THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND INSANE! That is why i do not believe everything I read on the news because they never seem to have all the facts. Anyone could get arrested and charged until they show up in court before the magistrate where the truth is being told and a judgment is made, then we will know whether the person is guilty or not. One thing I have learn’t is that the police need to have their facts straight before they present their statements to the court and not just say things to make themselves look good when they cannot solve their cases due to lack of evidence. As far as I know the case is still under investigation and bail was not $65,000 but $35,000. Therefore I am wondering how much truth is in the news these days. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
why the man not staying in there country .and stop going in man country to do there madness to make it hard for other kool people
the bad thingone of the men was his friend another dominican. it makes people like me very much ashame . i now chose where to go and who to hang out with.it is ashame but that is the way out here.
you are so right,
HMMM
I wonder how many Dominicans are in prison around the world for nonsense like that. I just cannot understand that.
Others behaving themselves when they are in other countries, why can’t we?
Somebody, tell me why, please.
the time it took him to go get the machete he should reconsider(sometimes it is better to be called coward)he could be the one nursing the fractured skull or maybe he could even get killed ..
Response reader is being sarcastic. u people too sensitive and cannnot use common sense to read between the lines.
To Response Reader, in your own words: “chop them man abroad….”we doh already have a bad name all around nah?” That is why they have to impose visa restrictions on us everywhere
Well my response to you, although you don’t deserve one, is; I hope there’s a VISA RESTRICTION against YOU, Response Reader. You don’t belong in any man’s Country. You don’t even belong in Dominica if that’s where you were born. If you’re were born elsewhere that’s EXACTLY where you should remain.
How could you be so INSANELY IGNORANT?
Do we need more bad names?
OMG!!!What’s wrong? Each time I turn on DNO there’s ‘a DOMINICAN did this a DOMINICAN did that’; it’s everywhere, and, it’s all ages, come on, learn how to appreciate and STOP SPOILING our already not so good reputation!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven’t you all done enough?
No wonder some people hate to say they’re Dominicans.
And NO, I’m not one of those people. I’m proud to say I’m a Dominican but I’m ashamed of your behavior.
You’re a dam fool? Instead you try to offer some sense to this individual u encouraging the violence. I want u to get a nice beating from some fellas wen u go foreign and u learn to behave yourself. You just dere talking a set of nonsense. Is people like u dat making things difficult for people who are trying to make a good life for themselves abroad. Go and do something worthwhile and stop making such idiotic comments.
But how nah, but of course chop them man abroad….we doh already have a bad name all around nah? That is why they have to impose visa restrictions on us everywhere.
