    I think it’s unfair to target the Hispanic community for the actions of one or two individuals.
    In this case Peter cannot pay for Paul

    @Just soo.
    Can’t say I disagree with you at all. What really is the value they bring to our country? They do not readily integrate with the people whose space they are occupying. They tend to be excessively loud, indifferent to garbage build-up in and around their premises, and parade after hours at various hot mainly in and around St John’s. They clearly have friends in the Police Force and the immigration department. Question of the day. What greater value do these people bring to our shores than that of the West Africans who had a real need for political asylum but were rounded up and chased to a watery grave, just soo??!!

    The girl is Antiguan because she was born here and wherever she is from she should be punished with the death penalty. I don’t care if she is Dominican, Antiguan, Filipino or African, we want the death penalty.

    I’m very upset until I’m numb about the senseless and selfish killing of the child and think justice must be served.
    On the other hand if this young lady had won a gold metal at the Olympics all the time Antiguans would have claimed that she is one of their own. She was born in Antigua to DR parents so she is an Antiguan murderer.
    I also strongly believe that she is taking the hit for a lot of others involved including professionals

    I agree that u can’t blame all Spanish for the crime that one damass committed… The young murder should suffer like the princess did. She should be touched into bringing their association down.
