    Dear Ibo and the others obsessed with Skerrit,
    Please consider your mental health.
    The obsession with Skerrit is too much.
    The hatred too strong.
    The slugs that ate all the leaves of your cabbage plants.
    The driver who cut you off in traffic.
    The person who barged in front of you when you were paying for your goods in the store or trying to get on the train.
    The person letting off the smelly farts at work.
    It was not Skerrit.
    Please consider your mental health.

    You guys are really sick ignorant people. Why do you all continue to spout so much garbage by blaming your political opponents for someone being viciously murder? Instead of encouraging people not to engage in criminal behavior towards each other’s. Making dumb as. comments with your political foolishness will not help people to conduct themselves in civility to each other. It’s a death of another young person. Show some decency and humility to the family of the deceased. Do you guys sleep well at nights? For heaven’s sake everything in life isn’t about you’ll dirty politics.

    Oh boy another murder? Another young man? More blood? I remembered during the 2014 Election Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, said at a Wesley DLP meeting that if you vote for UWP and Lennox Linton, the blood of Dominica will be on you. Well Lennox Linton and the UWP did not win but we keep seeing the blood of our young men shed all across the small island. Is this thing normal? I wonder according to PM Skerrit, on who Is the blood of Dominica now?

      @Red Cap, I don’t see the comparison pertaining to what PM Skerrit said and the murders which are taking place with the young people or through them, today. It is a completely different issue. This has nothing to do with politics!

      Dominicans need to turn away from their dark and wicked mentality and return to the God of Light, the Life of Love–if ever they were with Him–perhaps their minds will begin to become established in the thoughts of living, not that of killing or murdering; death, or dying.

    Keep playing politics and religion. Skerrit done sold Dominica to the Devil for the blood of all you sons. All you think is Lennox Linton and UWP all you keeping out but its the blood of your son’s paying for Skerrit’s deal with the Devi. It’s the blood of your sons that running on the streets of Dominica

    An Evil administration surrounded by Voo Doo people is a recipe for a curse on the country. Dominica is in a serious situation which it has never seen before. The disaster of hurricane David is a joke in comparison to what’s being witnessed by skeritt and the labor party. If they should steal the next election, then Dominicans could kiss Democracy goodbye.

    Where’s the outrage from the religious and political leaders in the Marigot community? This is the time to speak up and to call for unity, and for engagement of the young people in community. Silence and indifference will only lead to more violence. Time for Lennox and Carissa to get involved. It’s time for the leaders of the various churches to add their voices and to seek solutions to the problem of youth violence. Jobs and social interventions are needed.

      Leave Karessa out of your Mele’. It’s a blue on blue ting. Remember the doctrine of UWP during the election? Violence! Violence! And more violence! Lennox is their elected Parlrep. He should go and sort this s**t out in his constituency. His doctrine has come home to roost. Marigot deserve better representation.

    With this Skerrit-DLP led government, Dominica has the unenviable distinction as being branded a Gangster’s Paradise and a Criminal Playground.

        Thos comments coming from a hybrid human being who’s the World’s Brightest Dunce. Those choice adjectives that you frequently used to describe other fit you like a key fits a keyhole. I refuse to use retarded, mentally handicapped, brainless and senseless to describe you although you richly deserve all four.

        Go and take kindergarten classes. Learn to call and spell basic sight words like is,are, the, it, was, were,where, has, have, etcetera.

    The police should have a strategic plan in place to significantly curb these frequent murders. The CDPF acts more like a militia than a law enforcement organisation. They are very visible at every peaceful protest armed with the most sophisticated weapons and attired mostly in military fatigues.

    There should be a strong police presence in hotspot areas. Community policing should help the police with their investigations. People would be willing to give information about crimes they have witnessed if they are confident that their names would remain confidential. The number of homicides in recent times is unprecedented. Why?

    Incidents of corruption, murders, thievery, money laundering, fraud, robberies, smuggling of weapons and drugs , human trafficking, illegal entry are all skyrocketing. Is this just mere coincidence?

    DNO, can you ascertain the number of homicides that has been committed for this year? The public has a right to know.

    Omg! At a time like this people have no respect for the independence of their Country? That’s what happens when lawmakers and authorities is weak on the issues of crime not just talk but swift justice for the perpetrators of this disease murder. Killing your own in such a selfish manner with no regards for the sanctity of life. I understand that hanging may not be on the table for these crimes but the term “never to be released” is an option that will resonates well with grieving families. I can understand pressure, provocation and anxiety in society but it in no way equates the taking of a life. A horrible and senseless crime like this at this time is especially hurtful. We need prayers more than ever and more missionaries on the ground working with these community to bring about a sense of normalcy. The village of Marigot is such a great community, I spent a lot of time there in the past and with the International Airport proposed to be built close by is truly worrying. Stay…

      The churches have to be more involved, not just in the buildings on Sunday mornings like they are going to a Country Club. The churches should be for the unsaved. If the criminals come to church and dont dress like them they move away from them. Believers needs to go to the byways They need to show genuine love not hippocritical and stop being so religious show me the Spiritual side not the religious side. We are asking for missionaries are we looking at Haiti. We need to serve our own people be a local missionary. Sometimes the young people just need a hug let them know they are precious to God. We should get politics out of the way and stop haiting each other.
