  1. @ Hmmmmmm
    I would not be surprised at all. So, out of over three million dollars destroyed by law enforcement, last Friday, cocaine accounted for a mere thirteen hundred dollars????? Speaks volumes for law enforcement in Antigua. Seems that the cocaine culture, its importers, peddlars and users enjoy favored drug status here!!! They could probably give the ganja importers, peddlars and users a few tips on Avoidance, Impunity and the Law!

  2. This some bullshit. All we get to see is a fire pallets what happen to the before pic. Show the items first that we burning so the public can see what we really burbing. Dont sell us a story.
