A physical altercation or fracas on the streets of Roseau or elsewhere in Dominica is by no means an unusual occurrence.
So a street fight near the Prevost Cinemall on Tuesday afternoon did not constitute breaking news (apparently, the two young pugilists were involved in a conversation that suddenly turned violent).
However, there were two interesting aspects of the incident. The first was the coincidental and timely appearance of the police on the scene which resulted in the break-up of the fight and the arrest of the two participants.
And secondly, although violence must never be encouraged as a means of settling differences, it was somewhat of a relief to see, as happens too often nowadays, the absence of guns or knives in the fight.
This would be an interesting story if it was written better but alas the ppl now at DNO are just a bunch of ppl who know nothing about writing much less news.
I seeing only one person being held by a police officer, it look like he was fighting with his own self. One person cannot fight though.
This seems more like a blog post than a national news piece. There are not any names and there is not a solid story. If you all want to have a blog section, choose one of your journalists to establish one. Otherwise, this is just distasteful.
Really my people? Are we so desensitized to violence that we think a fight is nothing to talk about? All violence is bad, had there been an escalation to this, and someone had been stabbed or suffered a “burst head” then we would be asking where was the Police. In this case, we should give plaudits to the Police for a quick intervention, and to DNO to report the story and show the positive actions of the Police. How many times have we seen Police in Roseau walk by and keep walking when they see an argument? These Officers responded quickly and quelled the disturbance, setting an example for all of us.
Dno,the police should have just been a referee and let them duel it out.
Is this really newsworthy, DNO?
Thank you
DNO is now De No-news Outlet
Awa DNO I don’t like that one. You too popular and we’ll respected to report that crap. There are much greater issue to report than that. People would like to know about the result of the case of Skerrit’s ambassador of see and land Mr. Zampolli and range development in the kempinski case. That is news worthy.
Good job DNO, those who are not interested in what is posted please don’t comment. Next time please show us the live action.
Really DNO? We got social media for this sort of thing. I guess you are now the version of a slow country’s tabloid news. Anything for clicks. SMH!
It seems is long you wanted to post something like that wi sir😂. One fight those people post chill out
Alright then. I was like WTF? Stupse.
It happened outside Prevost Cinemall aka UWP headquarters. That makes it newsworthy for DNO!!!
DNO post what you want, its news. those who have a problem with that go tell Skerrit we want Electoral Reform
