  1. My condolences to his family and I pray the comforting of God Spirit be with them. May his soul rest in peace.

  2. Just heard ASP Quammie say that it was an ILLEGAL race. Permission was NOT received to hold that race. Hence no ambulance or firetruck present. This makes it even more heartbreaking because apparently it could have been avoided. To his family and friends, I am sorry for your loss.

    • @Have mercy HOW COULD THE ASP SPEW SUCH IGNORANCE?
      RESIDENTS OF THE AREA HAS BEEN COMPLAINING FOR YEARS ABOUT THE LATE NIGHT NOISES THAT COMES FROM THAT TRACK.

      ONE MAN SAID HE CALLED THE POLICE MANY TIMES TO ADDRESS THE NOISE POLLUTION. i do believe even Mr POMPEY heard him on VOP this very week on the same illegal activity that the ASP ignored..

      HOW COULD THE ASP NOT KNOW THIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITY THAT WAS NO SECRET WAS CARRYING ON. AND PROSECUTE THE GUILTY ONES.

      ACTUALLY THE POLICE CAN INVESTIGATE WHO WAS THERE THAT NIGHT AND BRING CHARGES.

      THE OWNERS OF THE TRACK FOR ALLOWING THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY ON THEIR PROPERTY AND NOT STOP NOR NOTIFY THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY.

      THE ASP SHOULD BE TERMINATED INSTANTLY FOR ALLOWING THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE AND ENDED WITH THE TRAGIC LOSS OF A CITIZEN.

      THE ASP IS CULPABLE……IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR HIM TI MAKE A CASE THAT HE DID NOT KNOW.

      TO THE FAMILY MY CONDOLENCES I KNEW THE BROTHER KEEP THE FAITH.

    • There are safety measures in place for all authorized races-apparently this one was not a legal race.. They were braking the laws,and still did not take the time to use the proper protective gears..So sad..
