    A country is judged by how it treats its vulnerable citizens and animals. Antigua doesn’t fare well on either count.

    This story says a lot about society. When someone has nothing, they make desperate choices. We need more shelters and food programs.

    Yes, punish the man, but we also need to look at what driving these crimes….. unemployment, frustration, and poor choices. Antigua need more positive outlets for people

      Why did you arrest him? He should be in claurevue or reunited with his family. Clearly the man is out of his mind. I can’t stand stupidness

    We need a shelter and rehabilitation program for the homeless. Locking them up won’t solve the root problem.
