why is there so much murdurs in this beautyful country of owers
I used to boast to my friends in America that while all islands have their problems, Dominica isn’t like that. Told them that while I have my American passport, I will always keep my Dominican passport because I will need it to “run back home”. I used to boast and say “google us, you will see for yourself, crime rate next to nothing, stable economy, etc., etc.” Now I am SCARED and ASHAMED to say that. Everytime I come to DNO is nothing but bad news: murders, stabbings, shootings, political corruption. Alas, alas…what have we come to? Have we sould our contry to the Devil? Where did we go wrong? When will this madness end? It is really time for Dominicans to stand up and demand a stop to this. Our country is too small for things like this to be happening, day after day, after day. There is blood on the streets of every village and as I see it, on the hands of the government who sit idly by, dedicating time and resources to other things while Dominicans kill themselves.
I don’t have the answer but there has to be a way to put an end to this. 2011 is coming and if 2010 is any indication of what is to come I am more than scared. Dominicans stand up and take back Dominica.
I trully beleive whats goes around comes around but we leave that in Gods hands as there is such a thing as Karma.
NO human being has the right to take a life of another and the guy(s) who murdered these 2 brothers should not be looked at as a figure to be praised.
Those who are rejoicing just remember the person who killed these 2 brothers are no different form them. The brothers were accused of being killers no what do you call the people or person who killed them.
Some people come onto DNO and comment without even thinking about what they are saying just remeber we all have family good and bad. So when your talking remember a spoken word is very powerful.
I just also want to say there are alot of people saying that the country is this and the country is that. But answer me this what are you doing to make a diffrence ?
Stop being a fool. The girl is mourning her brother. No matter what our family is we still love them. Isola and Josiah had family just like you and they got love just like you. If they were my brother I would feel the same way. You think if my brothers go murdered and I came on DNO and saw all these comments I would be happy? You people are too small minded man. At least she put her name. I dare you to put yours and say who you are…
I remember when the teacher asked Isola to draw something on the board. He didn’t want to so he came and put a dot on there. When the teacher asked, “Isola what is that?” He replied, “Miss well that there is a plane but it is so far up in the sky that you can’t see it properly.” By then the entire class was laughing. RIP Isola you were far from perfect but you were a human being.. No one deserves to be murdered.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We all have done wrong at one point in life, and no one is right or wrong. Josiah and Esola were their own person, what they did is with God, he gives and he takes away too. I saw Esola two days before his death. The night before his death I dreamt of him and his brother and there were big snakes all around them, i awoke from sleep and knew something would happen but i didnt know what yet. I looked for the older brother Esola to talk to him about my strange dream but to no avail he wasnt around. All i can say is rest in peace.
People u all must not rejoice over things like that
it can happen to u .Pray for the parent if u
cant say nothing good dont comment stop all this
rejoicing and pray for the family.mother take courage
and God will see u through.Am from the north east.
Carma!!! Wat goes around comes around. I don’t kno these guys but if wateva that were doin was true they deserve it. If they were doing good they would reap happiness, if they were doing evil they would reap evil period. U see we’re tooo americanise. We feel we too gangster and nothing cannot happen to us. Well here goes. Anyway all de best to the mother of those boys and accept my sympathy.
to all their baby mamas who were abused by these mother#&**s may peace be with you
ladies thim to get real men and move on with their lives. to their mom blame no one but your self.
u live bye the gun,u die bye the gun…that’s how it has been…………..WAT U PUT OUT INTO THIS WORLD COMES BACK TOO YOU..AM SORRY BUT THAT’S HOW LIFE IS………..
Esola Esola Esola a mapee i had for you wi when i come to DA for carnival! but i saw your pic and started crying, all these great memories came back……I know you were a great person dispite what everybody else has to say! Jo was also a great friend and uncle may you guys rest in peace!
Ma ursuline hold tight
This is very sad. No mother should have to bury their child, no matter if they were good or bad.
There are some saying that they deserved it. Lets just stop and ask ourselves, what would we do if our sons were to take on a life of crime. Would we ignore and pretend all was well. Would we show disgust and show them the door. I worry about my son and he would never think of living a life of crime (he has me to answer to), and that was not how he was raised. I worry becasue there is always someone out there who does not respect their life or anyone elses. My son doesnot even live in Dominica, so we parents worry no matter where our children are.
We are living in a world where young men are thinking that they can take what they want, when they want and blow the consequences. It is up to us as parents to nurture and guide them.
So lets not celebrate and dance on the Remy’s graves, or the graves of anyone we dont like.
AND THE MOTHER CAUSE A MOTHER TO HAVE TO BURY HER CHILD FOR ONLY GOD THAT KNOWS I HOPE HE WATCHES OVER ALL OF US
Two brothers souls a gone,left to morn is huge in numbers.How many are rejocing,how many are praying?We are the world ,they are our children,Our children mistake are our problems.Remember we all are sinner in this world.killed by a weapon is the same way the touge in our mouth do the same killing.watch what we say in times like these.both parties need prayer and support Stop it,lets start finding solution to help OUR CHILDREN. We make up the government.So we got power. Community need to act. in love and unity,not bringing down but building up each other.
Hi to the person who expresses her thoughts and gave a word of advice you are sure right about this msg. I’m thinking of this senseless killing just as you put it into concept.
God will continue blessing you and your family….
Eursuline, God be with you in this time of sorrow & morning of your two sons, regardless of the circumstances God will let you pull through it.. you’re are traveling on some rough paths but you will be returning back on some smooth paths it may take sometime but dont give up there is hope.
I’m a Dominican born resides in the VI …….J C
I am from the Grandbay community and i am not ashamed of who I am. Some people make bad choices, it is very easy for spirits to enter us once we give permission and so they control us if we are not strong enough to fight them. I sympathize with the mohter of these young men and hope that others will take the opportunity to change.
Tell me if sumbody care I want wen I reach Dominica for one of ayou to cum say none of this bs to my face and see if I dnt snd ayou and meet them express play wit me
i guess like brother like sister oh well
girl hush ur stupid behind…is u dat shuda get d bullet in ur face..u will very well come and bury them doh..they do enough to ppl now all u doh want ppl to saay nothing…where were you eh ?!!!!!!where were u when they were terrozing ppl? ..toute bad boy kah trouvert mete yo! i just feeling sorry for whoever kill them …
@Eddina Jame :Child chill. You know what your brothers were doing, so you cant expect ppl to feel sorry for them. They were acting the fool and terrorizing the whole community, DA and St Thomas. Dont be pissed at the world cause you could not stand up to your brothers and tell them to change their lives. They left St Thomas after killing folks and come down to the same area where these ppl family live and still act the fool. They got what they deserved. If they were atleast trying to help the community and behave they could get some sympathy. Oh well, now your family will feel what they have been doing to other families. Peace!!
PUT WATER IN UR WINE WHEN U DRINKING IT GIRL.U already on radar in st thomas.U better start mending ur lil hoochie ways before u go meet them because of some illness u get.
Hold your head up girl and stay off DNO because many people who leave comments on here are either retarded or illiterate. They were your brothers and you loved them. Don’t waste your time on these people. Isola and Josiah are dead I hope Gbay and DOminica become a better place. Please. Now they have to worry about the two murderers walking the streets. Anyways take care of yourself and my condolences to your family.
Hatred and Murder are all sins God see them all in the same way
@Eddine I wish you would choose this opportunity to remember your brothers
and look out for your family stop the nonesence I know is the anger talking.
u must not say u hate them it could be u if u dont have nothing to say
shut up
Its sad to lose two sons at once, no matter who is wrong or who is right, its a sad case, and now the family of the guys are looking to pursue their case with supernatural powers (voodoo) all involved beware!! That’s all I can say. what goes up must come down. AS ONE GONE A NEXT ONE BORN!!
u sure u know wat u talkin about? u need help!!!
DON! It will take me all day or some time to read those 461 comments which I would love to read. Later!
Someone commented that the/she did not know that people had that time on Christmas Day to read the article and to comment. There are people who are home on Christmas Day. Some are busy cooking, especially the mothers and wives while some of the daughters and sons may not be doing much. There are others who are invited out and did not have to prepare a Christmas meal. Therefore, they could have time to access the Internet. I do not view this as surprising. It is a simple and easy matter to access the Internet if one has a computer system in their home. I could easily do this at any time of day or night if I am indoors even though I am busy. This is what we say, “taking time out” to know what is occurring in especially Dominica.
At this time I have some things to do and then to go out but I am taking time to read DON.
Having stated that I am shocked and saddened that yet two brothers were murdered on Christmas Day (?) What can I say about that?
If those people would worship God and practice the faith as they should and sincerely, they would not murder.
Those who kill will not only be dealt with by the Law of the land as in Dominica but God will deal with them in His own time.
My heartfelt sympathy to their family and friends who are mourning their loss.
If we wish to live a happy and peaceful life, it is better to do good than to do evil.
The government also needs to reach out to every villager and educate people if it expects the country to be free of such crimes and murders and to eradicate same. I do have confidence that it could be done for especially a small country.
Teach the children well from youth, parents, church, government and schools. All are equally responsible. All are to cooperate if they want a good and safe society.
May God bless them accordingly.
every post u put u always refer to D.N.O as D.O.N,,,i refuse to believe its a mistake,,,or is it a trademark lol,,,,
what a man sow so shall he reap…..
men some of u ppl are so ridiculous. flash back!!!! who died: isolah n josiah
when : christmas how: shot what the … does tht have to do with wet fet can u ppl just b real for a sec oh my gosh man. coming up tlkin bout wet fet n when they was in primary school n how much things tht happen de puis anne’ canal jah man. men waht u reap tht wat u sow to every action there is a reaction. thts just a wake up call for u guys watch the way u live ur life. thats a precious gift tht the heavenly father has blessed us with dnt waste it n cling on to wrong doings like i say karma is alive. u dnt blive in it. hmmmmmmmmmm.
open y’all eyes n smell the coffee. in tht fantasy world u all r living pinch urself n come back to reality cause some of u comments r so dumb.
who ask u
I CHECKING.HOW MUCH THEY PAYING DEM TO SAY ALL DATT..
Never knew people had soo much time on the holidays to log onto DNO and comment and comment… hmmm diaspora comments making sparks… Was there no ham and turkey for you guys this year??? Im so sorry… … In Dominica we had plenty.. next time come home, we have enough to share
stupes…we have ham , turkey ,black cake ,peanut punch .but we still want to no whats going on in dominica wether it is good or bad…we love dominica.
Sad to say but I can’t see anything changing in 2011
We need more jobs to occupy people’s time
Somebody tell bill gates open something d/ca nuh
Y CANT U CREATE UR OWN JOB LIKE OTHER PEOPLE DO ? ALL U LAZY ASS PEOPLE TO LIKE TO DEPEND ON GOVERNMENT TO DO THINGS FOR U ALL.
Speak and write about this. Primarily, they need the blessing and grace of God. If they do not practice the faith and genuinely so, they are also lacking in mortal (moral) and spiritual enlightenment and perfection. When are some of you people going to comprehend this?
God is giving you signs as always, the whys and wherefores, the reason why all these things occur and you fail to recognize it. We need to live godly lives. Pray to HIm for godly inspiration.
some of u ppl trying to find all excuses for those boys behavior.
we all are being faced with situations where we have to make our decisions. they r not the only ppl who didnt have a good family structure. we all must be held accountable for our wrong doings.
it dnt feel sorry for either one of them it only hurts tht more children are going to b raised without a father without the father structure n thts where it get bad. am not saying tht ppl has the right to just take others life but what goes around comes aronud we hear it in songs every where. the world is a cycle what u sow thts wat u reap. karma is alive ppl n its real so some of making excuses for these boys ridiculous behavior stop.
why u dnt take ur opinion and shub it where the sun dnt shine
Eddine u a being very ignorant telling that person to shove it where the sun don’t shine, these folks a telling u how they feel I’m sure some of them live in the same community as ur brothers. Some feared for their lives not knowing what could happen to their families. I know they were ur brothers and u loved them unconditionally but ur brothers terrorized the lives of the people around them, remember what u sow u shall reap, and they definitely didn’t sow good seeds. God always has his ways of doing things so maybe this was his way of putting a stop to that ungodly lifestyle that Isola nd Josiah lived. I know wen u read my comment the first word out ur mouth will be (this bitch) ur brothers made a conscious choice to live Crazy lifestyles. Hope u nd Raisa learn from their mistakes to be able to make better choices. God never gives us too much to bear always remember
Frustration have nothing to do with this u build a house on sand and one on rock which is goin to stand love is the key to good life
I would like to clarify the name of the deceased. Romaih Esola Remy. (Just saying)
ADMIN
Thanks
rip swat and joe even doe all you was bad but no one deserves wat did all u
thank u very much this comment i understand
thanks to PROTECTIVE…..LAW for letting the public know who these guys were n it’s true ppl may hate u for saying this(ONLY THE IGNORANT) but i’d prefer hear it from someone who knew them than making assumptions blaming dominica hardship like some of them.(hardship my a$$) and i believe u cause i live in st Croix n my dad got a call n he was told that they were in st. Thomas and few of the same ting u said were mentioned. they maybe did all there crime ova deh tinking that they can get away with it, going dca n do the same thing. THE TING IS SOME OF US migrate to other countries esp. the US territories our heads n minds get blown up by the things we see not forgetting the negative trends n ppl. is ppl like these guys when they go back to there country they want to play heavy and play bad. sooo there we go again. as the universal saying goes….
YOU LIVE BY THE GUN U DIE BY THE GUN.
sorry there lives had to be taken away fr them but who knows? whoever did this surely cud not take n e more of them and the stupid acts they committed in the past.
go to hell
they did not deserve to die but the people they killed deserve to die. so thats how it is
UR FOOL…….GO AND WAKE THEM UP NOW NUH…..TEBER
shut the f up
Mothers please pray for your children, pray without stoping.
WAIT!!!!!
I THOUGH THOSE APOSTATE PASTORS DECLARED IN THE HOOPLA IN SEPTEMBER THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE MURDERS IN THIS COUNTRY. THIS PROVES THAT GOD IS NOT IN THESE MEN OF FALSEHOOD.

shut up
With disgust I condemn the killing that has taken place in my beautiful Country, my home village of Grand Bay. I will say these, none of us; as individual is immune from crime. We are all victims in this sad situation. whatever you may have thought of the brothers, who lost thier lives, we all have our cross to carry. I do not condone their life styles, and as the old saying goes, how you make your bed, thats the way you are going to sleep in it.
For those who are trying to isolate it as a Grand Bay problem, I say to you look over your shoulders. Le` bab kanmawad ou pwi diffe’ pwan glo wouze sa’w.
It was July 12, 2006. On November 1st 2005, during raid by police in Grand Bay, members the Drug Squad of the Commonwealth of Dominic Police force, Hilarion Baron, was killed by the police.
Along came a true son of the soil, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Dr. Peter K. B. St. Jean, Who conducted a survey which provided the leaders of this country with a road map of how to deal with the problem of crime in Dominica as a whole.
The Community policing program was started at Grand Bay; which saw a significant reduction in crime in the village even though the program was only 47% implemented; yet it yielded over 60% of its expected sign of progress. Serious crime in Grand Bay had declined by about 26% while residents had also expressed increased willingness to intervene informally and report crimes to the police.
However, by the year 2000, the Grand Bay Community Policing Program was discontinued. Now, tell me when Government comes and talk tough on crime, yet a program that was design to help us to deal with a situation, we can’t seems to find money to fund a program that is so vital to law and order in our country.
I asked the question, what is our policy on crime in Dominica? We have folks committing crime in other Countries, and they ran to Dominica, why don’t we have a policy in place to track these folks down and send them back to face justice? Or better yet why don’t we have a system in place to keep monitoring these high risk individuals so they do not commit violent crimes in Dominica? Dominicans need to know, what the Government position on crime, in Dominica is. Mr. Weeks says crime is down.
To all those who assisted in the death of Josiah and Isola. I hope u all will assist the young man family financially.
why? Were they assisting their own family to begin with??????????????
we will for sure
Many people are heartless. They have no feelings for the pain that mothers suffer when they lose their children in situations like what happeened to Isolah and Josiah remy. Can you imagine the pain the mother is going through by being presented with such a devasting gift on Christmas day?
Put yourselves in her shoes and see how you would feel to see that your two sons were murdered on Christmas day.
A wrong must not be used to correct a wrong. And all those who are rejoicing are not humans they are animals. I pray for the souls of the departed and I pray that the mother find strength and support to cope with her greif and sufferring.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U
How about you put yourself in the shoes of the other mothers that these boys gave such a loss. They wont have their kids for Christmas either. Think about both sides when you make these comments.
but who ask him to go n kill dem guys? he did not know he had a baby n child to take care of? y didn’t he go n lie by his baby instead of goin n kill dem boys? justice wil prevail
aye doe matter wat the media says after i make dis comment it wont stop me…………r.i.p swatty and joe.this aint over it will be taken care of………man cyah disrespect de spot like dat………..
thank u whoever u are
yea man it coming no one knows as long as swatty and joe didnt die none of them ppl that sayin thisand sayin that couldnt talk murder is murder dont try to make it look as if swat and joe had all the rightto be murdered see so much ting other pl did and they stil at large living kiler who are living in gbay together witthose hungry ones athat jus making comment but the block was direspected so dont worry jus see
U all a too idle maybe if u had jobs u would not have time to commit these henous acts. Kneel down nd pray to ask God to better ur lives wat u sow u shall reap, remember god is always awake
U fool u act like u ain’t got no sense, u need to chill cause u might very well be the next, so my advice to u is give up that lifestyle and go seek GOD.
Am not happy nor am I sad
G/Bay is a political hotbed where the police cannot do their jobs even if they want to. When police do their job they are transferred, made to look bad in the media and even forced to resign. Let the people of G/Bay solve their own damn problems. Now sheet happens everybody calling for the police? Them police do right to stay away. Hail Mary Full Of Grace…………..
u sound jus like your name your karkabeff.when u dont have nothing to say shut your mouth.not only grand bay need police,your hatter.
I totally agree
U need to shut the he’ll up, it’s not only G/BAY that needs the police, crimes a committed in other parishes as well u can tell wit ur stupid comment that u a close minded
swatt was a good friend to me and my child. even if he had his ways, its so sad to hear the sad news?????????????????????? R. I. P. well joe its so said u left your 3 daughters and ur only son. R.I. P dad and uncle swatt.
cant wait to meet u
Right this minute I’m almost ashamed to be from Grandbay because it is appalling to see people rejoice over the death of another human being.
Everyone chooses his own path in life.
Regardless of what they did they were fathers to kids who will now grow up not knowing their father.
They were the sons of a mother who has to bury two children on the same day.
There were partners to women who now must raise their kids as single parents.
It is very sad that its only when someone dies people give their honest opinions of them. Why smile with someone & why choke on your words when the person is alive and run on DNO to vent when they are dead ? Bunch of hypocrites ! Nobody is completely good and nobody is completely bad. Everyone has a bit of both!
RIP Josiah (J.R) & Isolah .
DNO…why is my comment still awaiting moderation when comments made after are already posted ?
sorry for the lost may soul rest in peace

Idk who this is but thanx I hope I get to meet u and my neice if I havent already
The lifestyle that they lived either they would end up in prison or deceased. Didn’t they remember that they had kids. Their kids should have been the ultimate reason to live a respectable lifestyle where their children would follow into their footsteps.
This sad all the way around. Someone asked this question that got me thinking: “What makes their killers better than them?” I do not know the answer to that one. This is not a Grand Bay issue. This is a Dominica issue.
It seems like “Mob Like Justice” has taken over. I’m lost for words with this one. It’s just sad. We do not have the right to take life irrespective of our feelings for each other. If life and death decisions are now based on feelings, chaos is the answer. Resist the urge to judge and kill each other. It’s only destroying my home sweet home.
Well is not grandbay is the young people of grandbay please people let’s stop sayin is good for dem let ask god to fogive dem o no the two brother and sometime dem was good but like I say is the young people of grandbay I have are child for are grandbay boy the biggest mistake of my life he act like he runing grandbay but he can even read and write
u diud not know dat b4 u sex him make it worst u had unprotected sex wit him….fool
Hmmmm look some stupid comments while some make some good sense! So many ppl insist on not going to triple kay cuz of the organizers…and wat a pastor visioned for gbay for christmas. Who thought the killer would be who he is said to be. Things happen wen we least expect it. I didn’t have any problem wit the remy brothers. But I guess it takes a real big ass to kill quote and quote two brothers who killed and live reckless life. I feel for anythin that happen in my community. They just makin everyone in gbay get a bad name. And I personally think if a gbay man gets a prblem out of gbay they wounldnt waste tym to put him down. The situation depressing !
one child tatia next myalian harriet olivia, ursuliah kisg, ishola, jushua, king, souat, swat, kigh

u’re so heartless
Isolah you were my first love and we shared our first child together at a young age, although i hated you for not looking out for your little girl ur first child…..when i saw ur pic i cried……I knew you before you turned into the gangsa lifestyle and i try to get you out of it by moving to NYC with me but u never listened…..Reading all these negative comments about you hurt my heart never knw u were so deep in dat lifestyle but now you and Jo is gone….i forgive you and your daugther has been doing fine will continue doing fine without you so may your soul rest in peace both you and Jo! RIP
What I have to say is to turn to God. How many of you prayed this morning when you woke up. How many of you prayed with your children or encouraged them to pray. How many of you asked the Lord to bless your meals. How many of you pray or pray with your children before bed. Well, from the number of children I have taken care of, not many. Everyone expects God to do something, or only pray in times of trouble, send their children to religious school so they can get best education, it’s everybody else job, but theirs. Time for a change. Those who want to leave God out of this issue, well this is the work of the devil, so you can’t. If everyone turned to God their would be peace not war. So I urge all Dominicans to start praying now and start bringing up your children to know God. Then we can have a peaceful nation. So remember to pray for D/ca tonight, and for the rest of your life…PRAYER WORKS…this trend CAN change. We have the power – God given. Don’t expect the gov’t to make change, when the change is in every one of us. JOINTLY WE CAN DO THIS STARTING FROM NOW!
Why are so many people concerned about the fact that this happened in Grandbay? Is that what Dominica and Dominicans have come to? Instead of dealing with the issue – 2 men were murdered, the issues seems to be – Grandbay – the scene of 2 murders!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on people…. get a life, grow up, get a brains, get whatever it is you guys are lacking.
The issue here is that 2 young men lost their lives, The issue here is that these kind of violent deaths are occurring to often in little Dominica.
The issue is not about the government failing to provide work or whatever it is you guys expect them to do. From some of the comments, it appears that these two grew up in St Thomas…so let’s not blame Grandbay or Dominica for their life styles or their deaths.
Sometimes, I blame parents, because they know the kids lifestyles and fail to do something about it. I may be one of the few that would call the cops on my kid, if ever I found out that my child is living the dangerous, “gangsta”, whatever life these Dominicans call it.
So at the end of the day… if they were not products of Dominica or Grandbay, why blame the 2… their lifestyles may be the reason for their deaths, but irrespective, no one deserves to have their lives cut off just like that….
may their souls R.I.P
Well i must say that i took the opportunity to read some of the comments before posting one myself. Its a tough situation as i see people are consumed with mixed emotions and conflicting views, but let me begins by saying i understand. I’m aware that the young men hurt and affected alot of individuals in their quest for NAME or STATUS form the general public. Why they choose this path i do not know and will never know.
I also understand that the lives that were taken and the individuals who were hurt will feel an overwhelming sense of joy and will even rejoice. it is a natural reaction, humans tend to fight back when they are hurt or pressed down especially when justice was never received, so trust me i understand. The only thing i don’t get is when we take the law into our own hands. when we choose to fight back that way we put ourselves in the same category with the bad ones. we become the very thing we hate. so allow me to give the word of advice. there is justice in God. He works in mysterious way n the good thing about his work is that when he is done taken care of the problem no one is confused and the is no sadness. so please sought justice from God he will not fail us.
they did all their riot in st.thomas yes, but that doesn’t make their killer any beta than them. he had no possible right to kill them. many people in st.thomas are probably rejoicing to hear that these boys are dead but then again y should a mother get trouble for her children? which is what she used to do back up there.right now she has to bury both. they both have children..an these are the ones who will be without a father.let the man with no sin cast the first stone..we all are sinners and god is the only one who has the right to take a life..yes u live by the gun so u die by it an so will his killer..they all die by it. and ppl stop bathing on grand bay like it is the only place where murders take place…murders happen in different villages in dominica..so u mean wen it happens in other villages it’s a surprise to the ppl..stop being ridiculous that shouldn’t be surprising at all. so many things happenin they are not putin it on news but as long is grand bay everybody bathing…it happens eveywhere.grand bay is my community and e all love it.. so rest in peace my boyz SWAT AND JOE
i am a 16 year girl and am lookin to become a professional nurse or a forensic scientist in da future.
i may go out to a next country to study but i will ensure dat i return to my lil country dominica to help in da hospitals or even in da crime and investigation department in da police force to help save lives of da so many innocent ppl who are being killed now a days. i pray da their families hold on strong because i have lost 2 of my family members just da same way. am jus feelin a lil sorry for swat since he hav a 1 and some months lil girl who will love to see her daddy again.
“an interested youth”, very kind words from you. Stay strong, God is looking over you. I pray that God grant you the desires of your heart and that you serve our Beloved Dominica. I say a prayer for the lil girl that Swat left behind.
Take Good Care
You are on the right track..Well said!!
STUPESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
well too bad for Swat, where is the example he was setting for his child……………as the saying goes……..you live by the gun……..etc,etc
Some people are going to be upset with what i am about to say on this topic..so if u was a friend of these ..holes..DON’T READ..The older one off the two..is the first one to blame for his brother’s death cause he set no good examples for him..living in stt for many years,we all started off as friends from Grandbay Dominica,migrated to stt for a better life and way off living..but after the first two years there was a mass change.SWAT,turned badman, fighting his own people for bolds…,the same people that would help him when he was broke or needed anything that he could not provided for himself,i guess he wanted to be the Badman of (NADAHILL).His little brother joe was the good kid,until turning into a teenager and started following big Bro with the bolds….our first bad encounter was when he wanted to fight for what was not his to begin with.we were no longer friends from that point on.i guess he thought i was like the rest that he bullied and got what he wanted cause they were scared off him.we exchange gunfire but from that point on he knew that was a tree he was not willing to climb again.anyways his bad deeds went on..taking lives from people like he was god,hurting Innocent people in violent acts on the streets of stt.shot one of my family members,and also involved in the murder of one,so do i have the right to be happy that his was cut short?well u let me know..at one point in my life i was planing on taking him out myself,but i have grown up,and instead protect people’s life with my own, from other manics like him.i am speaking on this matter not only because i knew the nonsense that he did but the lives that was affected by it.i really wish that joe had another chance at it, for the only reason that he did not have a good role model..may their soul rest,but this has nothing to do with government,these guys was given the opportunity at a better life while others remained in Dominica to do the best with what they had.But they choose their destiny.NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES..SORRY..
I am so sorry for your lost and I understand your emotion…
All of a u is de same doh come play like u change saying deh kill your family how much people have you killed tell us.
Amen brother
Respect to u bro;i truely hope u have gotten out of satan’s path and encourage others yo do so.No matter how bad one may think he can behave by bullying others or destroying lives foolishly he’s gonna have to pay.Judgement is getting closer every day,only a coward and weak heart live such lives.
well put and well said Mr. policeman. Proud of you. I’m not from grand bay and i don’t know these guy, i was told that one of those guys they killed in St. Thomas was my relative… not that i justify any killing.
No matter how bad you think you are there is always someone “badder” than you.
Protective……Law, I understand all what you have said and I do share your point of view that they were trouble trees. However, your write up would have been complete if you had made mention of the shooter who took them out. This act does not make him any better than the two victims were. We cannot continue to send this message to our young men that it is ok to take the law into their hands every time there are trouble makers in the society. It is so much easier for us outside the kitch(the heat) to kind of indicate that they worked for it but we forget to mention that there is a young man(the shooter) presently in the kitchin. He too has children and other family members not sleeping at nights. So the question is: Was that the best decision to take their lives?
Now i tried hard to see if i could remember these boys but i couldn’t and still trying to figure it out. But i’m hoping everyone reads this because what you just said could just be it. and maybe just maybe your’re an ‘ex close friend’… I know it probably took you even more to come here and write this but letting the people know the true story behind his and others acts, is what makes you stronger, because sometimes that’s the only way we can let go and breathe. Maybe too, you are even heart broken to see him go down like this and you can’t show it but you just did and I commend you. may their souls rest. like they say we are not the one’s to judge. take care and thank you for that brief
Amen brother .I will shake ur hand on that comment.Good to know u have straighten out ur life and doing what we all travel overseas for ,the betterment of ourselves.These boys could have done the same.Grandbay would have been proud of them right now like we are proud of u.Keep ur head up Soldier,nuff respect!!!
Just give thanks to God that we may have received your message. I am number 45 thumbs up, which looks like you really do not deserve a thumbs down.
As someone said yesterday, which I commended, circumstances in our lives are the way by which God demonstrates His judgment. Unfortunately, when we are the victims, we and those who are on our sides will quickly cry out foul, bawling against the conducts and attitude of everyone we know, accusing and condemning them of wrong doings against us.
The question is: how often do we look within ourselves as we ask, where did I go wrong? I hope that most of us will consider the basic theme of your message “that we produce the fruits of the seeds we sow and nurture in Life”.
well well grand bay sendinding are message to does who think that it a save heavin for guys like ken and abel .well this is are no no dont blem d pm for that john brown just helping the police from those so call lyiny money hugry lawyers and for all those who think gangster is the to youguys has this allwrong take in this hint bad man dont sleep
Grand Bay in V.I.
I didn’t quite understand you whole message but I want to ask you a few questions:
Are you saying that vigilante justice is taking over DA?
Is there a list of people to be taken out?
If so, are you allowed to say who is next?
So if I commit a crime in the V.I and then run go to DA, are you saying that the vigilantes will come DA and take me out?
What the…………..All you big time wee boy…..zor par feb…
Remember u can’t run away from yourself,judgement will always be chasing u.
Illiterate
U are right my brother,this is a message to all gun man.Bad boys do away with the guns,they belong to SATAN’s disciple.
Dominica is a lawless country.. Even pm saying no one or anything can move him.. Shows you the steps from the top.. No one has the right to kill anyone. Accept my sympathy bro
You political A Holes are so stupid that you place everything on the P.M. You you cannot satisfy you woman, blame skerrit. Get your UWP sh*t together and present an alternative to solve the situation instead beating a dead horse. You stupid comments lark vision.
No political party is presenting any solutions. So instead of talking about revolution, democrary and governance, present and alternative. They crap of the 70s will not work in this new dispensation.
If your party was in government and the situation was like this who would you blame?
A country with an evil or lawless leader will trickle down on the nation,remember the story of king Saul in the bible.
Agreed, lawless, laughable and a banana republic that is corrupt to the core. A country where murders get freed by a corrupt justice system. Oh my poor country – one once envied by other carribean nationals. Reading the comments, illiteracy is also a problem.
What Justice?
The country is not lawless. In case you guys have forgotten we have one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Crimes will always be committed no matter what government of prime minister you put there so why is everyone blaming the government of the day for the problems of the state. People are claiming that more jobs need to be created but how can you create jobs for people who are not willing to work. Some young men get opportunities to earn a dollar and still they prefer sitting on the side of the road earning the drug money. Then they turn around and blame the system.
i agree with u!! if we want change in our country it needs to come from the top. if the ppl at the top can break the laws and get away with it i can do it too.
Those boy did not have a loving and good parenthood foundation this is what we perent need to do especially our boys we need to love them kiss because these boys have lady in there life now kid also but at the same time at heart they were not happy children so all we need to do is lets pray for the children JUDGE NOW….!!!!!
A wa u know bout it? And all u illiterates out there learn to read and write before putting up comments.
I know what you are trying to say. But Love is a disciplining and training of the mind, which enhance this mind to process and produce attitude and conducts that demonstrate the nature of God through us; for God is Love and Love is Life in us by faith in Jesus Christ. By our faith, God gives the wisdom and understanding that we need to pass His ways of Love to our children, and all of those who do not have it, for that matter.
Hugs and kisses is human affection–a emotion controlled by the flesh–that manifest in us today, but is gone tomorrow. That treatment does make our children to be good men and women of tomorrow.
dont blem the young men… blem the frustration that we are placed under..I always say, you frustrate young people that are already stressed out you must get violence or crimal activities.
Why is it people succum to gunshot wounds very frequently in dominica..we need some good medical facilities..I’m curious to know what part of the body was the entry point of the bullet?
the bullet went into his stomach when he was fighting to take off the mask from the gunman.
stop watching CSI and tryna play agent. where the bullet enter the body is of no significance. Jah ready for dem so called thugs!
The medical facilities that the PM would love to have put in, is being rejected and frowned upon by nationals…. I pose the same question all the time to others…and its not just GSW..any trauma or any serious ailment… no one makes it out alive from PMH…
SO RIGHT NOW IS PMH THAT KILL THEM FOOL ?
That is for all Dominican plesae in the name of god ,i begging all of us stop puting curse on our country with our mouth, because the devil is very happy when we doing
that.
We a placing curse on each other by the things we say throught hate .
And the funny thing is that the same mouth we usin to say we need to pray is the same one we using to same the evil things to each other, and we know we cant have two master.
starting today let us reflect on our wrong doing please.
I hope for the sake of our Dominica and her humble people, that everyone of us will take heed to your plead. That is a true lamentation for our country and her people; as Satan continues to manipulate the minds of the proud, haughty, arrogants, and especially those who are foolishly, ignorant.
We fail to realize that he–Satan–is having a ball, watching us attempting to destroy our lives and that of our loved ones in Dominica. But faith and trust in God Almighty is my witness, as I command Satan, in the name of Jesus Christ, to leave my country and her people alone, and to accept his defeat.
People of Dominica, Satan cannot win over God’s authority, regardless if he is working through the most powerful person there. Believe that he has already been defeated as Jesus said: “I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD”–meaning its system of evil and wickedness Those of you Dominicans, at home and abroad, who are thinking differently through your negative attitude, try to get that Truth into your empty minds! And strive for Life in your own soul!
It amazes me to see how much interest this story has generated,it has a record brakin number of commments. Are you people really serious, Why is these kinda of stories get so popular, yes people GRAND BAY AGAIN AGAIN,is it because is Grand bay again this story has generated such interest???????? hmm. there are more important stories tht apear on DNO, you Dominicans need to take time out to read. Gbay ppl ask urself questions, it is every year ur community has to make news with drug and crimes. Back to the story @ point, i understand those brothers were on bail and still comitted a record number of crime, what has the police to say on thtat matter. Why were they even out??????? Innocent people are the ones always caught up.
WHY ARE YOU ASKING THE POLICE TO SAY SOMETHING ON THIS MATTER? ARE THE POLICE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM BEING OUT ON BAIL?
I AM NOT CONDONING SUCH BEHAVIOR BUT WHAT I’M SAYING IS THAT WE ARE HUNGRY,TIRED,AND FRUSTRATED THIS IS BOTH A WAKE UP CALL AND A REMINDER THAT THE YOUTH ARE THE FUTURE AND WE NEED TO START DEVELOPING OUR COUNTRY WITH THEM FIRST SOME PROGRAMS SHOULD BE INITIATED TO TAKE OUR YOUTH OF THE STREETS AND EDUCATE THEM OR TRAIN THEM IN VARIOUS SKILLS SO THEY CAN HAVE A CHANCE AT A DECENT LIFE AND HAVE A JOB LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I MEAN IN THE WORDS OF THE LATE GREAT MR DOUGLAS ALL SHALL EAT THAT WOULD GO A LONG WAY IF WE DON’T DO SOMETHING SOON IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS OUR POPULATION WILL BE MADE UP OF SENIOR CITIZENS AND THERE IS NO FUTURE IN THAT I AM CALLING ON OUR LEADERS PLEASE HELP US AND BROTHER SKERRIT I FEEL YOUR PAIN BUT WE NEED HELP AND WE NEED TO WORK TWICE AS HARD CAUSE THERE IS NO NIGHT IN A ZION THERE IS NO NIGHT THERE HALLELUJAH THERE IS NO NIGHT THERE ………………BLESSED
Yes they may have been village riots and trouble makers but where is the justification coming from for the murderer to kill them. what makes the new killer different now?
God has a purpose for everyone and perhaps he had other means of taking them from the earth. Why should another human being play God. Sorry all sin is sin. The murder is not blameless in God’s eyes.
God has nothing to do with such acts. The ten commandments says thou shalt not killl. God is not going to change his mind when a “bad” person is killed.
Amen my sister. I feel better knowing that we still have some right thinking individuals posting comments on DNO.
STUPESSSSSSSSSS
If u did what these guys have done i’m pretty sure u wouldn’t be liked not one bit.And what makes the killer different is his life was in danger.These guys were looking for him to kill him.Remember they had just been released from police custody that same day after beating up a criplled man who has only one hand which he cannot even do much with.U cannot hold a village hostage wit ur badness.
Amy Girl, when there is a prison escapee who is a murderer in your community, don’t you feel
scared?
That’s is how many people feel when there are lots of bad eggs loose in the communities
and feel relieve when they are no more a threat to them.
i agree
please my people of Grand Bay, let us forget who is wrong and right and come together as one people to help our young men and weman in our community.
As we all know we have alot of young mothers in our community,as we know some of them are still children them self.
And they are the one giving birth to children,some of our problem is because for that, so we need to come together and work with them before it is too late.
We as mothers in Grand Bay we like to blame other people when our children going the wrong way, and we like to say to our children my neighbour put evil on you, so our children taking that as the ticket to do the wrong things.plesae starting today let us reflect on where we went wrong.
Between November 2009 and Febuary 2010 i spent some time in G/Bay and first reflection on arrival there and commented to some colleagues there was that this village needs a spiritual cleansing because of what i saw on arrival, that’s sad.
The sadest thing is this may happen again because of the amount of hardware in Dominica. U don’t see or hear of police donig any spot checks or surprise runs to eradicate illegal hardware but just scream or wihisper marijuana and they get busy searching to eradicate it – always too busy doing that. They know and hear of all the people who have the illegal hardware, trust me, that’s the problem and ‘The sad thing’.
Get your heads out of your arseeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss. Why be an idiot about the situation? Take a look at your lives! Rejoice over death is never wise because you never know when your number is up! or when someone in your family number is up! People have many skeletons in their backyard and in their closet, it only takes one incident to see who they really are!
Only low lives hide behind names to say terrible things about people.
RIP boys: Freedom from distorted uneducated people here on earth and a better life on the other side!
OH SHUT UP…..
The Next Level is Here – 18-3 – Go Dominica!
Is this a score? HELP!!!HELP!!
Politically ignorant
People like you are the one who make Dominica how it is right now. Damn ignorant fool.
Swat and Joe you all were talented youts good at running basketball swimming and so much more, you all could be whatever you wanted to be but that’s the life you choose. I cried for you all because I know the people before you all became these nototious murderers gangstars whatever people say you all are. One thing i can say for sure you all caught a lot of heat in St Thomas for these so call friends from Grandbay you all tried to help who turned on you all that’s why am not surprised you so called friends run away and left you all to die alone. I always wondered why you had to protect everyone but that was your nature you could not see people taken advantage off. I can’t rewind the world no one can I will always look out for you all kids praying they don’t go down the same path R.I.P
Swat and Joe did alot in V.I for the so called friend, have anyb ody think of the reasons for all the stuff they did. dudes he helped turned guns on him, betrayed him and his brother. At theend of the day he brother was the only one who have his back. all the ignorant people out there rejoicing because they got killed what are you guy going to do when it’s your head someone is out for.and all the cowards in st thomas talking shit right now u know who u are if they were not dead u punks would not have no words to utter just wishes. RIP SWAT & JOE
So if you think they were so kind and could not stand to see anyone taken advantage of, why dont you want their kids to go down the same paths? seems to me they are martyrs and heroes if they we defenders of the disadvantaged…. you know better….
G/bay is not the only pplace things happening let’s not rejoice its just a few people giving the place a bad name
r.i.p. god bless
OH LORD! WE NEED A YOUTH QUAKE TO SHAKE THE NATION
SEND IT LORD ON THIS GENERATION, TURN US LORD INSIDE OUT FOR YOU.
COME ON STRONG NO RESERVE I SAY… RUMBLE TUMBLE LIKE JUDGMENT DAY.
SHAKE. SHAKE. SHAKE I SAY.
we are realy moving to the next level
this next level should have been employment not crime what do we dominican think ?
i am hurting as a young dominican Male
We can all make a change
A prayer for Da is needed now i mean now
have you ever hear the saying,the evil that men do live with them. in this case the evil die with them. if you sow murder you will reap murder. in this case, these two guys sow murder thats why they are dead. normaly people say R.I.P but there is no peace for these two.
AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
the police in DA are cowards. All they after is the ganja man plantation. Why aren’t they raiding those so called trouble makers homes to check for guns.Grandbay is not that big. Don’t these badmen ever go to sleep? I worked with both guys at Plaza Extra when i lived on St Thomas. They were in school then. It is sad to hear how they end up.My heart goes out to their mom. because no mother should have to bury a child. But if that is the path they chose they cannot expect a better outcome.We need to pray for our children.All the time.
G/Bay is a political hotbed where the police cannot do their jobs even if they want to. When police do their job they are transferred, made to look bad in the media and even forced to resign. Let the people of G/Bay solve their own damn problems. Now sheet happens everybody calling for the police? Them police do right to stay away.
sorry to hear what happened but the mom is not to be blame for any of this she brought her kids into this world she raise them how she can but she does not have their mind
In DA there is just a big drug problem not today,The Dealers are just more desperate and take in the drugs themselves…..They got there guns now and figure they got the power to kill when they are dissatisfied..with anything.The problem was there long ago…. it starts at a young age. no start blaming each other for what happens.
Until we reach the magic figure of 18, it will not stop. Good luck my friends and may God be with you all.
ignorance is BLISS!
whose target is this anyway!
God forgive me for what I’m about to write “may you be number 14 and those who entice you to do so follow to complete the 18th spot.” My condelences let me know where I should send the wreath so you can see it before you depart …………….
I knew Isolah since primary school and it’s always a blow when someone you know dies..I don’t know what kind of life the both of them lived but the village of Grand bay is not to be blamed for everything..Look at all the crime and violence that kids are exposed to these days!!!They living what they seeing. Some people seem to be happy when something goes wrong in GrandBay..Although I’m use to it,it is so sickening to read.We are all Dominicans..What if some outsider start saying “Dominica again”.How would you feel?..People,stop judging one another..It is happening in your country..The village of Grandbay isn’t an island by itself..It is a part of the same country..Pray for your country don’t bring it’s people down because in the process you bringing yourself down..Everybody,get up and start doing something positive instead of playing the blame game..
R I P Joe N Swat
The St. Aromant fire at G.O.N.E Emanuel is suspicious and rather funny. Our Police need to be meticulous with their investigations. It is hoped that the investigations will be thorough and begin with the complainant and victims. Among the several questions to be answered are:- Was that vehicle in proper working condition prior to the incident? Is the owner having sleepless nights? Was he at any midnight mass? Why attack his vehicle and not himself? Was there a breaking in or a breaking out? Police, do a proper job please>
all i have to say is, we all need to repent the day are numbed the end is near , lets come together as one
Well is Grandbay! No one is surprised. I wonder what jeelle santi of the south have to say about that.
lmao
The words that come out of your mouth just now just make your mouth smell more!!!!
you seem to forget that a lot of people have uncovered your metal curtains and found out who you are!… IDIOT!…un moune kay paytay bonda’w
Oh Please, give me a break. What do you mean no one is surprised since its Grand Bay. Did you read the above post carefully? Or more specifically can you read? Not every crime happens in Grand Bay. Stop being so narrow minded and use your mind to come up with solutions to help our country. For example, the woman who killed both of her kids was she from Grand Bay? No. She wasn’t. Does that mean it was surprising to you since it wasn’t Grand Bay? I do not condone any violence whether its in capuchin or Roseau or Grand Bay. If you do not have any meaningful comment to make, read and move on. Do not post. Because by making such idiotic comments you are only adding to the problem, not helping.
Its not just Grand Bay, Read on and comprehend. Think before you Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

All MOTS encouraged you to do is stop bogaring. And from his or her writings I don’t think he or she is from Granbay, so just stop. You seem to be losing your heart on this sad occasion when most are calling for all to stop violence.
Grandbay is not the problem, you are part of the problem , if you know what I mean. You are laughing in God’s face. That is why we are facing these problems.
@gaynproud Oh stfu is not in grandbay alone those things dere does happen just know your position

Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
1Then I said, “Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel.Should you not know justice,
2 You who hate good and love evil:;who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones;
3 Who eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?”
4Then they will cry out to the Lord, but he will not answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them because of the evil they have done.
5This is what the Lord says: As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them,
they proclaim ‘peace’; if he does not, they prepare to wage war against him.
6Therefore night will come over you, without visions, and darkness, without divination. The sun will set for the prophets, and the day will go dark for them.
7The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced. They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from God.”
So sad to hear.
It’s a pity – this is the next level that we have reached.
gangsta life
ID10T life!
As usual fingers are being pointed everywhere!! Everywhere but where they should be pointed at!! LEGAL REFORM is needed in DOMINICA!! Our current laws are the Updated Laws of 1992!!! This is 2010 and the level of crime is escalating!! The impunity with which these individuals act in Dominica right now has passed the point of serious concern!! It is time for us to rally, protest, use the radio stations, internet, newspapers and the best of all, our GOSSIP TIME to place pressure on those responsible for drawing-up, implementing/enforcing the laws of this country. Who governs this country??? WE the people on the ground do!! WE have the power to get the job done buy forcing our leaders to do their jobs!!! Where is the Minister for NATIONAL SECURITY!!! When gunshot victims are succumbing left and right to their wounds, and perpetrators walk freely among us this a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY!!!. Who is calling for the police to get better investigative training, who is calling for updated equipment for the police, who is calling for communities to start COMMUNITY WATCH PROGRAMMES!! Who is demanding for the government to protect the PEOPLE of Dominica?? I am not interested in Labour Party issues or Skerritt issues, I am interested in WHO IS GOING TO CHANGE THE LAWS OF DOMINICA and WHEN ARE DOMINICANS GOING TO WORK TOGETHER FOR A BETTER DOMINICA?????
The law they put there will be there for every one.Do u know how is in the lock-up or prison???Ok let the big-shot whose son shot the post-man tell u about it.the conditions his son had to endure.U would be crying for the laws to bend to save your son just like him. what u wish for US will be there for u.
As you say taht there Copeh Lapeh and Copeh Tig will even attack you on their programme…My friend Dominica is a failed, lawless state..The leadership of the country is sick,and the rest of the country is naturally sick..Check how the police behavefor example..Just to protect Skerrit and his boys..Nothing more Nothing less..THE MINISTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY IS CALLING FOR THE BOYCOTT OF A LEGAL BUSINESS PLACE ON ISLAND INSTEAD OF DOING HIS REAL WORK.!!!
Well some of what u said is true but even if u have laws what can that do for the hoodloom some of our kid a astray and i dont think any law of minister can do anything for them..Yea u may update the police equiptment and the government can implement as many laws as they can but unless the mothers and fathers educate their kid is all ways i dont think any minister can do anything…Maybe what we should be asking for is for those incharge to try and curb the amount of guns coming into the country. Growing up in a village in dominica only the old men who hunt had guns and kids back then were not even interested in guns but now our borders a open to all and all kinds and that where i think we have the problem. When these victims killed in other countries no body blamed the government but when they get killed in their own country we all try blaming out government. Why is that? Why when our kids get scholarships and become lawyers and doctors etc we dont give the credit to the government and ministers? Why is it only when they commit crimes that we blame them? Please no matter how many laws is now put into place these bad eggs will still be bad cause they are already bad. What we as a community need to do now is to educate the younger ones and begining with the parents…..
WELL SAID…..EDUCATE THE IGNORANT FOOLS THAT ALL THEY WANNA DO IS BLAME THE GOVERNMENT.
This country is getting worse from all angles. From the politians, the police, the justice system, the churches, just name them. Only GOD can bring this place back to where it belong. I will not be surprise that the alleged shooter will be on bail very soon. What a country!!!!!
“This country is getting worse from all angles”” I hope you NEVER!! return back or visit again with comments like that…So you saying only God can stop crime in Dominica?… Then maybe you should let him finance your livelihood and don’t go to work again…Yeah God will solve all the problems of the world.. WOW!!!
You are right..I am thinking just the same..The shooter will be out by early January,based on the trend we have seen in the past..THIS IS WHAT THEY MEANT BY NEXT LEVEL..
we are now in the last days now its time to prepare for the return of Christ…….
as a christian i have prayed for my nation and its people i have faith that god will remove the
demands of violence and replace them with angels armed to the teeth ready to protect
our nation
God is good………….the god in the day is also god in the night
I believe that “concerned youth” meant to say: “demons of violence”. And I would hope that we could learn to write the name, in reference to our creator, with a capital with a capital “G” “God” which is one other attitude of reverence pointing to His nature of Holiness, Love. and Truth. There are all sorts of “gods” in this world which are the complete opposite of Holiness, Love, and Truth
Nonetheless, concerned youth, you have a great point.
what harpens in grandbay stays in grandbay…we already no what going .
MORE IGNORANCE AGAIN !!!
DON’T BE SO IGNORANT
LET THE MAN WITH NO SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE….Ppl ppl ppl we are living in the last days cause we are only on borrowed time in this world.I knew this guys from the time they were babies,we are not related but i can say i never had a problem with anyone of them.everybody have their people ok.i know they did alot in stt cause am living there and i know what happen in d/ca too.am not going to judge them am leaving this up to god,we can’t play god but i see that what some of u doing.god is god and he do not want to be played for a fool,but i see that what u are doing.let us leave others people business alone .you know what i can’t understand dominican i just can’t seen to get the point on DNO at all ,some ppl for u and some will be against u no matter what u do in life.they leave sarah lynn agustine after they post all kinds of comments about how she kill the kids but their were not there when it happen, now them take joe and swat.who next ppl.when i read some of the comments on there i wonder if they know what the hell they talking about.i know they have to pay for what they did to others but why can’t we leave it up to god.he forgive but u don’t.i know it is hard to forgive a man who kill ur family but do u think god will forgive u if u don’t.i hate what they did to the other ppl.let god be the judge of their lives.we are in no place to tell who going to heaven or hell.pll want to talk about swat kids, i know the kids are innocent but omg he did not rape the mothers.if u know a man got so many kids and he don’t support them why are u going to get a child by him too then ppl can post on DNO how he don’t take care of his kids. they all know that.why when ppl died u hearring all kind of tings about how good or bad they were.that is the reason why u should be given invitation to view the body.
i like that one… give them an invitation to view the body.. and for the happy hour too.
give jack his jacket and jacklyn her lipstick, DEAD OR ALIVE.
that’s one of the problem happening on Dominica today. everyone wants to turn a blind eye to the people who doing bad things and when they die or get killed want to say nice things about them.
if a mad was good on earth then the earth will have good to say about him, but if a man was bad you want the earth to stay quiet ??
buildings fall, hurricanes devastate and lightening destroys but the earth keeps turning so no matter what happens the truth is the truth and will always leave an effect on those that try to conceal it.
oh, and by the way, the bible teaches us what God expects of us and that’s the measure that a man can be judged by.
may the good lord shine his face on our nation,we all need prayers.comfort the grieving dear lord
I doe think it have a country as deep into politics as us
we are a stupid people
stop the politics and just show your sympathy
or don’t comment
R.I.P BLOOD`
Signs of the times to come. In the days of de Kay-Passa (mid 60s), life was good; every man respected de old and showed much love. We are in the mid’ of a self-destructive revolution that de drug-man is King. He represents the wishes and aspirations of many who emulates the life style and give support within. Leaders are creating an environment — it’s all good to do wrong with impunity. Sorry if I think that the lives of the young men were conducive to the current envoronment the country is now experiencing. Vigilantism is now the order and policy of the criminals who run things from top to bottom. I say fire will burn all who think that they alone can throw fire.
well i must say it is sad that everything for dominicans is a labor /workers thing.. i hope for 2011 we will realize that as a country, we are all to be blamed.. when we see fights going on, instead of throwning on it and treating all involved like the animals that they are acting like,we run and see who is fighting like is a good thing that going on and not an unfortunate situation. we hearing people cursing/swearing,making threats and we just look on with our mouths shut…you know , WE ARE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and when you and i see younger people /even older folk acting uncivilized we are to speak out against it..peacefully,but strongly and boldly speak against violence /verbal abuse/ misconduct. dont go running to see a bef and story. i urge you as an individual to take up the song ‘save a life’ for your motto in 2011. the ball is in YOUR court..
i actaully saw a fight bout two mins from the police station and everbody looking . a death cud take place so quicly. i heard the loud noise gone inside my house and call the powpow( according to madea) they cae immedaitaley made the arrest n dat was it. i aint said a word. aint going to look at death take place n then say who right n wrong after, call the police immediately .
it will continue in january, cause when dodds is out of hospital is a whole set of vengence…
Dummy they are dead how are they gonna come out from the hospital again? SMDH
LMAO!!!! yh he’s dead………… :'(
IF THATS YOUR POINT, DONT FEEL SORRY FOR HIM LATER CAUSE WHAT A MAN DOES ANOTHER MAY DO EVEN BETTER…YOU ARE ONE OF THE PROMOTERS OF HATE…..
you should not be saying that.
you dont know when you will face your own. ensure that your life is secure in christ.
who is dodds… cudnt be dead joe iight
there is not going to be any revenge it’s seems u all are encouraging him to take revenge but i encouraging him NOT too it’s useless and because he knows he have his kids to be here 4. CHANGE is all we want from him soo all who with there evil thoughts and advice can take it and leave please and i know he have a mind of his own we just hoping he do what’s right by his kids and family.
forfit if u cant say good then just shut that hole in your face
MY BREDREN SWAT, JAH KNO, WATER COME DOWN MY EYES, WHEN I SEE D PIC, LOVE
wat i getting from those comment is that people are happy that they are dead…. correct me if wrong… were they a menace to society, did they do drugs???? is it true they did a crime spree in guadeloupe and st thomas?????
dno we nedd more on their background!!!!
The condition of one’s heart will determine his/her destination when they depart this earth. Too many people seem to know everyone’s desitination when they die as if they sell them the ticket to heaven or hell. My friends, only God knows the condition of the heart when one dies. IF YOU DIE WITHOUT FORGIVENESS OF SINS you will not make it to heaven in the presence of God. No ONE KNOWS one’s last moment before death. It could well be that these guys made their peace with God with their last breath. So stop playing judge. I am not condoning the life that they lived. There is a spiritual influence over the lives of people who live like this. A spirit of murder, spirit of drugs, spirit of sexual immorality. Every evil act has a spiritual force behind it and that is where CHRISTIANS come in. Instead of looking down at the persons target the spirits that control them – they need deliverance so let the heart of compassion be in you that was in Christ and help these people.
Right now there is a spirit of murder sweeping around dominica and Christians need to put on the whole armour of God, take their positions and prepare for this spiritual battle instead of sitting around and yapping in vain. THIS IS A SPIRITUAL THING CHRISITIANS – SHAKE UP AND WAKE UP AND FIGHT. GIVE DOMINICA BACK TO GOD AND STOP WAITING FOR SKERRIT TO FIGHT THAT BATTLE FOR YOU. YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, JESUS GAVE YOU THE AUTHORITY – RISE UP AND STOP MINGLING WITH POLITICS! Appostles, pastors, evangelists, teachers, prophets put down your titles and take up your responsibilities – not by might not by power but by the spirit of GOD. RISE UP IN PRAYER and put all spiritual forces under subjection. Stop playing church in D’ca.
So sad
We show our true colours by the comments we post here. Take a look at these:
@ sout man: ” good riddance to these two and there is more to get rid off.”
This is a declaration of war !!
@ Jayne: “To their mom, let’s see you hide their souls now”
Oh, how cold; coming from another mother !!
@ Boycott Brisbane: “…well if you want those boys in Heaven, I for one don’t want to go there.”
Be careful what you ask for , my friend. You may just get your wish. First of all, your statement is somewhat blasphemous. God does not rank sinners by the number and type of sin (except for blasphemy) that they committed. God deals with sinners in a just and impartial way. All those who are forgiven will have the same fate. Those who are not forgiven will all suffer the same consequences.
When evil things happen, it brings out the worst in us. Irrespective of who these guys were, we must be sensitive and show that we are above the back-biting, gutter politics and unforgiving hearts
I extend my condolences to the family of the deceased, especially to their mom, ursuline. Jah Guide !!
Original Sout Man.
I saw u took one line from my comment and made it a declaration of war.What about the reston how the mum has been supporting and profiting from these guys illgotton gain,therefor contributing to Her boys DEMISE(Death). I am a very peacefull person but i go by history like my comment explain.All bad men in grandbay never live long NEVER!!!!!!The magnitude of what these brothers have done is what makes people like me write these comments>I will continue to write them once DNO allow me too.This is a medium where we can vent our anger and fustrationor speak positive about happenings, i chose the former,(Free Speech)that’s how i see it along with alot of my fellow grandbayrians(certainly not including u).And whoop t Doo to u for being the original Sout man.
Oh man I attended school in grand bay and there were incedents that happen as a young man and it sad to hear what’s going on because these a guys I know personally what is going on in this country I call home when I return will there be people I went to school with or will everyone will be dead or in jail wake up people Dominica is too small for all this bs
seems you guys are racing to meet St. Lucia. moving to the next level. 14 murders in one year, Lucia at 40 you still have time to be half way there
Dominicans we need to STOP all these ignorant comments and work together to build up our country. At this point criticizing and playing politics will not do anything for the nation and our beloved family who resides there.
How many of you said a prayer for all those victims and their families, the criminals AND the direction in which the nation is going? Let the change we want to see begin with us and cutting out all the negative comments on DNO is a start. Let’s us all set this as a goal for ourselves for the NEw Year.
The … dem run from where they did all their crimes and try to live in peace. U can run from your judgement. It will find u. Brawo to the shooter he only shot who was intended to be shot. There can never be law in a country when the one who is running that same country breaking the law. So everyone will feel that if the pm can do it so can I. Their family should be happy they got some extra days to spend six dem, cuz if they were still in d vi, they woulda been dead long time. He went from away to Target.
HAS THE PM KILLED ANYONE? HAS THE PM BEEN DRIVING ALL ABOUT WITH GUNS HANGING OUT OF HIS VEHICLE? HAS THE PM DONE ANY MURDERS AND ROBBERIES IN STT………..MAN SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET A LIFE UR IGNORANT FOOL.
come on DA you can do much better than that IS THIS WHAT THE NEXT GENERATION IS GOING TO BE??Come on we don’t that for 2011
Idont know what to say, I didn’t know him but Swat has a kid with my cousin. Kim don’t know how to tell Jahzion about this. She is the splitting image of her Dad. R.I.P my brother.
poor kim!! i forget all about her and my beatiful neice!!!!! smh……. hope she doing fine……. well we going thru da same greiveance.
Only Idiots come on here and say its the PM fault or Labour Fault.
Everything that goes bad in Dominica, its the PM fault, as if these guys asked fro help from him and they did not receive it.
Parents have a Responsibility to their children and community to educate them about the dangers and why doing the right thing should always be the choice.
It starts with the Parents and ends with them
Some of you say, well there is nothing for the youth to do…..OK fair point, but does it mean they should go out and commit crimes?
No…they are not starving, it is not a war zone. A person raised properly would find something more constructive to do with their time.
I do not know these guys, but from some who claim to know them, it appears they were troubled fellows.
I am not without fault but I do not get into trouble, I do not fight, I do not sell drugs, I do not rob/steal or go out harassing people and becoming a public nuisance.
Yes, I own a gun and I will use it to protect myself if I need to, but I am sure that I can attempt a resolution to a problem without firing a shot.
I have never had any reason to use it and hope I never have to, but it is there if I need to I am prepared to do what is needed.
Not everything has to be political……sometimes parents are enablers by not being serious from the time the kids are young and instilling good values in them which will aid them later in life.
A voice of reason and common sense among many.
But you do not need a gun if you live the right life.
Dominica is not about killed or be killed. It is not a war zone as you said. The youth can find something to do. I agree with the things you said…. it’s all about family. My cousins and i grew up the same way, yet, I chose to choose the way of the law and they went against it. And parenting has a lot to do with it because there came a time when our grandparents (raised by them), gave up on the ones who chose the bad path. Why, because, they did not listen – and i did. So here I am today – in a different country, successful and doing a job i love, when my cousins are in Dominica – selling drugs, refusing to work (and don’t give me that crap about there not being work)..they won’t even go to the garden and plant food for my grandmother to sell. Instead, they sit everyday outside the house and SMOKE!
And it is not about the government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lack of responsible leadership is the key, uwp, dlp, freedom pass laws to punish the people commiting senseless acts
i agree and think that it’s high time that our laws get reviewed. people don’t get $500000.oo for weed and $100000.oo or less for murder. that makes no sense. i see it more as encouragement than deterring the motive.
All Dominicans are very evil and they are reaping the fruits of their evil. There are countries that are much more crimey than Dominica but when you have a country so small with all these evil and everyone is promoting it, God save ‘small’ Dominica from ‘SCUMINICANS’.
Justice is better…….. “All Dominicans are very wicked … ” all? all? all?
There are still a few good ones!
4real!!! imma a dominican and i am bad??? chupppssss
I take it that you are not Dominican….And don’t you think it is evil of you to declare a whole nation as evil….You are really something.
I call the blood of Jesus over your words and declare them null and void In Jesus name.
you are the only evil person in Dominica.How the hell you can refer to all Dominicans as “evil”? i feel you are a bitter person,go clean your heart and tongue.you are evil…i can smell it.
This might sound mean but the world is a better place without them man. I remember swat was terrorizing a family member of mine. Trying to kill him every chance he got until he had to live St Thomas and never come back. And them man mother know all the nonsense that they were doing. Some people like myself even think she use to encourage it. They should have turn themselves in to VIPD in 2007 instead of running to Dominica, then they would have been in jail and not dead.
Totally agree, their mom definitely enabled them, I went to school wit Isola he tormented me to the point where I was so afraid of him, I thought he would change his ways but never did. When u live that kind of lifestyle ur either gonna end up being incarcerated or deceased nd that’s the life they chose
The Blame Game Goes On !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometime in December 2009, a young man named Skerrit changed the world since he became Prime Minister, here are some of the things it is alleged he has done to Dominica and the world and he is still planning some evil things for 2011.
He won 81-3 election. It is said he caused a young lady in Mahaut to kill her two kids. It is said he caused several young (school girls) to have sex and got pregnant without the knowledge of their parents. It is said he caused the Virgin Islands to record 68 murders in 2010, 58 in 2009,
It is said he caused Lawyer Emanuel’s house to be gutter. It is said he caused President Obama to negotiate with Republicans. It is said he caused a female bomber to kill 50 people while awaiting food aid in Pakistan on Christmas Day, oh, how he hates poor kids.It is said he paid an al Qaeda terrorist to bomb innocent kids on Christmas Day in Iraq, and now, It is said he caused the death of two young men in Grand Bay.
And guess what, it is said alleged he is planning to have a band of frigid weather snaking up the East Coast threatens to bring 11 to 16 inches of snow to New York City and 15 to 20 inches to New England, while slick roads in the South cause cars to flip amidst emergency storm declarations. Skerrit hates poor people who have no place to sleep, and are left in the cold.
Oh! How much more can we blame on this Skerrit guy for?
Can we not find anything to blame on ourselves, shall we not look at ourselves in the mirror and blame some things on us. Michael Jackson said the man in the mirror must change his ways, and
He has caused the Pope to talk about condom, and it is said he is now asking the Pope to zip up and wear his pants back to front and use a condom, since the Pope has claimed that he is the father of millions, so that the Pope can stop being a father.
Happy Holidays guys! Please don’t kill me for this observation.
stupes
Things does happen in Dominica now a days we

Child, learn to write properly. Reading is fundamental…..learn to spell!!!!!!!!!!!! I am amazed how illiterate some people sound. They used no punctuations, and their grammar is horrible. OMG!!
i am a dominican and had been away for three years. when i came back i was invited to grandbay by a freind and it was my first time going to that village. WHAT I WITNESSED TERRIFIED ME. i went with my freinds to this famous night club in grandbay and a fight broke out amoung young women. apart from the bottle throwing, cursing, i saw teenage boys with guns, children on the block smoking weed. respectable persons in the community risking there lives to part the fight and bottles are thrown at them. i vowed personally not to ever set foot in grandbay again and not even to have freinds from grandbay. of all the stories i heard about grandbay in the past, i have witnessed for myself and in my mind grandbay stands as the crime capital of dominica. thats what the culture of lawlessness does to a community.
What can I say? It doesn’t matter how bad a person behaves, no one should die this way. I’m seeing all kinds of stupid comments and it hurts my heart to see some d/cans behave in such hustile ways. I know they were not good angles but I’m sure the 2 boys did good in life also. Plz balance the good and bad. My heart goes out to their mom. I know. It’s hard for her especially in the coming years as it will be something she has to deal with for d rest of her life.
TODAY I CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TODAY I CRY FOR THE FALLEN YOUTH …….TOO MANY….CUT DOWN IN THEIR PRIME
TODAY I CRY FOR THE MOTHER,
THE FATHER,
THE WIFE,
THE CHILDREN,
THE FAMILY THEY LEFT BEHIND.
TODAY I CRY FOR THE OUR BELOVED DOMINICA…… AS SHE WEEPS FOR THE SPILLED BLOOD OF HER SON AND DAUGHTERS…..

YES TODAY I CRY A RIVER…………….
TODAY I CRY FOR DOMINICA AS SHE SITS IN LAMENTATION FOR HER PRIDE AND JOY —HER SONS AND DAUGHTERS—— ARE BEING SNUFFED OUT ONE AT A TIME.
OH YES…………..TODAY I CRY FOR THE “SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THIS GEM BEYOND COMPARE”
TODAY I SIT IN SILENCE AND GRIEF …………..WEEPING AND PRAYING FOR GOD’S PROTECTION ON DOMINICA FROM THE TOP OF PORTSMOUTH TO THE VERY TIP OF SCOTTS HEAD……………………….
OH LORD HEAR MY CRY!!!!!1
A FELLOW DOMINICAN
i had a grand plan to go home years end and and give a big party for my people .for having a murder free year ,now i have to cancel the party. we will try next year.one good thing about us is that our killers are a rested within 3hours.what happen my people you can,t keep a promise man,. shame.,
for all these stupid persons who have decided to rage a personal condemnation against the pm and the labour party i really feel sorry for you all
you all are behaving like beheaded sheep
havent you all realised that most of these persons who are being murdered have one time in thier life been involved in some crime or the other
so far i have not seen or heard any descent person being murdered. no one worth his salt in DA is being targeted only these renegades involved in drugdealing, money laundering, theft and murder
ask your selves the questions before posting crap on DNO
.. the world grand bay has demons and there is many more to die.and im from there?????????
We need to keep praying for our island!! Its not as bad as te other islands but slowly getting there…Our sister island St Lucia is at #47 so we need to keep God close so we don’t get worse!!
Prayer for the Nation
Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people, the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
1Then I said, “Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel.Should you not know justice,
2 You who hate good and love evil:;who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones;
3 Who eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?”
4Then they will cry out to the Lord, but he will not answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them because of the evil they have done.
5This is what the Lord says: As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them,
they proclaim ‘peace’; if he does not, they prepare to wage war against him.
6Therefore night will come over you, without visions, and darkness, without divination. The sun will set for the prophets, and the day will go dark for them.
7The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced. They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from God.”
I read all what you all had to say, i did not know these guys, or what they have done in the past, i believe in justice but taking a life is with out a doubt wrong, the shooters i can tell you the same way you killed these boys there is a 99.9999% chance that this is the same way you will meet your end… some of us know who they are and yet will not say anything so in a way u are helping bring down our country, stop being kids and open ur mouth to stop these crimes, and we need to stop putting our PM infront everything that goes wrong in our country, he is not superman, he is human just like u and i. I know he has some power but he is not stronger than you After all you were the one who put him there… If you want the crime to stop.. STAND UP AND STOP IT…..
Dominica,
The PM is the leader of the country, he need to set the example. It all starts with.
He needs to set the example even for those who commit crimes all over?
U WILL NOT TAKE HIM OUT THOUGH
But tell that to those who believe he is super human. This may be a part of our problem. The glorification of things and people that are of this world.
Does Dominica have a PM? What a joke…A man who told the worldthat no law or constitution can prevent him from doing what he wants in the country.!! He further insulted all of us by telling us publicly Go to Hell three times..
he do right and wat happen u escape…leave the pm alone. stop making everything into a political thing
very true
WELL SAID,DOM..
i must mention the reason why there is so much violence in grand bay is because the youth of today has no one to look up to. there’s no mentors left.There is no one in the village who is willing to call your parents when they see you doing something wrong those days are gone .Parents are scared of the own kids .If your government is breaking all the rules in the country and the people are allowing it to continue. We need to take a stand and impeach your prime minister. Stop pretenting that everything is ok ,its like being in a bad marriage, you a stay because of the kids.Stop blaming our kids other people kids its not there fault its soceity’s fault.Prayer alone wont work everyboby at home and aboard has to come together and fight in what we believe in to help the youth and our country.So i wish everyone a more productive 2011 and hoping for no more violence. peace from atl.
IN ATL THE GOVERMENT IS BREAKING THE RULE EVERY DAY AND I’VE NOT HEAR YOU BLAME OBOMA. STOP BEING A “MAMA LOOK” PRAY FOR PEOPLE TO DO SOUL SEARCHING, TO EVERY TIME SOMETHING GO WRONG IN DOMINICA, BLAME THE PM NOT THE THING OR THE PERSON AT FAULT. YOU HAVE DONE WRONG IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT DID THE PM DID TO MAKE YOU SO EVIL…………
Kay dear, didnot mean to get you all worked up. I am not blaming any one person.My main point in all of this is we has dominicans need to come together to help DA. We need to use that tragic event as a real wake up call ,to do something these time and to start exploring new ideas to solve these problems. We need to use that opportunity to come up with solutions . we must start .Prayer is very important. We all most pray.There is also a saying “god help those who help themselves”. Peace and love always. OH, BY THE WAY WHATS A MAMA LOOK?
What the hell u talking about that the reason there is so many violence in g/bay I don’t mean to be rude but i am from the heart of grand bay and i had my parents who taught me the right things, grand-bay is what it is i wont say no but don’t blame it on everybody cause i never had a problem like that. not everyone in grand bay thats bad .so please state ur comment right ok. i am from g/bay too and i don;t hide what ppl there are doing but i will not take blame for them. when they do bad i say it as it is cause i don’t care.
@ whatever You are so so so right….Most of the people that the youths look uup to are bad role models…THIS IS SCARY….
Whatever,whatever..Prayer alone is not enough? Partially true,but prayer is where it starts..God will put in our hearts what we need to do but we must first ask for it..We have not because we ask not..We can’t always take matters into our own hands or more people would be dead..We must consult with God first..When in a bad marriage sometimes you have to let go and let God..So anyway you try and put it is God we need to put first and the only way to reach him is on your knees through PRAYER!!!!!
I would really like you to read the list of murders cause I sure don’t see Grandbay only written there. And there are alot of people to look up to in Grandbay. I am not from there and I know alot of positive young people from there. Y’all need to stop talking this bias nonsense
You probably wasn’t even born in Dominica. You talking a bunch of, Ka! Ka! right now…Stay in ATL and tell Obama how to parent the kids out there..Good Luck!!
When they were alive people were complaining that they are bad, now that they are dead the same people are saying that they did not have to die that way. I wonder why? what u wanted the killer to do .Put a sponge around the bullets? If am wrong please forgive me but for what i know i think that these guys are better off dead. I also think that the killer needs to be put to death in a civilized manner.
14 out of a population of 60 something thousand violently killed this year so far, plus those that are not reported, plus those killed by AIDS and other diseases, and we saying to “Put another one to death”? WAW!! Is DA becoming a killing field? ..HELP!!HELP!!
MY GREAT CONCERN IS DAT DOM INICA SEEMS TO HAVE PROFEESIONAL MURDERERS. THEM MAN KILLING THEIR TARGETS AMONG PPL. WHAT THE? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. I MEAN DONT TAKE ME WRONG , IM GLAD INNOCENT PERSONS AMONG THE TARGETS ARE NOT KILLED BUT I FIND TOO HAVE PROFEESIONAL MURDERERS LIKE DAT… NAH MAN…
I thought about that also…”Babylon ah com down breds!!
since labour came back in power all this nonscence started to happen……..r.i.p my broda isolah rest in peace
don’t blame labour blame ppl lke u with no sense U LIVE BY THE SWORD U DIE BY THE SWORD!!! WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND AND THTS WHT THEY GOT so the ppl who killed just might have saved the lives of other ppl!!!!!!!
workers and freedom will have their time in office and i guess when that happens we will no longer hear stories about Cain and Abel and all the problems in Haiti, America, Italy, Zimbabwe, Russia and all countries around the world will be solved.
YOU ARE SO SICK, WHAT A” MAMA LOOK” U ARE.
i am not a labourite but i will not agree to those bias talk .we all need to pray for our nation .wether we are in america ,africa ,cuba or argentina.we all need to pray for healing for our nation
I have never seen or heard of a bad man commiting crimes against his own people and then go on to live a peaceful life among the same people.These guys committed a crime wave both in st thomas and Dominica.Their mum Suteeway dem for too long …I cannot even feel sorry for her and that is an example to the grandbay mothers that know what their kids doing and running guadeluope to mantee manter to save them and think u doing what’s right.All past bad boys or bad men from grandbay are dead take note,live peacefully and u’ll live a long life.Good riddance to these two and there is more to get rid off.
i agree 100 %
true say
I’ll vote for you for PM…
I am so shocked at some of these comments. Looking at it, it seems as though some Dominicans look forward to these murders just so they can say that the PM is not good. Thats a shame and that’s evil! Anyways, I hope that the Dominicans that really care about Dominica would wish the best for their country regardless if they dont like the government. In the end, it might be your family that’s hurt when you wish such evil things. When it’s all said and done, we are all affected by these crimes.
Good Girl
When it’s bad you have to say it is bad. The PM needs to set the example, and stop telling people “go to HELL, it’s not their damn business.” He needs to stop those things he doing, “no constitution can stop him” was his words.
When you do those things what do you expect, people will follow your lead. So he’s as much to blame, see what happen yesterday in Goodwill.
VERY WELL SAID MY GIRL
Anyway Dominicans it’s like y’all just wait for something to happen to run y’all mouth Eh? Everything do NOT have go be politics. That ” live by the gun die by the gun” that’s nonsense. Tell me how the crime is going to stop because the person who shot them are going to now fall in that category now. Think of what these guys mother have to go through losing her 2 children at the same time and on Christmas day. I wish her strength as she goes though this ordeal. My classmates RIP. It’s really sad hearing that the 2 of you guys had to go this way.
i will say it again to all those that blaming the pm and every one else that will be the outcome
anonymous u come on here calling your fellow country man idiot’s now u want to tell people to pray
start by telling your brother have an open mind just because he does not have the same view’s as
u these guys laid thier path long be for we knew off the pm how the hell cld he stop most off the
crimes when we as parent’s let our kids hide thier guns in the house when we help them run from
one island to not let them face charges i try raising my kids the right way but god forgive they did
any thing that bad no one wld have to call the cops for me i wld turn them in myself i wil let them
know that so when the time come they cannot say i did not one them. I was raised in the vi’s so i have seen alot Stop blaming every one else than the ones we should be blaming
Sad sad sad……
We make our kid guide them ….But they grown they make there own mine my prays goes out to the family there mom isouline
VERY WELL SAID
Happy Holidays to everyone! It’s amazing how many comments were posted for this story that got our attention. I know both young men growing up in GrandBay. They were the sweetest boys. As other young men in the entire world they made some poor decisions well known to us, still bringing disgust to some of us even after their deaths. Let’s not rejoice on their tradegies. Let’s not mock a mother’s loss. Let’s not cremate a child’s loss. We all have children growing up, whether they are our sons, daughters, cousins, friends, or so on. Let us stop pointing the finger at each other, or at the government, or at irrational, or illogical causes. Let’s stop making excuses for our behavior. Each of you who have posted has made some poor decision or some sort at least once in your life. Learn from this tradegy. Look into your own life. Clean your own closet beginning this day. End this year more righteous and by doing this we all, on an individual basis will contribute to a more peaceful, and harmonious society. May God be with all you and may God continue to bless all of us with his most outpouring of blessings. I love you all.
strong choice of words…….but there is not much of u on island…………may the lord have mercy on their souls…………they made a decision to be ganster and dies like a ganster…………….cant feel anyway for them………..
although mwanga didnt have to die that way!!!! the murderer was a pussy! they know they cudnt face him face to face……………real bad man niggaz gotta die the G way……………they forget that oath………and expect us to feel sorry!

what about christmas day? Do you really know what the celebration is all about? whoever u are it has nothing to do with the birth of christ but pure witchcraft.
Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions.
It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.
To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.
The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.
In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.
When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.
What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?
You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.
The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.
The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.
This was done long before the birth of Jesus.
It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.
These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.
Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.
This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.
In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.
The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.
Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.
The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.
The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.
Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.
These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.
The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?
The word “Christmas”itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.
The word “Christmas” is a combination of the words “Christ” and “Mass.
The word “Mass” means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.
The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the “Host”, a word taken from the Latin word “hostiall” meaning victim!
In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.
A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.
In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, “Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.
When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.
These reformers left Christmas intact.
In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.
The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.
We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.
As the Bible clearly states in Jeremiah 10:2-4, “Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen; and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven. For the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain. For one cutteth a tree out of the forest. The work of the hands of the workman with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not.”
So, what is wrong with Christmas?
1. To say that Jesus was born on December 25th is a lie! The true date is sometime in September according to the Scriptures.
2. Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden as pagan and heathen! To say that these are Christian or that they can be made Christian is a lie!
3. The Lord never spoke of commemorating his birth but rather commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.
Think about it! Can we worship and honor God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God Himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow “Christianize” these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves? Can we obey through disobedience?
So what is right about Christmas? 1. Nothing!
“The Roman festival of Saturnalia, Dec. 17-24, moved citizens to decorate their homes with greens and lights and give gifts to children and the poor. The Dec. 25 festival of natalis solis invicti, the birth of the unconquered sun, was decreed by the emperor Aurelian in A.D. 274 as a Winter Solstice celebration, and sometime (later)…was Christianized as a date to celebrate the birth of the Son of Light.”
December 25th was not selected because it was the birth of Christ or because it was even near it. It was selected because it coincided with the idolatrous pagan festival Saturnalia.
jehovah witness classic brainwashed……..didnt your elder say the world would have already ended….what about you can i believe
actually i am a seventh-day adventist
I’M WITH YOU ON THAT ONE. JUST LAST NIGHT I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A FRIEND ABOUT THE SAME THING.
thanks for your understanding
what is your point nuh?
dude you had time to write all of that????????? GET.A.LIFE! but love to you b/c ur a christian
English please or creole, but speak something that we can read and understand.
what does this have to do with the topic. if you want to speak against celebrating Christmas find your own platform. Don’t try to influence pp just because of what you think is Christmas. We all have to face judgement one day.Back OFF!!
would you rather i rejoiced in the death of these two young men like you fools do? O r would you prefer i I blamed the PM for all the crimes in dominica. From reading your reply i realize that you are an educated person who graduated with your phd in ignorance and arrogance.
Is my english too high for your level? next time i will try my best to break it down.
Lol that’s a good one, I love wat u wrote can tell ur educated, don’t stoop down to these fools. I understood ur comment
SMH! Honestly im too disappointed to read all of these comments, but seriously i don`t know what has gotten into this country, have we really forgotton our purpose on Earth. If we did not give life why take life. This is no example for us youths of today, the next generation. Im just very dissapointed, and on christmas day at that!
…i`ll continue to pray for our nation. I hope 2011 will be much better
swat may your soul rest in peace
@Jah Guide……….and you call yourself Jah Guide! You have some much hate in your heart for Labour that you looking forward to 18 murders to justify your evil thoughts> WHAT A SHAME!

Apparently your facebook different than mine cause noone liked the story
maybe u got no friends? ;)
87 now like this story.
nobody cares :P
R.I.P my nigga $WAT AND JOE .gone but not forgotten
There is no justification for what those boys did,niether the shooter but the lives they lived reflected the way they died.what about the family of the person they killed in the USVI, where is their justice?. Plz,they weren’t heros of the day and neither was ‘Swat’ a good parent..I feel for their families and my l’il neice but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.the devil has his hand on my country and we should stamp him out…tp many times I see ppl taking bad kids and shipping them off to even worst environments thinking they will be better off and they only get worst. To all the babus mamas I beg you break the curse on your kids don’t let them fall into a generation that is doomed to be malicious and wicked..and to my fellow Dominicans I say PRAY for our NATION
IF YOU WERE PLACED IN THE EYSE OF THE PUBLIC WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO CAST THE FIRST STONE.FOT THE LORD SAID HE WHO HAS NO SINS CAST THE FIRST STONE, NOT ONE PERSON COULD HAVE DONE THAT .SO SHUT YR SMELLING A**
Amen Blah…you are soooooo right.
I say Amen to that Blah.. Well said… Dominicans have to pray for Dominica or it will be doomed to eternal damnation. We need a great shower of blessing to wash away the curse that we have placed on our country. We all need to take the blame for the way our children are raised. We support their behaviour because we all believe that we benefit (consciously or unconsciously) from their ill will and malicious intentions. Something has to be done and we are the ones who have to do it. Even if they are our children, we need to do what ever it takes to set them right and keep our nature island paradise afloat.
Some of you need to get out more and come out your little boxes. Why does everything have to be about politics? Are you guys obsessed with the PM? Going on and on about the government will not solve anything. Crime is everywhere! And yes, it’s shocking when it happens in Dominica especially when it’s so much, but some of you need to come out your holes you are in. I think the USVI had about 40 something murders for the year. Even in St. Thomas that’s much smaller than Dominica the crime rate is much higher. Those of you who are saying Dominica was sold to the devil, you need to get out more. Seriously!
Yes we are cause he in no good…Where are the draconian laws he promised before year end,to deal with illegal firearms? HE IS A TERRIBLE LEADER…!!!!
It’s the Government responsibility to do the necessary to curb crime in the country. But if he’s part of it, what do you expect.
DNO,
You seem to have forgotten the male from Portsmouth (the Andrew felah) who was found murdered in the burial ground on the morning of November 14th of this year. So it brings to 14, the amount of persons who would have been murdered in the country to date, as though detected this year, the young man from Barbados would have died last year.
ADMIN
That incident was not classified as a murder.
Has it been confirmed that he was murdered?
Ok. My bad then. I guess it was due to natural causes.
the boy was not murder . was it u who murder him ? find out the news before u make comments please
13 murders in the year so far out of a total population of 69000. That makes it approximately 19 per 100000 which is how the murder rate of a country is calculated. Trinidad had about 460 murders in 2010 so far; with a population of 1.3 million that makes it about 35 murders per hundred thousand.
So in 2010 Dominica’s murder rate is more than half of the murder rate in Trinidad.
we cannot focus on other countries crime problem to solve ours ……13 murders…violent ones at that(gone are the days when murders came as a result of self defense) is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy 2 much for our small country!!!
Hope you are not suggesting that we should be proud of our “performance”!??
God bless and protect us all in Dominica
ACCORDING TO TO OUR POLICE CRIME IS STILL DOWN for 2010
pls make up the numbers for police to do some fing
LOL
THESE POLICEMEN ARE NOTHING MORE THAN GOVERNMENT POLITICIANS
so sad for the families ..what we gonna do..gangsters in control..blood money evrywere..we need prayers… where are the leaders. we need god
i agree…. we need help of the almighty father
united we stand and divided we fall
Right there in Grandbay we have Dominica’s best muscian and band Chubby and midnight groovers .And what makes him the best is his perpetual call for PEACE AND UNITY among Dominicans and man in general..oh how i wish we all would meditate on the lyrics of those songs..especially the young men who pick up the knife,cutlass and guns instead of the guitar,keyboard and drumset.those illegal guns on the street…we need to get them out the street.we need to send a strong message to the illegal gun slingers out there..a positive one at that too..not messages like,”No law..no police,no magistrate..not even the constitution can…”messages…those irresponsible and egotistic messages dont help one bit ..then again it only helps in the furtherance of more crimes…like we have on our hands now.
Well said,but sad to say the country is lawless…Even the leader has said that the law can’t stop him from doing what he has to do..
I agree, show me a country where the leaders have no regards for the law, I will show you a lawless nation.
There were no murders in dominica before Skerrit became PM???? I guess so! There will be lots more after he is gone!
all u people moving like is grand bay alone that jus have crime man
NONSENSICAL COMMENT..
well, it’s Granbay most of the crime takes place- check the stats over the years!
hello is not ur business we crime taken place 4 some reason is always d bad things in grandbay allu does talk about crime happening everywhere n allu doesnt talk about it so shut all a..
good things berely happen there.
IS NOT GRANDBAY ALONE..IT HAPPEN EVERYWHERE….LET’S JUST SAY THE MEDIA LIKES WEN IS GRANDBAY…MA SAV AH NOU FEH YO
RIP Joe, any ways I know you had yr ways too, but you was a bit quiet is just that you r big brother was a rotten egg so you did not have a better example to follow. I really wish you had gotten a second chance. I really wanted you to pull through this and maybe turn your life around. But for Isola well all Hell doors can break loose to welcome that ignorant MTF!! His SWAT did not come into play last nite!!
For all you young men who playing gangster, you see how both of them got shot and all their soldiers who were right there run for cover? Take example from this case! They were all there with them having a good time, but by the time the second was fired they were running in peoples back yard to hide, and left their leaders to die.
you mean that’s how that played out? paper gangsters man
i like dat……………pussys all of demmmmmmmmmmmmm……ganster style doesnt pay off!
but its sad they dunno better
I liked Joe also. Very quiet, handsome and approachable. Isola is another story. Poor joe. I feel for you. I wanted you to live.
THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE SWORD SHALL PERISH BY THE SWORD.
DO NOT FIGHT EVIL WITH EVIL BUT REPLACE EVIL WITH GOOD.
Well Well. Crime must continue because some of us as leaders in soceity are too sympathetic to crimminals and to quick to blame law enforcement for soceity ills. When u had police officers in Granbay enforcing law and order the so called leaders of the community was complaining so they take them out and send a new set of JOKERS so things like that must happen and must continue. They burst gunshots all thru the night as if to say what, We bad, we sad, or we glad. When the leaders in that community put their foot down againts crime and crimminal activity I believe Grandbay will looked at as a place with positive people by everyone because some people anytime you mention grandbay they scared.To the so called leaders in the Grandbay community my advice to you all if you so love Granbay and Grandbarians, Stop tolerating crime and criminals for all you selfish Political and financial gain.
I LIKE THE COMMENT,BUT MY BROTHER THE government is not immunet that..The chief of police is not immune to that..With all these gun related murders in Grandbay have you heard of any surprised search?/ I TELL YOU THE COUNTRY IS LONG GONE !!!!!!!!
My dear Isola and Joshia i must say u guys will surley be missed by your family I will pray for your Kids so that they don’t follow your foot path. Wendy my Girl nuff love for you be strong.
may their souls rest in peace and may God strengthen their family.. peolple always remember that the bible says that if my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways and seek my face then will i hear from heaven lead and heal their land. Dominicans our country needs healing and we all need to turn to God. Our leaders need to begin to open their eyes and see the light… if they lead the people will follow. Pray people Pray and take our country back to the unspoilt nation that it was…… R.I.P Josiah and Isolah you will be missed………
amen, much fasting &prayer is needed for my country. Thinking of moving home but it seems worst than where i am.
HE CANNOT REST IN PEACE. HE DID NOT LIVE IN PEACE. UTTER NONSENSE!
blood sacrifices are everywhere. people have to die for dark forces to maintain their stand on this earth. if crime ever stops then a whole new world takes place. paradise is born. they control/influences people via food, light bulb, water, chemitrails, computer, radiation, technology and a host of other mean. the world will coninue along this path unless we return to the dream time. http://www.educateyourself.org

you don’t need to swear when you disagree. He is wrong, the country will never be better not in this life anyway. Only one man can bring peace on earth HE is coming soon. You don’t believe me open your bible to MAT. 24.
why dno does allow ignorance here? it really tells me wht the average persone in dominica is like!!!! everytime some thing happens the comment like they came from a garbage dump. then again a cat can only think like a cat no matter wht right so these sh… a…s cant think any differently! go educate yourselves dumnincan plz. that will improve the socail life of the country. you all are making life miserable for other people with whats spewing from your mouths. there are things that doctors cant diagnose but let the biggest gossiper know you are sick and they will tell you exactly what diesease you are suffereing from. dominica is the only country where almost 89% of the citizen has Doctorate degree from “blajay” university. at this school you can specialize in GOSSIP, lying, carniving, hatred, jealousy, scandal and all other abomination that will enable a grduate to spoil the life of another person.
Crime has nothing to do with inadequacies in the police force. Crime is necessary for a police force. to stay in place. very necessary.
Let me be called chicken, coward scaredy cat but never 2 take any1 life!!!!
Finally someone with some sense! I wish more Dominicans would think positive and logical. So much talk about nothing! Grow up people and begin to develop our country and stop destroying one another. We are so wicked!!
u talk too much your self.. don’t bother raise ur blood pressure.. relax.. and dont ever diss your homeland people.. cause guess what your mother and father “dumbinicans” too …and spell check please before posting ;)
i am not dissing them i am saying it just as it is!!!! u must be as shallow as they are not to realize that all the the way they speak towards and about each other are very oppressive and hurtful. do you ever hear dumbinican emphasizing on the good that people do. go to a village and ask 10 people about 1 person and most likely you will get 10 negative responses. why are they portraying the person like that as if they have never done any good.
let me stop wasting precious time becuase you will never understand. just ignorance reigning supreme in that country.
THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE GUNS DIE BY THE GUNS
True said!
Shout you .. talking about dying by gun, them fellas were loving guys
they had no love in there heart,the way they live that the way they die………………
plz stop saying that about my father i am only 10
oh please give me a break……………………stupesssssssssss
********************************Let’s love one another*************************
As the PM once said……… DA does not have a crime problem. It’s mostly family issues. Let’s love one another!!!! That’ll fix it right mr. PM?
Do you remeber that? Unbeleivable!!!!
Can someone name the children who were in Isola’s class? I just find it too alarming that most from their class are meeting tragic deaths. Pray for those who are left. Look at the children who were in the primary school class!
does that have anything to do with them getting killed
I am one of them and I’m still here..What’s your point???
I’m one the females from his class I’m still here
all bad bulls have their bull soup coming
I know them man personally and RIP to them both. It’s just a shame that the influence that Swat had on Joe is what got Joe killed. I am not going to say that I feel bad for their mom because when they was in St Thomas … people and doing all kinds of …. If anything I feel bad for Joe the the twenty children that he and have SMMFH. I mean you live my the gun you die by it simple.
And for the people that saying “Doe matter what they do they should die like that” How the hell were they suppose to die? Them boys do too much.
The shooter will get away with it.We have damn good lawyers here,or the courts will say he was not of sound mind.By the way,where Skerritt coming in that?We just like to make some dumd-… comments.I like Grand Bay,some …d-up ignorant cannot destroy the way i feel about Grand Bay.We all know that those who destroy the good name of our country,are the useless,ignorant,stupid one.God is watching yu Grand Bay just pray a little harder.
dominicans endorsed crime and criminal behavour only when we place a corrupt government in power.. so we as a nation has brought the devil into our soceity, because crime and corruption is not of god.
now go ahead and critize my comments but it is the truth… if we live in the light then the road will be lighted for us… if we live in darkness we will receive the rewards of darkness….
this is not political…. its just the trends i see.
lord place your light in or minds and heart and give us the opportunity to be forgiving and meek. we know that we have strayed from the flock so light our path so we could find our way..
forgive us for the wrong we have done and pour your grace on us..
bless us o load so our days here will be long and keep us as we gracefully depart to our heavenly kingdom.
amen
I guess u did not vote in the last elections. Had the result been different, for example Workers had won, then Dominica would be a paradise with the streets paved with gold, no crime, every citizen employed, no bills to pay etc, etc…….
very true pastor. If you are in Dominica why not call for aday of prayer and fasting?
FOR HIS SAKE I DO HOPE HE IS A REAL PASTOR OTHERWISE THIS WOULD BE CALLED BLASPHEMY. I SEE NO POINT IN SOME SO CALLED PASTORS TALKING ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR OF POLITICAL LEADERS AND THEY AS SERVANTS OF THE MOST HIGH DO EVEN WORST THINGS. O YE HYPOCRETES!
GOOD POINT
U LIVE BY THE GUN, U DIE BY IT
.

there is a saying :when your friend’s beard on fire water yours.
no matter what these guys did,now they are DEAD and another killer is running loose.we did not turn they in even though some of us knew they were killers (or so the talk goes)
we are saying they got what they deserve.
but what about the guy who pulled the trigger yesterday?are we gonna let him hide when some of us know who he is?he is a murderer,or are we gonna wait for the right time to exact revenge and thereby have another murder on uor hands.
see the trend my ppl.we r the ones who can do our part to help our nation grow.
the government has the power but we gave it to him.we as a ppl. can change the course our country is going but we have do do it as a united front.
r.i.p boys.
Yes Father….U alone can heal our nation..
Dominica will be the worst in the wi. The people take crap too long.
swatty boi rip man u gone to soon although u did wrong man one love for the ghettoe we go still remember u my boi r>i>p
We are asking Dominicans to come back home to develop their country but instead of dat we have criminals coming back home whether of their free will or otherwise, causing crime to be on the rise as bad as it already is. We must realize dat we are living in the end times; men will be lovers of themselves, boasters,proud, truce breakers, without natural affection, disobedient to parent,unthankful, unholy. Do we only pray with our lips and our hearts are far away from God, or is it only when somethng terrible happen that we call on God. Prayer should be an every day event and should be done in sincerity and truth. God has dominica in his hands and no man can sell Dominica.
It is sad that they lost their life yes BUT in the same breathe, how many mothers have they made cry when they took those men lives. You cannot expect that by you doing bad things only good will come from it. They killed in St Thomas, their own Grandbarian people, and then run from st thomas right back to Dominca where those people family are. Really, You expect to just come back to Grand Bay and nothing happen. Well it is time to wake up. Live your life right and all these posts will not be nesessary. Peace!!!
God know what he is doin, today u dea tomorrow is anoth
er story…….if is so God want it den so it shall be
so you saying god causing people to kill other people
Is not God noh..satan that working hard like that wii because he know his time near..Even when people judging people from grandbay is the devil work..He trying to cover up their eyes to their own wrongdoings so he can have their soul too..
oh yes! well said lion
dominican jus .. wicked eh wen dey ready dey like to kill pple buh if is der family dey ready to kill de person wen is someone else it aleays gud fr dem it nt nice to loose ur 2 brodas
but some dominicans really stupid n ignorant eh everytin for dem is a politics…bonjay give dem pass we for dem to have our name up grandbay again is dat dey always sayin but d time will come when allu will shut allu a.. up wii jus wait n see yes josiah n isola was bad for true but i mean come on dey were human beings n they didnt deserve to die that way is time for them to put order in d/ca see if dey put hangin back if ppl will not behave themselves they no is 2 days dey takin in jail so dey doe care dey does doin tings n dere family dere to do voodoo 4 dem but god’s grace n mercy is stronger dan voodoo isola n joe family will get their satisfaction
u are right my gurl
u live by the gun u die by the gun the bible said that, yes they are humans but arent the other people they caused mischief to, also humans its not in our hands to take revenge but i guess they were tired of them to bad man. and u should no that every long rope has an end and wen u bad it have people even badder. so think of every thing they did before u speak darling.
i dont have to think of anything yes they killed many ppll but dey didnot deserve to die like dogs
Rip Joe and swat.when you guys was in st. Thomas you guys was like our brothers and in my heart you all will always be. I am sorry that you guys time was cut short, but I hope god forgives you all for what you guys did in life and open the gates of hevean and let you guys in. I forgive you guys for all your wrong doings and may the lord be with your mom and kids and Wendy I miss you girl and feel for you. Just wished you listened to me when I asked you to stay st. Thomas and not go back. Whatever Joe and swat did no one had the right to take there lifes. There is that saying who lives by the gun dies by it but what makes the person that take there lifes think that they no going out the same way my boy them go out. Rip Joe and swat I will miss you guys.
That is very sweet – Although I didn’t know them I too hope that God did forgive them and allow them in heaven. It is not HIs will that anyone perishes. While some may point fingers at them or even gloat at their deaths because of how they lived, God does not categorize sin. A liar and murder are both sinners in God’s eyes. But He is a very loving God and He is always ready to forgive all those who call upon Him and I hope that was the case with them two. That is very compassionate of you to think that way.
God bless you
WEEpapa well if you want dose boys in heaven i for one doh want to go there
i never laughed so hard at a comment. You made my night.
The people you expect to not see there you will and vice versa..We can never tell..
lol
I second that what a joke.Life is what we make it ppl.
lmoa!!! dat make me laff
I AM NOT ASHAME OF THE WORD OF GOD…WHEN IT COMES TO GOD’S WORD I HAVE BACK BORN FOR NO MAN OR WOMAN…
i know this is a sad time and what i can say to the mother is turn to God…every one else people will disappoint you. don’t take vengeance, romans 12:19 said don’t take vengeance for ourselves but leave it to the supreme judge(PARAPHRASED). ..but my friend God don’t open his gate for sinners!! he said rapist, murderers, homos, fornicators, thieves adulterers and adulteress and all the other sinful actions will NOT ENTER!!…he will say depart from me i know you not….BUT if born again believers die THEY WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER!! SO IF PEOPLE THINK THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT JESUS AS SAVIOUR AND DIE IN SIN AND WITH THEIR SINS…AND THINK THEY’LL BE ACCEPTED INTO GOD’S KINGDOM THEY FOOLING THEMSELVES!!!!

My friend, it is true that one who died in SIN (all sins including the little lies that people tell that seems like nothing to even christians) will not go through heavens gate but Got will neither open His gates to those who play judge. You don’t know what these guys last moment was with the forgiving God we serve. You were not born saved so stop behaving as if Jesus had to shed more blood for that one than he did for you. You do not know if this guy asked and received forgiveness with his last breath. I tell you, those of the household of faith here on earth will get their biggest surprise in heaven. Those who you think might have made it in may never make it through the gates of heaven and that is the problem with you people. You ALL tend to know who made it to heaven and who didn’t.
Many people made their peace with God right on their death bed. This one guy who got shot a few minutes before he died right on the street repented of his sins and asked God to forgive him – he died a minute later. They may have lived a life as killers, fornicators etc. but they might have made it to heaven forgiven. WHAT A GREAT AN FORGIVING GOD WE SERVE.
I am in no way advocating what they did, but we are never to play judge when people die. We don’t know the condition of their hearts when they leave this earth, only Christ does. So just hope for them what you hope for your love ones.
And people like to say what if what if what if….Asking God forgiveness isn’t all…because you can not come to God without accepting his son Jesus christ as lord and saviour…I hope he did that.
But also you have to realize people go to hell…that’s what hell was made for….maybe the first thing you should have commented on is A.G comment!!!
How to know God personally….
What does it take to begin a relationship with God? Devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that God will accept you?
You may be surprised that none of those things will work. But God has made it very clear in the Bible how we can know Him.
The following principles will explain how you can personally begin a relationship with God, right now, through Jesus Christ…
Principle 1:
God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
God’s Love
“God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” 1
God’s Plan
[Christ speaking] “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly” [that it might be full and meaningful]. 2
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because…
Principle 2:
All of us sin and our sin has separated us from God.
We Are Sinful
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 3
We were created to have fellowship with God; but, because of our stubborn self-will, we chose to go our own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
We Are Separated
“The wages of sin is death” [spiritual separation from God]. 4
This diagram illustrates that God is holy and people are sinful. A great gulf separates us. The arrows illustrate that we are continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through our own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion — but we inevitably fail.
Principle 3:
Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for our sin. Through Him we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our life.
He Died in Our Place
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 5
He Rose From the Dead
“Christ died for our sins…He was buried…He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures…He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred…” 6
He Is the Only Way to God
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.'” 7
This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
It is not enough just to know these three principles…
Principle 4:
We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.
We Must Receive Christ
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.” 8
We Receive Christ Through Faith
“By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.” 9
When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
[Christ speaking] “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.” 10
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for your sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. You receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
I AM NOT BEING JUDGE BECAUSE I HAVE MY OWN ISSUES TO WORRY ABOUT…SO WHILE U MIGHT THINK AM JUDGING….I TOO HAVE GO TO GOD EVERYDAY TO REPENT..BECAUSE AS A CHRISTIAN I KNOW A SIMPLE THING AS A”WHITE LIE” IS A SIN..
I think that we are cursed as a nation………
When they sold Dominica to the devil it came with a price.
Sooner or later Dominicans will realize that you all have been sold to the highest bidder i.e more young will continue to perish. I pray for the Families of these young men that God may grant them strength in this time of tragedy.
PS: THE PEOPLE WITH THESE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE THE ONES WHO HELPED SELL DOMINICA…….
bu were dey comin out wit dere nonsense sayin dere nuh nobody sell dominica 4 devil i was not sold 2 da devil so maybe is u alone
@ Grandbay girl, i’m hear wondering the same thing i never knew they sold Dominica.
Well Cursed by now you should know that the whole world is cursed. Give me one country where murders don’t happen? WHy you people thing your country is an exception is beyond me. Sh** happens all over.
Let me tell u sumting with ur nonsense. if u curse dat is ur business, if politiciand so things to get in powre that is dere business. but myself bless from the almighty so dont tie me in ur nonsense. right…

WOMAN I WAS BORN FROM THE WOMB OF A DOMINICAN AND I AM A PROUD DOMINICAN, BUT YOU PEOPLE ARE TO BLATANT WITH THE TRUTH. KEEP HIDING BEHIND YOUR IRON CURTAIN. LOL.
The curses you proclaim will fall on you and will hit you hard! Maybe you know more about that cause you were one of those who tried to sell us to the Devil at Point Mulatte years ago. Is a good thing the sun never showed its face, yet still souls like yours were sold!
@EDITOR LEARN TO SPELL BEFORE YOU COME ON HERE MEDIATING. THEY GAVE YOU A PC WITH NO SENSE OF DIRECTION. COMPUTER ILLITERATE.
you should be ashame to call ur nation cursed. foolish you. to get down on ur knees and pray you dere proclaiming curse. huh… u even have ur name as cursed/ girl if u know wat dat good for u go and pray. cuz u claiming some real eveil on urself. u know te consequences of being cursed, huh? be careful wat ur tongue say and speak victory. aa. if poliyicians or whoever curse themselves say dat not my country. i in poitics then or was i dere if they did anything. i taking dat peronal.
If any body was cursed it was you! Don’t come on here putting curse on Dominica and people! Get a life!

best u doe womment if is to say silly things so !!!
WOW,is all I can say in my L B M…
I heard reports those two brothers ran a reign onf terror on the community, shoot outs, alleged robberies, rape, and ther are deportees from USVI. Also i heard they are wanted in USVI for a reign of crime again, Its sad tht a young man had to take them both together,hww sad for the community again, I must commend the community for the reduction in crime.WE all must pray for the victims and family, all those involved
They did not get deported from from st-thomas
They Shoot five people and run

“Anonymous” read ur comment and you will find that you have just proved my point!!!!
May u be converted to the ttruth
SINCE 2005 WE HAVE MOVED DROM THE LAND OF THE LORD TO THE LAND OF EVIL AND THE WORSHIP THEREOF, SO WE MUST FACE THE CONSEQUENCIES OF TURNING A BLIND EYE TO AT THE TOP
God does not clean up evil places. That is what he is doing right now. Watch yourself! Don’t be naughty! Be nice!
The two of them dead Josiah and Isola are dead.
They are gone but will never be forgotten.
They did what they did but no one should ever have to die like that. God is watching and he is not happy.
so you saying they hurted other people and you now it bounce around, you fellin sorry for them…. i doh have a problem with that but also feel sorry for their(brothers) victim
when they were doing GOD did not like it tooo……………………………………………..THOSE BOYS BRING TEARS TO MY FAMILY………. U LIVE BY THE GUN U DIE BY THE GUN
maybe if they were spend more time on facebook they would not be in this..t!! Face books in a way reduces crime! hahaha
YUH a DAmN..?
KillPut I want to shake your hand…….

Both you and Mark Zuckerberg are idiots !

incredible.
Hell break loose again fada hmmmmm
boy i do not want to know what the mother going th
to lose two sons at the same time be strong ersuline every body have thire ways
is that true?
What happened does not look at all. It does not look good for Grand Bay and it does not look good especially for Dominica….but don’t start with this “grand bay people” talk. Not all people from grand bay are bad. When the crimes were happening in other places it was never said that their entire village were bad. Why does it have to be now that the crime happened in Grand Bay people are saying “Grand Bay people, Grand Bay people”
but its the grandbay ppl that are involved in this shyte…….the boys are from grandbay………..we cannot say they from anywhere else…………………..what u trying to say JJ? eh?
true. cause am from the heart of g/bay but they can’t blam all of us.what the hell happen to them meson.i don’t hide what the ppl are doing but as well i don’t go broadcasting it either
Righteousness exalueth a nation, but sin is a reproach. The head is rotten and so is the body. Have we in Dominica sold our souls to the devil? Yeah! Yeah yeah! Crime is everywhere, especially in America, but Dominicans.. 13 murders in one year out of 70,000 people, and this has been the pattern for some time? This Christmas all you celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ with blood and fire…I used to hear people like Parry Bellot say so many things about people in the Middle East, how they violent blah, blah blah, it seems they are getting some cpmpetition from Dominica, considering the population ratio.. Skerritt called Jerry Brisbane Terrorist for writing to Aid donors and telling them to watch where there money going.. Some person or persons went and fire bombed a citizens houes, I have not heard Skerrit, I am looking forward with hieightened anticipation to hear what he is going to say, beause if there was ever a terrorist act in Dominica, this is it!!! Where does Skerrit stand on this kind of terrorism???
Why do “we” mention Skerrit in EVERYTHING? Is he GOD? Turn to the True God and PRAY. That is what we have to do! Not call on Skerrit. He can not save. He is just a mare man.-
Sir apparently you didn’t understand a word I said! I am not calling on Skerrit, I am telling Dominicans that sine is a reproach so they must check themselves and their leaders and as the leader of the country, Skerrit has to condem wrong doings, but he is very selective in doing that… Apparently the 18-3 of the peaople ADORE him, so he should come out and speak to them about the real evils that are taking place in Dominica., andf since they adore him and believe in him so much, just maybe they will lsiten to him and stop kiiling one another.. I totally agree with you, people should not put their faith in any man let alone Skerrit, but this seems to be what is happening in Dominica, and they are following his lead to!
Yes but allu making ppl tired with just calling Skerrit Skerrit Skerrit.. It starting to get annoying.
Well said my Brother or Sister…..Once the head is rotten the entire body is rotten…these are dark days for Dominica. There are corrupt acts taking place on a daily basis from the top to the bottom and on both sides…..Dominica has become the corruption and drug Capital of the World….These two events have take place in a time of peace and goodwill to men…Christmas. Where are we going…is this the next level we were promised….well, well, well what a level….You mentioned 70,000 people….I do not believe we have that population…it is more like 55 – 60,000….people leaving here everyday…..and interesting you mentioned Parry….its he and the other former Freedomites that hijacked the people’s Labour Party that responsible for that….when they are removed the people of Dominica must linch them….Labourites remember in the 70s and 80s Savarin called on Dominicans to look for every Labourites in every nock and cranny of Dominica, in every hole and under every stone and deal with them….well we must like for all those former Freedomites Savarin first from every nock and cranny and deal with them.
live skerrit alone when all u put all u children on the street 2 b gangstars and they kill ppl or ppl killthem it allabout skerrit, the bible say 2 train a child fight so when they grow up they will not grow out of it
didnt you know skerrit is god 2 you all???
if u didnt. now you know. the way youall treat skerrit its like he’s a god. but he’s not my god.
last sunday down at macoucherie some of you’ll had banners written we support corruption. now dominicans take what alu get.
Skerrit must be mentioned because he himself breaks the law..He is lawless, so what do you expect from the younger ones.
In spite of what these young men did or did not do……..lets come together and pray for our nation. These are some serious times.
there was a prophecy that christmas would be sad in grand bay. many thought that it was a joke. walking in God prepares you for this.
the family need prayers right now.
hold on my dear. all is not lost. God will restore

yes bonj alu ppl really stupid !!! god say not to judge ppl !!! n alu judgin them but alu not better
Only God can judge us but we have got to stop being hyprocratics. Those of us who know those young men know damn well they grew up to be cheap imitation gangstars. They were very violent and I have to put some of the blame on their families for always lying and covering up for them. After Isola did what he did in St.Thomas and ran to dominica we knew it was a matter of time before someone happen like that happened because the friends of the trail of victims they left behind vowed to sick justice one way or another. Two wrong don’t make it right but we all new they would have died the same way they lived. I too am raising two boys and I pray every chance I get for me to raise them as Christians and I pray for all parents to do the best we can for our kids. I tell my boys every day I’ll kill them my damn self and go to jail if they think they’re going to grow up to be law-breaking citizens…I work too damn hard for this. I’ve prayed for these your men as I pray for all young men who want to live by the guns. Violence is not the answer and yes these young man were humans two and I pray they find peace but let’s not close our eyes to the truth. I pray for the kids they are leaving behind and I hope they don’t follow in their fathers foot steps. To their mom…let’s see you hide their souls now.
as the saying goes 99 days for the theif and one day for the master to catch him and thats exactly what happens to the brothers.straight from grand bay
Empty head, I hope you know that there will also be a day for the shoorter as well.
yes there will be a day for the shooters but ur head seems to be even more empty bcuz that one day was the brothers own they had there 99 already.
Very well said! Some of us are just too biased. We need to be more open minded about things in this country
But excuse moi do you think the shooter did it out of spite? You know that there a two sides to a story
I knew the kid grown up and I never thought he’s end up following the wrong crowd. He went to St.Thomas shot a young man and ran to Dominica. GOD DON’T LIKE UGLY PEOPLE. We all have our faults but this young man was trouble and instead for his family to turn him in to face Justice for his crimes they send him to Dominica and see what happen…he went back to his old ways. Young people please turn to God not Gun. I pray to God the family of the shooter won’t hide him too.

U and I know their history. only a dumb .. would think of saying let the war begin, y are u not trying to help prevent anymore mishaps from happening? war u ask for I hope u can handle war

pure rubbish………..why want more war you should learn from this incident
Stupid fool
How many more for 18? am only watching and praying. Who doesn’t hear will feel
stop being stupid ur ignorant political fool. people die everywhere so dont put politics in it.
my thoughts exactly
guess is four more souls to make the eighteen or have we already arrived and have stopped counting. we need to pray for our country. This gun violence thing is a serious problem and the police needs to do some proper investiations. this is a tragedy.
WTF………….Speak for some………….Not all Grand Barians are bad………….Leave the rest of off this……………Some of us try hard to keep a good reputation while the rest jus plainly choose to do bad……………….Speak for yourselfs you people

We will now have peace in our neighbourhood
alu ppl always have to talk about ppl but remember alu have children !!! watch urs bfore u watch ppl own
What are you talking about? These people terrorized our neighbourhood with gunshots. What you expect us to say. Haven’t you heard of stray bullets?
yOU LIE… GRANDBAY NEEDS MORE ROLE MODELS….Are you one?
OMG… My community Grand Bay, I am praying for you guys. The people in the community have been trying so hard to help remove this bad name which our community has had over the years. I am so saddened by this, this Christmas Day, this news was certainly not what I expected. This is such a sad thing, RIP ISOLAH. Hold on Josiah.
boy not again just not again… I am not going to say all ur were saints I won’t support it. u guys live by the gun u die by the gun. Isola u and I were close but y u had 2 go so soon. I will miss u but u never listened when u were being warned. RIP
RIP to u Josiah u were the quiet one but as they say peter will pay for Paul. I pray that your killer will be brought to justice but as usual in Dominica it going to be a dead case. Evil will never cease if that is the way young men insist on settling their problems. this is something which has only just begun. more killings to come because revenge is around the corner. so many parents are left with the burden of burying the child. grand bay my town is slowly becoming a war zone. God I ask u to speak to the young men before they destroy each other. THE END IS NEAR!
We are moving to the next level!!!
ARE U SERIOUS!! THAT’S UR BEST COMMENT??
