  1. It was Baldwin “ASHE LIED” Spencer who encouraged the people of this country to

    “SHARPEN U CUTLISS BACK AND BELLY. CHAP DEM UP!!!”

    • YOU REAL BACK AH DI CLASS DUNCE. So you skip the most recent utterances of GASTON CLOWN telling people he go tump them in dey face and pull a piece of the sentence by the HONORABLE DR BALDWIN SPENCER (when he so eloquently spoke of rejecting more TAXES saying to figuratively sharpen ya cutlass when the taxman come) from so long ago??? Gaston who is “so loved by the youth” was being a nasty vicious VIOLENT VAGABOND less than two months ago yet you target THE GENTLEMAN HONORABLE BALDWIN SPENCER??? Ya na hab no tummuck tall tall tall… btw u tap cuss bout Tessa or just for now??? Mi sick ah u

      • The 19 year old was charged for the incident at the Clare Hall Secondary school. Instead for people to be happy that the culprit was arrested and charged, they coming up with all sort of rubbish making it look like he did something right. Confront the issue at hand and trash him out so that other gang members will be scared of entering another school. Leave the politics out and stop supporting wrong. When convicted, I hope he get 18 months in prison with hard labour.

        • I so agree with you. We want our roadsides clean……shakkle them up and put them to work. Let’s see how fast they change their ways…….

          Its so sad. Everyone says it takes a village to raise a child, but the village also needs to own up to its failures. We can’t bury our heads in the sand anymore…the problem is screaming at us. Does one of our children need to die before we ACT? Stop waiting on the government and the opposition. They are busy playing politics.

  2. what about tje countrys leader is is the biggest bully i know and love to threthen people,chrildren learn what they see

  3. Where is Mr. Byam? This situation needs his usual comment. Now, do you know that a needle placed in the right place can eek out the name of the other culprit? Then the two can be put to clear up all the election paraphernalia. AND, the parents should be charged too..Children should be safe and comfortable at home and at school. With the high cost of living, parents shouldn’t have to worry about the safety of their children. I wonder how many CXC did he leave school with? Craziness.

  4. It’s good that this young man was caught, hope this leads to the apprehension of the other. Can almost bet he not going to talk or snitch as they call it. This is only the short term solution, which is necessary to bring about a sense of security. However, as a nation we need to get to the root of what is causing our young people to be going down this path. We might be able to get some answers from this young man .
    We need to start with the preschoolers to bring about a long term and lasting change. Our nation political leaders must lead by example. This means a change of language from the elected leader. If we do not change our direction now we will be having the largest course vessels in harbor and these young men and women will be playing with the paw paw in Heritage Quay having everyone running for cover. If we don’t face up and approach this scientifically we done .
