Local law enforcement authorities are intensifying their efforts to apprehend the perpetrators behind a brutal attack on a 75-year-old woman that occurred last evening.

This criminal is a dam coward to attack anyone, let alone a frail 75-year-old woman.
These incidents are becoming commonplace and is getting worse.
Police Commissioner Attlee Rodney must now come to the forefront, step up to the plate and do his – highly paid – duties, to protect our women, the elderly and the law abiding citizens of this country.
If it means declaring war on the criminal fraternity and cutting out their “cancerous” behaviour … then so be it!
YOU SHOULDN’T BE ‘FRAID AH DEM!
By ignoring them in the last 12-18 months, they have become more and more emboldened.
IF IT WAS YOUR MOTHER, SISTER OR DAUGHTER POLICE COMMISSIONER – WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Not waste your time.
This guy is liked IRON MAN,he don’t care.

Does this mean @ Inquire, that our Police Commissioner Rodney and Prime Minister Browne are NOT good men by ignoring our sincere pleas for help?
SEEMS SO … 🤔
If the police commisioner was Antiguan he would probably do the job he is been paid to do but he dont get a flying fig about our country he just there for the money and the prestige he would give a dam if it was his country its about time we get one of our own to look out for us bring back vere brown
@Antiguan
I was thinking the same thing. Why are there so many non-nationals on our police force? Gaston and Cutie want them there because they will do their biddings. Look at how quickly they arrest someone when a pale face is the victim. Our police force should be headed by an Antiguan and the officers should be Antiguans. Right now what we have appears to couldn’t care less. Are they out there really trying to solve crime when most of the criminals could be non nationals like them. Start recruiting Antiguans.
I truly wish this not happen, especially to such an elderly. I humbly provide some of my crime reduction tactics developed through advance research to decrease crime and oppurtunity for criminals acts but no one listens and the people of Antigua and Barbuda continue to suffer, especially in situations that could be avoided.
Please start listening to those people who spent years researching and understanding criminal behavior, society, and law.
You do not have to pick me but there are actual people who are intensely competent and is able to eliminate a lot of these crime of oppurtunity.
I work for free.
All you blaming the white people for all your woes but it is not a white person/people attacking us. Coward black criminals.
Ssndra, who is blaming white people? Shut up and stop talking rubbish. You sound like you are missing something.
This is getting waaay outta control……
The crime, the robberies, the assaults , the shootings.
The Perpetrators are getting more brazen because they realize nothing is being done to them or if they get caught it’s just gonna be a slap on the wrist.
People gonna really have to take matters into their own hands and the sad part , is that when we do that we still get locked up and harassed by the judicial system for defending and protecting ourselves SMFH…..
If something is not done soon, Antigua is gonna be a serious war zone overrun with criminals.
The relevant authorities need to address this NOW – TODAY!!!!!
Since the laws have gotten real soft on crime this is no surprise. I remember the incident where a few young teenagers rape off a 40 something woman. Don’t forget about the young Syrian man that was killed by a teenager. That same teenager and his buddy bang up another kid and nearly kill him and now the victim has permanent brain damage.
All they get is a short time out in the corner and pyapya slap on their wrists. Then they back out doing the same shit again. No deterrent at tall.
Fat Benjamin and his fellow idiots made it so the punishment don’t fit the crime. Those animals should be treated as such. In the case of rape, cut off their balls one time. When they kill, hang them. When they teef, cut off one hand. This place would be a lot safer and they would think plenty before doing shit like that.
But no. The laws too soft and because of that, more will continue to happen.
Time for the markets to provide free delivery to seniors, disabled and those requesting assistance.
Hey, Fats Benjamin said Antigua and Barbuda is the safest place in the Caribbean. It is just scary in this country how these cowards do this with impunity. How is Fats and Frequent Flyer Rodney still holding their jobs?
We can talk all we want because the idiot DAWG will do nothing. It up to US. When will we realize that WE pay them? It up to us to raise hell demanding their canning.
The immigration department and the police should be rounding up all those so-called visitors, who have overstated their time, and send them home. That is if they know who they are. There must be tighter control of immigration. These people should not be allowed to stay in Antigua without jobs as they will have to resort to crime to survive. Antiguans don’t even know who is in Antigua. All this government seems to do is encourage all kinds of people to overstay in the country and grant them amnesty at election time when the country is overrun with criminals. They don’t care as their priority is staying in power.
If these are Antiguans involved how is it that they are not gainfully employed and have to resort to crime in an economic power house?
Once we deal with the non-national criminals, we will have more resources to deal with those Antiguan punks who think they are bad. Something has to be done as Antigua will become like Trinidad where my Trinidadian friend tells me he is dodging bullits.
#Next_Level Criminality!
Communities MUST form their own C.O.P. – Citizens On Patrol Units to police their communities, and bring some semblance to this rapid rise in criminality on the island, since, those #WHO’RE charged with and getting paid seems to be nonchalant about the trauma which these crimes are bringing to the community’s.
CRIME IS A BUSINESS! It funds many, many, many legal businesses.
#Next_Level Criminality rising faster , than bread dough for brick oven bread, in Antigua.

Yes @Antiguan, for years
I have wondered at the strong presence of non-nationals on the police force.
Ron Saunders, Anthony Armstrong, Rhonda Sealy Thomas(I hear her replacement is also a non-nationl) George’s, Badu, Atley Rodney, Banjo, Seaforth, are all non-nationls holding or have held key positions. This has to stop.
It would be interesting to see who the cops are that are shooting people.
But, ALP likes it so. This way they can control every aspect of our society, judiciary, security, medical. Antiguans and Barbudans could never do this is any other Caribbean island.
We do need a cleansing. Atley Rodney should have been fired ages ago, but word is, he is Gaston Browne ‘s puppet. Spends more time kissing the DAWG’s behind that doing what he was hired to do.
