Antigua.news needs to do better with attaching pics to their website stories. Why post the pic in the thumbnail that directs people to a website that doesn’t have the pics?

People need to understand that labor means work, lets come together and do something for the communities and stop the foolish wilding out on labor days
My point exactly. People miss the basic things and jump to the ghetto. Foolish people. Yes condolences to the family but I hope this sends a message to those who feel its all about revelling
Sorry that she died. Some people die before their time because this could have been avoided. Winking up. Twirking. Tryng to get unto a truck wheb it is moving
I feel so sad for her son to have witnessed this horrible event.
This may taunt him for the rest of his life
It is really sad indeed especially for that child. He must be heartbroken to lose his mother in such a manner.
