  1. Just when everyone is looking forward to the fun and frolic of carnival……now this. A family thrown into mourning and fear, anxiety and dismay abounds and grips the Nation. Gun crime again! I worry for our young people. While the police is doing their uttermost to find illegal firearms, it is obvious that the amount of guns pouring into the country far exceeds what the police are able to catch and recover. It’s the Wild Wild West jungle out there right now and it’s frightening.

  2. Children live what they see. We adults need to be better role models. The harsh reality is that western world mindset is raising our Children. It starts at home.

  3. Gun violence is on the rise and it will never stop until we get intervention from the police and government. This madness needs to stop and it’s won’t now

  4. Shot in Villa???????
    Is Villa moveable??????
    Police please pick up the car owner.
    Match the bullet with the shell found in St Johnsons Village.
    Hold on to those who brought him to the hospital.
    Inquire which of them were on the robbery in St Johnsons Village.
    When parents allow their children to roam like wild animals and behave like vicious beast there are consequences.
    The young man was not shot in Villa.
    Please do not tarnish the name of Villa.
    Let the truth be told or many more will die.
    I thought the PeeeeeeeeeM said that the Two Drilly Gang was reformed.
    Not true.
    One member has left the gang forever.

  5. Good for he rasshole about time somebody stand up to them all them ah so a walk round n rob people and the government think we must just brush it under the rug and feel sorry because them ah youth me nuh feel sorry for he tarl when he and he friend rob my cousin them give him slap pon de wrist and let them go talking bout rehabilitation and program that nuh even last so good for he rass

  6. Let us suppose that he had shot and killed someone during his robbery escapade.

    Another innocent family would be mourning today and he would probably be out enjoying himself.

    I am not sorry for him.

    What I am sorry for is that the other one was not killed too. I am so sorry he is still alive today.

  7. Condolences to the family of a young boii only16 , I must say it’s sad to see a young life gone but on a another note is how his life gone ,trying to rob ppl enough is enough at the age of 16 thats wht u be doing ,pointing gun at ppl ,that means y wasn’t afraid to take someone life ,so yours gone ,RIP young boii ,wish u did survive so you could learn from ur mistake, guess ur friend will lean because it want his time ,

  8. I wish we could start charging parents for having raised criminals.
    “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” is a well-known proverb, found in Proverbs 22:6 of the Bible. It emphasizes the importance of early guidance and instruction for children, suggesting that the values and habits instilled in them during their formative years are likely to stay with them as they grow older.
    It all starts at the home. PARENTING.

  10. @Less We Forget:
    Then many embezzlers and fraudsters who are also criminals should be treated the same way too? Why not hold the entire Village responsible, since, it takes a village to raise a child. Many of us didn’t have maternal parents or grandparents around, to guide us from kids to teenagers to young adults to wise #boomers; yet, we never subscribe to this street thuggish, robbery, murder rassishness!
    It’s the ENERGY, of the ETHER which the culture and society is emerged in, surrounded by, swimming and some even drowning in.

    Listen [family] plays an important role, yes, yes, yes in the molding of HUEmans thought processes, but for the TRUTH SAKE, the sake of the truth’s of the realities of the times in which we are now living.
    Crime, criminality and their relationship to society is beyond, way beyond just “parent & child” relationships.

  11. Are there any civic organizations in
    Antigua ( boys scouts, girls guides, boy brigades, Cadet Corps) growing up we had all of these in addition to sports. These kids have too much time on their hands to be idle

    You have your views and so have I.
    I’m only quoting the bible verses. Here is another one.

    Proverbs 13:24 Context
    Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

  13. @Less We Forget…

    Truth and reality are two separate and very distinctive things, of HUEmanity, even though, they’re often used and misused in place of each other.

    Less You Forget, the said [bible] from which many love to dive into, in attempt to pacify, deny the REALITY of the TRUTHS, of HUEmanity is the one and same, and I repeat to you and your god(s), your bible is the same tool of indoctrination which was used, by both the government & church RULERS of the State to remove the FATHER from the child’s life, even before birth, by designating a child ILLEGITIMATE, ungodly, due to the fact, that their parents were not married or paying dues to some organized religious order.
    I quite sure, that an intelligent and informed individual like yourself is fully cognizant of these facts and truths…
    A…a father is even still being barred from observing the birth of his child, at the hospital (correct if I’m wrong).
    B…until recently about 40 years ago, the name of the FATHER was by law, eliminated from the birth certificate, of the child.

    Again, yes, yes, yes MATERNAL PARENTS, do have a significant role to play in the molding of a child’s thought process; however, in the TRUTH of HUEman REALITY’S, again when the PARENT – ADULT – CHILD is being molded, SOCIETY and CULTURE still plays a significant role, in the GAMES PEOPLE PLAY, because scientifically, I’M OK, YOU’RE OK! These are two books which are still widely used, to make sense, of the psychological behavior(s), of HUEmans.

    @Less We Forget, please be reminded, that two of your heroes Vere C. Bird Snr, Gaston Browne, and many other who’re living and dead have children with multiple women! How did their children turn out? Dr I they have the perfect Family Tree according to your [bible]?

  14. I can remember the government discussing compulsory cadets for teens. I those need to get some serious boot camps in place for these youngsters. From 12 years upwards they must got to the Cadet- unless they are involved in other meaningful extracurricular activities- sports, music , education excellence.

    In my quest to respond to you I am reminded of this quote from Mark Twain;
    “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
    And therefore I will keep it short with yet another biblical quote:
    Psalm 14
    King James Version
    1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

    2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

    3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

    4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

    5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

    6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

    7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
