  1. Yeah, the JACKASS from City West said crime is down, and his idiotic supporters believed that shit. Because there is a rainy season and there is no rain for a few days doesn’t mean the season is over. Crime will not go down until we get rid of the real criminals

  2. So the criminals can easily get reprieve if they discard the ‘hot firearms however they see fit’. That callous, reckless, dangerous statement will be haunting us for a very long time, if not forever.

  3. Mr. PM don’t you think it’s time for a Cabinet re-shuffle? We need to get rid of that Big Fat Blob that is the Attorney General, that is a monthly salary wasted, some say you are afraid to touch him because of the planned overthrow. That’s one of the reasons i left the Party

  4. Waiting to hear something from Faithful National #1. He always has something to say on the topic of crime, I know he will not disappoint

  5. Firstly condolences to the family 🙏
    @Zackie Scripture often speaks to the power of prayer and its impact on communities and nations.

    While a National Day of Prayer does not guarantee the immediate eradication of all societal ills, such as crime, its significance lies in its ability to invoke divine favor and guidance. The Bible teaches us that persistent prayer can yield profound results.

    For instance, the Lord’s Prayer itself, found in Matthew 6:11, includes the petition, “Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” This highlights a request for provision and forgiveness, acknowledging our dependence on a higher power for daily sustenance and moral well-being.

    Furthermore, passages like Revelation 4:11 and 5:12, 13, declare, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” This underscores the ultimate sovereignty of God, to whom all creation owes its existence and to whom prayers are directed.

    While specific prayers might not immediately halt criminal activity, the collective act of prayer can influence hearts and minds, leading to a gradual shift in societal values and behaviors.

  7. Only time will tell!

    These criminals need to know that the bucket always go to the well for water, but some day the bottom of the bucket will drop.out, which simply means their luck will run out.

    Additionally, our laws need to be more stringent. The country has had so many amnesties and yet still…… when caught these criminals need to feel the full brunt of the law

  8. Why these people are so wicked but God is going to deal with them look work to do the man work and you want what the man work for and still kill him for it wait till some of you start get payback cause it’s a bitch cowards my condolences to the family rip Charlie
