back from the hand of the enemies. Is it true that the paro lady was beaten to death i HEARD. SORRY I FORGOT HER NAME. PLEASE GOD HELP OUR LAND AND OUR PEOPLE. HOLY SPIRIT WE NEED US.

      Zang is her name i just found out.

    • July 29, 2013

      I do not think crusade and the bible can stop some people from doing the wrong things. I think most of these people do go to crusades and read the bible and still commit crimes. Sometimes these crimes are not intended to end up like this, but we never know. I agree that we should pray a little more.

    • Really?
      July 29, 2013

      Dominica is a praying land. We are Praying people. Obviously that is not a problem prayer can help. We need to stop being son “nonsensical” about what is plaguing our society. Waiting on prayer to solve matters of high unemployment, youth abandoned by uncaring parents, parents frustrated with rebellious youth, incompetency on all levels of our society. Prayer is going to do anything. WE need to do something about this. We need to gt back to the days whn we were our brothers keeper. You don’t need prayer to tell you that you should’t stick a knife in another human being.I remember growing up even if your family and another family were on “bad” terms if some grown up from eeither family saw a child doing something “bad” they could admonish you without consequence. Now parents taking the child to the family to give them their maypwee. What do we expect Dominica..
      This has almost nothng to do with govrnment and everything to do with us. Wake the hell up ppl.

    July 28, 2013

    Why some people sooo ignorant na? wait for allu to get the real story of what happen then cast judgement or give an opinion into the situation. hmmm. the man was under his usual drunken ways like he does every weekend and pulling his knife on every body. He der troubling some man and then passing the knife on one of them man belly and neck. when they warn him to ease up he never did. The man walk away and the deceased followed him. when the man try to ease him up they got in a tossle. a push lead to a shove and in the tossle the man got pricked with his own knife. the man he tackled even take the knife police station and explain what happened. the currently deceased waled away from the scene and made his rounds around town, when he feel it really toubling him, he go hospital. unfortunaltly the wound was fatal. when the other man bring the knife and give his explaination, they release him. when the man as pronounced dead they go for him like normal police would. it was an “accident”/”self-defense”. i know both and i saw the deceased by ducreay/charlo pull that same knife on somebody else earlier that night. allu dominicans wanna blame PM, allu wanna say is burglary, allu wanna say this and that when allu never know nothing. Grow up and shut up especially when allu have nothing relevant to say. and yessssss it always have somebody to give the story on DNO and am glad i am the one to do it, hopefully it stop all the ignorant ppl from casting judgement on things they know nothing about. happens. chupes.

      i believe OMG because i always seeing the guys when u see he under his influence this is how it goes. even when people trying to get away from him, he actually follows the person/s so i was not surprised when i heard his death. it was sad to hear that is how he died but i was not surprised. generally he is a cool fella but once he is under the influence of drugs oh dear and we know drugs/alcohol are all spirits. alas guys out there involved in drugs make your calling and election sure that is not the best way to live when u die u have an account to give..there is life after death. the soul lives on, is either everlating life or everlasting suffering. choose wisely.
