An incident, which occurred earlier this afternoon, on the corner of Great Marlborough Street and Independence Street, has left a man, believed to be Donaldson Popone, in police custody.
Popene, according to eyewitnesses, was seen arguing with a sound-system operator, who would only refer to himself as ‘Hanif’, on the same corner moments before the two began fighting.
After initially hurling verbal insults at ‘Hanif’ over a song that was playing that he disliked, Popone proceeded to throw missiles in the direction and vicinity of the sound system.
According to ‘Hanif’, the resulting scuffle was broken up by police and perhaps due to Popone reluctance to adhere to the guidelines of the police, he was arrested and taken, bleeding, to the police lock-up
It is claimed that ‘Hanif’ walked down the street and warned a police officer of the man’s attitude and conduct. Realizing that Popone was about to pick up more bottles to throw at him, ‘Hanif’ acted quickly and hit him in the head with a stone.

Those are the guys that need a serious arse whopping by the police. This one was smart enough not to resist even if he think he is a bad man. His time coming too. Somebody will daycarlay him one of those good days and he will go quiet. Its only a matter of time.
Speak peace, peace my son. The Lord wants us to be at peace with our fellowmen and to pray for our nation so we ourselves will be at peace. Speak life with your tongue. The tongue can speak life or death. Choose this day whom you may follow the Prince of Peace or the Prince of Destruction. Let the Lord Judge. What you say the Lord has too much on his account – Well he never asked that we do anything for him and he is ausome. He s great and Mighty. Ezekiel 18 tell us about our personal responsibility for our sins and we should watch and pray. We are quick to judge but we seem to forget that we were all born in sin. He is patient with us and we need to be patient with others and bring the words to them and if they ignore then the Lord will what he has to do when he has to do it. We should reprimand but not judge – correct and give Godly advice.
Skerrit Fault!!!
People must be respectful to others………when you fail to do so take what you get!!

IT`s just the begining of what is to come let no one take those small incidence as minor and not realized that we are siting on a time bomb so to speak” but the real thing will soon hit Dominica hard. THATS NOT A THREAT” my people. To my Brothers and sisters in authority now is the time to start a massive quality of life sweep of the entire country to send a clear message to all those involve in breaking the laws of our beautiful Island that the full force of the law will be applied. I am not an alarmis but lets be real the pot is boiling and boiling real fast please do something to stem the tide fellow Dominican I do not want to say “I TOLD YOU SO!” I hope I am wrong for the sake of my beloved Dominica. I will be watching.
Really DNO, really….
NO news in Dominica or what? Just to repoort a “fracas”
Stupes!
Doesn’t the man have the right to play whatever type of music that suits him? What the heck is wrong with these people? Mr Hanif has every right to defend himself and his property against such hooligans.Next time be sure to mash up his grill completely
so just now some people will even beat u when they see wat u eating
we can always rely on a stone to help us out in a fight
wat is goin on with some pple now adays….
aint the man free to play wat he want even if it does not suit ur style…Take wat u get ….
Maybe they learning these behaviors from their leadership? Monkey see monkey do!
Hope no one is learning from your behaviour of being disrespectful. I do hope you have no siblings, children or other neighbours who look up to you. Then use your mouth wisely so they will imitate the specch of wisdom from you. Take heed that out of the mouth comes life and death and we must be respectful to our fellowmen.
In this case perhaps it is a matter of style. But many persons are blasting un-editied songs all day and ppl and thier children have to pass that day in day out. I dont mind Dancehall, Reggae, Zouk< Hip-Hop whatever..but have some discretion…#thatisall
I quite agree. Having lived in JA for a number of years and that is where dancehall was born, their Broadcasting Commission clamped down on radio stations playing hardcore songs and even bleeping out was a no-no. Then the authorities turned to cleaning up the music in the minibuses. There is a time and place for everything – we have to be mindful of what is happening in public space as we are not alone
Wa shit I hearing.man can play any music he want da man.
Yes I! Wild wild west!
Good let those who think they badder than bad let them pay.Fan boda yo.
My mother always used to tell me, “who cannot hear must feel”
