    It’s a damning incitement to the government when citizens have to stoop to robbing tourists to survive! Antiguans are paying taxes, yet get no benefits from their taxes like in the US, or even the welfare system in the UK, where the government pays housing and provides money to live on. This gentleman may be a career criminal as there are many, but more and more we are seeing people just giving in to the hardships and trying to make money for themselves the wrong way. We are even seeing our decent girls turning to prostitution to survive!
    Gaston, wake up and help your people! Use some of the CBI money to help the citizens get back on their feet after losing a job, or during an illness.
