Where you see Saturday? In that story John, did you see Saturday? I can’t read to good I’m an elder. But I want to ask you if your saw Saturday
Yes, fet them off the streets. I hope the others who are planning to go down the same road think before striking. The jail over crowded already. 15 men in a cell so they can go on. Good job, offiers and civilians.
Police always late in everything. CHUPZ
Pull them down one by one! And I hope you guys deal with that 30 Year old very well! How can a community help in shaping the future if guys like you are taking the youths on robbery? I can’t imagine what would happen to Antigua after Gaston Browne move on! May not have any prime minister
Grateful no one was hurt, but our communities can’t live in fear.
It appears like that’s what they want to instill the spirit of fear among the hard working people
Is it that our people are hungry and broke? Or is it that they are lazy and willful? Let’s decide. Sending them to jail to get them out to repeat the same thing is not exactly solving the issue
