    When friends of the government that are passport dealers are behind the bars for alleged murder, I don’t even know what to say about all these murders taking place and the weak police investigation and very poor judiciary put it place by the government.
    All I can say at this time is my deepest condolences to families and friends of those killed.

    Sincerest condolences to the families of the deceased persons. May you be comforted by the memorable moments they left in your time of bereavement.

    The murders continue unabated without any real strategic plans in place to stem the present the blood letting. The present administration is guilty of depraved indifference and disdain for human life.

    When a government is oppressive and unaccountable that’s TYRANNY. By his action or non-action on the proliferation of murders in Dominica, Roosevelt is a tyrant.
