50-year-old man stabbed to death during altercation with 18-year-old

1. The youths need counceling. This violence is getting out of control. They need to cease abusing substances and apply conflict resolution to resolve their differences. Where is the respect for the elderly? 😔

2. When the elders speak, the youth play deaf. One more resident of shit bucket 1735

3. Where are the fathers of the youths?

   Deepest condolences to the family and friends

4. I no longer recognise my beloved Antigua. The yout’ dem out of control nowadays, and have no respect for anyone it seems.

5. If it’s not the marijuana, KFC 🍗, Shawarma🌮 or Pizza 🍕…it must be the water that is causing all this ignoramus violence in our young people. People cannot disagree nowadays without some form of physical altercation which, in most cases, are deadly or causing serious injury. What a way to go! Condolences to the young man’s family for their loss, and fast recovery to the other.

6. Im a young youth of this country and I wasn’t born here but I was raised here my whole life , however yall can’t say the “youths in general ” there are some good young youths out there trying to make it and you guys who are saying ” dem youths dis and dat ” making it seems like it’s every single one of them young youths doing this shit , come on men , specify them please

7. Stapleton, you are so right.something is causing the youths of today to resort to serious violence.they need lots of help, and if they do not get the help they deserve, they are going to get even more voilent.sending condolences to the young man’s family, and wishing the other injured young man, a full and speedy recovery.

8. Try that 18 years old boy before a vigilante court. Send out a message that children must stop committing serious crimes and murder in this country. And for that boy who do not agree with the phrase youth committing crime, this is the way to say it. Those youth who are not committing crime three cheers for them but overall, the youth of this country are dangerous. We all know is not all youths bad but that is the way it will be reported. No offence. Keep being a good youth.

9. My friend Ese, most children nowadays are left to “grow” themselves. Most mothers are left to take care of the children, they have to work to support their families, while the sperm donors roam. Some of the donors have to be taken to the courts to get monetary support for their children and so, the young men especially, (teenager) have no guidance and ended up in gangs and rum shops

10. In times of profound sorrow, it is natural to reflect on the decisions that shape our lives and their impact on others. As individuals, we possess the freedom to choose, and these choices are fundamental in determining our ultimate path. The concept of Birth, Choices, and Destiny highlights this interconnectedness ( The BCD of life). Our present decisions inevitably shape our future.
    It’s acknowledged that human nature is inclined towards negative impulses, often leading to actions taken without prior consideration. To counter this, it’s crucial to cultivate a mindset grounded in righteousness and positive principles. By filling our minds with constructive thoughts, we can resist harmful urges when they arise.
    While the path toward negative outcomes can appear effortless, the journey to peace and goodness often requires significant effort. This pursuit is NOT achieved through individual strength alone; it comes from seeking divine guidance and support.
    Regrettably, we often find ourselves wishing for different outcomes after an event has transpired, frequently using the phrase “if only.”
    It’s important to recognize that we are currently living in Perilous times. There is an urgent call for individuals to align with paths that lead to peace and positive living. The Creator grants us the autonomy to choose our own way, never forcing adherence. Therefore, it is imperative to think before acting and to carefully consider consequences.
    Cultivating righteous thoughts, often through prayer and study, is highly encouraged.
    During this difficult period, our thoughts are with the family of the deceased, and we extend wishes for comfort. We also hope that the other party involved finds grace and peace amidst this sorrow.
    Ultimately, a better path exists, and it requires sincere dedication and effort to discover it.
    May Peace & Comfort be with all.

11. I understand youths this and that, but mind you they said BOTH of them armed themselves and the youth also sustained injuries. Yea there is a problem with the youths but the adults are a problem and also the adults raising said youths

12. Why, why, why. Why is all the comments against the i8 year old and youths. Why are we assuming the 18 year old is wrong. WHY.
    Were you there? If yes say so and enlighten us. If not hold on to your judgment until you have the facts.
    I was not there so I have to go on only this article. And based on the article we do not know who was in the wrong.
    So what do we know from the article.

    There was a confrontation.
    It escalated.
    Both parties armed themselves.
    Both ended up in the hospital.
    The 50 year died.

    That’s all we know. We do not know if one attacked the other. We do not know if one was only defending
    himself. So how can we cast judgment. WHY.

17. Condolences, am sure it’s a on the block seen, that on the block smoking thing creates competitiveness and antagonisms to prove ones manhood among the crowd of young men who don’t want to work but defend their territory which is the block, the onliest real estate these young men see in life, stay their smoking.
    Opportunity has to be created to remove them from the block,even standby position at public works, APUA and the army on police when ever activity of work is overwhelming. This can bring some pride etiquette and professionalism to their lives .

18. I do not know who is in the wrong here, but it ended tragically, people here are wound up too tight, most argument always end up with fisticuffs or worst as in this case, could it be because of the vile and violent music and the smoking of the mighty herb.

19. What the hell is going on in Antigua. Lord have mercy on the Island of Antigua and Barbuda.

20. Blessed Goodnight, my condolences to the family. Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬 ♥️ need to go back to the basic, where many people are going to church regularly and was more God fearing. But now people actually have been going into churches and steal, and with gun. The Word of God says that they who know their God shall do exploit, now they are behaving like Sodom and Gomorrah. As God said that in the last days many will be lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God. Father God, have mercies upon us daily 🙏🏾

21. More demons in church so thats not the answer, they need to have love, no one love or care no more

22. As soon as anything goes down in Antigua and a younger person is involved every assumes the younger person is the aggressor on instigator.

23. That is it we all need love. Love is everything

24. Boy oh boy. How does a 50 and 18 year old end up in a fight. Before we had respect for our elders these days and this new generation it’s a whole different story

25. Anonymous, Demons only get into the church because the people who attend church brought it with them.
    According to Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart of man is desperately wicked.” It describes the heart of human are as being prone to deceit and evil. Humans are naturally inclined towards selfishness, sin, and wrongdoing.
    When we turn from God decided to worship the devil, there are consequences to our actions.
    A lot of grown men like to have these young men and boys on the block with them drinking and smoking, teaching them evil, so what do they expect is going to happen, turning these young men into monsters.
    Yes, it’s wrong to take anyone life.

26. DID WE ALL MISS THE PART WHERE IT SAID THE YOUNG MAN WAS ALSO TREATED FOR INJURIES !!! IT TAKES TWOOOOO TO TANGO !!! ONE PERSON CYA FIGHT. THERE WAS SIMPLY SOMEONE WHO CAME OUT ON TOP. ITS OBVIOUSLY SELF DEFENSE ARE WE CONSIDERING THE STRENGTH AND DIFFERENCE IN BODY THE YOUNG MAN WAS OBVIOUSLY OVERPOWERED.

    THE ELDERLY NEED TO ACT WITHIN THERE PHYSICAL CAPACITY AND STOP PICKING FIGHTS WITH YOUNG PEOPLE.

    DOES BEING OVER 40 MEAN YOU CAN DO AS LIKE WHEN IT COMES TO THE LAW AND COMMON DECENCY!!

    This slave/island mentality needs to go where people are assumed right because they old

27. Stop blaming substance abuse and church. Some of yall are horrible parents, the abuse starts at home physically and verbally. Parents argue, curse and fight infront children. Some children are abused physically themselves and also sexually. This turned many young people to seek what they don’t get at home outside from strangers(Acceptance), and not all strangers mean good for your children. Also social media has a part to play as well with all the negative media that is portrayed as being cool (bad).

28. Another one has ending up biting the dust simply because no one found it wise enough to put peace between the two involved. Real Sad!!

    Before I jump to a conclusion, I would like to hear what caused the confrontation… Sometimes, we as adults, provoke the younger ones to anger thus causing them to lose control of themselves ….

    I am certainly not in agreement with the outcome of the altercation but was it an act of self-defense?

29. DEAR MR.HON.PM SIR.TOO MUCH KILLING BY YOUNG PPL…30 year if you are fine with a illegal GUN and AMMUNITION .. 50 year for RAPE and MURDER if and found guilty …

30. When your country is led by a bunch of degenerates it trickles down, I have been around for quite a while and have experienced many leadership styles and this one is the worst when it comes to morality. I dare anyone to challenge me on this
