  1. good for him, but this will not stop the ongoing LEADERSHIP CRISIS in the UPP

  2. Exactly! I hope that MP Dean Joan’s has learned something from this incident of course.
    Now on to some important issues.

  3. Dean should now sue them for wrongful arrest and for his lawyer’s fee.
    The police in Antigua needs to be taught the lesson that de-escalation should take priority in situations such as this. Too many of them are puffed up on the fact that they
    have some state sanctioned power over people.
    This power goes to their heads & causes some of them to abuse people and to sometimes even break the law; then they turn around and fabricate a story about what transpired.
    Gone are the days when people felt relieved once the police arrived on the scene of an incident.
    In a small country like Antigua, that sense of security should still be there.

  4. How is the Money-Hawk taking this news? He so wanted Dean to be found guilty that he must be drunk with rage right now. He still has a second chance to cook up something with the police.

    • the money-hawk still living in Grays Green in his wall house with the ex-Dfense Force laser pointing soldier following him around like a useles shadow. You think KICKBACKS mek joke? Just ask John Ashe……ooops “they” took him out right after he EXPOSED the UPP!!

  5. justice was served, I guess. It’s a good thing the court made sure an innocent guy didn’t get convicted. This whole situation should remind the cops to handle things calmly and not jump to conclusions.
