Everything in done in the extreme these days, the arguments, the crazy driving on our roads, the nepotism, the cronyism, the corruption, the switching of political sides, the thieving and the lying. ANTIGUA PUYLE
I can understand and agree to settle despite lawfully, BUT the system doesn’t work for us and takes forever yeaeeeeeeeers to have a court hearing…….reports take forever, investigation take forever. Everything in 108 going backwards…… there is no trust in the security force or the system.
This is confusing. We know its father and son however ANR let us know which of the Benjamins got what charge. ANR journalism is like torturing yourself with Maurice merchant and max Hurst
The amount of gun out here just amazes me each time! I can’t come to terms with any of it
I guess the police definition of Peacefully and a civilian definition of peacefully should be looked at differently. On the other hand they won’t care cause in Antigua.news video on Khaleel incident, the Minister of National Security, Cutie Benjamin said that he thinks his police acted in the right manner. Sooo if the head doesn’t care then the body wont
Police telling people to resolve dispute peacefully yet they killing people like flies….shooting teenagers on their birthday….manny james…
Seem fo be deadly brothers. Twin perhaps. But that’s double trouble. Must be these babies who were terrible since in belly. Lock them up
My sentiments exactly I’m confused.
Brian and Bryan Benjamin. Hmmmmm
