when mr tiyani beyanzin had them behind bars they had everything to say including his learnered friends.now the same guys on bail committing the same offences they were placed behind bars for.does that make any sense to you..
No one else will get robbed in Possie again. I will take them out. Them police don’t want to step up their game. Well, as a citizen it is my civic duty to protect my brethren. I will do it alone. Possie is going to be that nice town again. Fear not, I will also leave clues to the next missing person. The same movie they watching. I am watching them also.
Very angry!
since u made that comment there has been so much robberies n shooting..did u go to sleep n never woke up.hahaha well if u cant do it alone ma boy organise a community watch programme.get everyone involved..
pray for portsmouth
Every dominican should carry a gun or have one in home and business to protect themselves,hard working people should not have to be subjected this kind of crime.i say KILL THE BASTARDS.
MY REMEDY FOR THIS CRIMINAL PROBLEM IS THE THREAT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CANE(SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD) ESPECIALLY TO BE ADMINISTERED BY A FAMILY OF THE VICTIM. WE AS A PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE PAIN. OVERNIGHT CRIME WILL STOP.
I DO NOT LIKE VIOLENCE, BUT SOMETHING DRAMATIC WITH MEDIA PUBLICITY HAS TO BE DONE
AND PLEASE IGNORE THE PROFESSIONAL DO GOODERS(JOBKEEPERS)
This is a brazen act. My uncle and cousin remain traumatized. I pray that the criminals are caught QUICKLY before someone else get robbed and possibly hurt.
a lot of the unemployed youth are just too lazy. were too lazy to work hard at school. then too lazy to go do manual labour when they can’t get office jobs with their zero qualifications.
We like to place all the blame on somebody else. Shame. Man/ woman has his her choice. Free will. NO JOBS in Dominica are you serious? I see the Haitian nationals proudly going about their business things are so bright the wives stay home and the men work (in some cases).
Man that robbery cannot be excused. Don’t worry GOD is the ultimate police. And no curse will fall upon Portsmouth for the evil men and women.
Cover yourselves in God.
In the wake of Hurricane David Dominica changed.
Dominicans started thinking of freeness and handouts.
I myself need a gun cuz i do the same job as those guys from springfield that got robbed at 1:50 in the afternoon high sun.What i suspect those guys knew wat time those guys usually go by king in possie,so they waited for them and did wat they planned to do.But its time they give us those sales people somting to deal with those thieves dats out der.Thank God they did not hurt those guys cuz they had a long gun and a short gun.Those kinds of jobs are not safe at all.I myself left possie well early on friday.And u know sometime those employers aself want you to go in all kinds of holes in the country but i myself when somting happen to me nobody not going and take care of my child for me.First ting they will ask about is their money,but if anybody come and hold me up i myself asking them if they want d truck too cuz i myself dnt want anybody to kill me for money/.Jeremy and ur handy man u guys have to say thank God dat u gguys are steal alive cuz im doing the same job as u guys and it not easy being out there.

@Dominican genius!
What message is that! The kids are on the block because they want to be on the block. They were sent to school and did not want to learn so they are on the block so don’t try to blame someone for that. My father started to work from 14 years, raised a family of more than eight children on his own. Yes he did farming cause that’s what we have farm land. The Haitians come here and are doing farming whilst our young ladies and men are on the block smoking weed and prostituting themselves.
They still have a chance because their are places where they can go learn a trade. But they just think someone owes them but it doesn’t work so. These youth need to show interest in themselves before someone do. We have computer classes, mechanic shops eg in Dublanc and I’m sure there are others; even sewing; find something.
i want the police to hole him and send him in jail for are 100 yaers not in my place his comeing na we do not want crime in dominica and all of dominicans we nid to send him jail we just start a yaer all u want crime to start it not rigt
After today I will not agree with anybody saying Dominica has no work.
Six months now we are trying to get an electrician and a carpenter and someone to tile to do a project. One came we agreed to his rate he started well he worked the first week, got paid then he say he have home problems we have not seen him since. The carpenter came he said he dont want to work by job he want to work by days. We agreed to his rate, bought all the materials he came started, even left some tools behind and is yet to return.
and i know quite a few people who have had similar experiences. they have jobs to do but cannot find someone to do it. Then when we settle for our Haitian brothers people complain.
There is work in Dominica, some people just prefer the easy way out. they prefer to rob and steal or go the drug way.
what happen to by thy sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread!!!
God bless Dominica
When children leave Primary School at age 15,
where do they go? on the BLOCK
WHen children double and threble at Secondary Schools,
they throw them out, where do they end up? on the BLOCK
When young teenagers get their babies, leave them with Granny
and go to Guadelope, St.martin, Antigua… to work ….
They end up on the BLOCK.
Most kids start to work at age 15 ..16 for their life.
Thats is where we have most of the problems happening today.
If you really want to prove what am saying, take a drive.
Just start Marigot to Calibishie ,on the BLOCK 44.
If not on the BLOCK, in some COZY corner gambling.
Morning , noon and night.
The young people need guidance in their early age or eslse….. stab, murder
thief…
Feel bad for the young man. Those who commited the crime, will only
say that they are going to spend some time in the ‘REST UP’
wen u catch these sons off a guns straight up cut there bloody hands off wit a rusty dull seasoned cutlass
poor people fed up.they hungery or just plain wicked and rude.
These events are a bad start to 2010
