    • Police officers are busy giving tickets and boasting on social media about how much money they making, while people are being shot stabbed and killed. Yet they cant catch these persons. They are now begging for the general public for help in catching the Criminals. So sad. Set of Lame Ducks.

      • The police are afraid of the criminals. These criminals are more armed than the police with updated advancements in firearms. Remember, most police officers are on the streets working without weapons.
        This attack on the group of people was satanic behaviour. Satan is using our young men because his time is getting shorter each day. A lot of our young men already sold their souls to the devil. They don’t know how to deal with conflict among themselves. God’s ways are to make peace, ask for forgiveness, move on, and allow God to fight your battle—the young need to start listening to God’s voice instead of Satan’s.
        My late mother and grandmother used to say that people use events like carnivals to settle and solve conflicts.
        The head of the police and ABDF need to update their crime-fighting strategy, especially during events like carnival. Instead of pushing down an intoxicated young lady in ARG, they should be undercover or in plain clothes in the hotspot areas around Carnival City. Get our best sharpshooter policemen and women out there dressed undercover mingling among the people in the hotspot areas.

  13. The island is lawless.

    Too much corruption. The police don’t care so long as they are getting free drinks and food from local bars

    One day a tourist will be shot or killed and the USA or Uk or Canada will stop tourists from visiting. Then and only then will the very corrupt police and MP’s do something but until then there will continue to be murders and nothing will change

    Such a shame for such a beautiful island
