The country’s tourism minister says an attack on a German couple in Salisbury over the weekend is tantamount to treason.
48-year-old Thomas Caro and his wife Karen Gouber, 45, were hospitalized after being attacked with stones and robbed of their belongings in Salisbury over the weekend.
“The leading foreign exchange earner in Dominica right now is tourism and if nationals go around attacking the tourist then it speaks badly for the country. In this information age, bad news spreads in minutes and this is an attack on the economy. It is a crime against the state,” Tourism Minister Douglas said.
He added that such incidents could jeopardize the country’s ability to attract tourists to the island.
“These people are also jeopardizing thousands of jobs all around the country. This is not just an attack on two isolated tourists, you are really seriously attacking the economy in hard times,” he said.
According to the minister, Dominica’s ability to expand the economy and grow the tourism industry is also placed under pressure by bad publicity.
He has appealed for widespread involvement in ensuring that such incidents do not occur in Dominica.

Kindly post my original comment in response to Mr. Douglas hypocritical statement. It was sent it two days ago.
Thanks in advance
The Right Hon. Shameless
If you really hungry you can just go by the Bushrie in Bawi and break a coconut, washe a cane in macoucherie and chase dat with some water. Dominica is not yet a concrete jungle and will never be. Dem fellas just have vieux maniere pat vole. But then again wickedness in high and low places and some people want to live cheap and smell sweet.
Ordinary Dominicans are complicit in this crime wave with this money crazy any and everything goes, Dominicans used to be proud and hard working people who were welcome to work in other caribbean islands now very soon other islands will require visas for dominicans, the worst crimes against tourist in st maarteen was committed by Dominicans same story in antigua.
These ruthless elements are of no use to society it’s about time we begin to dispose of them. Actions like these can permanently damage the tourist industry here.
HUNT THEM DOWN BY WHAT EVER MEANS AND DISPOSE OF THEM.
mr douglas, isnt it also a crime against the state to try an murder a war vet and his wife who have served in the judiciay as a magistrate.
would like to know
i dont know what your issue is but from your comment it is obevious that its people like u who go around and commit such crimes or support such criminals so why not be bold enough to mention your name because u namesure is not forkit
Are you possessed or something?
when the law becomes more serious i think people will learn to respect the system… but since everything here is not taken so ‘seriously” everybody takes advantage of the system because they know how weak it is…………we need to establish extreme measure and stand by it!!!!!!!!!!!
Tantamount to treason…what crap is this minister talking about. This crime is despicable and should be punish severely but seriously…was this guy an attorney general; is this guy a minister? Innocent people are being murdered in Dominica which is worst. Talk with sense MR> MINISTER
I have been dreaming of coming back to your beautiful island for a couple of years now. I have been ill and have not been able to travel to Dominica, but I was hoping to bring my family with me on our next vacation. I was able to visit your beautiful country via cruise ship and have never forgot it. I knew that the next time I was able to visit Dominica it would be to stay on the island for a true Dominica vacation. I know that getting off a cruise ship for 5 hours is really not the the way to experience your country and I talk to my wife almost every day about Dominica and how I can not wait for her to see this beautiful island for herself. Reading this story is frighting and tell me, should I have second thoughts about coming.
please tell me what you think.
Yes I know crime happens every where, but when you spend your hard earned money you want to feel safe no matter were you go.
God bless Dominica.
Please allow me to respectfully attempt to reply to your concerns. Dominica is a very beautiful and generally peaceful island, that being said there is a wave that is spreading throught the caribbean and south and central america where crime is on the increase primarily because of drug use and also as the world gets smaller in this information age greed is becoming a larger problem because people are more introduced to materialistic things that they now desire and do not have the means to aquire. As a Dominican living in the U.S what I can tell you is there is crime all over so you need to take the steps(like you would anywhere) to protect yourself and your family,First make sure that you have a local with you at all times during your stay, this will not only add value to your experience but it will also provide security since the criminals wont feel so anonymous if there is someone who can identify them. Dont allow yourself to be confined to fear of the exploration of one of God’s greatest treasures because some thug decided that he does not want to work for what he needs, just be vigilant, and allow your local tour guide to assist you in the vacation of a lifetime. After all, there are people everyday enjoying the lush foliage and fresh water unmolested,You only hear of the unfortunate incidences and not to down play them but just allow yourself to enjoy what the nature island has to offer. God Bless you and your family.
Mr. Douglas, instead of just making statements of the obviuos, what we need from the authorities – government and the police, is a campaign to highlight the crime issue facing the country. That campaign should include encouraging people to report these crimes, knowing the information will remain confidential and the sources protected. The police should get out of the police stations and build relationships with the community so that people will be encouraged to tip them to anti-social activities. They need to let the criminals know they are being watched and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. They also need to focus their attention to more serious matters than wasting court time on frivolous cases that take the police away from the streets and tie them up in court on these silly cases.
Jobs jobs is not going to solve the rising crime rate nor is jail going too. capitol punishment hanging and execution will stop crime.
Our Chinese friends know this very well their police and intelligence agency find criminals and hunt them down. serious crimes are prosecuted and its jail or death. we are too kind to criminals and are weak in their eyes due to “human rights”! criminals should have no rights at all. if we need the Dominica Defence Force to stop crime if the police are too weak and ineffective. Dominica is a small island it should not be too hard to find rouge elements and eliminate from our society.
A commenter mentioned terrorist and Dubai example, this is how we should deal with drug dealers\arms smugglers. its a matter of national security i hope we have talk shows on this. rising crime is terrorism if a group of people commit acts against the citizens of a country and visitors to that country. I am open to all methods that can be given a green light by the government. we have CID aka Crinminal Investigations Department in the police, this should be run like a “real intelligence” agency aka spy agency with sole purpose is fighting crime with information sharing with International Police\INTERPOL and other crime agency. Dominica needs its own version of the FBI\NSA|CIA for crime since the police are 100% incompetent! I am willing to sacrifice a few freedoms to to reduce crime. We must fight the “War on Crime” from the petty thief to million dollar cartels who import drugs, arms into Dominica using any means necessary!
Police cannot protect me or my interests that is why i have 3 Hatian brothers working for me around the clock. come and mess with my home or my job and see if ants wouldnt come eat you.
While I like the fact that many people are speaking out against these socio-economic issues we are facing, my personal opinion is: talk is so cheap these days we (all parties included)) are excellent at talking and very ineffective at “DOING”.
We all know what the problems are (in part), but no one is really talking about the solution, which is quite symptomatic of our decaying culture.
If half our energy was put into solving problems rather than talking for a whole day/weeks and months scrutinizing the problems over and over, we would be well on our way of fixing up this country we claim to love.
I much rather talk about the possible SOLUTIONS that address the question , how do we deal with this, with as little fallout as possible? I would not want my personal freedoms restricted or violated in an effort to rid ourselves of this surge in crime. Think Trinidad and curfews as an example, nor would I want the police to have absolute power to search and raid my person without cause.
So lets talk, meet with the communities, go on a “against crime campaign”, start on the grass roots levels, establish crime watch groups in communities, set up secure lines for tipsters, The parliamentary reps on both sides of the fence must take a united front on this. Sometimes, we have to put politics aside and stand united on “Dominica” matters. These parle reps, and senior members of the law, the law enforcers, the government, must all demonstrate active involvement.This Issue has NO POLITICAL COLOUR. It affects is all,long term,and short term
We should be enforcing any available number of laws that protect not only tourist but us citizens as well. We do need to see a greater presence of police, we need to install public CCTV, we need to start dealing out very harsh and stiff penalties for those offenders, and we really need to build our communities again, instead of protecting the criminals we ostracize them.
Douglas and the rest of the government don’t have a clue as to how to govern. So as long as Dominicans are victims of these thugs, they turn a blind eye. Now that a tourist has been attacked suddenly it amounts to treason. Exactly what did they expect, that thugs and thieves would limit their activities only to locals?
Mr. Douglas and for that matter Mr. Prime Minister, if you had taken the time to protect your citizens from these thugs a long time ago when it started, perhaps you would not have to deal with this problem which is clearly now getting out of hand.
As I said in another post yesterday, this area has been plagued with break and enters of homes owned by the locals. This has been going on for years. It is only now that a couple of tourist have been severly beaten that they suddenly stand and take notice.
These problems have to be nipped in the bud as quickly as they arise and the government has to formulate a plan to stamp out these anti-social activities BEFORE they happen. These guys are too reactive.
DOUGLAS,
IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, THE FIRST THING IN CORRECTING IT IS TO MAINTAIN STRICT POLICE PROTECTION AT ALL OF THOSE TOURIST ATTRACTION SITES WHENEVER THERE ARE TOURISTS VISITING THE ISLAND. WITH ALL THE POLICEMEN ON THE ISLAND COLLECTING THEIR MONTHLY SALARIES BY DOING NOTHING, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUT THEM TO WORK FOR A CHANGE. TRY DOING THIS FOR THE CONTINUED FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY.
Douglas I know all of this. What I want to know is what is going to be done. You are qualified. You and Levi should sit and have some laws amended or created. Yes, my people it is as simple as that!!! As I said before arm yourselves!!!
You think laws alone will stop crime? Enforcement and successful presecution have to go along with laws.
As someone said, many times, the people in the community know who the culprits are but the do not report them because of fear, or familial relationships. I remember very vividly as a young boy, everybody in our village knew of a man who had molested a young girl, but nobody, including the girl’s parents reported the matter to the police. This was more than 35 years ago. I am sure she may still be suffering the effects of this molestation, but the guys is still walking free in the village. We must stop protecting these criminals.
the bombing of gon emmanuel’s house on that christmas day is a crime against the state and against humanity as well
Didier, the news started to spread already that DA is not protected and thieves all over the place, I can remember some years ago i visited my homeland, a nd there were two fellers who wanted to steal my bag, my sister had the time to tell me hold your bag tight,can you imagine the state DA is right now? My son went to DA once and they stole him,and he said never never again;and that’s just what he did,tourist must be protected, and i do hope that they find the person and give him the sentence he deserve!!!!
“They stole him”? That sounds so ridiculous. Looks like they brought him back or dropped him off somewhere so that he could sy “never again”. I hope there is no theft or crime of any sort where you currently live.
Seriously though, all of these acts are really despicable.
How Does Lougaoo Spells Crimes?
C; Chief Of P’ compromises his authorities.
R; Riddiculous rigging of criminial investiga-
tions that are associated to politically af- filiated elements. Due to——-
I; Individuals in high places protecting their
interests.
M; Mitigating circumstances used to avoid the
pursuance of crimiminal investigations. ie:
The Glen Emmanuel’s Fire Bombing, (Xmas2010)
E; Entire country is plagued by the ineptness of
the Police to carry out its duties. Compli-
ment, corrupt politicians
S; Safety and security of the citizens are jeo-
pardized, partly by the above.
Lougaoo Mem will always be concerned of the trend the country is heading. We must all assist the law enforcement officers to bring the criminals to trial and subsequent convictions. Remember, no one is above the LAW.
Correction; Ridiculous rigging; criminal investigations. You got the msg. Right?
Is an attack on a farmer treason also? Mr Minister enough with the hyperbole. Crime is becoming a problem in this country and must be addressed starting with jobs for the young men and women who remain idle. There is a correlation between lack of opportunity and crime. There needs to be greater success in your efforts( if any) to provide employment for the youth.
bushmainda
what nonesense you saying about lack of job, if a man going to steal or kill whether he have a job or not he is going to do it, there are people with job and yet they still involve with job, point plain those young men and women are just plain lazy and nasty and like the easy way out.
there is one “good” thing: These attacks on tourists will eventually stop. Reason: There will not be any more tourists!
Now guess who the next victims will be. After the tourists stay away, the criminals will hunt down normal citizens. Welcome to the wild west
Jail time is too soft. Such violators (terrorists indeed) should be singled out and made examples of, Dubai style.
Absolutely 100% agree you are right! That means hunting them down and taking care of the problem once and for all! I like Israel “Mossad” & “Shin Bet” who spare no expense and effort and means to go after terrorist and who are a threat to Israel national security which includes criminals. I am not for talking and rehab since it does not work! Criminals in DA have no fear, if we put fear in them that they can go to jail or something worse can happen when they least expect it to them. Its a deterent! Too much talk and no action in Dominica is the norm. Dominica needs a reward system for people, citizens who help in police investigations! its call TIPS say you pay $500-1000 or more for information, only pay when its validated and person in custody is the criminal.
Here we go again. The minister is blowing up a whole heap of steam. Are you making the law now mister Ian. You have failed to realize that the reason this is happening is because the Gov and the authority have failed to take the surge in violent crime seriously. Armed robbery in the day once a week, kidnapping every other week, murder and assasinations here and there and the list goes on. How many people get arrested, charged and sentence to long term imprisonment? Very few
well, the attack on tourist is the same as mentioned above and should not be seen as worst as attack on law abiding Dominicans. To call it treason is an over reaction and displays what is wrong with our leaders. They run there mouth without thinking. Treason against any country is punishable by death. Are you going to charge the culprits and punish them as such.
Lets be clear i do not condone any criminal activity however is not only when a tourist get attack that we should blow up steam because we are scared of loosing our income generator. The fact is violent crime in lovely Dominica has gotten out of hand and we canot protect our citizens nor visitors.
The laws in D/ca is too slack on those criminals. That’s why those thieves will continue to do their evil acts.
Ian corruption in govt is treason too, it enriches a few at the expense of the majority
This is becoming a habbit in the Caribbean. Supreme court Judge, Justice Stephen Breyer was robbed on the Island of Nivis the robber was armed with a cutlas. It is very sad.
things will always happen when we only give these crimanals a slap on the wrist.mr pal rep your own cousin was told to step down becuase he was punishing these crimnals to hard.,think about it dont u think he was doing a hell of a good job? these ppl should be locked up for years when they r caught. i hope and pray that they get all those lazy bastards that think its ok to just robbe ppl.time for justice for all the victims.
Ian that was weak, Show criminals that this type of crime is zero tolerance.
Let us find those involve and punch those bastards. Lets set an example so those who see tourist as easy money change, will say, its not worth it. if you care about you economy start by showing some action.
I live in the USA so I brag to friends at work and in my social activities where I am from.so they get online and search . . . .well my dear friends right now we are being placed in categories that in a few years there will be noooooo tourist industry to talk about!!!!
Treason- Well said…..don’t matter the age of the offender, they can be taken to the High court(even if sometimes its unjust) for the magnitude of the crime!
ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CRIMES AGAINST TOURISTS HERE!
now you talking…. stupzzz what about when the killed the hotelier in Marigot… huh? I did not hear you at all… you all need to start acting.. too much talk!
When we attack the tourist and trust me the word spreads like wildfire, then we will blame the PM for the state of the economy. We reap what we sow. I know most Dominicans are loving respectful people but some of the lazy traitors are selfishly seeking their own gain at the expense of the entire nation.
Stop being so “full of yourself”. Think about your neighbor and stop killing our own hope of a better life for our children.
May God help us.
You would think that the tourist industry is important enough to warrant the popular sites to be protected by the police or other security entity. They do it in Egypt and other countries, arm guards accompany the tourists everywhere. It is all about the dollars that tourism generates. Start thinking outside that box that we live in here in Dominica.
How foolish can you be?
Do really expect the Police to be everywhere, including ‘a well lighted path in Salisbury’.
Morons like you have no idea what you talking about.
Instead of comparing Dominica to other countries, ‘think inside the box where you live’.
Do you really believe escorting tourist with armed guards is the best for Dominica?
We need to make our guests realize that there is danger in Dominica to. We keep saying Dominica is a peaceful place, and for most part that is true. But at the same time, for our population, the level of crime is outrageous. Don’t let the people have a false sense of securit. Put warning in the ‘hot spots’. Like Hampstead beach which is very isolated. Project our visitors! A little leven can level the whole bread people. Invest in security cameras. Be proactive. Otherwise we will all lose to the idiots out there that call themseves ‘bad-man’.
over reaction. do you know how many tourist are robbed attacked killed etc in the US Britain etc. far more than the few incidents that have occurred in Dominica. Things like this happen everywhere. Just today one of the US judges was attacked in Nevis. Im telling you sick and tired of Caribbean nations putting themselves down for small isolated incidents all in the name of what western countries think. When western countries can get their crime rate as low as Dominica perhaps I will consider these few isolated incidents alarming
Dont be ridiculous!! We always prided ourselves on the safety of our island; why would you even think of comparing us to England & the US?
Anonymous, are you out of your mind? Those “western countries” don’t depend on tourism, for their economy to thrive! Please do not trivialise this. This is a potentially huge problem!
I fully concur.
Sorry but we are DOMINICA and NOT US or Britain. Time for ALL the good loving people of salisbury to get involved in this investigation and turn the person (s) over. Mothers, talk to your sons because there is someone other than the sorry perpetrators that know who committed the crime. Please do not allow them to spoil the good name of Salisbury. SELL-OUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nON SENSE
yOU CANNOT COMPARE THE SIZE OF DOMINICA WITH BRITAIN OR US !!
Anonymous,
I have read your comments, there is a big difference. Hence,The commonwealth of Dominica is a small island, in comparison to the U.S.A and Great Britain.
I love my island due to the fact that I was born and bred there and travelled to the UK as a young child. I always speak highly of my schooldays and growing up. I know time has changed and so do man. however that type of behaviour needs to be addressed.
I come home as often as I can to visit, however, in these recent rise in crimes that is taking place to be truthful I am a bit scared as I have a young family. All these should not even be considered because we need the tourists to come and visit our beautiful Island.
When persons like myself read this type of news do you think we want to pay all these hike in taxes to travel home and donot enjoy it due to what is happening?
Please my fellomen and women friends and family let us treat each and everyone as we would like to be treated. What we want for ourselves we should want the same for others.
porstmouth london
i understand when you said is a small island in compariosn to us and britain,
but they are crimes everywhere, and am not saying is right what those young prople doing but we Dominican to like to bring down our country we need to stop that, trust me i think you would be more safe walking in the street of dominica than in britian
So it’s ok then because it happens somewhere else too? It it is so safe here why does our leader find it necessary to go around with an armed guard 24/7 when he is in his own country? We need more police visibility, in uniform for the general public too!
thank you anonymous
Went to the hospital Sunday to visit someone and I saw the tourist lady when I saw her I asked her if she was in a vehicular accident cause of the type of wounds she had over her body.she said she was robbed by some ppl couldn’t believe that someone would brutalize these ppl so for their own belongings.all u them lazy and voler fellaz that doin that all u day will come and if ever I know who fo that I beating all u sick before I let police know is all u that do that. <>
no jobs for the young people to do what do we expect them to do? people gotta eat!! if things dont get better its all gonna get worst!……
I am a canadian who has heard alot about dominica. I have travelled extensively throughout the islands and know that there are islands with much more serious crime problems. I have been following the news on this site for a while because I want to bring my family on vacation to Dominica this summer. I am also considering buying a home in Dominica in the near future because of the unspoiled beauty.
Obviously the recent events of robberies and violence (against tourists) worry me.
It is very important that these unfortunate situations be resolved in a positive manner; with a professional investigation, a fair trial and a just outcome. Putting the first criminal that comes along in jail just to say we got them will not work (not that I believe Dominica would do that). Transparency and professional conduct in matters like these will not only help resolve these situations, it will also bring more credability to the country and assure tourists that Dominica is a place of integrity, not just safety.
In the long term, it is important for Dominica to address the underlying social issues that cause these unfortunate events, and as such, before they become too overbearing, scare tourists, and affect all of the good Dominicans who have worked so hard to build the economy and to preserve the pristine jewel of Dominica.
Respectfully.
(I still plan on visiting to Dominica)
You guys come out here and talk talk talk. Spend that energy to help us in Dominica. We have a lot of Dominicans that is into security and law enforcement all over the globe. Why don’t they come back to Dominica and help the cops and the Govt.
What’s going on in these islands? Just had a U.S Supreme Court Judge Stephen Breyer, robbed at his vacation residence on the island of Nevis by a machete-wielding criminal. Why are they hurting the islands’ major source of income, tourism?
Washington Post
Justice Breyer and his wife Joanna were robbed by a masked, machete-wielding man last week while on vacation in the West Indies, a Supreme Court spokeswoman confirmed Monday. http://wapo.st/zInqev

It did not happen in Dominica but its a perfect example of the current situation. Whenever these things happen the world will know.
Very bad publicity for the country. The perpetrators ought to be caught and dealt harshly to the full extent of the law. But such crime is definitely not tantamount to treason. Sorry Mr. Lawyer!
young men and women get work to do,stop hurting tourist and taking their belongings to go on the block and play heavy.some salisbury fellas known for that.say this with no apology
i am not saying is salisbury guys that did that but there is a posibility.
First, as a Dominican I would like to apologize to the persons hurt during this incident. I am one who is short on words and therefore I will get straight to the point by asking this question. Do we want Tourism to continue to become a major revenue generator, or do we talk when there is an incident? We need to be proactive by having the following in place:
1) Beach patrol particularly during the tourist season posted at strategic location of the entry/exit to serve as a deterrance/quick response team.
2) We need to have better coordination between the police and hoteliers per there occupancy on a daily basis especially in areas of high risk such as Hampstead etc to help them plan their approach to avoid depleting resources.
3) We need to have a meeting called by the government to include the PM, Tourism MP, Attorney G,MP for National Security, opposition,Hoteliers etc, Police High Command and tourist on island/living/making Dominica their home to plan a strategy.
In conclusion, if Tourism is that important how difficult is it to mobilize to address this issue especially before it is to late. I am just tired of all this talk-shop solution, so let us get up and do something.
When police hold their, they should unleash some police brutality on them, see how their friends and family will bawl on that
Crime has to be dealt with from the TOP first. People listen, the top can be rotten for the bottom to be anything else but also rotten., Face it!!! DNO you can not publish that if you like, but it is all that apathy and denial that have Dominica how it is now. Get rid of the ROTTEN head and clean up the country!
In my opinion these guys should be placed behind bars for life be it small or big incident….something needs to be done NOW with these criminals.
Ian Douglas, here you are again making a fool of yourself, I wonder where you got you law degree from?
You make some very stupid comments which should be beneath the intelligence of a government minister!
Are you the one who was once attorney-general of Dominica?
If so no wonder, because while you were playing attorney-general I gave you a message to convey to Mr. Skerrit, regarding a Hollywood movie producer, and director who I influenced to make Dominica a venue for her annual film festival, you told Skerrit nothing, thus Dominica lost out on a once in a lifetime opportunity.
It is so disappointing to read the crap, and stupid comment you make, how can you call a crime committed against a visiting tourist treason?
How do you define treason?
Let me give you the definition of treason; which is: ” the betrayal of trust,” call it treachery, and I believe it is your treachery, why you did not relay my message to Skerrit.!
Treason is an offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance, or to kill or to personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign’s family.
The crime against the Germans, is a felony, it your responsibility to leave no stones unturned until the culprits are found and put away for life for the attack on the visiting tourist.
I advised before to think before you talk, you have yet to heed my advise, and I would hope by now you have done something to help the man in your village of Portsmouth living in the cage as an animal feeding on his feces, take of that and let the police catch the culprits who attacked the people.
I hate that had to happen to them, or any tourist for that matter, German’s are nice people, Lived in Cuxhaven Wet Germany, and never once encounter a single person who was not nice to me, it is a shame that for a few messily dollars the scum’s of the earth in our country had to treat these people that way.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
HANG THEM HIGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need to make an example from one of these persons who dooing that, don’t just jail them, humiliate to the max. Tie them on the bay front with a sign next to them saying “I assulted a visitor now I’m paying for it, slap me” ask each tourist who pass to slap them accross the face. See how many peopl ewill try that again.
Let’s get serious. Government or business leaders or both need to put up a financial reward for information leading to the arrests of the criminals. Perhaps $10,000. Criminals do talk. We can catch these people. Why rewards for these crimes? Because tourism is the lifeblood of the economy. If it dries up where will we turn? Bananas?
Isn’t that same that was saying crime come’s with development, and now he singing for his surper i tell you what becareful with the words that come from our mouth, when it was portmouth and the killing he was on a different level but look how he is talking all because of salbury but you won’t touch them, you making me sick with your speach,and 2 side mouth.

I hope when the police find them they dont let them reach in the court.officers deal with them in some bushes some where.
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HANG THEM HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And when the police do that, all you will come out and say Police brutality…..right?
Please dontt advocate police brutality. You cant commit a crime a solve a crime. Should the police follow your advice then everyone will soon forget the real victims and start screaming police brutality.
What about the individual who come on here pleading that something be done in the calibishie area also….there are lots of attacks on tourist in area…so it is said
And another happened in the last day, with a rape at that! This is so so sad, and scary. I think we need to do some damage control, this is getting out of hand.
Treason good start, keep the momentum on this message. this is why i support the formation of a unit called dominica intelligence service whose primary job is national security! fighting crime from the small petty thief, to the large organized crimes like drug smuggling and arms smuggling, piracy (robbery against yachters in Dominica)! this should be the goal, I would like all actions and resources we have to fight crime. this crime is an act of terrorism, we don’t have to go to Afghanistan or Iraq to find terrorist, we have them right here under the guise as rapist, thugs, murderers, drug & arm deals. like I said before jail is too mild for these people we need to reinstate capitol punishment. we need to put fear into these people not do do crime, like police raids and use of capitol punishment, all actions sanctioned by the government to use whatever means to eliminate crime. we need new managment in the police force to have new strategy and techniques to fight crime. more police patrols and better criminal prosecution.
some say i advocate for a police state, if it brings back law and order i am for it.
Well said Secure. I think that beefing up and re-training the CDPF would be sufficient. Other than that, it’s up to the hearts and minds of the Dominican people in tolerating such barbaric acts.
the lions aint attractive either n u all place dem makes me feel lik3 i live in china n not da
Seriously, i’m not for no sides… But you are quite dumb if your still talking about dam lions after such a brutal crime, moron.
Isn’t there a lion on the Dominica Coat of Arms? Take a good look.
What have you been smoking “granbarian”? Stop talking gibberish. You are making Dominica sound like a backward place.
jeeeeeeeze! all u people do is talk talk talk! NO ACTION!!!!!!!!
Dominica bestiality?
In two weeks what was happening in Dominica?
I got 2 French customers attacked in escalier tet chien by an Indian, but the woman screaming; the thief left running.
I heard that two people got tied on a tree in Hamstead beac h not far from Calibishie beach and got stolen from everything.
2 Germans got beaten with stones in Salisbury with strong injuries.
But you the stupid arrogant thief don’t you think you do it for something???
You do it for small money, maybe 80 ec$ (3o us$) and a stolen camera that you can sell for more than 20 ec$ because you don’t have the cables to reload it.
Dam you are stupid because for little money you can finish your life in jail. Don’t you know that if you work peacefully two of your miserable life days you would win the same money with proud?
You give reputation to Dominica and “ IF” tourists don’t come no more, all of your brothers, all of your parents are going to suffer. They will not have more money to survive but maybe because no other choice they would have to steal “YOU” too, the stupid selfish thief.
I’m ready to publish that all over the world if nobody in power is taking his responsibilities and acting, meaning the police forces.
