  1. Swaby that last name sounds Jamaican if it is jail the bastard with his side kick life in prison
    They are really bringing their life style to beautiful Antigua
    It’s time to round them up and deport all of them tut moon and bag eye

  2. It is full time that these perpetrators feel the full brunt of the law. They need to be taught a lesson. They have no respect for the law so why should the have respect for them

    Anyone caught with a firearm always have embedded in the back of their minds … to KILL…. Therefore, it is only appropriate that judiciary system give them the maximum sentence in prison with hard labour which will involve painting & cleaning Gov’t buildings.

  3. Why are we speculating about the nationality of the persons our lawmen arrested. It is against the laws of our country to have in your possession an unlicensed firearm. Most likely if they found guilty in our courts they will be facing prison time. These young men will face prison time and given the circumstances they will be old, decrepit and deceased humans when they are allowed to leave prison. They are no good options for them unless leniency prevails. It is what it is my people. Too many of our innocent beautiful children are being taken away from us and their mutilated bodies are all over Facebook in the most gruesome manner. Pay attention my peoples. Is this the world we want to live in?

  4. We must begin to develop a low tolerance for these gunmen and criminals. Once they are not born Antiguan and Barbudan citizens, we must seek to remove them permanently from the state after conviction. We have to begin to take a zero tolerance approach to such nonesense.

  5. @Audley, I agree that we should have a low tolerance but strongly disagree with your suggestion of deportation.

    A citizen by birth, decent or naturalization should have certain rights and should be only declared persona non grata under extreme circumstances.

    But I do believe that the sentences should be much stronger for these gun crimes, it would be good if we can start at 25yrs for unlicensed fire arms.

  6. They should not be going into our jail to eat our taxpayer dollars—deport them right away. Them bad influences will mess with prisoners with minor crimes in the prison.

  7. I agreed with deporting them forthwith. It would show a strong message to all migrants who want to make Antigua their home. Leave your culture and behavior behind before coming to Antigua to live.

  8. most Jamaicans feel them a the badest thing….anyone a you violate a get send back a Jamaica never to return. yall make it bad for law abiding citizens who come for a better life..

  9. as soon as anyone of of these Jamaican punks violate send them home.. also need to check the immigration status of the Jamaicans here..too many of them in Antigua friggin around…no other nationality committing crimes like them.

  10. @watch dog so u saying all the swaby are from Jamaica??? you all need to go suck unuh mother an leave Jamaican alone you rassole criminals here a Rome the street an u all blaming Jamaican IF HE WAS JAMAICAN THE BIG HEASLINES WOULD BE THERE!!! COMECOFF FUCKING JAMAICAN BACK BOY GO OWN U ALL CRINIMAL BECAUSE THEY ANTIGUAN THIEFING ANTIGUANS!!!! HOW DID JAMAICAN REACH IN THIS

  11. where u go deport swaby to????
    an the other guy wen they born Antiguan what fucking wrong with you all why every crime that committee you all think it’s foreigners you all makes me sick you all disgusting

  12. How strange, that all of you call for stiffer and stronger sentences against gun related crime, but when the Prime Minister calls on the judiciary to do so, you guys accuse him of mingling with the judiciary. I wonder whom you guys are calling out to then. Isn’t it the same judiciary.
    The PM speaks on our behalf and the citizenry is perturb with the leniency showed by some of these judges towards the criminals. Its like they are doing this to spite us.

  13. I confirm that Swaby is a Jamaican national. I must also note that he has connections in the police force, and is also known to the courts. He must be deported, but before so, he must do jail time here and pay for his crimes and not just deported back to Jamaica as a free man to go to another country to commit more crimes. He needs to be incarcerated so he can reflect on his actions before sent back home.

  14. richard wife is a JAMAICAN too, but she is law-abiding. Too bad for him that Gisele done make it clear she no want no JAMAICAN FIRST LADY in Antigua government.

  15. The prime minister needs to get these police officers to resign if they are too old for the job. These criminals need to get their a$$ going out of our country and return to hole their came from. Any know Antiguan who facilitates these criminals elements should be charged with them. The law has to change these know sketchy female run into bed with them and have no idea of their criminal history. The GOVERNMENT needs to do better stop putting foreigners as head of every thing in our country they not in the best interests of our country charity begins at home. We’re letting in all these garbage into our country and they are destroying it. Tourism is going to DIE because of the crime just like Jamaica. DEPORT them we don’t want them here and if any Antiguan sign for them charge them. We don’t care if they have children here let them go and if the female want to go let them go. Jamaican are cursed every where these people go is criminal behavior and bad mind they have. We need to overhaul the immigration system we need a generational Antiguan at the head of immigration we need to clean house in Antigua starting from the top.

  16. the entire Police Force, Army, Customs, Treasury and ONDCP lneed to be investigated pure corruption and sin correcting sin 😑
