    What about the Law enforcement Officers who have to work 17 hours. Some do and some don’t. This is a hot spot but yet this area is not catered for. You see them at 5 pm and you pass back there at 9 next morning and they are still working. How do we expect these Officers to be healthy and perform with all the workload that they are getting it has to be tough.

    Another stella production. Its shocking that these communities are hot spots with a BIG police station in the community. Does it mean that these criminals aren’t concerned about the police presence? Because I would think that the station being there would deter them. Clearly it isn’t.

    Crime is not associated with grays farm alone. They single us out because we are flying rough. We dont play. We dont take shit. Also we are not rich. We are poor black people children who have to survive everyday. We were raised ruff of we live ruff and in some cases we die ruff. Life is ruff

    The title ‘Community in Crisis’ is a powerful and accurate description. This isn’t just a police problem; it’s a societal one that requires a serious, multi-faceted response from all of us.

    I understand your concern; however, many do not no of the incessant war that began in heaven and spilled down to planet earth. Who is behind the criminal activities? You are correct. Isaiah 14; 12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-15 and Revelation 12:7-9. Satan.
    Will God stop it? Revelation 20:10; Revelation 21:4 yes. Now: teach them to love God’s law. John 14:15. Then: Jesus will come. Matt. 24:44.

    You guys are always on point. I love the vibes. I come here everyday to see what video you guys have next. Also I love the lady’s voice. You guys rock! But I have an observation…villa also has a high crime rate and the country’s leader is the PM. I wonder if there is link.

    Grays Farm is where I’m from, born and raised. Since I was a kid running around in brief I’ve known the ‘ghetto’ as we call it to be a melting pot of crimes. Thing is, is it the community or is it the people? Grays farm will always be singled out because we don’t have fancy homes or even fancy supermarkets and all that. But we can make it better. We are to be together forever. But it’s just for us to fight towards that decision. We need a change, but where will it start?

    The hotspot is on Antigua news. lol. There’s always a powerful pressing video story. Often wait to know what’s next. Anyway, The Grays-Green Community, which consists of both Grays Farm and Green Bay has always know for crimes. Over the years it only gets higher and now youths are involved. It’s not different from point or Villa. It’s two ghetto places where “people don’t know how to be civilized”. The police cannot do it alone, neither a mother or a father. It takes a society that wants to see change. We need our youths to be positive futures and not just throw their lives away! In a world so cruel, violence is all they know. Sometimes the violence can be a result of bottled up pain. I pray for our youths! We need a day where the country shuts down and we just pray n fast as a nation!

    Living in a community doesn’t mean you have to get consumed by its negativity. I know it may be easier said than done but we all gave choices
