Too many violent crimes are in Antigua the government not seems to be tough enough on crime too many foreigners who are doing the crime and they need to be deported. Soon tourism is not going to be safe it's a national security for everyone on the island I believe both parties can work together to reduce the heanous crime Antigua is not used to drive by shooting rape and assisnation mob type killings. It's bad for tourism very bad. It could be any polition members of family could be affected by mass murders get rid of the foreign nationals who are doing criminal activities
