    At 5:00pm here in Antigua it is still day light. That area is very busy around that time of the day. People are going home from work either on foot, bikes or vehicles. Someone should have saw something and came to that young lady rescue. My question: who are the parents for these young men that are causing havoc in our little beautiful island of Antigua and Barbuda? Again, Who are these parents? The Bible speaks about the sins falls from the fathers down to it next generation. Are these the sins from the fathers that are being manifested in our world today through their offspring?

    From my indoctrination in church and cat home, the men involved are God’s children. Therefore I believe you ought to blame God. Nothing happens without his approval that was preached to me in sermons. So think again before you cast blame on the father’s of these men who have committed this heinous act. It’s not for any of you to cast stones.
