    Bwa and Ibo two senior Jacks.Rayburn Blackmore the minister of National security has given the police so much powers that they are now violating the citizens rights.Right now a police can search anywhere and anytime without a warrant.The police can and does arrest citizens put them in the cells for 72 hours without contact with the outside world,although that person has not been charged.Rayburn and the government has given the police the authority to search appartments on different names with one search warrant.The police have a right,today to detain and arrest citizens without reading them their rights .You and your blue supporters have accused the police over and over again of violating citizens rights.When it suits you,you say the government is doing nothing about crimes in Dominica,and then you turn around and say the government gave the police the green light to victimize and harrass innocent the citizen.I am sure you remember the UWP supporters who were arrested without charge.

    The police needs to aggressively crack down on antisocial behavior that leads to these type of crimes. Severe punishment for shooters.

    All these young guys are taking bullets for the papas who we all know are tied to the cabal. It’s pitiful that our economy is so bad that these guys see no other way to make a decent living but through illegal means.

    But I guess the bigger question is; why is north, an area that has given us so many intellectuals and businessmen combined with agriculture continue to vote for failure? Come on folks u all can do better. Help us help you and vote out the incompetent DLP that have put your young men in such precarious situations. Souplay, get some sense and vote them out for the sake of future generations.

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 9 Thumb down 8

    Homicides in Dominica continue unabated. There are too many illegal firearms in the hands of criminals. National insecurity reigns supreme. Too many of our young men have been cut down in the prime of their life.

    The incumbent administration is in government for too long. They are most definitely bankrupt of ideas or just does not have the will to arrest this continual violent problem. We need a fresh government, with fresh ideas and fresh measures and strategies to restore love, peace and tranquility to this once non-violent kingdom.

    Well-loved. Like or Dislike: Thumb up 12 Thumb down 6
