    Spider said it best in his Calypso years ago “too many hooligans running wild, tell me what to do with these damn reptiles, if it’s a case of illiteracy i’m willing to set them free”, but if not tell them the hangman is coming back watch out; and I have a message for the Star-boy-of Stupidity the pastors you had at the groundbreaking ceremony spreading their obeah ,send them to Silver Lake, spiritual healing is needed over our once beloved land, that he and his cabal have destroyed with their greed and downright wickedness.

    My condolences to the families of the deceased and wish speedy recovery to the one at the hospital
    Dominicans are stressed and frustrated by the devil, who has stolen their future from them according to John 10:10, and as a result it doesn’t take much to get them to do something crazy, But my problem with them is, I just don’t know why they not going all out after the Devil, that came to steal, kill and destroy them according to John 8:44.
    So people stop taking the lives of you brothers and sisters or any human beings and instead go after the devil himself and cast him out as we have been admonished in the Bible

    Your life is constantly under threat I Dominica. If it’s not by the gun, it’s by stress, NCDs, by the trigger happy police.

    Heartfelt sympathy to the families of the victims. It is a damning indictment of the society and the relevant authorities when our mothers, sisters and daughters are gunned in cold blood.

    Killers of children and women are the worst of society.

      boy what is allu problem? two people were shot one dead and you talking about stress? And were they shot by the police?

      We need to talk about the youth delinquency problem and no it’s not about employment because a lot of these youth refuse to work honest jobs. They want fast money and want to live the “thug” life. We need to stop making excuses for these delinquents
