    I love your reporting but when you say the pickup truck “ran into the cliff, flipped over and hit the western side of the cliff” you force me to ask, “Which side of the cliff did it run into?”

    Fi .rst of all grand bay is a beautifull village on the island of dominica, we should not promote division within the community weather you are from grandbay, or pointe mitchel or roseau you are a dominican so let us unite as one. and dont cretizise.

    I would really appreciate it if DNO would stop posting comments that are in no way related to the news article. This whole thing between Family Guy, Shatta and Grand Bay people has nothing to do with the above story. Sometimes these are just colleagues/friends sitting next to each other in the office writing CRAP on DNO, y dont they use their facebook page for that?

    So im appealing to DNO to stop publishing those negative and ignorant comments.

    DNO quickly becoming a medium for beff and mepuis. The comments require better editing. DNO come on, you can do better. Dominica deserves better. The world is reading too.

      What’s more disappointing than the reported news, are the comments that are posted. For example, you miss the entire point of the report and attacked DNO. Why don’t you guys stick to the point. There seems to be a serious accident under the cliff and DNO is reporting what they know so far and that’s your comment? In your own words, “the world is reading” stop making us Dominicans look stupid and ignorant by posting such comments. I see nothing wrong with the report, it is breaking news and I see these types of reports on CNN, ABC and all the other international news agency….Stop the foolishness!!!! GREAT JOB DNO!!!!

      tricky r u an idiot or what!!!! ADMINISTRATOR….pple will always post whatever they want to. but u telling them find another news source is childish n unprofessional. leave that for somebody like me to tell them. u dont have to like what they say but u have to accept n, if u feel the need, respond in an intellegent manner. afterall the whole point of a news source is to give credible info and encourage pple to support..not push them away…no matter how stupid n ignorant they r. good luck to u.

      Jai Gwabay Par Ka Fou because of your comment, this is a traffic accident where people were injured, you should be saying a prayer for those people involved in the accident ,instead of calling Grand bay people names and making it a Grand Bay issue

    May 21, 2011

    so why is that during any incident that requires an investigation there’s always a crowd? most of the times the large crowd creats more trauma on the victims and this is bad. i believe that as soon as the professionals arrive at the scene the area should be made clear of undesireables, but we dont see that in dominica. everyone wants to take photos on their blackberry to circulate not having any regard for the victims privacy. so many things are so odd here and no one in authority pays any regard.

      I agree with the idea of clearing the onlookers when emergency personnel and law enforecement arrive.But i know for a fact that the police are the ones leaking the pictures to their friends in foreign,their girlfriends and wives at home and sometimes to the media.

      May 22, 2011

      Drugs,(including medical and non medical marijuana) alcohol, politics, cell phones: we texting sexting, beffing ,bad roads some of us listening to music sewo,others too busy, some plain stupid suffering from Newril syndrome: want to leave home 2.30 from where ever reach our destinations at 2.30 . and not have our rides sweat lol “Newril syndrome”Some of us doh know which way is up, or like in this case where’s West.
      The laws need to be upgraded: speed limits enforced, like heavy fines that could bankrupt you,seizing cars etc, taking away lics , jail time spanking/flogging in public. etc that’s the only way to teach these AHs.Drink and drive when caught $10,000.00n or 3 yrs jail first offense. second $30k
      5 yrs in jail 3rd offense we lose ur key.Then and only then will sense kick in.

        Read your Bible properly and your need to visit Grand Bay, We Grand Bay People are very welcoming, friendly, warm hearted etc, we do not take shit from any one, we will stand up for our rights and will continue to do so until the end of time, if this is your reason for calling us Pagans, all I have to say is Father Forgive you Shatta and the rest, you being a Believer and not a Pagan should know that no authority is given to you by the Almighty to judge others

        God will be our Judge come judgment day not you nor anyone
