  1. FACTS NOT PROPERLY MARTIALED – INCORRECTLY DISSEMINATED

    Occasional shopper.

    Visited when news broke. After investigators cleared ‘…Crime Scene,’ business continued as usual.

    NOW:

    It has been the ‘…Professional Training’ that ‘…FACTS NOT PROPERLY MARTIALED,’ would always be evident in:

    (a) ‘…Ill-Prepared Press Releases: and

    (b) …Incorrectly Disseminated’ to the media.’

    FACTS

    (i) ‘…Robbery allegedly occurred at ‘…CALT SUPERETTE-[Parham]:

    (ii) …Crime Scene ‘…CALT SUPERETTE:

    (iii) …Robbers-two armed males:

    (iii) …Both allegedly trained an apparent:

    (a) ‘…Real Firearm: and

    (b) …Modified ‘…FLARE GUN’ at young female Cashier:

    (c) …Three other females (including Part Owner), reportedly hastily removed themselves
    from the ‘…SIGHTS’ of both ‘…Robbers and Guns.’

    CASH TILL ORDERED OPENED

    Allegedly ordered ‘…CASH TILL’ opened, Robber with ‘…Real Gun,’ sat on ‘…Mini Counter,’ and simply removed Cash in ‘…Denominational Notes of ‘…EC$100: …50: …20: and …10.’
    Sum confidently disclosed

    TWO MINUTE-ROBBERS

    Within approximately ‘…TWO MINUTES,’ Robbers reportedly fled the ‘…CRIME SCENE’ with both: ‘…GUNS AND CASH.’

    SEIZED WEAPONS

    While Law enforcers may have ‘…SEIZED WEAPONS’ allegedly used in the ‘…Brazen Daylight Robbery,’ it was certainly ‘NOT’ at ‘…CALT SUPERETTE-PARHAM.’

    POLICE PRESS RELEASE

    Thus, when ‘…Police Press Release’ states: ‘…The Police recovered a Firearm and Modified Flare Gun at the Crime Scene’ [Paragraph 6], know that this does not represent ‘…FACT.’

    While citizens may have breathed a sigh of relief, there is to be held a ‘…CORONER’S INQUEST.

    POLICE KILLERS: PROCEDURALLY-FAR FROM OVER

    Will know, if the ‘KILLING’ was:

    (a) ‘…Justified Homicide: or if it was

    (b) …AN EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING.’

  2. This judiciary system is a vomit in well beign Christian. What about the Syrian man get Wipeout in old prham road business??? The suspect culprit walking around Armour as a CLOWN..sorry,OFFICER..since his estranged release!!..

  3. This police behavior after the shooting..ithwir deserves THE MAXIMUS CLOWNING ACTUATION!!… DEMMM why their not finish the demmm job???? Looking this scumbag punk crying as a shitt.. baby!!!.. tonight,a lot ill to be gangster (ladies and shitty gentleman ) in Jennings..are worry for this piece of garbage human being. WAIT FOR RETALIATION ACCORDING the bullshit Jamaican dance crap

  4. Point taken here lef them mek them bleed out and till bang them pan tap um….. Do u know how hard it is for u to leave home saying you do a fear day’s pay and boom them na work fu um but them coming armed and tek what’s not there’s? (2) U leave home from your family knowing you going back home to them but with fear, fright and traumatized? Bullshit kill them kunt 10 more times harder. As me say JOB WELL DONE N HATS OFF TO THOSE OFFICERS TODAY ON HELPING THE COUNTRY GOING THROUGH THE FEAR RIGHT NOW WITH ALL THEM BRAIZEN ROBBERY. If you know how I watching the video from yesterday and it bun me o weh the coins. U D BOSS U MIN WORK FU UM?? KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB GUYS.

  5. When you have a job to do. You do it. Your personal feelings nuh matter! Having this attitude ensures that you also cannot be Bribed with Ca$h or Sexual favors. We refer to it as being professional.

  6. Yes Mr. Pompey you are correct. While the Police press release says that the guns were recovered at the crime scene, the Commissioner of Police in his report on the matter says that the guns were recovered from the robbers vehicle which was in Ebenezer. We will see if the killing was extra- judicial but I will doubt that very much if the robbers were returning fire. These blatant and outrageous daylight robberies must stop and the use of a child in one such recent robbery is beyond outrageous.

  7. @Pompey. I really appreciate you input on this, because I was thinking the same thing but probably wouldn’t be able to delineate as skillfully as you, myself not being trained. But suffice it to say, something was amiss with the reporting. I’ve seen in so many other situations, locally and in other caribbean countries, where these things get to the court and it’s a disappointing outcome for iohn public due to procedural shortcomings and lack of proper documentary evidence.

  8. That’s what am talking about. These Clowns sit and watch YouTube, smoke weed, listening to these sorry ass music, walking around with their dottie boxers showing, terrorizing people and robbing business left and right. It’s about time you show them who is boss, shoot all a them dead, set a useless punks, want to be Gangsters, the Dan and as they say General.
    Look at them! sit on the corner all day with nothing but evil on their minds. Great job officers and I hope nobody come on here crying. Set a loosers.

  9. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT: …IMMENSE PLEASURE: …BAKING DOUGH: …DEATH SQUADS

    EBENEZER PUBLIC ROAD

    That which reportedly transpired at ‘…EBENEZER PUBLIC ROAD,’ appeared to have brought ‘…IMMENSE PLEASURE,’ to some citizens.

    Still, it does not bring ‘…RELIEF,’ neither temporarily, nor permanently.

    Moreover, it will not heinous prevent or stop heinous criminal activities.’

    DEATH SQUADS

    Can state without fear of contradiction, frowning and consternation, ‘…POLICE DO NOT OPERATE DEATH SQUADS.’

    In any ‘DEMOCRACY,’ this has never been accepted as:

    (a) ‘…CRIME FIGHTING UNIT: nor
    (b) …CRIME FIGHTING STRATEGY.’

    It speaks not only to ‘…Inefficiency: and …Incompetency: but also …Impotency.’

    ONE MAY ASK:

    (i) ‘…GUYANA:
    (ii) …Jamaica: and
    (iii) …ST. LUCIA.’

    My friends:

    (i) ‘…Attorney-at-Law, Charlesworth Tabor: and

    (ii) …SPAR PAR,’ you are ‘…Absolutely Correct.’

    BRAZEN AND BROAD DAYLIGHT ROBBERIES- FREQUENCY

    The ‘ Frequency of Brazen and Broad Daylight Robberies,’ was not only ‘…OUTRAGEOUS,’ but also ‘…HORROR-FILLED’ and most troubling to every:

    (a) ‘…Man:

    (b) …Woman:

    (c) …CHILD:’ and more particularly

    (d) …The ‘…UNARMED AND DEFENCELESS BUSINESS COMMUNITY.’

    DEPRIVATION OF LIFE: …PREVENTION OF CRIME

    The Constitution Order, since ‘…1981,’ anticipated that there would be ‘ ‘…KILLINGS,’ by both:

    (i) ‘…The law-abiding ‘CITIZENS: and

    (ii) …LAW ENFORCERS.’

    In providing ‘…JUSTIFICATION’ for such ‘…KILLINGS,’ it states:

    ‘…A person shall not be regarded as having been ‘…Deprived of his/her life,’ if he/she dies as the result of the ‘…USE:’

    (a) ‘…Such Extent: and

    (b) …CIRCUMSTANCES: as are

    (c) …Permitted by Law: of

    (d) …Such force as is ‘…REASONABLY JUSTIFIABLE.’

    THE CIRCUMSTANCES

    (i) ‘…For the ‘…DEFENCE’ of any person from ‘…VIOLENCE (On View):
    (ii) …Defence of ‘…PROPERTY (On View: or
    (iii) …Effecting a …LAWFUL ARREST: (On View): or
    (iv) …Preventing a person ‘…LAWFULLY DETAINED (Self-Explanatory): or
    (v) …Lawfully preventing that person from ‘…COMMITTING A CRIMINAL OFFENCE’ (On
    View) [CO: 1981: Section 4].

    NOTE

    Law enforcers and Citizens may ‘…Screen-shot’ or read ‘…THE CIRCUMSTANCES’ from the ‘…CONSTITUTION ORDER.’

    DOUGH OR BATTER

    While one may knead into ‘…DOUGH’ or make a ‘…BATTER’ with all the necessary ingredients,’ it has always been the ‘…END RESULTS.’

    THAT WHICH COUNTS…? WOULD IT BE…?

    (a) ‘…The BAKING:’ or
    (b) …The EATING?’

    WALK GOOD.

  10. Everything living ting in that Mark X should have dead on the spot, that car should have been holy with bullet holes.
    Police, complete your job, if you gonna do it, do it prappa.
    If you need help doing your job prappa just ask for help.

  11. If the police asked them to stop and the criminals opened fire then of course the police were in the right. They should have stopped and surrendered. Even if they didn’t fire first they were a threat. Perhaps the police tried a non-fatal shot first and they responded. No one cares. The police neutralized the threat. One ended up dead. Hopefully he said a prayer before having to meet his maker. The others were injured and presumably stopped shooting. So, the police stopped shooting as they rightly should. There was no need for the police to do anything else to them once they were no longer a threat. If they recover they will go to jail for hopefully a long time. They will likely be left with injuries that will remind them of the incident. Justice is served. All law abiding citizens just want is for the criminals to stop their behaviour and find honest work to do. But, if they don’t society has a right to defend itself. Hopefully other young would be robbers will reconsider their life choices. YouTube, T.V. and gangster movies are a lie. Being a criminal always just eventually gets you either in jail or dead at a young age. Antigua is a small place. There is no where to run. Criminals will always eventually get caught. Change your life now.
