Oh my beloved ANTIGUA!!!
I WEEP.
These kids obviously didn’t see or hear the Prime Minister’s address. Thus is so troubling and worrysome. These bandits are gearing up for some serious cut down by the security forces if caught. It’s a most frightening time in this country now.
Early teens between 5′ 3″ and 5′ 5″ in height… Little kids running around with guns! What does that tell you ANR readers?
Kids with guns are extremely dangerous. I hope the police catch them and take them off our streets.
Remember when Gaston Browne allowed gangs from Point and Bobby Alley to take place at J’ouvert (was it last year or the year before?); and now these gangs have turned round and SPAT the Prime Minister’s GENEROSITY back in his face!
HOPEFULLY YOUR RECENT “STRONG” WORDS WILL NOT COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU …
ACTIONS NOW!!!
I watch a adult punch a teen who is know to be in a gang in the face. He went away and return with others armed with machett and something looks like a tsunami gun. I would not be surprised if he was those youths go missing one by one knowing the character of the guy who did the punching. So there will be a push back by civilians and law enforcement
There is obvious a bigger concern here. How the hell did teenagers, 14 or 15 years old get guns? They’re not working anyplace, how can they afford guns?
Someone here who has clout is trafficking guns and it must be a lucrative business.
How stupid Gaston Browne looks. Right in his constituency, hours after his nothing, no plan speach. This whole thing just has more to it that they’re not telling us.
The cops seem adept at finding contrabands, hard is it to find guns? Rumor has it the cops know more than they’re letting on.
Unless we remove these hoodlums, it will deteriorate.

one article says 200 now this says 900 👀
Antigua and Barbuda: here is my take on this rise in violence especially among the youths. I believe there is an entity or entities in Antigua who is (are) bankrolling the violence. That entity is arming and paying these young people to do this with the additional benefit of their keeping their ill gotten gains. It will be eventually revealed and sooner than later. Who is behind this organization for criminal activity? I do not know. However, I strongly believe it is politically motivated. You can go figure now. There, I said it.
