Roadblock at Salisbury

Police have confirmed that the main road in Salisbury is blocked preventing the flow of vehicular traffic in the area.

The video shows several stones piled up on the side of the road in different locations and the burning of debris.

Dominica News Online (DNO) also understands that last night the police unsuccessfully attempted to search the residence in Salisbury of the former MP for that constituency, Hector John.

DNO will follow this story and bring you more information as it becomes available.

    What we have is a bunch of criminals that are hiding behind their offices are sending uniformed criminals that should be in jail for their crimes are the ones tormenting people. It’s nothing more than the criminals of Domininica fighting against good citizens that are standing against crime

    And what may I ask is the reason for this blockade? Soon Dominicans will get fed up of Salisbury people and their selfish attitude.

    The police does not have to deal with criminals in Salisbury.They must go to Portsmouth or Roseau.The police should compile a list of names and apply for arrest warrants.Every police station island wide should be informed,anybody on the list should be detained and held for 3 days.The criminals should be detained outside Salisbury.Anytime they leave Salisbury detain them proceeding by summons will not work.

    Senseless act which can only result in one outcome. Confrontation with the police. Is this what you really want? What is the objective here? You’re setting yourself up for problems with the authorities. Anyone who tells you that it is a good idea to block the road, more so without an alternate route available is not looking out for your best interest. Run as far as you can from those persons for you will be left on your own when the government comes looking for you. Be smart and don’t allow persons with selfish motives use you to further their causes. Too many “small” persons believe they can do as they please so they use the unsuspecting and vulnerable persons in our midst to further their causes. Don’t fall for it.
    Unlawful action should never be used or encouraged while pressuring the authorities to make the changes you so long for. Use the appropriate and proven methods to achieve those goals.

      Is that what members and key supporters of the labour party do? You must call upon them to stop it, stop coming here and cry, your little fool, because we are not fools. For too long i am supporting this labour partys foolishness and i prove they are not good at all, at all, at all.

      Are you getting money or some other benefits from this very corrupt regime?
      Well my friend the members of the opposition seem to be fed up with police intimidation and harrassment. The police have a lot of work to do, because they have no good training or leadership.

      Have you ever heard about civil disobedience? Martin Luther King Jr. used civil disobedience to get changes to systemic racism laws. Blame corrupt Roosevelt and his posse of parasitic enablers.

        Martin Luther King’s approach was always one of non violence.Many of his supporters did not approve of his method, they wanted to use violence but he was always able to keep them in check. You cannot advocate or support something that’s unlawful and that’s the bottom line. There is nothing wrong with people voicing their opinions but do so peacefully. When you start throwing rocks and bottles at the police, you are not helping your cause but rather hurting what you’re trying to accomplish. Remember this is a tense situation, everyone is on edge therefore it will not take very much to lose control of the situation. Think, think and think some more before acting.

    Civil disobedience has been a part of protests from time immemorial. However, would not like to any loss of life nor property.

    Roosevelt and Blackmore continue to misuse the Montrose Gang (armed thugs pretending to be police officers) to intimidate, harass and jail prominent opponents of this concoction of shady characters and hoodlums purported to be a police force.

    To the protesters:
    All great achievements require time and determination.
    The harder the battle the sweeter the victory.

      Civil disobedience. Really. You refer to blocking of roads as civil disobedience? Common dude, don’t insult our intelligence with that crap. Where was the disobedience? Who did the protesters disobey? You can label an act as civil disobedience when one or a party of persons blatantly disobeys an order or directive to move/disperse. Was that the case in this instance? I don’t think so.
      I refered to individuals such as yourself in my earlier note as “small” people who use and misguide people for their own selfish reasons because you’re able to feed them with crap and have them buy into it.
      You know better than what you posted so call a spade a spade when you see one and stop preying on the vulnerabilities of others.

        Mark you are a perfect example of small minded, misguided person, obviously protecting your own benefit. You are even too dumb to see that the police force is used by this current administration to go after the opposition. Stop spewing buffoonery and idiocy. Seem like the opposition is fed up and they have reasons to. Unfortunately it may continue, if the attitude of the police does not change, because the opposition has a right to protest.

          Citizens have all the rights to protest peacefully. I support peaceful protest 1000% but I can never subscribe to or advocate for violence or mischief. Unlawful acts will only lead to one outcome, TROUBLE. Think about that.

Government should let the police act and not interfere.

      @ Theif’s, Salisbury people are wicked what if someone with an emergency has to get to the Hospital. They are challenging the authorities, if there is any loss of life they will most definitely blame it on Skeritt. What if the Road to the Village of Salisbury was blocked by non residents of Salisbury upset with this nonsensical action.

    The video shows several stones piled up on the sides of the road in different locations? Which video?
    Were the stones quietly placed there by the members of the CDPF?
    DNO, DOMINICANS have you all already forgotten that yesterday police officers were PELTING STONES at protestors?
    DNO please an update on the Emo reporter and the attack on her by this senior fool passing as a police officer.

      Your eyes seems to be very tightly closed! Is it Skeritt and Blackmore that has blocked the road? The road has been blocked by hoodlums with the support of Salisbury people.
