    I honestly feel ashamed of my people after reading the negative comments on this post. How can you be so cruel to your own fellow citizen? It is so embarrassing and sounds rather childish and ignorant.
    I wonder whether the negative and hurtful comments givers know Tino Harriett personally. Shame on all of you. You make it look like the man is covered in filth, wearing nothing but a torn up shirt and a smile showing off only a few stained and rotten teeth. Seems that it would have suited you best if he was dressed in a jacket with a gun in his hand, or a crown on his head. Do you know that there are many people who appear to be most well dressed on the outside but are nasty as hell inwardly or in behavior? There are others who take pride in their personal appearances in public but their homes are kept as the worst pigstyles? I have known people who look very well groomed and tidy from head to toe but when it comes to accepting anything edible prepared by them I’d rather starve.
    Wake up ye fools! face reality! look at that photo again. I see nothing unkempt here but a guy who is happy, free and is enjoying the beauty of creation. To me, he seem to be saying ”thank you Jah for life’. His smile brings out his happiness, his hair like Sampson, his strength and his vest allows his healthy body to feel the cool breeze from his Creators new day. Is there anything wrong with that? Stop making your own selves look like a bunch of idiots who have nothing better to do but try to bring down our own people with hurtful comments.While you are making fun of minor physical appearances in Tino who I know to be among the coolest guys in D/ca, breaking down his character because he did not pose for a photo as the world’s super male model, there lies in a certain cemetery, the remains of a young guy who was most handsome, had the smoothest hair texture, was blessed with a great body and pearly white teeth and another fighting for his life on a hospital bed, who would have wished to to live a day in the life of Tino, just as he is. Also be careful who you criticize just because they don’t look like Prince Charles….you never know……their bank account may be larger than yours.

    I don’t see anything untidy about the man. Nothing is wrong with his smile either. Amazing, those who take a negative “shot” at him may have everything – smell good, nice clothes/shoes, car, house etc. but I dare you smile like him. It takes too much stress for you to maintain what you have -when was the last time you had a good laugh? but the man is ostensibly FREE! Let him be! that’s his CHOICE.

    Good going DNO.

    He needs to check out the guinese book of world record for the length of his locks. Nice pic, the Tourism association needs that pic for their magazines, we Dominicans dont even know real beauty when we see it, we are so brainwashed with the fake idea of beauty. That pic may sell for big money one day, DNO dont lose it.

    Thirty years after the death of Bob Marley I wonder what his locks would have looked like had he been alive. What would the critics say then? They pretend to love Bob but they hate this man. Would they have driven Jesus out of the synagogue because of his appearance? Ye hypocrites!`Forgive them father, for they know not what the say and do.

    Big up rastaman! Love then dread locks!! Allan ‘Tino’ Hariette, my boyhood partner, Taz would have liked those ‘dreads’. Taz had the biggest bongos in Sout’ in his time. Passed in New Jersey in 2010. May he RIP.

    this cannot be the same people that critisize the tidy officials in society,no i must be dreaming,wow what double standard and hypocritical people we have here in dominican society,you judge the book by the cover,by how the natural god made man was created and call him untidy,is the natural surrounding around him in the pic untidy to?this is how god made man and his surroundings,go battle you all demons in society,the nice tidy ones,the ones who you all feel are corrupted,like you all say everyday,dumb and ignorant people,this is why dominica which is so much like the garden of eden,and yet still you all cannot inherit it.

    SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GET A LIFE ,IN OTHER WORDS FIND SOMETHING TO DO INSTEAD OF USING THE INTERNET USELESSLY AS DAFT BASTARDS.

    THIS YOUNG MAN LOOKS VERY HAPPY. EACH ONE OF US ADOPT A STYLE IN LIFE.

    THIS YOUNG MAN WANTED TO GROW HIS LOCKS BECAUSE HE LIKES IT. GROWING LOCKS HAS ONE DISADVANTAGE ; YOU CAN’T USE A COMB TO COMB IT THROUGH.
    MOST ADVANTAGEOUS HAIR ALSO…YOU CAN USE HIBISCUS LEAVES , FOMAGER LEAVES OR OCHRO LEAVES TO WASH IT.YOU DO NOT NEED MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF LOCKS . YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY FORM OF ALLERGY DUE TO USING SHAMPOOS OR HAIR CONDITIONS.LOCKS NEVER BURNS YOUR SCALP AS PERMS WILL SURELY DO AND CAUSE HAIR LOSS.
    HIS TEETH,,,EVERY ONE OF US WILL LOOSE OUR TEETH ONE DAY OR THE OTHER…AS TIME GOES BY.HE FEELS COMFORTABLE WITHOUT FRONT TEETH.
    HAIR UNDER HIS ARM PITS WE ALL HAVE HAIRS UNDER OUR ARM PITS WHEN WE BECOME ADULTS.SOME OF US SHAVE IT ;CUTTING OURSELVES AND GETTING ITCHES ALSO.HE FEELS COMFORTABLE BY ABSTAINING FROM OTHER PEOPLES PRACTICES…
    ONLY PEOPLE WHO SMELLS BAD ARE UNTIDY .THIS MAN LEAVES A NATURAL LIFE .
    ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING THESE NASTY THINGS ARE MORE UNTIDY THAN HE IS BECAUSE YOUR HEARTS ARE ALREADY FILTHY SO FILTHY THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN TIME OF TO CALL A MAN WHO HAS EVERY THING THAT GOD GAVE HIM UNTIDY….SEARCH YOUR HEARTS….

    There is nothing untidy about this pic. Yes, he may be missing a few teeth, but so what? Many of allu leave above allu means and have a set of debt that allu have to do wrong things to service. He may have 5 locks but he look happy and free. Also, it is never good to judge because he may have more land than some of the negative people on here. He is very proud to be who he is, unlike many who suffer with identity crisis and look to others to know where they belong.

    For those of you calling the man untidy, when was the last time you smile like that. Give it a rest already. If he is untidy, then find him and give him a make over.

    Well, no matter what the opinion may be, the man is Dominican and he looks very happy. Big up to DNO for representing all its people, not just the “tidy” ones. I love the photo and the spirit in the mans smile. We are a small country with big hearts, let us not forget to love each other!
