    Ayeeeeee Dominique :( :( :( :( :( :( :( !

    The devil is at work overtime in our land using his designate Mr. Barzil to kill steal steal and destroy. Sadly, if foul play is the culprit them any accused that is well connected will get away. If you don’t believe me see what is happening in the Kalinago territory with the death of the young man? No arrest of the alleged perpetrator and his accomplices. When will the police do their work without fear of retribution from those in high office?

    May the deceased baby RIEP with the ancestors. God is good, not asleep and justice will finally find a way IF someone was really involved in your demise :twisted: :twisted: .

    Not a day goes by without something detrimental or unfortunate occurs on this once pristine island. Is the island cursed? The only profitable sector of the economy is the funeral business.

    The moral fabric of this country has been completely destroyed by lies and wickedness. We are now living in a post peace, love and empathy place.

    The unnatural death of anyone is heart-wrenching. But the demise of so.done so young the pain is unbearable. Life is so fickle these days. Today you are here and today you’re gone.
