24-year-old Kieron Hutson shot and killed

1. I have full confidence that the police will apprehend the assailant either by will or by force. However, I am yet to understand why the public cannot be updated with a statistical report on the nature of these murders. It would be enlightening to know if ” family disputes ” drugs ” robbery ” lover’s disagreements etc, etc. are the cause of these murders

   • Ever thought of poverty as a cause? I can recall just a few years ago that poverty was the real reason for practically all crimes committed in Antigua and Barbuda and we know which Government was at the helm ,so stop downplaying the issue, face the reality and speak the truth. Are you one of those who sleeps with his doors opened because of how safe we are? Speak the truth for once.

       But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

     • Poverty isn’t the cause more like a correlation. Ignorance and ill-intent (badmind) are the root causes of crime and poverty. That is why you find these conditions together all over the world. No amount of money can change badmind unfortunately. The best you can hope for is for badmind people to be eradicated and cut off. Ignorance can be fixed through education and discipline.

       • @Bilbo,
         Here, the conversation is not really on poverty. It should be on the opportunity reduction. Even if the victim and perpetrator knows each other and it was a dispute, reducing the oppurtunity for such crime to occur, could have resulted in this crime not occurring.

         Just one more day of delay could bring down that heat of passion, and that is where my opportunity reduction strategy is vital in crime reduction. It is applicable to crimes committed by strangers, crime committed by people you know against you, etcetera.

         The perpetrator actually committed the crime with the belief no one saw him or knows him or can identify him, etcetera.

         It is why oppurtunity to commit crime should be reduced as much as pragmatically possible. I have that strategy the force can use.

     • This is so much BS, just making excuses for predatory criminals. If you were attacked by armed intruders the last consideration in your mind would be ‘poverty’. They make poor people’s lives a misery too.

2. ten yard of cloth aint kniw what the A___he talking about set of useless yes men and woman running my country

3. A lot of people are either being killed or held up by guns these days. Where is the source of these guns? Antigua is a small place. The police need to go under cover and get informants to assist them. Somebody is making money either from the sales or the renting of these guns. Is some business person smuggling the guns in their goods? How about all yachtees, and bananas boats.
   It shows how ignorant these people are. They don’t even value a human life. Antigua has a big problem and things will probably get worse.

4. This is how bold criminals are, increasing penalty is not a deterrence. Reducing criminal opportunities by using my flooding strategies are the only way.

   I have done enough, substantial research on Antigua to know what will work. Again, listen to me. Next, criminals will be entering and shotting up banks.

   It is going to be deadly. THIS IS MY JOB IN CRIME PREDICTION AND PREVENTION.

   • You are so high????. The day this punks decided to go into banks in antigua and barbuda,you will see God wiped out this humanity. This punks not have the balls yet to do so…their are happy sticking into lower victims and so on. A stink disgusting cigarette,money for popes street lady’s,eating unhealthy food ( malnourished ) and their national anthem music ( the one sound like robot a.k.a CRAP ) this punks are ok.

5. 7:30pm, you live at York’s and you roaming in crime village smh. How the country is now can’t catch me on the road pass 6pm. Home and work that’s it, liming outta style now.

   • @Anonymous…

     A…this is exact the #fear which these Street_Thugs want you to live with.

     B…home invasions are on the rise too! Barricading your house will slow criminals down, but it won’t slow #crime down!

     C…these #street_thugs are creating Sundown Communities, and they’re loving it. Be careful, of the psychological trauma which is very devastating, to one’s mental health!

     D…the white collar criminals #who’re living large, in the purported upper echelon(high society) are laughing all the way, to the bank, as their pawns and foot soldiers terrorize the community’s, while they live behind protected enclaves.

     R U ah lib lakkah fowl and ostrich!
     Get Up & Tan Up, lakkah ONE COMMUNITY!

6. no one just shoots another person for no reason there has to be a motive for this. Christian street and Grays farm on a whole what’s going on down there? 😟
   This shooting thing like it won’t stop. Police get out in your numbers and make your presence felt!!

   Dan Cracker 😓 RIP

7. If the criminals getting bold then WE HAVE TO GET BOLDER
   One gun at the front door and one next to my bed
   If it’s the Wild West that they want, it is the Wild West they gawn get

8. Poverty have nothing to do with these types of murders, as growing up poor is life unless you’re the John i Martin and the Papa Halls etc but we still survived. People keep asking the question where all these guns coming from? but if drugs are coming in massively then you would believe protection in the form of guns will also follow. We now have the pusher Generals, want to be drugs man, gangs and the ones that can’t keep a low profile, ones who likes to show off and often gumm too too much.
   Look! In these parts drugs is king and as tourism as main industry you can say drugs is part of the industry, since they coincide in many ways. Police in no rush to solve these murders, hence we will never know the Big Man is and I want to believe the police database is loaded with names and info but refuse to move.

   • @Carvaa, you make a lot of sense on a lot of things mentioned here. Just need actual experts to executive strategies based on the data.

9. @My way of helping. So why are you butting that idea our there for the idiots to get ideas to rob banks? Not helpful.

   • @Antigua, the idea must be told to let them know we know and to let folks deter such actions. Knowing leads to not happening. Them thinking we do not know, leads to it happening.

     That is how the human mind works. I will not sit around and not do what I can to help the people. Sorry, I cannot

10. Twenty-for-years old, RIP.

    My way of helping does have a point, it is not if but when.

    The majority of banks and financial institutions in Antigua have access controlled count rooms outfitted with hold-up switches and CCTV cameras unlike the High Court where you can walk in with a razor blade concealed in your mouth or even a gun or any other type of weapon hidden on your person. A few also have unarmed security guards, most of whom are not in the best of physical shape. An attempt was made on an armored truck several years back at the credit union and the armed guard was shot.

    The would-be robber/robbers will have to settle for robbing the bank tellers and civilians conducting business at the bank unless they have an inside man like the police officer that attempted to rob the casino he was being paid to secure. Smart fellow that one, he still has the bullets in him because if the crime lab matched the bullets with the gun his colleague shot him with, he would have received a longer stay in 1735.

11. It seems like the criminal fraternity has declared war on the citizens of Antigua. This may be the first recorded murder in the country, but we all know it won’t be the last.

    Sadly, due to the lack of police and political action and also the inability to reassure our safety, the criminals – as sure as night follows day -, have noticed this lack mobilisation from our authorities as well.

    The Attorney General still believes that Antigua is one of safest places to work, rest and play.

    The Police Commissioner Attlee Rodney’s silence on the rise in crime is troubling to say the least; and our over optimistic PANGLOSSIAN Prime Minister also has this air of “nothing to see here” about him, while the country slowly burns.

    All the above are in prominent positions to do something about rising crime. However, many law-abiding Antiguans cannot fathom why they are so reluctant to do or say anything. Why?

    I grew up without a pot to p#s* in, but I knew from an early age that education and not criminality was always the way out of poverty, and a better way of life.

    THERE’S NO OTHER WAY …

12. “Dan Cracker” Hutson??? Never heard of a Hutson in Antigua. Who are these people???

13. The #Street_Orders/Thugs are now well organised, as the most recent ORGANISED ORDER, as it pertains to ORGANISED CRIMES IN ANTIGUA, BARBUDA & REDONDA!

    These Street Orders are not only well stocked, on weapons which, they’re not afraid to use, they’re well financed, and entrenched in the Community’s; and, the most troubling one is, they’re not short on new recruits.

    Law enforcement, all faucets are fully aware of what is happening, consequences, and to some degree[sic] solutions regarding, the culture of criminality in the Nation.

    Whatever, the motive is for this shooting, it’s obvious, crime will not be slowed no time soon in Antigua.

15. The life you live.

    with a nickname like Dan Cracker who hangs with someone called Scatter Shot, their skin bleached out, some very poorly done tattoos, a joint in their mouths, an alcoholic beverage in hands, pants under their butts, served time in 1735 with pending court cases, you don’t have to wonder the types of lifestyle they live.

16. @Zackie.
    I too have wondered about these unfamiliar surnames which have surfaced in this country over the past few years. The malaise now plaguing Antigua has its roots in the desire to garner votes for the incumbent governing political party at the time and has continued ever since. They allowed any Tom, Dick, Harry or Mary to enter and settle in this island with little or no checks on their desirability, all for their votes. Their ingrained lawlessness has now been passed on to their offspring, it’s in their genes and who is offended by this can go take a jump in St John’s Harbour and swim back to wherever they previously came. Antigua has gone to the dogs and that’s it. Going to hell in a hand cart will soon follow.

    • @oversee, from my research, you are correct
