Linden Lestrade, a member of music band Fanatik, has been hospitalised after he fell from the band’s truck this afternoon during jump-up.
The accident reportedly occurred close to the old market area in Roseau.
Lestrade is the son of former police commissioner Matthias Lestrade.
Fanatik Inc officially launched their self-titled album ‘Fanatik’ in February at Club 91 (Krazy Koconut).
Dominica News Online will provide more information as it becomes available.
the thief on the cross ask jesus forgiveness if dominicans were in Jesus place they woul tell the thief to go to hell DOMINICANS hush your mouth
I never realized that Dominicans are so ignorant and hateful. No wonder that place is so undeveloped and poor because of the small minds of the people there. Poor Dominica was a place i once like but after reading these comments and see how you people think it is sad to even consider liking it anymore. People develop your minds and help improve the status of your country and ask God to cleanse your hearts from the evil and bitter thoughts that dwell there.
Mr. Lestrade intended to kill Greg unjustly and u thinking u free. u think u can buy the law. karma is a female dog. falling from a truck so simple eh i wonder whats going on, no one knows, just GOD. i am now very afraid i did so many wrong things 2 people i am also waiting for my karma and i my self will surely receive it. so i to feel your pain.
??
Positive — negative what?!!! everyone is entitled to their opinion… Just make ur comments and stop sending feedbacks from people’s post. Gosh!!
DNO any update of how he is doing?
Yeah like we get an update about the guy he attempted to kill?!!! roll eyes smh
thank you very much.

get well soon
a path
In the eyes of man it may seems that we have gone free, but the one above sees and knows everything. we can never escape for our evil deeds. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
its nt the fact of wishing anyone bad but just remember that is evil brings its own reward.
When will Dominicans have anything good to say about any situation???? So much for a religious Nation!!!!! Karma or NOT … what does that have to do with what God has in store for all of us? Like it is said IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN TO YOUR FRIEND / FAMILY MEMBER would you have said the same thing? Would you be thinking the same way?
It is time that we all be MATURE in our thinking and stop casting judgement or trying to say what should or should not happen to people. There is ONLY ONE JUDGE and ONLY HE DECIDES all our fates!
All these people talking about “don’t judge” you know what? Why then do we have a justice system where people ultimately go before a JUDGE? It is supposed establish how to fairly and justly treat our fellow men. And yes we judge on whether the judge’s rulings fairly adhere to the rules. I always say treat others how you would have them treat you. To me that is the ultimate judgement. If you wouldnt want someone else to do it to you, then it cannot be good. Simple.
all i can say is, its rather unfortunate this happened to him.
however, i believe in kama
he attacked and hurt almost killed an innocent man
now the gun is pointed at him
this is so true uh
I DO NOT KNOW WHY WE CHOOSE TO HARBOUR HATE IN OUR HEARTS, THIS GUY DID SOMETHING SOME TIME AGO AND HE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE COURTS AND IF JUSTICE IS NOT DONE THEN THAT IS BETWEEN HIM AND HIS GOD. THIS IS A HUMAN LIFE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE, JUST AS IT WAS HIM WHO FELL OF THE TRUCK IT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN ANYONE OF US OR SOMEONE RELATED TO US. INSTEAD OF BRINGING EACH OTHER DOWN WE SHUOLD TRY TO BUILD THEM UP AND WE THEREFORE NEED TO FORGIVE OUR BROTHER/SISTERS 70X7 JUST AS WE WOULD WANT CHRIST TO FORGIVE US.
I read all the comments on here. Some are positive and encouraging while others are negative and discouraging. Let me just say here that it is time for us Dominicans to start thinking positive and desist from speaking negativity. Dilemmas, accidents, death, mishaps and unforeseen circumstances do happen to the best of us. Today it might be Linden, tomorrow it might be you and I. How do we expect to build this nation of we continue with this kind of mentality? My prayers and well wishes go out to Linden (who I know personally as a friend and fellow-musician) for a speedy recovery and for being back on his feet. In the mean time, rest, chill and take it easy.
Jah Love
I WISH THE BROTHER FEEL AND GET BETTER AS TIME GOES BY. BUT PEOPLE DO NOT BE ALARMED BY THE FACT THAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT THIS TRAGIC SITUATION AND THE INDIVIUAL INVOLVED. THESE PEOPLE ARE LIVING BEEN. THE DEAD CANNOT SPEAK. THEY REMEBERED THE PAST CASE THAT JUSTICE WAS NOT SERVED CORRECTLY AFTER HEARING THE EVIDENCE OF THE CASETHIS INDIVIUAL IS INVOLVE IN. IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEVER LEFT THERE MINDS. THE SAYING GOES ,IF YOU DO GOOD , GOOD WILL FOLLOW YOU AND IF YOU DO BAD IT SURELY FOLLOWS YOU. BUT GOD IS A FORGIVING GOD. HE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE. THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS A MURDER AND GOD STILL FORGAVE. SO LET US LEAVE ALL JUDGEMENT TO HIM. WHEN IT RAINS , IT DOES NOT RAIN ON ONE MAN HOUSE. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN TO US HUMAN AT ANY GIVEN TIME, GOOD OR BAD. SO PEOPLE WATCH YOUR REMARKS. DO IT IN A GODLY WAY.
DOMINICANS,
DO YOU ALL KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF THIS FOOLS CRIMINAL ACTIONS AN INNOCENT MAN HAS A BULLET LODGED IN HIS SPINE THAT LINDEN LESTRADE PUT THERE WITHOUT ANY PROVOCATION TO HIM? LINDEN IS AN ATTEMPTED MURDERER AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WALKING THE STREETS AS A FREE MAN. DOMINICAN JUSTICE SET HIM FREE, BUT GOD’S JUSTICE DID NOT. LINDEN NOW YOU MUST PAY.
Without provocation….? Allu should really get facts straight… Allu just wishing de man bad because allu think he is better off than allu…
By the way… the case is still ungoing…. talking shit about dominican justice set him free.. I hope if this ever happens to you that you ask Dominican justice to keep you on remand because you are such a devoted dominican!
The carnival tradition is aligned with freedom – freedom of speech included. It’s mas and people say what is on their mind during carnival.
Some of us express sympathy and that is kool and kind but if some people dont feel sympathy because of Linden’s brutal act then I can also understand that too.
I believe that people are more or less expressing their disappointment in the justice system rather than just Linden.Unfortunately Linden has benifited from the unbalance justice system in Dominica. It is however unfortunate that the very same people who are mad because of the preferencial treament that Linden received these are the ver same people who cheer on others who break the law and manupilate the legal and justice system to delay jurisprudence and judicial proceedings.
Mwen Cai Tewe Va Val- Last Lap
the lord is in control he will be with you and speedy recovery
may god bless you and speedy recovery to you the man up above is so wonderfull his going to be over you my friend may god bless you this could happen to any one because am a carnival lover ass well only this year i did not come to dominica okey so let people run dear mouth my brother
This is so sad, I spent a few minutes reading the hate, unforgiveness and uncaring attitude that we
Dominicans seem to possess. It led me to think REAL HARD of our COUNTRY and what has been
happening in light of the crimes for the past two years. My conclusion is we have become so
cold-hearted and spit out so much hate, that we fail to see THIS IS THE CAUSE OF OUR DEMISE.
DOMINICANS, LET US LOVE EACH OTHER INSPITE OF, ONLY THEN WILL WE GET PEACE IN
OUR LAND!!!
MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT US!!!
I agree we must love, justice is a very important part of love. For healing to take place the wrongs must be amended with justice. One cannot simply allow crimes to go untreated.
Your intentions are noble and I respect that, however, justice has to be applied, whether persons involved get a fitting punish/imprisonment, or he apologises to the family or blood money to the family or something. When a grown man commits buggery with a 6 yr old then kill that child then by technicality he gets away only to be seen on the streets drinking a beer; this is very heartbreaking. This family received no justice; did this killer try to make amends with the family at least through his lawyer? At least to empathize with the family? So my friend we cannot spew love love love.
You that MULIM ALWAYS person need to just SHUT the F$$$$ up
what is so wrong about carnival isnt it the celebration of our people when we were free from slavery. they took drums an make music. the world has modernize an there is more equipments an more music. where in the bible that it say celebration is wrong?people can go to carnival but is the manner in which one behave is wrong. all the christian people who run an judge people open up your minds. some of you drink an first thing quote the bible to cover up your action ” wine is a mocker strong wine is raging an whosoever thereby is deceive is a fool” stop judge the actions of people cause there is only one judge an stop speak bad of people.
Carnival actually stems from a pagan ritual that had to do with eating and drinking .. glutony and bachanal before Lent when people would all of a sudden become “holy”. Slavery was abolished in August… August Monday is what actually celebrates emancipation. Get
Very intersting observation and you are absolutely right. Carnival in Brazil for instance predates the abolition of slavery there (1888). The origins of carnival are even older than Christendom and the word bacchanal itself is derived fro Bachus, the Greek god of wine……..how appropriate!
i dont think carnival before lent has anything to do with slavery, but has everything to do with the lentern season. actually it a catholic festive time which brings an end to eating meat and the beginning of fasting and eating fish during the 40 days of lent— many european countries are having carnivals.
google it to find out.
illuminatiiiiiiiiiiiii
With all this bashing and bashing here about forgiveness and vengeance, I was led to make a comment.
We should say the right thing when these misfortunes happen to someone in our country or society.
I know Greg’s family personally but now is not the time for those things that are being said. We do not know when some misfortune can happen to us. We need to seek the Lords face and pray for our Nation, Our Leaders, Our Children, the Young people and the “Pep” of the Nation – Dominica. We need to repent daily for our shortcomings and talk life on our nation and its people yes life and not curses.
The talents we have are to be used for the Glory of our Creator and this includes tutoring and training other persons as well. To lift them up to glorify the Name of the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise. But at the same time we must respect all our fellowmen. When they stumble we should give a helping hand and try to let them rise. He the Creator is Judge and we cannot judge anyone since he is the one who know the condition of our heart. In our carnal self, we will never understand what it is to forgive. When we become like minded like our Saviour, it is only then we can forgive those who have wronged us and what we feel is pity for the person (s) who did the wrong as we see them as persons lost and who will not see the Kingdom. It is the Fathers wish that not one (none) of us perish. That is why (my personal view) the wicked live longer so they can get a chance to repent of their wrong doing. Remember that Saul who later became Evangelist Paul was “wicked” before he got converted. He only turned when he was struck by the hands of God on the road to Damascus.
So who are we to say that this one and that one cannot change. Our Great Creator is the one who will have mercy upon who he will have mercy.
As a people we need to accept the lord as our personal saviour and be in obedience to him doing his will not our carnal and selfish will. The word (his word) has guidance for everything in life including a lot of the things we indulge in. Yes we created dance, song, sex etc. But we need to follow his word and guidance when we have to do those things. We have an enemy who has come to steal, kill and destroy and he uses all the good things that our Father created to satisfy his own selfish ways and what does he say to us ” Our Father created all those things – sex, music, talents. But the question we need to ask ourselves are we using all those things he created for his Glory and honour? Is lewdness, having sex here and there (commiting sin against your own body) as though one should taste each and all sundry, Nakedness and the songs (real distateful and degrading ) created with the talent given by him in line with his teachings and commandments? The dressings that some of us dress to turn on the other party. If we do not take stock, some persons will soon walk naked and I mean naked taking into account, the skimpy clothing that some wears
Let us be guided by his word and stop making excuses which the enemy infacts wants us to make actually.
my brother / sister
i couldn’t agree with you more
you are real we need to face the facts in life and recognise the real not just what we see with our eyes
dominicans are asleep and they need to wake up
if they don’t wake up the devil will take them not me am saved sanctified and redeemed
u aself expect people to read dat long fing den………………stupesssssssssssssssssss
poor man…once he nnot deead is all
I read the headline to this article with the hopes of getting a better understanding of what happened yesterday. However, its amazing at the comments made here..I wasnt aware that the young man has a case pending, nor did I need to know. The important thing here is that we as human beings be compassionate and display a bit more sensitivity to the fact that he could have lost his life. Accidents happen, and can happen to anyone of us whether we are good or bad..never revel in a persons’ bad fortune…I know Dominicans should be more sensible than the comments Im reading here…I hope I wont change my mind on that.
I totally agree with your comment.
I didn’t know about this young mans past, and nor did I wish to know. What is relevant is that he has had the misfortune of falling of a truck. Thanks goodness he is still alive and lets hope he makes a speedy recovery with no lasting implications.
Dominicans are way to judgemental. Only seeing others faults, but always keen to sweep theirs under the carpet. We ALL have something we want kept quite (if not us personally, then a family member).
So by asking if that was the same guy involved in a shooting incident last year, that is wishing him bad? To be honest, the first thing that came to my mind was “oh boy, they both suffered head injuries.” I am happy the first young man was able to pull his life together after – i saw him around Roseau this carnival. I hope this one can do the same. That is all.
To ELYJA!
Look up the word redeem, it means to buy back, one cannot redeem himself, it is for yeashwa to do. You mean well, but using the wrong word
u people with the negative comments are all FOOLS
Dominica has no standards. Does anyone check the capcity of these trucks or makes sure that speakers etc well afixed. Trust me God is watching over DOminicans because it doesn’t surprise me that something like this has happenned.
Hope he is of and thank God that it wasnot more serious. We need some REGULATION in this place.
My friend we have stacks of regulations, laws, by-laws you name it we have it. Trouble is there is little, no- or selective enforcement. You ever heard of anyone arrested for driving under influence for instance? We don’t even have a breathalyzer test. Arrested for dumping garbage, even though notices are posted everywhere threatening a fine of $5,000? Safety & health legislation being observed? Yes, we do have a bureau of standards you may be surprised to learn. We are a society of vai-qui-vai and are surprised and offended when we are accused of not being serious. Have a great carnival and worry about these things “tomorrow”.
the man fall from a truck.. they are reporting it.. where all that talk about “what he do coming back and haunt him” coming from? The man as well as all of us will and must receive the consequences of our actions. may they be good or bad. we have too much hypocrits in society that is y all these things will happen in the first place. if allu self didnt make him walk free allu wouldnt have all that to say. this is carnival.. let us all just enjoy it peacefully and take care of what we do and say to each other especially since alcohol makes some of us ignorant. PLEASE! stop the negativity.. people in china already starting to see the teo suns, allu still not ready to change allu ways? in times like these allu want to get worst, more negativity, more black heartedness?! AFTERALL!!!!!!!!!!!
You are SOOO right. they praise what they want, the riducle what they want. they act like they have no morals, they act like they perfect, they act like they not human. I do hope the man gets better. they just a bunch of hypocrits. see how fast thier talk would turn if it was they or thier family in the situation.
I love everyone is asking whether he was not the one who did this and that and even asking for DNO to say he was out on bail or full story – guess DNO is letting us know WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY OR DURING CARNIVAL not one year ago. If you want the story read RELATED STORIES you will get the info.
Let us be logical here the man falling from the truck and whatever he did back then cannot be same news – let us get this right.
I know when it is our family in crisis either side of the situation we would act, think and respond differently so no need to call for DNO to revive the not so present news – no like I do not care, would love to know the outcome too.
Hope he gets better either way for his own good(family friends and supporters) or for the victim’s sake(family friends and supporters) so justice could be served in the matter.
i find they got his picture well fast, compare to when he shot the guy.
Stopp being so critical that you get blinded by reality.
YOU ALL DOMININCANS MAKE ME SICK WITH THOSE NEGATIVE COMMENT REMEMBER YU ALL HAVE FAMILY AND KIDS AND EVEN YOU ALL SELF ANY HOW LINDEN AM PRAYING FOR U AND WISH U A SPEEDY RECOVERY I AM SENDING U BB MESSAGES HPE U GET THEM
so based on what i reading greg is still hurt or recovering den ay ay,,, so long dat happen,,, well while some of us are here saying kaval or don’t forget he shot so n so,,,,, the good lord above wants the best for both of them,,, n so should we
speedy recoverie to you this could happen to any one even my self because am a carnival fan only this year i did not come to da so my brother let people talk the lord is in control
What the heck is Linden doing outside jumping in the band and jumping from trucks after he committed attempted murder? That guy should have been locked up until case is heard and verdict delivered. This is nonsense.
Who is responsible for Justice in our land? It is neither the perpetrators nor the victims of crime. Neither has power over the legal system to acquit or condemn themselves. Who then has the greater evil? You can see how deep these problems go. All the talk here cannot change it but we can change ourselves. May Yahweh help us all through our saviour Yahshua.
Rubbish Eliyah, strongly disagree with your sentiments. Linden should have been locked up like everyone else, simply because he is a ‘LESTRADE’ that’s why. Simply because the ex commissioner of police is his father. This is how it is in DA eh.
this is to show you how justice prevail in this country. he’s celebrating freedom and good health wheras greg is still nursing his deliberate gun shot
These are two POWERFUL NAMES. Muslim you won’t understand. You pray to a Man!! Thanks br to our Creator YAHWEH, Elohim,
Dominicans too hypocrite, I will save my empathy for law abiding citizens, and people who actually deserve it, not a cold blooded attempted murder. People’s idea of justice is for everybody else except my friends and my family, wrong is wrong and if we refuse to condemn it with our laws, then the laws which are greater than ours will force us to understand that no wrong goes unpunished. Unless you make ammends with the victim and your maker, and pay your debt to soceity for your crime WOE BE UNTO YOU.
Another thought for reflection: Remember Wayne? He died at Carnival too at the hands of other Dominicans. Where are the murderers? If Yahweh were delivering Justice and Judgement in this way, they would all be dead or injured right now? What if they live to ripe old ages and we who try to do right die before them, where then is Justice for Wayne? He was unarmed, remember? If he had wronged one of us, maybe we would be on here saying is “Karma!!!” I remember passing through Roseau one Carnival Tuesday night to go get bread after all the celebrations were over. I saw a young man by the old KFC, now Digicel with a stab would to the stomach, on the ground, surrounded by people. It is written “it is not in man to direct his steps.” It means that either Satan direct our steps or Yahweh direct our steps. Only one thing we can control is “Our Choice.” Just as Greg had no control of the moment of his demise, Linden had no control over his? Both of them could have made different choices and the outcome would have been different. Lets say that the Greg incident had turned out differently, if the situation that caused the accident remained, the accident would still have occured. The only difference is everyone would have been sympathetic instead. Lets choose good, so that if evil befalls us, we will still be able to say, “All is well, because my Yah makes all things well.”
My fellow commenters and readers. Linden’s accident is not judgement-day for any incident he may have been a part of. It is written “it is appointed unto man once to die and after death, the judgement.” As it is further written, Good and bad happens to both the righteous and the unrighteous. Even Yahshua, the greatest of the greats was subjected to extreme evil yet he did no wrong. We will only face Yahweh’s judgement at the appointed time, not before and not in this time. Yahshua will return to judge the earth. Sometimes as humans, we take matters into our hands and execute revenge, even that is not judgement, it is payback. “Judgment is mine, saith Yahweh, I will repay.” If this is judgement from Yahweh on Linden, what is it then when the innocent die? and when the righteous die? Let us seek Yahweh while it is early. Let us learn from these incidents and make ourselves right. It could happen to anyone of us. It may not be at Carnival as some of us do not participate in these earthly celebrations but it can be in a traffic accident. it could be in an earthquake? it could be a heart attack, it could be cancer? it could be leptospirosis? it could be anything my friends? Consider these things. Linden if he is not dead has a chance to redeem himself. Greg also has a chance to redeem himself and seek Yahweh. All of us commenting here and now have a chance to redeem ourselves because we are still alive. All we have to do is to seek the way of Yahweh, to follow the footsteps of our saviour Yahshua. That is all. Think on this my friends.
Why are people so hypocrite. I hate when people use God as an excuse to show their true colours. God don’t like ugly – and ugly comes in many faces. It comes when you are vain , and you think you are better than another. It comes when you judge others who are not where you think you are. It comes when you speak bad of and unto others.
So to those so called Christians who lambasting people for “sewoing” and enjoying themselves, remember that all sin is sin… Partying is not a sin – it’s how you party. I have gone to church and seen so called Christians doing all kinds of Jamaican dance hall moves in the church. Did that mean that they were not Christians? No – did that mean their behavior was unchristian like? It could have been only to me – an outsider.
So before you sit behind the pc and condemn those who “sewo” remember that partying is not a crime and it’s the extent to which people do it that may take it to a wrong state. Not all ‘sewoers” are evil doers and so to not all so called “christians’ are christians
She/he without sin cast the first pebble….
i would shake u toes if u were near me..well said!
Remember there are two forces in this world God and Satan and if it do not glorify God it is definitely glorify Satan. You can put things in whatever manner you want in other to justify what you are doing but it is simply of Satan, like it or not. I would agree with you on the other hand about the Jamaican dance in church and some of the music that some of the churches portray as gospel.
To jusitfy what I am doing…hmm…what i was doing is reading DNO before heading to court…my point was that all sin is sin….and to criticise or judge those who choose to enjoy themselves is just that…criticising and being judgmental. It’s better to advise and say…enjoy yourself in a respectful manner.. etc… why be hypocrite… as a Christian just cuz you have so called found God… those who find God sin just as much …we are all human….
So to the “sewoers” i say enjoy yourself but do it with dignity… there is no harm in enjoying oneself… ppl are to hypocrite…
and to assume that i am justifying “sewo” since that’s the inference you are making…is being judgmental.
It’s easy to be furious when we feel that someone is getting away with something, but that particular brand of anger can only be felt when we allow ourselves to forget what we are “getting away” with, thanks to God’s mercy and grace. The only reason we are justified is because of Jesus’ sacrificial death; not because of anything we did. So the rain falls on the just and the unjust – Matthew 5:45
Hope you recover fully from this Linden, and all the negative comments makes no sense
what if God were to punish us every time we sin?
Mention of Fanatik’s new album, but nothing in the report that Lestrade is out on bail on a serious charge? More Bizarre Journalism from DNO.
what dose being out on bail have 2 do with his fall. NOTHING.
neither does the album have to do with the fall..
Wow! wow! wow! – you are just something else, the two incidents are totally unrelated – DNO will report on whatever other story when it is necessary – until then, the issue at hand is the fall from the truck. That’s why some people fail exams – we need to understand that we must stick to the topic (answer the question) and not what we would like to topic to have been.
Karma is real
Guys Karma is a female Dog…
I do hope he survives..Death is escape
U people are so damn heartless….Karma is a female dog is not for Linden only nuh…meditate on that.
whats goes around comes around………………
YES CARNIVAL IS A SIN (REVELING) PLEASE READ GALATIANS CHAPTER 5 VERSES 19 -21
I guess not everyone who reads God word understands,
all sin is sin jugdement is for the lord can you throw the first stone?
I guss u are without sin. so u believe an eye for an eye. If u were a christian u will believe in forgiveness. u are wicked.
i hope u remember that when u your self committing your daily sins .so quick to judge others and what they do. live and let live
BUN UR PAGAN N DIRTY CARNIVAL, I NAH CARE WHO VEX.
your comment alone is paganism i dare you throw the first stone
Linden hold strong, you are a survivor and I know you have seen worse. What has to be will be and nobody can stop reggae
Good comment
hope he is not seriously injured and gets well soon. all the best man!
Linden is a survivor and that too will pass. and if it doesnt he may have had the chance to make it right with God, we dont know. What we should do is make sure when our time comes, we get that chance. Somebody got shot, pray for him, wish him well and leave the rest for God. Somebody fell off a truck, do the same and move on, To say or do otherwise in any of the two circimstances is foolish. when you neighbor house is on fire wet yours. LINDEN WILL SURVIVE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WHO VEX LOSS.
you refer to god, but your manner of expression can identify you as to the anger that dwell in you. refrain from anger and be humble. this is a forum to express opinions, its not a forum for words of war.
i dont think that when some writers remind us of this young man shooting another man is talking negative, or wishing him bad. its just a reminder that the evil that we do lives with us and this is another example. i hope his father’s influence will provide him with the best medical treatment and that he get better soon. wish him well.
He doesn’t need his father’s influence. He is a child of God and his own faith will lead him. Blessings to you!
I was quite appalled at some of the comments I read but most disturbed by someone who calls themself ‘Sewo is not of God’. Do you know what it is to be a christian? Do you not know that you are not to judge anyone lest you be judged? If you were half a christian you would not say or do some of the things I saw here. You can sewo for God. In the bible tells you of singing and dancing and of playing instruments while praising God. What bible do you read? The difference is it has to be in God’s name. Carnival is part of our culture. It is what defines us as a nation and as a people. It started as an expression of joy for freedom from slavery. There is nothing wrong with carnival. There is something wrong with lewd and lascivious behaviour. There is something wrong with consuming too much alcohol. And by the way, there is nothing wrong with wine. Jesus even turned water into wine to continue the sewo in the wedding. There is something wrong with illicit sex. Do you know that some of these things go on in the church? I know a lot of churches, especially the pentecostal church, which has a constant sewo. Show the difference.
My other concern is that you chose to answer every word which dropped out of people’s mouth. You profess to be saved, act like it. People are allowed an opinion. Use your time to witness to them instead. Use your time to pray. Use your time to read your bible. There is evil in the carnival band and there is evil in the church. Do you think that saying you are saved and going to church will get you into heaven? Well think again Some of the people you see jumping up will get into heaven and some of those in church will not. It is what is on the inside my friend, not the outside. With this, I do hope you consider your faith and enlighten yourself about the road to the kingdom.
very well said …………..
oh u have no idea how nuch this puts a smile on my face,,,well said..
bigger man u are indeed the bigger man. Well said. I could not have said it better myself.
HOLD ON…… They still using those two words there nah? “SAVE and UNSAVE” ay ay…. ahben weh papa
In addition, I LOVE that Question and I quote, “Do you think that saying you are saved and going to church will get you into heaven?”
SOme of them so called Christians that calling themselves saved there… If they believe in God and they read properly they will See and realize that one is not saved until after Death and judgment by God himself.
Why is this even making the news…I mean seriously…
this happened in public during an event, one of our own was hurt, sooooooooooo?????? — u need a reality check boss
Ha ha …seriously. That’s how small-minded and wicked Dominicans are. Wasn’t the writer aware that another man had also fallen? He injured his hand, but noo, rather than put that, there was mention of Linden’s father. Where does that come in? DUMBINICANS – SPITEFUL AND JEALOUS.
Well he will taste air ambulance and hospital in martinique just like greg. Who vex lost all I can say is KAVAL!
YOU SOUND SO IGNORANT!!!
ignorant eh? According to soul puss woe woe woe to those evil doers, human justice may be tainted but when you see people commit crimes with impunity and they have no remorse, they reap what they sow. You can pretend you doh know that, but in de bottom of your heart you damn well know, what goes around comes around one way or another….I sure your mammy teach you dat.
Doing evil is not always physical. It entails wishing bad on others, so be careful about reaping what you sow.
Wishing and wanting bad for people may turn around and bite you or even worse those you love dearest. You dont know whats going on in people heart and mind….How can you say,”they have no remorse” think bigger, Act bigger.
you are right and I know exactly who said this. That persons who said KAVAL sounds like a real jack… and definitely has their brains in their bottom
What he said is true!
hope you never get to taste the air ambulance. karma is a bitch so watch your mouth.
The word of Yahweh says: “Love your enemies. Do good to them that despitefully use you. Bless those that curse you. Forgive men their trespasses that your father in heaven forgive yours. ” Let us pray that men turn from the influence of evil to seek good. The reactions I see here are “human nature” but we must raise above human nature to put on the nature of Yahweh even as Yahshua did when he came to pay for our foolishness. As they did him all their evil, he cried out “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” May Yahweh have mercy on both Linden and Greg and anyone else involved in the matter between them. may he save them from the foolishness of Satan. May Yahweh have mercy on us all and on our country.
I pray that Linden gets better real soon. But i also heard another fella fell off the truck as well. Who is that Guy? Guess he is not as important as Linden.Blessed get well to both of you guys.
Not in important yeah…. Interested…Everything single person on this earth is important to God. As for man, it seems so are more than others…..I hope you guy go back and read things you guys write and comment about. NOT IMPORTANT….LOL….I LEAVE IT AT THAT.
D trucks having too many people on them LOAD againts that lil structure a lot worst can happen if we don’t look into that.I rather bann carnival dan loose a life aint worth it simple as that
Yah they do have too many people on the trucks and worst they are drinking on them instead of banning carnival which i would never do i would protect them on the truck i limit the alchohol usage.
and what makes u think that the man who fell had too much alcohol, why not thinking d truck was wet and he slpped under the wires hangng over in roseau? dere are lots of artists and performers on the truck who dont drink alcohol and that is how dey make a living like everyonelse..to them das their form of employment. i know folks who drink water and redbull and monsters for energy to continue working not a drop of liquor..
@ disturbed. you are sooo right…I don’t know where ppl get the idea that everybody drinks alcohol for carnival. Stupes
hhhhmmmm interesting,,,, was that the calypso voodoo that prosper was talking bout lol oh oh
I am thinking the same thing. Hope nobody is responsible because they will burn instead of Linden.
Sorry to hear of this guy’s fall, however these tall trucks need better protection for the people
who have to be up there, when i saw the pictures last year and commented on the risk of
accendents happening some persons thought that I was talking nonsense. I wish him a very
speedy recovery.
Well he wasn’t all the way on top. He was where the band was and it appears that the board gave way, or he slipped. Whatever the cause, it’s unfortunate and with the help of God, he will make a full recovery. He’s stable, so God is good.
if a man forces you to walk a mile with him, walk two miles with him. We all speak; to condem, insult and redicule. All that should have been was prayer.
I pray for lindel and his family. I ask the almighty to look over him, help him oh lord to recover. I pray oh lord that his suffering be little. If so be your will let me suffer with him to ease his pain. I pray father that what ever has caused his fall to be looked at so it may not harm another. I know father that he has made mistakes but it is through your grace we are reborn. The gift of music you give him is your blessing to him, which he uses to promote his country and his band. If he does it without you. I pray that he change that and include you in everything he does. For with out you we are nothing. AMEN!
I second that prayer. All those saying KAVAL their own will come just as they thinking he get his, just wait. I sympathised with Greg when he got hurt and I am now sympathising with Linden and his family. Let God take care of all men, I will not judge, just be careful what comes out of our mouth as words have power
Amen
You know we Dominicans are allowing our judgementtal ways to get the better side of us?Please people,let us not dwell on the negative which is a thing of the past.Let us concentrate on good,better,best.Let us hope for all that is well.I am not a carnival lover,but if people can enjoy themselves…all is ok.I always say,if we had the power to forgive,then all of our sins would weigh us down,because forgiveness would not be granted.Let us all hope that this young man pull out of this trauma,and let us be better people by praying for him.come on Dominians,let God be the judge here.Happy Carnival to all!
It seems everybody forgot the guy he shot in the head. get well they all telling him…
Punishment the f%$£”! getting there , case close!
hope your house in order!!
I AGREE…I DOH UNDERSTAND HOW U CAN WISH BAD ON PERSON IN SUCH A TIME
shut up
woman time
u know what folks irritate me..dis man fell accidentally and we gloat. when d man got shot, action may have been incorrect, who is to say it wasnt an accident as well or what did the one who got shot do to triger that response? did ever think of that as well? alll we saying is the man got shot, what happened before that man got shot?
The Evil That men do live with them, the man shot greg and got away if it, if it was the other way around greg would be chilling in stockfarm and some of us Dominicans would be saying so much negative thing about him and where he came from bla bla bla….Lyndon sorry to hear what happened but at the same time what you do is that you see, i can imagine the heartache your family are going throught at this time. Greg family went through it aswell and i know they still feel for you and your family as they are God Fearing people…..
Did he get away with it? As far as I know the case is in court. The family that prays together, stays together. We are praying for Linden and he will recover fully.
My friend its a great thing your doing to pray for Lyndon, you cant changed the fact that he has done wrong, and when you do wrong you have a price to pay….well pray together and stay together….. Please remember God answers all prayers and not some…..Fire Burn
the same way that y’all coincidentally forgot all the wrong greg had done before he was ‘the victim’..
Tru Blu strongly agree with you my friend. This is what many Dominicans fail to understand. They talk about praying for Linden and are angry when we speak about the filth and oppression Mr. Lestrade committed against Greg.
I’ll maintain my position, if something tragic happens to an innocent and person with good character in the society, then I feel compassion for this person. I pray for them, visit them at the hospital if I can etc. When a person is evil, a menace to the society, killing people, causing public fear, unrepentant etc, when he or she dies why should I feel remorse for this person? I am relieved this person is gone because people can get a relief from this person. It’s like Allah has given us a relief…these are my sentiments.
Linden isn’t really my favorite person in the world but I did have the chance to work with him for several years. So I ask: before that incident name one negative thing Linden was involved in that made him a menace to society?
Hard working and responsible friend, employee and father?
Band leader.. Impromptu, fanatik
Community oriented and involved in church activities (using his talents)
Music Lovers Government Band
He did have a good character… But Most dominicans will not see that… they will only see who his father is/ was!
Linden attempted to kill Greg in cold blood. Up to today Greg still has to undergo treatment ever so often. So I do not care about this Music lover sh*t. I do not care how long you guys worked together. How could he have a good character by pulling the trigger in attempted murder, fails to apologise to a grieving family, goes to play music as if nothing happened? The man had ample time to make it right, you mean to tell me this is the impracticality of christianity? Are you telling me a man can just pull the trigger and no kind of justice is metted? Or, are you denying that Greg was shot by Linden? Are you saying that Greg was a troublemaker? You people need to get off the damn hypocrisy! I do not believe in turning the other cheek. Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you, fair and square. Be just for this is nearer to piety.
If the justice system fails to work here, it seems the muslims must establish it’s own justice system in the land. Too hell with the secular pagan laws, we doing our own thing! Sharia in Dominica to anyone who messes around with our people! This is just bogus!
not a carnival lover but it could be my nephew falling of that truck. i do say sorry to hear that. hope uget well soon n its not nothing serious, i do hope for the rest of the day other truck lovers will be careful and take heed.
I have never seen and I do not believe that there is any other country where people are so foolish like Dominica. No one is and I would hope not, wishing that the guy dies but come on people, the same way you praying for him did any of you offer comfort and prayers to the victim and his family when he shot in cold blood?. Yes he shot the guy in cold blood and those of you saying otherwise no that is the truth. Has it ever occurred to you that some of those making, as you say, “negative comments” may be relatives of his victim. They are still hurting my friends so in as much as you offer prayers for him please also do so for the victim of his callous act and his family.
I’m glad you are not one of us foolish Dominicans.
It is you God given right to pray for whomever you believe needs prayers but do not decry others for their view. A family is hurting as we speak and I am told that the guy has shown no remorse for what he did. So while you are offering up prayers for him, plese do the same for his victim and the his grieving family; they deserve prayers and comfort also. I will also let you know that i know Greg’s family and while his father and I had our differences, I do feel for him and what he has been going through,compassion should not only be extended to our friends or those we like.
Shot in cold blood!?… for the love of I do hope you DO NOT WORK IN THE MEDIA.. and for your information many of us did pray for him and continue to do so even today…. those of us with hearts anyways.
BTW… Greg has victims too eh… the two friends of mine he threatened to kill on numerous occasions…
Nuff said eh… I hope Linden is well… And I’ve seen that Gregg is alive and well (still loud and rude and disrespectful too)
Prayer is the answer to all things, so just lets do it for him and family

a lil fall cannot stop the sewo .. come on man .. u better be goood to go… for the last lap …emancipate urself from mental slavery and lets make carnival 2011 the best ever .. more sewo
u not easy wonder if it was your family if u would comment like that hmm have mercy on us lord!
b4 u make those comments u first have to find out how is he. He has bleeding on his brain and has to b flown to Barbados. Its not all about sewo. Sewo always there.
Greg had bleeding in his brain too
Tell me about it Oh well, my bro or sis I agree with you. People like vigilante reflects his ignorant posts. Mr Lestrade never apologised to Greg and his family in no way, he pull up on truck playing music. There is a creator above. You cannot do evil to people, attempted to kill Greg and get away with it. I refuse to feel sorry for Mr Lestrade. Did he feel sorry for Greg? Did he give Greg and his family their rights? No! Thus my position is uncompromising that I hope Mr Lestrade takes time to reflect on his wicked ways.
Can someone tell me whether carnival is a sin? Or is having a good time a sin too? Please people, we can do better than that. Judge not. And who gives us the authority to say that the guy is not right with the Lord? Judge not. Let the Master be the one to do that. Our responsibility would be to put ourself right and lead others to do the same. so judge not. Peace my people…
WHEN U DRESS WIT UR BEDROOM CLOTHES , DOING ALL KINDS OF EROTIC DANCES ON THE ROAD AND ALL DRUNK I REALY DONT THINK ITS RIGHT IN GOD’S EYES .
STUPESSS……….THE FIRST SETTLERS BARELY WORE CLOTHES…..THEY GOT DRUNK OF CASSAVA BEAR….SO WATTTT…..SO WT U TALKING BOUT BEDROOM CLOTHESSSS……IS FREE UP
@stupes heeheehee that was a funny post but so true
I THINK U REALY PLACED UR WORDS 2 MAKE UR SELF LOOK GOOD
Linden! I will keep praying for you. God will see you through. I pray that he gives your family (daughter, parents, siblings) and other close associates strength to be with you as you recover. Hang in there my dear friend.
hope you prayed for GREGG and his family too. because he was hospitalized and had to flown to get treatments for his infection which was inflected by this very guy.
so hope you pray for all.
thank you
TRUMPS FRIEND
Hope YOU prayed for Linden as you prayed for Greg, clean you kitchen first, your will come.
Where in his comment did he say that he had prayed for Greg?
To the Lestrade family, I will keep you all in my prayers and I do believe with the help of the almighty that lindel will get better. Your is a very loving, caring and kind people. I say so not by guess, but because of my encounter with you all over the years. God bless and do keep the faith the lord will see you all through.
To Muslim Always:
Now you talking. Here is my take:
If a man hurts me by accident, no problem. I forgive him and we move on.
If he hurts me intentionally and later he realizes his error and asks for my forgiveness, I will grant forgiveness and we all move on.
If he hurts me or my loved ones intentionally, and the law allows him to get away with it, and he does not ask for my forgiveness, then he will not get my forgiveness. I may or may not choose to pursue him, but I will not feel sorry if bad befalls that individual.
So in simple language, if he shot someone, got away with it in court, did not seek forgiveness from the person or the person’s loved ones, should they pray for him now that he is hurt? Should they feel bad that he had an accident? What would you be saying or doing if he had shot you or your loved one? It is easy to say forgive and forget, until you are the victim. Your tone changes real fast when you or your loved ones are suffering.
Muslim, you make a lot of sense.
you are soooooo right……….when it is our loved ones our tones do change………….you can’t blame that guy’s family and friends. we are all human
i couldn’t have said it better.
I totally agree with u bro. But u still cannot rejoice about it. Because what happened to u why u are not feeling sorry for him can come and happen to u again by another person.
Nobody is rejoicing @ vigilante. You have the wrong picture. It’s a matter of principles and justice. When people do evil it leaves with them, Allah also punishes a person either in this life or the hereafter. He wronged Greg big time, by the grace of Allah Greg has another chance to life, if not, he would have been in his coffin. It is Mr Lestrade’s duty to apologise to the family of the man, if he doesn’t have the guts to open his mouth but to write a letter to his family. Put yourself in Greg’s family shoes…People must not support oppression in the land. I believe in justice for all not for one set who has a surname!
chhh boy wat i hearin dere nuh … is just prayers wii … hold strong my boii
Papa met! Is that the same guy who shot the man in his face outside a popular nightclub? Wat happened to that matter in the cour? If he was indeed wrong in dat matter n noting happened in court, this is proof that justice comes in all shapes n forms. If that’s not the case, this is a veery sad incidenr. May u get weLl soon
jay urs may be around the corner….never celebrate ppls miss fortune…no matter who it is…today is mine…in a few minutes may be yours!!!
TRUT I dont find jay celebrating anything. You looking for rain on a cloudless day! You all fail to realise, some very basic laws of the universe still exist! Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It has to be questioned that the victim of the fall is the same one who shot that other greg person. It is cause for wonder. Let me tell you we live in a universe that is actively awake, energies that flow beyond normal human activities. Karma is a mother….. TRUT is not celebrating misfortune, we cannot stop the laws of the universe!!!!!!
WOW!!! A guy falling off a truck brought religion out in the open. Dominicans just too religious for me tan . Maybe we need to focuss more on all the soucouyants that a flying all over the place every night,landing on my house preventing me from sleeping and sucking my blood. The man sick at the hospital, pray for him to get better
Surrender to God…and accept his son Jesus Christ that is how you can be protected from the evil spirits keeping u up…and sucking your blood…and PS…am not religious ok….am a servant of God and all that i say might sound religious but as far as am concerned my opinion don’t matter, is all that surrounds God that matters…
Sewo is not for God, your are right. Next time post a prayer and when you do, look at your face and then look at Lindels’.
if you have jesus and you born again that will stop im a victim of what you saying there jesus redeemed me from that
God knows all.. and knows what he is doing. I feel bad for his family.
Does anyone know if he fell from the very top? or did he fall from the middle?
He fell from the middle – where the band members are, but it really doesn’t matter. One could be pushed on ground level and it could be worse. He is stable now – just have to be monitored and second and third opinions will be taken.
Jayne I’m glad you realized after you made you frist statement that it wasn’t the best thing to say. You’re right though…God don’t like ugly but he ain’t to kin about pretty either. This could have happen to anyone close to you or me and no matter what the person may or may not have done in their lives we should never want bad for each other and that’s why I’m also glad you’re keeping him in your prayers. I’m keeping him and his family in my prayers and I hope he pulls through this. We should all keep him in our prayers.
Pray God’s blessing upon u Lindel. Dominicans again i say we r too quick to think act and behave negatively. we need a blessing in this land… We leave judgement for the Lord. we never think of the good so spontaneously let’s continue to keep DA as the blessed gem it is/
Wow that all I kind say for nw
U never know where u can “fall”
You know something, we Dominicans have no damn conscience i swear.. a man is fighting for his life and this is the crap we say…@ Sewo is not of God!, if u were a christian this is not the foolishness you would be saying…you would be on your knees praying for him and his family and shooting a man in a club? we need to get our facts straight before we bump our gums and talk crap…I am of the firm conviction that we are heartless…
Of course he shot a man, outside a club! That is fact!!! He said it was accidental!
go find your self fool
do u know what were the circumstances? so u need to b quiet! doe start me! were u there? Did u see?
HE SHOT A MAN IN THE FACE!!! THen claimed it was an accident!
were u there when it happened/ did u see the whole incident?
we need to stop being so bias..too many times we do things and never expect folks to react…human beings react it is human nature…so before we do things we need to think of the consequences before it happens…and we wil prevent alot of the crap from happening…
You need to stop being bias. Yes the 2 were having an argument! He left to his car to get a gun! That right there is a crime! Then wants to cry it was an accidental discharge after he shoots a man in the face!
were u there? what were the circimstances surrounding the situation? do u even know?
Ohhh of course he is being prayed for,,,,,one thing when christian talk and open their mouth they getting blast, but u all quick to remember that we are the one’s who praying for the nation…while the unsaved and sewoerss..having their fun and selfish pleasures!!! hmmmmmm….and am laying down the facts….if he died without christ…WITHOUT CHRIST HELL IS THE PLACE HE WOULD HAVE GONE…IF…I SAYING IF HE DIE WITHOUT CHRIST!! LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!…But glory be to God he still have a chance to seek God’s son and accept him as lord and turn away from the wicked ways!
do u know what it is to b a christian fool? God forgive you for you know not better. you cant speak better if dont know better. who are you to say he wasnt? where he was at the time doesnt dictate his outcome. do you know what was in his heart? and if u were a christian u would b christlike and it means to be empathetic for your brothers and sisters and pray for him that he may made worthy of the promises of Christ. thou shalt not judge. what makes u any better, sitting wid ur self righteous self an laying judgement? what makes u any different from him on the carnival truck. You have just committed a grievious sin. Judging him. i suggest u repent for it as well and pray a truck doe strike u down on ur way to work just like he was working before u got a chsnce to repent for this sin…God help you…will pray for u! i suggest u learn about christianity before u go preaching propaganda. my dear, there is a time and place for everything…
I do pray that he is not hurt too badly…it could have happened to anybody . People even fall off their beds and die. So dont judge
hope evrything is gud for now
not too long ago in his old band had speakers fall in de crowd and knock some ppl out themman never pay dem ppl mind.. see wat happn now
is it because he did not pay them that happen?
he said “”them man never pay dem ppl mind” meaning they didn’t bother care and weren’t concerned!
I dont understand why my people can be so bitter. We need to let to and let God. Linden, I pray that all will be well with you. I will keep you in my prayers.
stupes…is he alone dat in de band? have some common sense people..
Our prayers with you and your family. Mr. & Mrs. Lestrade be strong. God is in control.
Prayers are being said on a daily basis for health and strength and the prayers continue. With faith, it will be just fine.
I really hope he will be ok. I understood he will be sent overseas for further medical treatment.
awwwwwwwwwww.. dats so sad.. hope he gets well
I will keep you in my prays. I always think about the danger of the people on the truck on carnival time and also the people that are jumping up close to it. Many people are in a trans from the music and the excitement and also intoxcitcated that they let their guards down. From small I always here that when carnival times comes around something stranges happens. They say the devil loves these times.
Some of us are “invincible”!
We must begin to have National conversations on the design of mobile stages for Carnival bands in Dominica.
For the last ten years we have taken a liken to increase the number of speakers at the back and front of the trucks for carnival bands and HiFi with little attention paid to safety and disruption of telephone, internet , cable television and electricity services to the residents along the carnival routes
Generally our cultural authorities do not factor risk management in our planning and execution of carnival celebrations. There is no need to reinvest the wheel; a quick look at the carnival related websites of Trinidad’s Carnival will enlighten us so that we can adapt a strategy that is suited for our environment and circumstances.
Thus the effectiveness in which the Police makes their presence felt on the two days of Carnival must be adopted by the City Council , the Red Cross, Fire and Ambulance, and the Solid waste Management Corporation. All these institutions assets must be deployed effectively to obtain the optimum experience for Carnival as a major Tourist attraction.
First sensible comment I have read with regard to the incident!! thumbs up!!
me to thats the only sensible comment besides those that are praying GENUINELY for him.
Let express my well wishes and quick recovery to Lyndon – I know him to be a genuine and harding guy in spite what others may think about him but now is not the time to relate what occurred with this incident.
o my god dats y i don’t lik does trucks u no
very sad..i hope he gets better..don’t know u personally but i will keep u in my prayers..
please carnival lovers excercise caution during the carnival..be careful everyone…
You almost killed Greg, he got no justice. You intended to kill him, look at where you shot him! Today, the punishment of Allah fell upon you. When you sow bad you reap bad my friend. I hope you will take the time to reflect on your wicked ways Mr. Lestrade.
Also, I do not see why many Dominicans love to feel pity for evil people. The hearts are so inverted. I’m sorry, I only feel sad for victims, not oppressors. I do not judge people’s heart, I judge actions which is permissible.
You should not call yourself a muslim as you are far from one. Muslims do not think or write the way you do.
If you do not judge people’s heart, how did you decide who are the evil people that you claim “Dominicans love to show their pity to”.
But in general the whole thing that you wrote is based on “clear personal jugdment” to every one with the slightest sense of understanding. You even suggested that the man’s accident should cause him “to take the time to reflect on his wicked ways”. If that is not judgment what is?
But who do you think you are, anyway!
@ Lizavier4satan: Dominicans love to show their pity to…by their actions, the things they say. Yes his wicked ways, to reflect, not his wicked heart, but his wicked ways, what he did to Greg…You hypocrites, where is the justice for Greg. Stop the crocodile prayer rubbish and give Greg some justice. Go to hell with you nation prayer, it’s filled with hypocrisy!
Go ahead and run your mouth, even if you do you are saying nothing. See the amount of havoc muslims are causing all over the world. That is what you should address if you are indeed a muslim.
Comments posted by “Muslim Always” do not necessarily represent that of Islam or Muslims ok. Islam is a religion of peace and actions are judged but by intentions.
I second that! Thanks for posting.
@ critic: Mr. Lestrade intended to kill Greg, that is attempted murder in Islamic sharia. You have not been following the case and the pleas of Greg’s family. You didn’t see the articles they posted on DNO during the national season! So I am very much aware about the peace of Islam but there is justice in Islam too. I am not online to please anyone. I say it as I see fit. Is that you are afraid of these juhal you are afraid to stand up for justice? There must be justice in order for peace to occur. Stop the nonsense!
Man is judged by Islam, not Islam by men. My position towards persons professing Islam but are intentionally evil is the same. If a person makes a mistake and is repentful, I embrace this person with open arms. If a person committs sins and sincerely wants to repent, I still love this person. However, when a person is an oppressor, he loves his oppression, he fails to turn from his wicked ways, how can I love such a person? How do you people judge?
@Roxy: Sorry, a muslim is firm against evil and wicked people. A muslim shows compassion to victims and repentant people. My position is clear towards Mr. Lestrade until it is known he apologises to Greg. In order for him to be forgiven by Allah, he must leave off polytheism and apologise to Greg and his family. What you think, people can just whisper a quick prayer and get forgiveness? It doesn’t work like that my friend.
@ Yes sar: Polytheism is the worst oppression one can commit. The sin is done directly against Allah. My question to you is, how many persons do you invoke in your worship? Do you invoke Jesus and God at the same time? Second, havoc is being caused by all peoples’ on the planet. The zionist media which you are fooled by tries to magnify Islam because they want to rule the world, Islam is in their way, pure and simple. Look at what your zionist friends who claim Judaism and Christianity are doing, they have created war for oil, pure and simple.
muslim again!!! hmmmmm
what u should b worrying about is the amount of people all u religion killing. fooling them and letting them go and committ suicide for all u and having them believe their families will be compensated for their death. And the rest of the borbol all u doing.
@vigilante What religion are you? Do you know the history behind the spread of Christianity?
good answer. I think ppl forget how Christianity started! and how many other religions did!!!!!!!!!!
And what do you say for victims of Religious Oppression? Are you concerned about those oppressed by your own faith? Do you look upon the oppressor of these many victims around the world who cause suffering to innocent people in the name of Allah like you say you look upon this man who got hurt?
Maybe you should think twice about what you believe or re-read what you just said. Because many are oppressed by the demands of your faith. These victims need your concern.
You know, I really thought muslim always was genuine. Incidents bring out the real person inside, so now I know that you are a fake. case closed, i will ignore all posts from you from now on, dont have time to waste.
Yeah you hypocrites, foxes and snakes as the messiah called the scribes and pharisees in your own book. The man shot Greg with the intent to kill him. The man or no one on his behalf sent their condolescences. Greg’s family even wrote letters to the editor on DNO asking why Mr Lestrade is still in music public affairs on National Day. You all wicked eh in Dominica. I stand my ground, justice for Greg and Mr Lestrade need to think and repent for the evil he did against Greg, pure and simple!
As for those fools who speak about religious oppression or hate islam. You never even read a simple pamphlet on Islam but you just running your mouth! Go do some reading!
For your information I have read a lot into the Islam faith that is why I made such comments. It seems like you have taken the matter of justice into your own hands. You decide who should live and should die who should pay and who should not pay. Are you even in sync with your own faith – or maybe you should read a little more. You talk about forgiveness but you seem to hold a bigger grudge than the victim himself. Sad it is that you have to wait for someone to ask for forgiveness for you to show it or give it. – Little faith you have…
@ covering up for Linden’s fault (not praying): There are practical guidelines for forgiveness. There are categories of sinners. This is not a grudge, this is about justice. I’m tired of this crocodile and hypocritical prayers of you people. You people talk about human rights, a man was shot in his temple area at close range, the man (Greg) was flown to a French country in intensive care, Greg still suffers from the side effects of this bullet wound, has to be treated, this Linden goes about his business whilst Greg is fighting for his life playing music on independence day, he should have been banned from christian music thing until his case in resolved. Linden carried on as if nothing happen, no one on his behalf sent a letter of condolescences, he is suppose to be a ‘christian.’ In Islam we apologise, we discuss things, we write or whatever, you cannot leave a situation like this unresolved. Give the family some closure, all you too wicked.
I do not hate Linden, I do not know the person, I am utterly disgusted with his actions and I have a right to be. This is about justice, I cannot stand filth, oppression and evil.
God has judged… and he we’ll continue to judge
Justice will prevail
oh ohhh..thats sad to hear. Hope his injuries are not too serious and he will be up and running soon
Now what if that man had break his neck and died…i wonder if he would have been ready to meet The lord God…and his eternal resting place!! give ur lives to God and stop serving self and the devil….hell is the wrath of God, for those who reject him.
Are you ready to meet the lord if you die in your sleep tonight? Sit not in judgement. God is our only judge.
!! my friend i am always ready! i accepted Jesus into my life…Jesus blood cleans me of my sins, I accept his salvation and his grace….why not accept it too? do that we can both be ready to meet the lord when our time have come…
sorry to disappoint you but is not all those who say Lord Lord will enter the gates of Heaven. U may live to see him reach and enter the gates while u face everlasting fire and damnation…and why are we even speaking of him like we has already signed his death certificate, u need to pray that he lives to see a better day…ur arrogance is distasteful…

i totally agree with you thats a question man should always ask their self
God do not like people like u to put his name in foolishness.The brother had an accident and you that religious fanatic trying to make him look bad.God is the one that gave him the talent to play sweet music and make people happy.Those religious fanatics always think what they do is right.I hope you know that god is also watching you antisewo.Get well Bro Lestrade.
Excuse me…an not religious! i am a born again believer! and God did not give us talent for our selfish gain and pleasure….I WILL NOT BE MOVED BY YOU ALL COMMENTS….i can only say that God gave him a chance and spared his life…just as God himself have allowed me to see another day!
God is pleased when we use what he gives us to give him glory and praise…not the devil and self!!!
If you not moved why you answering?
Some of us have to make a living… Those of us who have talent have the opportunity to share it with others. Accidents happen… Let’s hope and pray he recovers well
Jesus gave his servant talent and went way, when he came back he asked what did they do with the talent and one multiplied it in a way that is pleasing to God…but one hide his in the ground…or as some doing(using it for the work of the devil)…but there is still chance and God’s hand of mercy and forgiveness is always out stretch!
its not about being saved darling, its not once saved always saved..doesnt work that way..its about being saved and continuing to be saved and working towards salvation. it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
The talents we have are to be used for the Glory of our Creator and this includes tutoring and training other persons as well. To lift them up to glorify the Name of the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise. But at the same time we must respect all our fellowmen. When they stumble we should give a helping hand and try to let them rise. He the Creator is Judge and we cannot judge anyone since he is the one who know the condition of our heart. In our carnal self, we will never understand what it is to forgive. When we become like minded like our Saviour, it is only then we can forgive those who have wronged us and what we feel is pity for the person (s) who did the wrong as we see them as persons lost and who will not see the Kingdom. It is the Fathers wish that not one (none) of us perish. That is why (my personal view) the wicked live longer so they can get a chance to repent of their wrong doing. Remember that Saul who later became Evangelist Paul was “wicked” before he got converted. He only turned when he was struck by the hands of God on the road to Damascus.
So who are we to say that this one and that one cannot change. Our Great Creator is the one who will have mercy upon who he will have mercy.
As a people we need to accept the lord as our personal saviour and be in obedience to him doing his will not our carnal and selfish will. The word (his word) has guidance for everything in life including a lot of the things we indulge in. Yes we created dance, song, sex etc. But we need to follow his word and guidance when we have to do those things. We have an enemy who has come to steal, kill and destroy and he uses all the good things that our Father created to satisfy his own selfish ways and what does he say to us ” Our Father created all those things – sex, music, talents. But the question we need to ask ourselves are we using all those things he created for his Glory and honour? Is lewdness, having sex here and there (commiting sin against your own body) as though one should taste each and all sundry, Nakedness and the songs (real distateful and degrading ) created with the talent given by him in line with his teachings and commandments? The dressings that some of us dress to turn on the other party. If we do not take stock, some persons will soon walk naked and I mean naked taking into account, the skimpy clothing that some wears
Let us be guided by his word and stop making excuses which the enemy infacts wants us to make actually.
neither is riches but christians nowadays don’t seem to have a problem with that one… Fact is stuff happens whether you holy-soly or you the worst of the worst. stop judging cuz your own might just be around the corner
what is wrong with u people…am not judging….i am not at all happy that happen to him….am just saying people should turn away from the ways that aren’t pleasing to God, and surrender their lives to Jesus…PS…Am a child of God..my soul is secure in Christ! so whether death comes or not am ready…no matter what may come my way, God have to allow it and is for his glory and honor…and not for mine…i take Job life as an example….
Are you ready to meet you maker??? Then focus on that and mind your business! You are not God so you cannot speak for him! Hypocrite. Is all you soo that going behind people children in de church!
gaynproud….if u feel like comforting yourself by labeling Christians as “going behind people children” then let that make you happy….am it is my business to do the business of God..we are his servants and you will not keep me shut!! Quick to call me a hypocrite, but i forgive you…because the bible speaks of times like this!
You all so called christians always looking fro some nonsense and saying is God…Sinners must repent….and so on. You all must als preach that God is a forgiving God and stop trying to fear people into Christianity. Enough already!!
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
I pray for a speedy recovery for Linden.
I’m willing to wager most of us haven’t shot someone in the face at point blank range!
“ha”….that’s not the answer to give…we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God…if he seeks God’s forgiveness he is faithful and just to forgive
“Dominican woman”….I am not casting stone…and am not judging him….am an too sinful in the sight of God to do that!! I pray that he gets better too…and turn away from the thing of the world and pleasing self and other and the devil…and use his talent for God’s glory!
@ “sewo is not of God” …Who gave you the right to judge the man? It’s people like you who happen to be goody goody , too good to be true that cause me not go to any religion and praise God. You guys are too hypocrite (undercover snakes who come out shouting holy holy whereas deep down you carry come grudge) . There is nothing wrong with sewoing once you sewo in a respectful manner. The guy fell off a truck …wish him well and say a prayer for him.
ok…am going to laugh! hahahha lol…lol so you choice hell because of me? When you die and you stand be4 God, you’ll tell him, but God they that cause me to not accept your son!! so send them hell…(if u die without christ)….We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God!!! don’t look at man for salvation or religion! i will fail u…it’s a shame though because the bible say we are the light of the world…i do believe God will chasten us when as born again believers our light going dim…but he won’t send me to hell because u refuse his son, because of what i did!!
ohhh and sewo don’t bring glory to God…because it’s self,and it promotes, fornication, and sexual immorality…also drinking excessively, foul language, indecent dressing, adultery(if any one looks upon a woman and lust, he have committed adultery in his heart)
Is there still nothing wrong with “”sewoing””?? or reviling?
Yah, I hope the protestant Christians that like to act like because they don’t ‘sewo’ that they don’t fornicate, drink excessively, use foul language, dress indecently, commit adultery and VOLEH, are not the people me the ‘sewoer’ will see in purgatory or hell. I hope the straight pass allu think allu have to heaven there just because you claim to be ‘born again’ really exists. Cuz it’s despicable comments like these that let me know that those among us that call ourselves ‘saved’ are the most in need of saving.
All these things you mentioned are not “caused” by sewo or brought about by sewo. I have always been a defender of persons “free will”. I have participated in carnival or “sewo” many times as a young woman and have always had a good time, maintained my self-respect and shown concern for those around me who may or may not get carried away. If you direct your comments at the soul and conscience you may be more effective. Because “sewo” is far from just carnival and cannot be blamed for people’s personal choices.
The choice to do wrong may occur in any moment – I am not in denial that some activities are more prone to encourage wrong doing but that does not make them negative in themselves. People are responsible for their actions and it is unfair to claim that “sewo” is bad and should not happen when even with that taken away, those who choose to do wrong will do wrong elsewhere.
For years I have been defending the right to choose to party or “sewo”, whether at carnival or at a birthday party, wedding, club, or for no reason at all. The wrong is not in the event it is in our own choices. So have a safe and peaceful carnival season!
Sewo is not of God, I support you a zilllllllllion times!!! Thank God for his mercy, or else he would just strike all these people who make such foolish comments, DEAD!! THank HIm for waking you up this morning. God has cleansed me too, and I pray that God will have mercy on the people who make such comments, rejecting GOd day after day…..THe Bible talks about that…its just coming to pass now….
HAHhahaha…i seeing why the comment is being disliked…because the sewoers coming home and they disgusted….WHATEVER!!!
HAHhahaha…i seeing why the comment is being disliked…because the sewoers coming home and they disgusted….WHATEVER!!!
See…God don’t like ugly…didn’t he almost kill a guy in a club?…
God may not like ugly but he ain’t too kin on pretty either. This could have happen to a member of my family so I’ll keep you in my prayers Linden.
I just knew that somebody was going to bring that one up. Anyway Dominica Zort par febe!!! By the way, what was the outcome of the case?? He got away with it free scot? connections! Connections! That is the most important commodity in Dominica, well I suppose that is attached to money and power..

You are a person with spiritual wisdom and, Love, which is of God, in your heart as well. We are all human beings. God is not out of our lives at all. But there is a time when He allows us to live the way of the world and there is a time when He calls us to live His Ways. Because of His Love, we will know it is His Ways and we will surrender to those Ways as quick as we know them.
Only wicked and evil people, who are God’s enemy, will turn against God’s call. Just because a man is playing a guitar and people are dancing to the music, that does not make no one wicked or evil. God will call them at His time.
That is the reason, we should be careful, not to be so quick to pass judgment on our fellow man’s circumstances. If because something bad happens to a person, I jump in and say God don’t like ugly, I am saying that my ways are pretty, before Him, and that is a big mistake on my side–I am a human being just like that person, and I can make mistakes.
We should never judge people, especially when a bad thing has befall them. Our own befall could turn out to be worse than that.
Also, the man who knows suffering in Life is a luckier man, that the man, whose Life is served to him on a silver platter. Believe it, or not!
yOU MEANT THAT COMMENT FOR ”sewo is not of God”….. because Jayne havn’t said anything like that… next time click properly BUT i like wat you said!…
fuke–chillotte
But do you call yourself a name like that nuh?
Yeah! I did click on Jayne’s reply. I did not look to see that she was the same person that wrote the comment, itself. Anyway, thank you for liking what I said. And as for “sewo is not of God” I would never respond to a person like that; that identity really speaks for the person already
PROOF READING IS GOOD ,IT WILL MAKE THE COMMENT READABLE, THE POINTS ARE VALID.
THANK YOU
My friend be careful
John 17:14-15 (New International Version, ©2011)
14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
I’m not perfect, but I think you need to go and spend more time reading God’s word before forming your own bible. Blessings
And you are quick to pass judgement on Islam and muslims @ Lizavier?
To make such a statement it is very clear than you have no idea what God likes.
God Loves You…open your heart and receive and let the hate out.
God is a forgiving God. I hope Linden recovers from this accident. May his child and family seek comfort in God during this ordeal.
Get your facts straight before you open ur mouth..
THe only fact she got wrong is he shot the man outside the club not inside the club!
Yea tust you ummmmmJayne…i know you and you right God dont like ugly
shame on u for that comment…in as much as he has his faults, u are no better than him for rejoicing about this… since u’re said God doesn’t like ugly, then u’re sayin God doesn’t like u too bcuz that comment shows how disgraceful and stupid u are!..
Anonymous you only read half of Jayne’s comment..that’s the problem with some of us…we don’t read and try to comprehend. yea what Jayne said was not appropriate but she did what you would probably never have done…she inturned said he ain’t to kin about pretty which means she’s no better if she rejoyces so instead she’s praying for him..and I think that was big of her. We should never judge anyone but we should also not condone the bad the some people do.
Prayers do fall back on people when they do not ask for forgiveness. God is the only one who gives and
takes life. One can not want to take a person’s life and walk the streets like it’s o.k or he/she has gotten
aways with it. Trust me what goes around comes around. True say!!!!!
God does not do evil but he allows it.
we do like as he shot someone he paying for it. actions are not all we pay for. we also pay for our towns and some of you all comments will fall back on u. we need to watch wht we say cause we can get punished for it. remember that when we wish these kind of things . cause what u wish for for someone u might just with it for urself, family member, or loved one.
o my
HOPE HE IS ALRIGHT!!!
wow!
