as hard as things may be i will not steal to survive especially a cylinder…. i using wood instead
too many thieves in the land the law must step up.
all shall eat
we must learn not to condone wrong ,work already hard to find .it’s not a matter of things are hard or every man have to eat it’s a matter of being contended we must stop making excuses for people when they do wrong.
even if things are hard that’s not the best choice we need to set an example for others who look up to us.
As those people gas finish. Mayb they haven’t got coal pot.
Most people work for little money n evey thing so damn expensive in that country
cut their hands they too voleh!
you made me laugh
am really sorry to hear that Laboo,now you have lost all for all, after all these years with that company,real sad news.
So true. really disappointed in Laboo. I know things hard but thats no way to go about getting by.
We are all made differently. What I may smile about may send another to the mental hospital.
These guys had secure permanent jobs with a leading company, with opportunities for upgradinmg and promotion and they go and rob that same company of some cylenders. Shortsighted fools.
DNO, there are lots of news going on in the rural areas in Dominica that never get reported. Man allu need to send people out in Dominica to get news, not just in the city. A chen man
Quite honestly, I am appalled by the increasing crime in this country. It may be true that many are hungry, but on the other hand many are greedy too. These people were not hungry. They were employed for heaven’s sake.
I think that there needs to be a thrust to encourage young people to become entrepreneurs in the country. Then they will be meaningfully occupied, hence having less opportunities for these forms of mischief. We have heard it before that idle hands/minds are the devil’s workshop and it is showing in our country.
We can sit by and blame the government. They have their part to play but they alone cannot employ every citizen. When schools have their career day/week they need need to focus on self development, self-employment and creating employment. Rather than careers that depend on government employment.
stealing should not justify hard times. Life is hard all around the world not only DA. Stop making excuses for these bastards. I hope they rote in jail
They were trusted employees. Who did they plan to sell those cylinders to? Is it worth it losing your job for stealing. In especially a small place, all employers will know about them. How will they get a job in Dominica? Then some will complain there are no jobs for them. What will they do in DA after they probably are imprisoned and serve time? Will there be a second chance for them? People must think before they act.
gogo no sence that are these guys trade they are volle
Start robbery start happening on the island. Things are hard.Everything expensive and money tight.People getting frustrated. However, that does not give them the right to steal because everybody feeling the heat.
Unless u in the situation u aint no how tough it is. But it hard in labornica
Utter Rubbish! what about cooking on wood? its better than cooking on Gas,also what about going to the river to catch fish,crabs,or vio,and collecting empty bottles to make an honest buck? Weak people give up fast and look for other ways to make it at others expense so enough of your crap. Been there done that!
Cant imagine I would live long enough to read and listen to so much “BS” which have me smfh at the length at which some of our Dominican people reasoned and make excuses for those malcontent who go about committing crimes and destroying the life of other Law abiding citizens. MY messages to those who think its alright bare in mind,” HARD LIFE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BAD BEHAVIOUR” LOVE,LEARN,& GROW”.

Things hard yes, but ther can cook on wood like the old time days.And three of them that doing those wickedness.You shall not steal it is written.
Ahhhhhhhhhh My boys weeeeeeee, why u all had to do that??????
We all know the economy is bad but why steal from your employer when that’s where your bread and butter is coming from! THINK!
Way Papa!! Wat a ting! Just now people going to start stealing school books by Jays Bookstore! SMH!
you can see things hard in d country. everybody trying to eat!!
gogo u take dat from my lips,everyone tryin to make a bread,even those dat doin a ting,it just not enough to pay d bills,all see how laboo bring d country.
You call yourself ‘justice’, instigating and encouraging stealing? It is not justice to also disobey the Law of the land and most importantly of God, under no condition, “Thou shalt not steal.”
It does not make it OK to commit crimes if u have to eat. And these guys are employees I’m sure they were eating good.
having a job doesnt mean that they areeating good
Being employees doesnt mean they were eating good
Yes things hard, but that is not the way to go about it. Everybody feeling it, but nmot everybody going to steal.
Very Good Boy! I venture to say that it is not their fault but their habit. What about the other that trying to eat by honest means. Les ban voler qui yo yea.
So because things hard, steal from the very person that trying keep a business alive and provide you with employment? We are something else in that country
if they didn’t have a job, i would agree with you…………they were “employed”…… no excuse here
@ gogo
As long as we are alive, we are all trying to eat but we are not all stealing and have no intention of stealing the property of others.
when people don’t have any ting to say why don’t they just shut up!!!!!
When one has a job, he is expecting to eat, just to hang his hat where his hand cant reach, he is going to steal.I know that , that company will not employ him again after the case has been dealt with, so what is he going to do now, when he do not have a job? Things a surely going to get harder for them
Listen to the news and u will realize that things
are hard all over.IF u live overseas u can confirm that. Dominica is not harder than any other place Thank u very much.
Thieves, thieves, all over the island everybody want a quick fix, you cant turn your back before they rob you .
They need to give them more time in prison.
Martin boy, I hope you not in that.
