  1. It is sad that the ABLP AG and other ABLP ministers are saying that Antigua and Barbuda is safe and we must appreciate the crimes that are happening. No crimes should be appreciated and Antigua and Barbuda shouldn’t be compared with other countries’ crime rate.

  2. For the past 10 years Antigua not Barbuda has been transformed into Crime City, and the Crime Bosses nar do a ting but run dem mouth an continue lib in comfort in dem mansions counting the filthy lucre
