    Oh Yeah
    Thank God they were not shot at with a shot gun as was found in the Loubierre incident .
    This could have been fatal , and only to be fined a meagre sum for the possession of illegal fire arm.
    that fine could have been paid immediately i’m sure, if he really wanted to .
    The justice system needs to do better that that . Send the right message if we want DOMINICA to APPEAR to be safe again .

    Just imagine. All types of people throughout Dominica have guns and masks to utilize for attacking their fellow people. They bought them from someone/somewhere. This makes Dominica a relatively unsafe place.
    One never knows when these scoundrels will strike. All Dominicans will have to arm themselves against those thugs. This is why, if caught, they must bear the full brunt of the Law. Keep them incarcerated for they are a menace to society.
    These people must be put away since they are not able to keep the peace, live in peace with their fellow people and allow law-abiding people to live in freedom and peace.
    One day you criminals will pay for your actions. God is watching you from above and taking note. Fear for eternity in Satan’s cauldron of everlasting fire. This is where types as you will go to.
    People of Check Hall, Massacre and other parts of Dominica, escalate your worship and prayers that God will relieve you from those types of people.

      face the facts seek facts first,people don’t just attack people so,where there is smoke there must be fire,these guys are involved in someway or the other,could be drug related,could be retaliation,could vengeance,could be a robbery on one another you never know,but someone know but people don’t talk,so these little skirmishes will always pop up,my take is what you sow you reap,so let them kill one another,good riddance for decent people.

        Shut your. If you don’t know anything close your deriere. This was not drug related. Just a case of plain old jealousy and mask or not we are aware who the perpetrators are and hope the police do their work properly and even in the event they don’t babalen still works very well.
