Good work police!!!! Well done; I hope they get the book thrown at them.
@ Maths
Just the book you want them to throw, it should be the library. Too much thieving taking place with these young ones
It’s one thing to charge them. It’s another thing to prosecute them and have them locked away. The police must get their prosecutorial acumen upgraded and enhanced. Too many mistakes resulting in criminals walking free. We don’t have to look far to see and notice that our initial intervention with these kids was a failure. We took them to a place where they didn’t want to be and literally left them. They quit the program and were back on the streets terrorizing people. If we are offering help to these young “terrorists” we have to go the course with them …….follow up and hold their hands to the end. All we did was literally mask the situation. Our youths need help, meaningful help.
And so fooly.a thief go them friends …TO ALL U GANGS MEMBERS THAT A THIEVES AND A TERRORISED ..WE LITTLE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND. U WILL BE KIIL.GO MAD.OR IN JAIL…SO GO BK TO SCHOOL N LEARN A TRADE THE PM GIVE ALL A U A CHOICE..U WILL BE PAID ..IN FULL…IF U ALL DON’T LISTEN. Badness nu paid it brings PAIN..
Only in Antigua the right to remain silent is viewed as a crime. Let the cop do their work and stop ask help
Same police can’t help when u need them and to all who wish death on the youth I leave you in the hands of the same youth of tomorrow
@Audley Phillip what’s your solution or contribution?
So what’s the punishment for a police that provides false statements on their report?
I do not condone these crimes these young men are commiting, but how many false statements that have sent innocent people to prison?
Those same false statements have lead to criminals walking free down the road as well.
So justice must be pure from all ends.
And on that note, Manny’s killer(who is a police) is still on the job writing more of those false statements on his reports.
Get rid of the corruption in politics and in the judicial system…so start there.
