2 Drilly Gang Rejects PM Browne’s Request for Dialogue, Lashes Out at Government and Society

The notorious 2 Drilly gang has publicly rejected a request from Prime Minister Gaston Browne for a meeting aimed at addressing the ongoing issues of crime and violence affecting the youth in Antigua and Barbuda.

The gang’s response was posted on ANR online, in which they expressed deep disdain for the government and other societal institutions.

The statement, posted under the alias “2 Drilly,” delivered a scathing critique of what they perceive as the hypocrisy and corruption within the government, police, justice system, and religious organizations.

The gang’s message indicates a profound sense of disillusionment and resentment toward the authorities, accusing them of being more sinful and corrupt than those they criticize.

“I see we’ve gotten your attention, but we don’t care,” the message begins, making it clear that the gang is not interested in any form of negotiation or reconciliation. The author goes on to state that “all hope is lost for us, the damage is done,” and that they have no desire to meet with any officials, whom they describe as “thieving and corrupt people.”

The gang also expressed a fatalistic outlook, stating, “we will all die young knowing we made an impact on the youths that none of you pretenders will.” This chilling declaration underscores the gang’s belief that their actions have had a more significant influence on the youth than any efforts made by the government or other institutions.

WHAT’S APP GROUP LINK

Prime Minister Browne’s request for a meeting was likely part of a broader initiative to curb the rising violence in the country, particularly among younger generations.

However, the outright rejection by 2 Drilly raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of traditional methods of intervention in addressing gang-related issues.

The government now faces the difficult task of finding alternative ways to reach out to disaffected youth and to address the grievances that fuel such dangerous and destructive behaviors.

  1. I dont believe that gang wrote that. I dont believe they have the competence to put to even put the first paragraph together. Most of those so call gang members are very dunce n can barely read n write. Someone who is trying to stir up trouble in society wrote that.

  2. The government is dealing with these punks with kiddy gloves. Havent the authorities seen their posters announcing Oct 31st as the Purge? They are literally threatening the public now and attempting to hold us hostage. Sounds like terrorism doesn’t it? The police need to smoke them out and deal with them. If they are down Villa and Gray’s Farm go for them! What the hell are the police waiting for?

    Also what has happened with the investigation into the murder of that young 15 year old girl? A picture of 7 young men armed with weapons was going around, word on the street is that those punks had something to with that girl’s tragic demise. Why have no arrests been made? Why hasn’t the Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney said anything to the public? If this situation is too much for Mr. Rodney to handle then he needs to resign or be removed. We cannot afford weak leadership at this time. Antigua is not safe and the culprits are laughing at us.

  3. “We will all die young knowing we made an impact on the youths that none of you pretenders will.” Such delusional narcissism.

    The idea of a meeting with the PM was always a stretch but now the police must meet them on the streets and deal with them emphatically before more innocents are robbed/hurt or killed.

  4. And this is what we are looking at. A bunch of youths not having any role models to look up to and having to fend for themselves at a young age. We should not be going around in circles blaming this person or blaming that person for our current problem in society. Instead we should use what they are telling us as our fuel to curb the uproar in youth violence today. Use all man power possible to get rid of these delinquency on the streets and rehabilitate them for a better future.

  5. This is crazy 🤔
    In an island that 108 square miles, a small group of people of about 20 is controlling the entire government decision on what to do with the crisis among the young people.

    You know every neighborhood and everyone there. Drop the special units on them.
    Why would you want to negotiate with gangs members? Show them who is boss. 💪🏼

    Don’t let them tell you what to do, you tell them what is going to happen and who is in charge.

  6. Let’s not point oir fingers at each other. This is what they want. They want us divert the attention from them and make enemies with our selves while they commit more, even worst crimes. It is obvious by that little message that they don’t they did not have a role model and had to fend for themselves. Let’s use that bit of information to curb the youth violence.

  7. I may be reading between the lines but I am sensing a deeper mentality of murder than maybe what most are seeing. Its beginning to sound like the mass terrorists mentality of the likes of the Columbine killers and other school incidents in the US. With my entire gut I am asking the government to be proactive and handle this before we have a situation that we are not ready to handle. Something feels very sinister and I hope that plans are not being made to hurt innocent people. As a firm believer in Christ, and having the ability to see beyond just words, this is chilling. I hope that some urgency is being paid to this as a threat to the populace. Please!!!!!! Pay attention to the sinister agenda of these young people. There is more behind the scenes than what we are seeing.

  8. “BROTHERS WHO FIGHT EACH OTHER TO THE DEATH…, STRANGERS INHERIT THEIR FATHER’S POSSESSIONS. ”

    APPLIES TO THE “SISTERS” AS WELL.

  9. Education should be focused such that: “IT’S a medium for which a people are prepared for their own particular civilization and the advancement and glory of their own race.”
    MARCUS GARVEY

    THERE HAS TO BE PURPOSE, FOCUS AND MOTIVATION. CANNOT BE “GET RICH OR DIE TRYING.”

  10. God alone has to come down from heaven and convince me that this “response” came from 2 drilly gang. A bunch of young wannabe thugs going around the place causing all this havoc well make such a well structured response? Give me a break. These little punks don’t even speak proper english, never mind, to be able to write and articulate so well and even know when to make use of their pronunciation marks. This was most likely done by an adult posing as a 2 drilly gang member. Those little barbarians are way too dunce for this “response”

  11. Since when Satan is correcting sin
    Listen up these young wanna be gang members punk are coward little Ferrets looking for attention
    Don’t get it twisted these guys are been manipulated by a adult or adults who is the ring leader of the Circus calling the shots
    This kind of behavior is warranted forceful fire power without remorse or sympathy
    It’s time for the police to take back the street like you mean it
    Stop and frisk every day especially the Hoodie wearing Knapp-Sack trapping mask wearing individual
    Police stop looking for unlicensed vehicles and suppressed these Bandits
    Work in shifts along with the Army and let it be a police state until you get it right
    The time is now b4 weeping cometh in the morning

  12. How on earth can these wannabe gangstas hold the country to ransome?

    This sickens me to the pit of my stomach, because I’ve brought up two law abiding sons who are well educated, respectful of the laws of society and the country; and never been in trouble with the police.

    THERE RECORDS ARE CLEAN.

    And it wasn’t easy as a father, but I was determined to bring into this country (and the world they now both travel in) two upstanding – and outstanding – young men.

    YET, THEY’VE NEVER MET THE PM. WHY?

    Yet these two-bit punks are dictating to Gaston Browne and and the decent people in our society???

    What kind of parallel universe are we living in?

    If decent people have the wherewithal to leave this country, they will, if Gaston Browne doesn’t take on and take down these lowlifes.

  13. School reopens in less than a week and no significant efforts have been made to curb these youth gangs. Curfew ain’t gonna cut it and metal detectors may do little since most of the perpetrators do not attend school. What measures will be enforced to ensure the nation’s youth can traverse safely for the upcoming school year and beyond. Government
    It seems like parents will be forced to take matters into their hands because I know the pace at which these recent events are being dealt with would surely not run for me had it been my child.
    I pray that our Father continues to comfort these families who are suffering from the loss of their children.

  14. They remind me of ISIS. They must be dealt with immediately before they cause anymore problem in our country.

  15. They will control the government as long as they will. Why do you think the gangs called the PM and his henchmen lie, thieves, corrupt, etc… including the police and the church? I believe somebody had or has hired these gangs to commit crimes or crimes for them. These youth gangs are holding the trump card and A’s over the government and police heads. These youths out there on the streets at night and they will see a lot of evil activities done by politicians and the police. Adults lie, not the children.
    I am 101% against the crimes the youth alleged to have committed against the nation and people. The fathers of these young men need to find a way to reach their sons—even uncles and godfathers can help.
    I also believe that a few of the gang members had some level of education to write that message.

  16. What impact can a GANGS leave for anyone to remember. No one will remember u.wen u die u talk about for a moment then u will be forgotten.in jamaica a guy by the name of Dj moses.. I want all u GANGS in Antigua go on utube.n listen. Don’t hear.listen.bc when u dead n gone no one will remember you.n even if the churches are silence. God is still real .N if u GANGS continue .u all will die young n old.then the worst is yet to come..BECAUSE WEN U DIE THAT NOT IT.YOU MUST WAIT ON GOD JUDGEMENT DAY.N THAT MY FELLOW GANGS MEMBERS U DON’T EVEN WANT TO DREAM SEE THAT DAY. STOP terrorize the country.

  17. All of you sound like leaves shaking in the wind

    If you Antiguans had any backbone you all wudda find them since you all know where they are and do vigilantly justice but NO YOU ALL SO SCARED …LOOK HOW BAD A BUNCH OF LOSERS HAVE YOU ALL wey all the bad men are they are all not in 2 drilly?

    2 drilly must be larfing dem arses after you all jus saying look how shock we got a whole island….
    CROFT think he big n bad so does plenty of other young men yet NOBODY ah step up

    Remember abt 20 yrs ago mercenaries were called to 1735 and they beat the shit of of the prisoners who think dem was baddest

    2 drilly needs to be stop before September turns out to be a blood bath

  18. I want everyone to be aware. These kids love social media and are online when they are not committing crimes or wasting away.

    When it comes to the letter some of you are right but could be very wrong. Right in the sense that it was too well written for who we are dealing with. But you could be very wrong that an adult wrote it.

    This letter could easily be formulated using CHAT CGI or CHAT GPT on Google apps. A.I my friends. All you need to do is punch in your thoughts and what the letter is to be about, and A.I will do the rest. Out comes the perfect letter. That simple. This is exactly what this program does. It will write you a business letter, your thesis, whatever you would like written professionally.

    Give that some thought before we go looking for scapegoats. Always try and find out the things we don’t know before we jump to conclusions.

    In any case something needs to be done to show this behavior won’t be tolerated on this island.

  19. To deal with these knuckle heads like these young people. We need a whole body. Government alone cannot work alone to deal with this. We need the church, we need community, villagers and elders. We need influencers to curve these young people mind and still we need God our Lord Jesus. Now reading this message seem to me an adult in this group. Ever gang has that one who is mindful, persuasive, wise. Those are the ones who doesn’t make them self seen. They are always behind the scene making others do their work. I believe we need undercover workers to deal with this. In order to defeat an enemy we have to think like them. So yes, there is a very evil agenda, an evil spirit that is dealing with these youth that we need all that I just mentioned including Jesus Christ.

  20. I’ve read most of the comments so far, and to be honest, I don’t [think] many of you understand, the concept of the #street_gang. Period!

    The so called “street_gang” is an entity which runs, the entire length and breath, of a Society. They include professionals(lawyers, astute businessmen/women, law enforcement, public officials).

    To those thinking, that these gangs are a bunch of illiterate fools are living in a cocoon or bubble. You are in need, of a metamorphosis, indeed ! #Yes_Indeed!

  21. I see that many of you are doubting that these gang members are capable of writing this. Please stop equating gangs to being dunce and uneducated. A gang member can be anyone, including the most educated person. Also, many children and young people today actually do read and write well, contrary to what some of you believe. I’m a teacher, and I can tell you that they do express themselves well. They are more than capable.

  22. Conspiracy theorist perhaps. I think a highly educated power hungry individual has devised this plot to destabilize our country and ruin our tourism industry, in the hope that they can get rid of their arch enemy Gaston Brown. This is a fight for power as a weak man will burn down his county to rule over the ashes. The DRILLY gang does will not exist without its true leader Find the snake and cut off its head.

  23. @RUDEBOY4LIFE – Most of them might not be literate but they do have some that are educated that choose that lifestyle.

    In a similar way, you will be surprised that there are a number of educated, decent looking females that choose to be dating them. It is a cause to wonder because they usually end up as a single parent because the father was either killed, jailed or disappeared.

  24. @2Drilly – don’t know who you are, but with all due respect 1) “Hope’ Is never lost while you’re alive. 2) Dying young to make an impact will not change anything nor solve the problems we are all facing 3) Important Question: Tell us, what do you want from us people of this nation – what do you need ? Tell us, what would stop the proliferation of guns and the violent actions in our community right now. Please tell us what do you need to make this happen. Please tell us what do we have to do. WE are the majority; the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda that are feeling the heat. We, the bulk of this society, again the people of all places all around Antigua and Barbuda want you to tell us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your answers.♥️ 🇦🇬 ♥️ 🇦🇬

  25. Why would you ever consider negotiating with a gang? It’s not a social club its a criminal organization. Furthermore, why would a gang consider negotiating with lawmakers? It’s a CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION. At least the PM tried. Ready the rifles. They naan go run ya. Those of u who fear for ur children gang members, talk to them or turn them on. They safer in jail than cemetrie

  26. I don’t see my post of half hour ago to @ 2 Drilly. It is not postable ? Its ok with me but..Let me know no?

  27. Some of the most successful people in Antigua never went to University. Many successful individuals are barely literate.
    There are other talents which are critical to achieving one’s goal.
    Social media has made many illiterate people functional. TickTok and YouTube is their source of information. The barely illiterate can use Chat-GBT
    The gangs of Antigua have also take note of the BBQs of Haiti mentality.

    The gangs of Haiti say corruption in high places as a way of life for generations was their reason for existing; as the took over Haiti’s Capital

    Gang activity is not new in Antigua by any means. Three years ago an elderly male (over 80 years old) was asked by a mother to speak to a teenage son, who was already beat-up and being threatened by gang leadership with bodily harm.
    He was directed to rob several places.
    She was concerned that his life was in danger and had no faith in the police or judicial system.

    Fast forward… to the brutal killing of several female teenagers and almost daily the arm robbery.
    The Antigua Government seemingly have no clue or solution.

    Keep in mind the drug cartels control 30% of Mexico today. Government corruption enabled them.
    In the Prime Minister’s chatter on the issue of gangs; the Prime Minister speaks to the inhuman conditions at the prison, as possible the reason why judges may be reluctant to give bail or be lenient.
    He the Prime Minister bears no responsibility. International Human Rights Organization he supposed may be influencing the judges.
    He gets away with this type of stuff. If the so called degrees individuals who are the literate ones, enable him to get away do easily; why do the gangs need to be literate?
    PM Gaston Brown is glib and quick in deflation and casting blame, when the fingers are pointed at him. He is a master of the craft of deflection.

    With gangs sending a message and giving Prime Minister Brown the finger; the public is anxious to know what’s his intentions. We’ll be waiting nervously.
    I doubt this was just a hype by the gangs to get attention.
    Max Hurst Cabinet Briefing were a sort of propaganda report which always noted that Cabinet meetings were blessed by a clergy. The gangs infer that clergyman were blessing these proceeding of corruption.
    The gangs of Antigua whoever these individuals are; they are saying the same as Haiti’s Barbecue. They have clearly noted the deep seated institutional corruption that exists in the Country with no room for them. That’s what has brought them to this point of no return.
    How can they trust a government of no integrity?
    Why should they expose themselves to the public?
    They know The Prime Minister is aware of the Gangs leadership. Just like deals of Creative Enrichment are done in secret he the Prime Minister could meet with them in secret. That is not hard to do.
    Gangs are a sore point and causes an anxiety disorder to hard working honest people. But these street gangs are saying the gangland lifestyle is replete in all aspects of the Antigua society.
    Giuliani said he was getting rid of NYC mob, only to find out he was just a mobster himself with regards to the 2020 US elections.

  28. The brutal murder of these young teenage females has captured the attention of the nation.
    There has been much talk about gangs with no evidence gangs were responsible, or these killings were the result of gang activity.
    This has given the gangs the attention they always crave,
    and expose the ineptitude of the Prime Minister, the AG and the Police Commissioner.
    In the mean time the murder victims will be eulogized and get buried; and the attorneys will get a raft of new clients, among them may be gang members.
