Green accuses Petter Saint Jean of victimising La Plaine resident

Minister St. Jean

United Workers Party (UWP) Political Leader Ron Green said he is concerned about an incident that occurred this morning in La Plaine, his former constituency.

Green said a resident of La Plaine, who is not a supporter of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP), had his home barraged by police who claimed that they were looking for guns and drugs.

“It was reported to me directly by the villager that eight fully armed police entered his home and commenced searching and they claimed that they came for drugs and guns. They told the villager that they had a warrant, he requested to see the warrant and they refused and then they left,” Green explained.

Green said this was an aftermath of an incident that took place four days ago when the Member of Parliament for La Plaine and Education Minister Petter Saint Jean attempted to turn his vehicle in the individuals’ driveway.

“He attempted to turn in the yard of the gentleman and he (St. Jean) was told that this was not a turning point. The homeowner and St Jean ended up in a verbal brawl and St Jean indicated that he would put lead in his a@#$. The matter was reported to the police and the villager requested that the police warn St Jean and this is the aftermath today,” he added.

Green said this is not the first villager that is being victimized for not supporting the DLP.

“You are supposed to be a leader of peace. You are supposed to be exemplary in your behavior. So if you are told this is not a turning point then move on…To me this is grossly out of order,” Green said.

Green said it’s a reflection of the kind of intimidation and fear that’s being spread around the country at this time.

Dominica News Online will continue to seek remarks from St Jean on the matter.

    The truth of the matter is who’s mother yard?the man sood on his porch and made his comments,that gave peter no right to send police to search the man house that early in the morning wen he had 3 kids and his wife present. I do not support that.Some of allu la plaine ppl like to sit down in NJ and run allu mouth.Instead of running allu mouth try to build la plaine,work on bringin the village together.

    Stop blaming this on ron green, its tru dat he is not the one in the problem but peter is the pal rep. he should show more example. If it was ron green that did that to a labourite allu wud have so much to say.SO TO SITTIN ON ALLU ASS N RUNNING ALLU MOUTH…Is BENETTE mother yard if sumting goes wrong is he thats there to take care of the matter… Get a life ppl.

      I agree with you. The Uwpwi people are angry. I am a labourite, Ron has entered my home and turned in my yard, Did I run him out? No because I do not hold grudges. It is high time that Ron stop trying to divide La plaine people and blame Peter. Paul should also remeber that he wasnot heavy when he needed Peter because Peter saw him as a brother, so to blame Peter does not make sense

    I was present at both events and i think that this was uncalled for and unfair.As a parliamentary representative you should try to make peace with the people in your constituency.And he is not only a parl rep he als preaches on pulpit at the penetecostal church(man of god).This is the second time that he has sent police to search an individuals home.He needs to fight for peace in laplaine and not war!!!!

    Once again, there has been a lot of talk and no action. In my humble opinion, this is a major issue that may or may not point in the direction of a “police state”. I’ve seen reference to that in materials read here and elsewhere and it’s troubling. If Dominica is indeed moving in that direction, Mr. Green and the citizenry does have valid reasons for concern.
    We may continue to bicker about the positives associated with our political party and the negatives associated with the other, but when the police is at liberty to do as they please, everyone, regardless of political affiliation, should be concerned. We all should be asking the following questions to the police chief and the attorney general:

    1. Was a search of the resident of the citizen conducted?

    2. Was a warrant served? If the answer is no, we should be asking whether that is the norm.

    3. Was there sufficient evidence/ grounds to conduct that search? What was the evidence / grounds?

    Again, regardless of your political affiliation, if your home was searched, you would want these questions answered.

    Why can’t Ron accept defeat and move on? We need the community of Laplaine to come together and we do not need division. All Ron is causing in our community is division among our people. Ron take a back seat and let Peter do his job as a minister. You had your turn. The Labor party is in power so deal with it. I don’t see where Ron is coming in all this when this issue had nothing to do with him. Ron needs to stop causing confusion among our people. Stop spreading lies.. Peter hold on strong because once God is for you who can be against you.. God bless you Peter!!!!

  12. Alas, Ron!
    January 13, 2011

    Ron continues to distort the truth using any rumour to his advantage. He continue to portray that good guy feel ‘sorry for me’ image.

    Ron should tell the public that Mr. St. Jean did not turn in the gentleman’s yard but that of his parents, who certainly would not mind.

    That this young spues hatred at Mr. St. Jean at every occasion he gets and is so skewed to ‘blue’ that he hates everything ‘red’. That he is an acolite of Ron.

    That this is a young man who refused to talk to his parents during the elections because they supported Mr. St. Jean.

    That Ron, by his untruthful action and on national radio, feeds this cycle of hate in La Plaine. He has blown this out of proportion trying to get get out of his political duldrum.

    That Ron, must by resolution, not continue to polarize La Plaine but work for unification of the community. He has mastered the ‘divide and rule’ principle to keep the community in servitude to the ‘King Ron’ image.

    Given the state of affairs presently, no one should take a threat lightly, even so a Minister of Government. Why should Mr. St. Jean not report a threat to the police? Because he is parl rep, he should laugh it off? Why should not the police respond to a threat involving shooting and guns?

    Ron should use this opportunity to renounce threats of violence and not fuel the anger of an already polarized community. He can so easily denounce mr. St. Jean but encourage hate, anger and division in the community. He tried the very MO during and after the elections.

    But again, What is important to Ron, is not for the good od the people. Who benefits from Ron’s milage is it truly Mr. Mathew or Ron Green?

    Ron must let the people go, to breathe fresh air of change, renewal and love for community. As long as he remains pushing from behind, the people will be in continued bondage.

      Ron Green always seemed to me like the most laid-back, cool-headed and competent guys on the UWP team. He seemed to reserved and submissive to be political leader but I always saw him as a good guy.

      So I have to say maybe I just never knew Ron Green’s true colours but he is really ruining his legacy in my eyes.

      A grown man past retirement age telling half-truths in the media for political mileage that’s not cool at all Mr. Green. Very disappointing.

    regardless a minister of government should never argue with any citizen in a manner that degrades his public responsibility. If youre told to not enter someones property, you do just that not enter. If he uses his public office or position to manipulate the situation then he is not fit for said office.

    Stop it we are getting no where… That politics thing is not good for us. It would seem that everyday and every night some persons out there not sleeping and planning on what is the next “sensational news item” for tommorrow and the day after tommorrow – strategic planning. So the talk shows will have something so the already misguided populace – who loves sensationalism will have their ears glued to the radios.

    I listenned to a US overseas rep speak on the Arizona shooting and I heard him say that when the “hate talks” are going on, it is affecting the “vulnerable mentally unstable persons” in our society and then they react like the guy who shot these persons.

    I am of the opinion that this is so true. We hear hate and hate every day in our society against those we are supposed to respect as our leaders and I will say one thing that when you curse someone day in and day out, what goes aroung comes around and it this person have been annointed, then the curses are going to come right back to you. Do we want to see our country ripped by what we are seeing and hearing happenning overseas? Instigate hatred by politicising everything. Come on stop that and let us love one another, We seem to thrive on slander and gossip and bring down our fellowmen. Awake my people, time to stop this nonesense. Our Father is watchind down on us.

    Let us turn from our wicked ways so a blessing will be poured over this land.

    Dominicans, Dominicans, Dominicans.

    When are we going to stop all these ignorance. Everything is about politics. If the police do their job, that is politics, if they do not, more politics. Lets all pray for peace and tranquility in our beautiful country.

    Mr. Green knows for a fact that if the police searches one resident without a warrant, the police would have breach that individual constitutional rights. Where do we seek redress for the same? In the Courts. Did Mr. Green advised the gentleman in that regard? Lets say we do not know. However, if there was cause for the police to carry out a search and they did so with the appropriate authority (warrant) Mr. Green action would certainly be inappropriate. His action would seem to put the police in a bad light and have the citizens of DA see our police as corrupt and have no respect for them. Is this an attempt to destabilize the country? Only Mr. Green would know his intention.

    Please Dominicans lets not take DA to Haiti, but seek to make it a paradise by stamping out that political hatred and build on unity for within this is prosperity.

    Hey guys get real lets alll stop pretending Ron and workers dont like Pepper and all the doing is setting trouble and traps for the man. I was at the La Plaine playing field for the Rounders awards ceremony and when Pepper and his wife arrived all the Workers walked out. Everyone hear hoe Mr Green refer to the man as The Alleged Parl Rep on the news to day. And all of us in the constituency know that when Pepper do a project they criticize and condem it and say he not giving workers job and all of us know that is not true. Every thing bad that happen in theconstituency they blame the poor man who working so hard.Stop that nonsense Pepper is not the bad person allyou making him look like. The thing is Ron cannot accept that is Pepper a poor man son from La Plaine that is his parl rep so he using the ignorant fellers to fight his war for him.

  25. Me Again
    January 12, 2011

    Dominicans we must get real. I want to suggest that before we make those unfounded statements we should all consider these questions
    Did Peter Pepper really turn in Benette yard knowing that benette hates him with a passion?
    How did Ron get involved in the case and why?
    Does Ron really know Benettee since he admitted that he was reporting hear say?
    Is this the same Peter that everybody in La Plaine wanted to teach their children?
    If so why has he changed, or is it that some people in La Plaine just don’t want him as parl rep so they find problems in him?
    Is this the same Bennette who threatened to beat up a man in Portsmouth while on the job and cables HR manager had to warn him?
    Is this the same benette who for a fact blocked a road under construction because it was being done by Peter?

    I end by asking Ron to watch his actions and words because though I did not vote for Peter I have difficulty supporting politicians who are closely associated with questionable character. Be careful Mr. Green because trust me there are many like me in the constituency who are not too sure that we will vote for you again. Serious I just dont think it is worth it.

    I believe Ron’s story. Peter is capable of anything. the power has gone to his head, cause he neve expected to reach at such a level. He behaves like a “never see, come see”. And i am speaking based on true and accurate reports. During the 2009 elections, Peter made a report to the police stating that someone “broke and open his house” upon investigation, the police discovered that it was merely a flyer that was placed under his door. thus no one was arrested. Peter was not satisfied with the outcome and then threatened the police indicating that he will get him transfered or fired. Thats how Peter operates. Peter must be mindful that “what goes up must come down”

    January 12, 2011

    I am from La Plaine and I know both Ron and Peter very well I also happen to have a very good knowledge of Benette. One question that must be asked is, Why did Ron have to get involved in the problem by referring to Peter as a criminal during the UWP press conference.Couldnt Benette handle his Problem? I wonder if Ron is aware that Benette and the fellers from Balizier are the same set of people who call peter all sorts of names? Sure as god made heaven and earth Peter is not a saint but Ron has been masterminding a war against the young minister behind the scene. Anyone who was at the recent UWP meeting at the the Stock Farm bus stop would understand why all this is happening. Like I said earlier Peter is no angel but Benette is much worse and Ron is the Devil in disguise

    I don’t want to open my mouth on this one since I have not heard both sides. However, I would like to remind Peter of his priority which is to put God first. Do not allow politics to become priority because you now God’s word better than I do and now is the time to allow your light to shine. Don’t allow poltics to serve as a stumbling block between you and people even your political oponents. Who know, maybe you might have to win them to the Lord which is far greater than politics.

    Peter drove on one of the many roads that he has done for laplaine. Bennet tried to block work on the road. where was Ron?Peter turn in Abine and Peter mathew yard not benet yard. Peter will hit back but does not swear. The uwpites are upset because what Ron did not achieve neither asked for as parl rep for 15 years, Peter is doing. Ron only brings his plate for food when food finish share, Peter will say I want even if is a gwen fig. Hence La Plaine getting something. Peter most of those who did not vote you benefitting from the bus fare and the roads and other things you are doing. Bondieu modiway un engras.

    Everyone is making all sorts of comments. To begin, Ron was wrong to get involved in this brawl between Peter and Bennet. This has been going on for a long while. Secondly, why are we hearing the story from Ron who was nowhere to be found when the incedent happened? Why not from Bennet & Peter?

    Thirdly, we all know that Bennet and Peter are two very ignorant, arrogant and selfish people. Bennet hates Peter and anybody who supports the DLP with a passion. On the other side, Peter hates Bennet and anybody who supports the UWP with a passion.

    This is something that has been going a long while and it should never have become a political thing. We all know that Peter is not the best Parl. Rep for LA, and yes there are certain things he does that need to be exposed. I know both men personally and Ron has no say in that!!!!

    According to Ron it is Petter St Jean who instigated the whole affair while Mr Bennet just stood idly by absorbing Mr St Jeans rave, I find it difficult that Mr Bennet did not for once utter any rebuttal in that confrntationn niether did he use any hash words ,Mr Greens hearsay retelling of the incident makes his champion smell like a rose.It is a definite pattern of the UWP,their hyperbole is shamelessly showing.It was alledged that Bubbles held a gun to the lady’s head, exposing a gun is a far cry from HOLDING A GUN TO THE HEAD. Now they have reverted to having their satellites refer to MR SKERRIT as “THAT FRENCHMAN”. Mr Green has held an American passport very much longer than Mr Skerrit has been alive, according to Mr Green he acquired his US citizenry at age 17 and he is way past 17yrs Mr Skerrit’s senior is he then that AMERICAN

      well my dear it look like its only UWP supports who can do wrong. labourites are saints it look like. we all know what kind of person Peter is. and he did not turn in Benntte parents yard…. not vehicle can turn there.we must give wrong where it is due.

      if i know that me and somebody does not agree at all, then i will have nothing to do with that person. we will pass each other straight on the road, not even to stop infornt the persons house much less to turn my vehicle there. Peter should have just said ok or just leave the area and that’s it. but he went and came back ready for a fight (inspite of the exchange of words between the two men) he should not have come back. that was wrong.

      i see u are sure of peter innocence and bennette is guilty. u have already been judge and jury on that one. don’t be too quick to pass judgement…. the end result may just surprise. not because u support somebody does not mean that the person is alway right. u can never love and support somebody too much that u cannot tell them that they are wrong. both bennette and mr st jean are wrong to have said what they said to each other. but bennette has every right to tell who ever that they should not turn in his yard.
      let me say to u that God is good to all of us. he never sakes his children, both bennette and mr st. jean needs to set aside their arrogance.

    WAW!!!WAW!!!!

    These responses are both surprising and troubling. According to what I am gathering, we are saying that there was an altercation between two people, one of political influence and the other, just a citizen who voted for the opposition. Shortly thereafter, the police randomly search the home of the person of no political influence for drugs and guns and find nothing. More over, the police had no warrant.

    It is troubling to find that many people on here are raving and ranting about the effectiveness of one political party verses the other, while the rights of a citizen may have been violated. How would you feel if eight fully armed policemen entered your home searching for guns and drugs with no warrant and probably no cause? What if you have kids? What if it happened at 3 in the morning? Would you be on here talking all that nonsense? Think about the citizen for a change..Think about your fellow man. What was done to him was wrong. Talk about that as opposed to the ongoing and pointless political arguments.

    WE need HELP..A lot of it..

    This incident is not the first and it wont the the last, as turning on any road in Dominica is not an easy thing.

    I find it very difficult to believe that the minister would get the police to raid someone’s home out of spite. I also find it hard to understand what Mr Green expects to gain from this.

        Given what you say is true, and if the police did conduct a search of the individual’s home without a warrant, is that ok. We all have equal rights under the law. You must understand that one of our most basic rights in the law is due process. For the police to enter ones home without a warrant to conduct a search is generally a violation of the law. Granted, there maybe a circumstance in which the danger to the public good is so overwhelming that a search without a warrant maybe within the law, however such circumstances are rare in deed.
        The law of the land is more important than the bad behavior of the citizen.

      Like you, the police action (if indeed it took place; one wonders what to believe) would be of grave concern, considering the allegations by Mr. Green that they did not read or show a warrant. That would be a gross miscarriage of justice.

      Still, if threats were made, and the police have evidence indicating that the accused does not possess a firearms license, would it not be right for the police to investigate? Regardless of who is making the complaint?

      Or more so, in order to “protect” the member for the La Plaine constituency?

  57. Relative of the Homeowner
    January 12, 2011

    People listen carefully, it apprears that some of you are believing Ron Green and his lies, but as a relative, I know better. First, Peter DID NOT turn in Bennet’s yard, but he did turn in the neighbor’s yard who happens to be Bennet’s parents. Peter had the right to do so because the parents who are currently in the VI’s are supporters of Peter. Bennet who has never liked Peter, got upset and threatened Peter not once but over and over and over again. After all enough is enough.

    Second, why didn’t Mr. Green tell you that during the re-surfacing of the road in Bennet’s area, he blocked the road with his vehicle and the police had to be called for him to remove the vehicle. As soon as they left, he drove the vehicle right back on the street.

    Third, if you didn’t vote for Mr. Green, don’t bother say a simple hello to Bennet. Mr. Green should not take every little thing and blow it out of proportion.

    Third, Mr. Green has everyone believing that Mr. St. Jean was observing the policemen when they entered Bennet’s house which is a big LIE. In fact when Bennet’s mother heard that the cops were in her area, she called Peter who was still sleeping at the time.

    Finally, Ron, I know you are still feeling crushed by Peter’s victory, but please, fall back. Please let it go and stop trying to divide the people at La Plaine. And people please remember as most of you already know, there are three sides to every story, Ron’s side, Peter’s side, and the truth. Peter is telling the truth in this case.

      The fact is that St. Jean is arrogant, belligerent and is rude and disrespectful to people who did not vote for him. Why are clouding the issue with other nonsense? Why? The main issue here is why did your good police not show a warrant as the law dictates? Why? That is the main issue? Can you answer that? Whether Bennet is arrogant or not is inconsequential. Petter needs to grow up and act like an MP if you believe he is one and if he believes he is one. Also if he preaches as man of God. Crap!!!!!

Some of all you have not got a branch pwell to sell. Go and plant something like Peter and all you will be less disgruntled.

    1. that Peter turned in the man’s yard
    2. Peter and the man had a verbal brawl.
    3. the man had cops at his house looking for drugs and guns…

    ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT BECAUSE THEY HAD A BRAWL THAT THE minister sent the police officers to the man house to look for guns and drugs….. HAHA….. WHERE IS THE LINK HERE?? that’s a very bad story. no swift communication cause I AM TOTALLY LOST!!!… come back again RON! :-P

    “Green said this is not the first villager that is being victimized for not supporting the DLP”….mayhap he should bring these people forward. And if they have been “victimized” they should file reports if the incidents are that serious that they are “victims”

    I do not see the point of insinuating that this is not the first incident of victimization. If he has known about others, why has he not dealt with it? Is it because 8 armed officers tried to perform a drug raid? Why is this instance more significant than the other incidents? Shouldn’t all the injured parties be entitled to the same amount of attention? If the matter is getting out of hand, then he should have gotten together the other victims and have a village meeting and address the issues! He should not just run to the press with this 1 incident and allude to others!

    I’m just curious as to the why take action now, if he has been aware of this kind of behaviour before, according to his own words!!!!!!!!

    In my view, any man who only seeks to assist someone else, when he can benefit from the situation is just a USER!

    Ron, you as the leader, should have addressed the issue before now, since you are admitting to knowing that this is not the first villager to be “victimized”

    Lord help us in this Country with our politics and politicking.

    Today Wednesday, by Friday we will hear calls for Peter to resign. UWP will hold a Press Conference on Friday to “condemn” this latest action of the DLP.

    This time Fontaine will lead the petition to get signatures and doh be surprised if you see Fontaine in Dominica next week in Lagoon in the UWP Meeting planned for 17 January 2011.

    You will hear people say Peter so bad he even stop Mango Trees from bearing mangoes one time just for people not to go and pick mangoes. They will not tell you it was a drought it had at the time in LA Plain!!!!

        go back and read the comments – the leader of Opp is using the term “alledgely” – or so he claims – if it’s all innocent and not another UWP attack why the need to scream 18-3, 18-3, 18-3?

        Instead of asking for an investigation into the issue- it is being posted on facebook like it is the truth, and when called on it… the leader of Opp is claiming “alledgedly” only making him more like a fool for spreading such propaganda without being able to substantiate it.

        If it’s not being maliciously done, what do you call it? If he has the full story and is claiming it on his page- who cares, but to not know the facts and try to instigate some political bickering – does not make for a good LEADER OF OPPOSITION.

        Why make the issue political if you are ignorant of the facts? What does that say about your Leade of Opposition? That he is opposing like a fool and a blind man!!!!!!!!

    Everything is political ammunition for the UWP, but what they are failing to realise is that this ammunition will cause their political assasination – acts like this one is slowly but surely sinking the party to the pits of an abyss which they’ll never recover from!

  69. RESPECT
    January 12, 2011

    Here you all go again. Please Dominicans of all walks of life. The main issue is did the Parl. Rep utter those disrespectful words to a member of his constituency? And if the Parl Rep did, isn’t that statement out of taste? A simple issue like that causes a stir?

    The owner of the driveway has a right to indicate to anyone that he does not want anybody to turn in his driveway. The Parl. Rep could simply respond by saying that he would not turn there anymore or answer in a more appropriate, friendly way. If the older folks behave like that what about the youth wanting to curse, slice, stab or shoot for the littlest of matters.

    The question of the police being unleashed on the said villager searching his home for guns, drugs whatever seem to be a deliberate action instigated by someone in retaliation of the property’s owner rightfully indicating that he doesn’t want persons to use his driveway as a turning point. In Roseau, there are NO PARKING signs placed next to business places. Do drivers go and park in those spots anytime those signs are there?

    What does the law state when police comes to search ones premises? Should a search warrant be shown and/or read to the person whose home is going to be searched? What wrong has RON committed to complain that the matter should be dealt with in a better way without the cursing or intimidation? But what is wrong with my fellow Dominicans?

    Why is the Parl Rep maybe through the media explain what took place, so people could be apprised of the matter? So instead of speculation and blames, people could decipher for themselves the truth? Silence is consent. If the Parl. Rep remains silent, then it means he must have said those curse words that the community is accusing him of uttering.

    Some of you Dominicans HATE Ron to the bone. Why? Ron cannot be at fault here. It is absolutely nonsensical and wicked to blame Ron. Blame Ron for what? Is it he who cursed? Is it he who searched the guy’s premises for gun or drugs? Doesn’t Ron have a right to express his opinion about the irresponsible behaviour of someone in authority? Were those the right words to use at the time? It is those simple things that could cause much bigger problems and enmity among our people.

    How could the Parl Rep. in question expect villagers to come and work together in such an atmosphere of aggressiveness, arrogance, intimidation or victimization? Problems, confrontations will always arise, but there are more amicable ways to deal with a problem. Let us respect each other a little more NUH, PLEASEEEEEEEEE.

Our peaceful village has was been a model of politcal co exisitence in Domica to all comers and political colours. Mix Fanatic Christianity, arrogance and power and you get a time bomb ticking away. Petter I hope the courts deal you the blow so that you can return to the church on you knees.

We will attempt to proceed with a lawsuit against these lawless men calling themselves police man and shame and ridicule the dishonorable , ‘pastor gone south’ St. Jean. My hear bleeds for my people. This has to stop but in the end a people gets a government they deserve or rather they voted.

  74. From La Plaine
    January 12, 2011

    Like many Before me, I will ask again, are you certain that you have the entire story? Particularly to DNO and Mr Green. I have heard all sides of the story as well as those of a witness, and what was reported By Mr. Green through DNO could not have been further from the truth.

    For one, Mr Saint-Jean never turned in the mans yard, it was in the yard of a man higher up, a neighbor, who coincidentally is the mans father whom he hates with a passion and as such has no say in that particular matter. As a matter of fact, the current resident of the house is the son of the owner and had no problem with Mr Saint-Jean turning in the yard.

    Secondly, I see no reason for the inclusion of a politician who for all intents and purposes should be retired considering his age into a matter that has no bearing on him or anyone directly related to him.

    Thirdly, the words that Mr Saint-Jean was quoted as saying are entirely untrue and baseless. Get the facts right, or rather what you perceive as facts need to be reviewed.

    Finally, I would like to Reiterate to DNO and Mr Green, please get your stories straight before running to the press and making a fool of yourselves, because from my point of view, that is all you are doing, and it is unbecoming of a man like you do stoop to such a level.

    Perhaps the man that we knew back then was all an illusion that has now been broken, but I would recommend that you reevaluate yourself sir and find out whether what you are doing is actually in the interest of the people of La Plaine and Dominica by extension.

    By the way DNO, have you sought comment from Mr Saint-Jean on the matter?

    Just concerned as to your manner of investigation.

    ADMIN
    Didn’t story says DNO has sought a comment? Matt Peltier even called Peter this morning and his secretary said he is not available. Mr. St. Jean is mum on the issue so far. You cannot be concerned unless you ask.

      Yow – you know what the problem is here man. Who wants police in their house searching without a warrant? This is the problem. regardless of how petty it may seem the home owner has the right to say to the MP not to turn in my yard. The home owner is entitled to his position. Remove the politics from the picture. You can’t have police turning a man house upside down without a warrant. In my opinion it is good that things like that get reported. Otherwise, no one outside of LaPlaine would know of it. Where is the voice of the voiceless?

      On another note – if you dig into Pepper history you will find an individual with a serious temper and I think LaPlaine people know that. So them actions, if true, don’t surprise me.

AYE DOMINIQUE kondi Ophelia!!… AYE DOMINIQUE!

    Pastor Petter, may God be with you. When you choose to be a leader and this is the kind of behaviour you are displaying, it is pathetic. If the man say it is not a turning point, then just leave. Pastor, did you really say you will put ‘lead in his a@@?’ I don’t believe that. A man of God would have more restraint. A leader would express better judgement. A man would walk away.

    Next point; If what was said is true and the police entered the man’s home without showing him a warrant, I would advise the gentleman to begin court proceedings against the said police officers. Even criminals have rights much less people who are accused or suspected. I have no problem with the police searching a residence upon suspicion of illegal activities but it must be done in the correct manner. By the way, does suspicion go only one way? Why isn’t there more actions on suspicions which involve political leaders?

    If you are going to enter a private residence upon reasonable suspicion, after entering the home, you must present the individual with the warrant and explain why you are executing a search. The other thing which bothers me a lot is the new trend of people ordering police officers to do their bidding. Since when can private lawyers and ministers order police officers to serve warrants and execute searches? People with personal vendettas are using the police for their own gratification. Do these police officers have a brain? Can’t they think for themselves? Do they know their rights? Do they know who they serve and who are their superiors? Do they have families? Do they have a conscience?

    I must remind these morons that whatever you do will affect us all including your parents, mother, children, father,wife and girlfriend. The prime minister has set a very poor example by not obeying the laws of the country and it is sick to see that all his idiots follow. No one is scared. The law is only on their side. As a supporter of the ruling party you can get police to do anything including escort you to court.

    I still live in hope that Dominicans will become sensitive of these issues. It has nothing to do with politics or red or blue. It has everything to do with basic human rights and freedom of expression. It has everything to do with not repeating the days of slavery or getting to a stage like Haiti. It has everything to do with protecting and preserving our rights and integrity.

    On a final note, Pastor Petter, for those who know the word and do not follow, you know the rest.

        According to the law, a warrant is not needed to search the premises of an individual; it is recommended but not a necessity. As long as it is suspected that the premises or individual contain or carry drugs, then they are fully authorized to proceed with a search without a warrant.

        Thats where you are wrong Linky… the country does not belong to UWP. You and dem have to wait till the 2015 election to see if the populace will vote the UWP in to form the next government. In the meantime and between time do what you are suppose to do so the time will fly and election will be nigh and we will see who will come triumphant. So where give us our country back coming in there noh. The country belongs to all of us and we have to abide by the decision of the majority until the majority says otherwise.

      A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction into a battle. The man has a right to tell Peter St Jean ” DON’T TURN IN HIS YARD.” Mr Green was the last Pal Rep, did anything of such manner occur in Laplaine? Their were UWP & DLP supporters, I believe the DLP are using their power to intimidate people, for they are all aware of the corruption in Govt. Mr St Jean should have the ethical standard to get out the man’s driveway and move on. The DLP is designed to make LIES sound TRUTHFUL, ARSON and ATTEMPTED MURDER RESPECTABLE. Leave Mr Ron Green alone he is a man of integrity.Peter reacted in a vulgar manner ” Led in your ass,” that was to aggravate the man, so he could use his power to feel good about his unworthy self.

    There is always two sides to a story but it’s sad that a minister of government would behave in such a manner. We are known over the world for being a nation of friendly people……what has happened to love thy neighbor?……life is too short and precious people! It’s such a shame that we’re fighting each other……look how animals are now living so peacefully. What wrong with man????

      And you accept Ron Green’s side without knowing the two other sides. Phil Collins said it best, ‘WE ALWAYS NEED TO HEAR BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY.’

      On the other hand, even though you do not support the paliamentary representative does that mean you cannot allow him to turn in your yard? That is so silly! We have a large yard and bus drivers and other people turn there daily. I wouldn’t make an issue with any driver for turning in my yard if they are not supportive of my party.

      Anyways, I will not comment further until I have heard Peter St. Jean’s side as well the alleged villager who was victimized.

      January 12, 2011

      Yow – you know what the problem is here man. Who wants police in their house searching without a warrant? This is the problem. regardless of how petty it may seem the home owner has the right to say to the MP not to turn in my yard. The home owner is entitled to his position.
      On another note – if you dig into Pepper history you will find an individual with a serious temper and I think LaPlaine people know that. So them actions, if true, don’t surprise me.

    well well hear it goes again the police
    why the police are playing pollitics
    if the police has a warrant the owner of the place has to see the warrant
    and the warrant has to specify wat they r searching for.
    well if it so you know that if they did not have a warrant
    they can always fudge one to say that they had it.
    the magistrate name has to be on that warrant
    so u see get a good lawyer and fight your case

      link maybe u need to find out both sides of the story first before u point fingers. I really dont see how ron involve himself in that situation. That doesnt have anything to do with labor and uwp. this is all too petty, apparently Ron can’t handle is defeat well he need to grow some balls take it like a man that he lost and retire his old scunt from politics. if he never took the time to realise why he didnt win maybe he need to check again thats because people are fed up with his empty promises.
