POLICE CALL FOR SOBER BEHAVIOR FOR REMAINDER OF CARNIVAL

The Police Administration is calling upon the general public to conduct themselves soberly and responsibly for the remainder of the carnival season.

The appeal comes as several fights broke out among revellers armed with weapons, during Monday’s J’ouvert Morning Street Jam in St. Johns.

This resulted in the police taking a decision to bring an early end to the J’ouvert celebrations after careful assessment and consideration for the safety and security of thousands of revellers on the streets in the city.

The crowds were asked to disperse to prevent a further breach of the peace, and this was done without any further incidents.

Two persons were taken to the hospital with stab wounds, following a fight on Redcliffe Street. They are said to be in stable condition and their injuries are not life-threatening.

Meanwhile, the police continue to appeal for a safe end to Carnival 2024. Members of the public are warned from carrying around sharp or blunt objects, such as knives, scissors, pieces of wood, or iron on their person.

Anyone found with these items will be arrested.

Additionally, the police are once again appealing to street vendors and bar owners to cooperate with authorities and desist from selling drinks in glass bottles and cans.

Failure to comply will result in your removal from the streets and revocation of liquor licenses.

The Police Administration is taking this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and peaceful Carnival.

  1. Better cancel last lap while you can lol. Next year carnival will be no jouvert and no last laps only parades 😂😂😂. Everything in Antigua gone to shit

  2. Before carnival and J’ouvert morning, incidents of knife crimes in Antigua was on the rise for a few years now; and concerned citizens were calling out for action and a reaction from the Commissioner of Police Attlee Rodney.

    His response was more than non-existent.

    And here we are with a knife crime within a week or so of carnival, and the police response has been SWIFT and on point to stop further mayhem.

    TAKE NOTE COMMISSIONER, THAT’S ALL ANTIGUANS ARE ASKING FOR …

  3. THEN: …JAM AND PRANCE: NOW: …JAM AND STAB: WANT OF COMBATIVE STRATEGY…?

    Though not necessarily so for some years, ‘…Carnival Then,’ ‘…Sir McLean Emmanuel KGCN, Mighty Monarch-King Short Shirt, wanted ‘…REVELLERS AND VISITORS’ to have a good time fun.

    Clearly wishing everyone to have good clean and painless fun, he sang: ‘…JAM AND PRANCE.’

    TODAY- JAM AND STAB

    The ‘…HOOLIGANS,’ disguised as ‘…REVELLERS,’ appear to be using ‘…Carnival’ to ‘…JAM AND STAB.’

    Then all law-abiding citizens are seeing is:

    (a) ‘…POLICE CHUCKING DOWN INEBRIATED FEMALE PATRONS, seemingly, too drunken to
    ‘….RISE.’

    NOW: …PROGRAMMED ROUTINE

    All that participants are hearing or reading on social media, is an apparent ‘…Programmed Routine,’ of:

    (b) ‘…Talk and more Talk:

    COMBATIVE STRATEGY: …AGONY AND MISERY

    Then without ‘…COMBATIVE STRATEGY,’ and adding to their ‘…AGONY AND MISERY,’ are:

    (c) …MEANINGLESS APPEALS AND MORE APPEALS.’

    CITIZEN’S PROTECTION

    Protect your darn selves. ‘…Be ye not afraid.’

    The ‘…Constitution Order’ so provides for ‘…CITIZEN’S PROTECTION’ [CO: 1981: Section 4
    (1)].

    Still be Careful.

    STAY AWAY FROM HARM AND DANGER.’

  4. Did the Police bring the ARISE fete to a screeching halt following the videotape incident currently making the rounds via social media dubbed Police Brutality in action???

  5. Call for sober behavior?? Lmao😂🤣….The only way that is going to happen is to ban alcohol during the fetes and carnival festivities…They are going to be drunk and out of control and the youths fueled with anger from disputes are going to be high, drunk and armed… Unfortunate reality…

  6. really now, ONLY IN ANTIGUA WHAT A REMARK TO MAKE …….WITH THOUSANDS DIEING AROUND THE WORLD……….

    Antigua nice, better believe that. speedily recovery to all who got injured.

    I am happy for no lost of life.
