    If most of these young men were to be gainfully employed in good paying jobs, the high rate of these brazen robberies will be significantly diminished.

    The country needs a reset. It needs a people centered government, equity and equality in the distribution of the national resources, a healthy respect for rule of law, an end to political victimization and division. Those are but a few well need changes that could see Dominica fulfil its greatest potential.

    The police ought to know how many HRVs there are on the island. that will narrow the search considerably.

    Melissa Skerrit is urgently required to address the NATION.. In her address she needs to call upon all snipers, navy seals and soldiers to stop intimidating, killing and terrorising the people. She need to apologise to Dominicans for her loose tongue and her careless, carefree statement…Will she do it? I doubt. Shekira did ask all Dominicans to deliberately break our law also, by entering the country backdoor, front door, pipwi, swimming, etc, at election time to facilitate Skerrit’s election rigging. She has never apologised.
    So this is a ROGUE regime, posing as a government, and those gunmen know that!!

      The chickens have come home to roost. The words of a parliamentarian who has powerful influence in government have grave consequences.

      Snipers, navy seals are closely associated with assassinations. Since Melissa claims she has both, these people carry out clandestine activities outside the rule of law. I assume with no money coming until a next election cycle for them, the navy seals, the snipers, ad the foot soldiers are now turning their guns on the business places.

      Melissa should be bruising her knees and ask the country for forgiveness. Roosevelt should also be held accountable for the dire economic state of the country that is fueling these blatant robberies and heinous murders.

    In dangerous times like these, the country need firm leadership, to allay the fears of the citizenry. Skerrit, the Starboy of Stupidity told the world that he run things in Dominica. Additionally the country knows that he is the Minister of Everything. The question is why has he abandoned the people, including the labourites he hoodwinks every 5 years to help him STEAL general elections.. From his buffoonic utterances everything that happens on island is attributable to him. Therefore, he is the cause… Finally, his wife also need to appeal to those snipers, navy seals and soldiers to stop those violent attack on the people. Dominica is indeed in a terrible state, and it’s all because of the Starboy of Stupidity..

      Well said! No honest person should even attempt to refute your argument. Indisputable!

        I am honest and, I do intend to refute that foolish argument. It is all politics as usual for both you and Meme. Your fight against Skerrit will soon come to a bitter end for you. Crimes are everywhere and happening everyday in this world. In big Advanced America with all the technologies you can think of, murder continues, kidnapping continues, robberies continue, hijacking of personal vehicles continues, stealing kids away from their loved ones continues. You name it, it is all happening in America. Who told you that small Dominica is immune from all the ills that is happening in other parts of the world? You would be a fool to believe so. There is no way where Ugly Lennox Linton and Thomas Fontaine can fix the problems of the world today. They cannot even fix their own personal problems let alone the problems of the world.

        Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 2 Thumb down 7

    Dominican business owners need to invest in surveillance and security detection cameras to protect their businesses, and to aid law enforcement authorities in capturing criminals, and bringing these thugs to justice. The funds invested in these technologies will overtime pay for themselves in combatting crime, and reducing similar incidents.

      Great comment. We need more sensible people like yourself to post solutions instead of all the political nonsense some people choose to write.
      This is an article about a robbery yet someone feels it necessary to write rubbish about navy seals.
      Keep up the good work of offering solutions to Dominica’s problems.

        None of the comments are political nonsense. All are truthful reflection of the decay that is part of our system. Do you belong to the ruling regime who don’t care a dam?

        Leave people’s comment alone. There is a reason why they hurt you. Could very well be you like the status quo as it is, so you get irritated when it is exposed. Are you one of those bleeding the country dry?

      Every time workers incompetent supporters comes on DNO, Facebook, and Q95 I could smell Whiskey and Gin, on their breaths from where I am, my life these people so-called workers expertises are out of this planet.
      Diaspora, or Diarrhoea which ever it’s to write such crap,
      surveillance Cameras sometimes help stop criminals but not fullproof take for example London, USA, Europeans
      citys does it stop criminals noway, some people always find ways to take what you work hard for, I/we meaning our business has been through it even your own employees are in with it as well.
