    It seems like soon we will have more shootings than the U.S!
    The politicians and the police are to be blamed.

      We dont even have more people than a small rural county in the US, so your point is impossible. Unless everybody shoots each other a few times. people say all we have is 45,000 people now.

    So who is behind the investigation? Please don’t tell me is Inspector Mills, who is the political voice of the DLP aka The Skerrit Family Party, because all Inspector Mills can do is call Q95 to defend a very corrupt Skerrit.

      Dominica doesn’t have a police force anymore but rather a private militia for Skerrits benefit!

    police like to say where in PMH the victims are recovering. . saying the victim is in the hospital is enough. remember this is a police case and policemen are not the ones who are there with the victim.

    Jungle justice we dealing with. As the old testiment said an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. If your your enemy right hand offends you then you cutt it off. Many more will drop to the ground. U live by the machine u get laid to rest by the machine

      An eye for an eye could eventually leave the country with all blind people. Be careful of what you wish. You could very well be among the statistics of the deceased. Bullets do not discriminate, they are not selective.

      Poor people governor I know of no such thing as if your enemy right hand offends you cut it off..how about your own right hand should it be extra dangerous baggage to you cut it off, the same goes for your eyes and feet. And so, those that are taking up the gun,the knife,the cutlass or any other thing that would harm another and subsequently that person or persons get in trouble, those are the ones that need to do the cutting off of hands,feet plucking out of eyes..Eye for an eye tooth for a tooth.. that was..Feed your enemy give him drink and GOD will do the rest and trust you me HE does do the rest.. that is
      If folks would follow GOD’s principles ,and not yours,cut off their own hands and feet, pluck off their own eyes when these members are taking them places that they need not go the world would be a much better place..
