  2. Repent and be baptized my youth. Worship God our creator.
    If you must die, die in the Lord, If you must fight, fight for your soul salvation.

  3. This what the government is doing to Antigua. from being one of the safest countries in the Caribbean to most of the youths to have guns, do robberies and be smoking all day. Parents leave them alone to do whatever they doing, they jump from school just to be in an old house smoking all day with their gang. Thanks Gaston for legalizing the marihuana and for allowing the sirians to bring the guns they using for rob themselves.

  4. These are well known crime areas. How many times last year alone you hear something criminal or disruptive happened on this road that will make any competent law enforcement personnel place officers constantly on these roads?

    My head hurts, I am tired.

  5. The government should get solar powered streetlight with camera combination out of china to replace all existing streetlights system and help the police and government solve crimes.
