    There is too much evil in Antigua. Almost every day more evil happens are reporting than good. We need a week or month of revival in the country. Satan is being given too much ground in the country, especially through young people. Parents and grandparents turn from your wicked ways and pray for your children and grandchildren. Antiguan and Barbuda belong to Jesus Christ. He alone is Lord of the land. This also goes to me as a parent myself.

    Is this a new incident of a similar report made earlier? Do we have a serial attacker out there? I have lost all interest in and respect for this news source
