Greetings Dawg !<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Enough is enough. It is full time for you to desist in gunning down our love ones. What purpose is it serving?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, times have change and as young people we are now living in a new dispensation.  Trying to prove a point by using the firearm and at the sametime trying to prove that we may be badder than our peer, makes no sense.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day,  you are destroying yourselves, your families and the community and simultaneously, tearing down the good name of our country.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The landscape of this paradise has changed.  Antigua was never like this & it does not deserve this type of change neither. It was a place where we could freely chill, party & have fun anytime around the clock without looking over one’s shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, life in Antigua is different, persons are now living on the edge.  Our family members are living in alot more fear now, than ever before. The air has even become polluted with the question who will be next?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dawg Let’s get real. Guns are not needed to solve problems. Work is available in its abundance. So money should not be an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A plea is going out to all the Dawgs in the country, to put down the guns & desist in destroying the fabric of our communities and lets come together as one people, with aim and one destiny to make a better Antigua & Barbuda for all of us.<\/p>
