  1. Truce after ppl done lost their lives….was this even a war???were they even a gang??? Or thats jus the label …..crazy how easy it was for them to get together after all that…..wonder how the parents feel knowing their child aint coming back and yall make peace so quick

  2. A stage play was just performed and the people enjoyed it… Problem, Reaction, Solution.
    Look at the amendments that were made due to this performance. It’s lock-step at its best!

    P.S The produc3rs signed their nam3s if you know where to look lol

  3. Them pussy boy a no none gang man, jus a bunch a lazy ass that no want fu work. No real gang man can just get up an walk out a real gang just like that without having to watch them back 24/7, then having everyone playing friendly football game against people who suppose to be your rival is on heard of in gang war. Didn’t these gangs committed any hard core crimes? Don’t they have any top notch secrets that can lead to take downs or even assassination of members? As I said before our gangs have to be the cleanest in the world.

  4. All the best to these young men. Make something of yourselves and your future. Make yourseleves, your family and your country proud. though you may stumble along the way, do not stay down…rise…..rise…..rise

  5. @Carvaa – maybe you’re right. It was never really too much of a gang, just a group of misguided youths. Hopefully they get a better direction now.

  6. You can see how heartless some people are. You all talk with vengeance in the heart, but almighty God said vengeance is his. Instead of encouragement to the young men for making a change in their lives you all are talking shit. Be happy when you all see people changing for their selves, families and society on a whole. Stop being bad minded and wicked.

  7. @ janine loverty… my thoughts exactly… we are the way we are until the shoe is on the orher foot… i’m for re-integration and saving lives… i am saddened for those who would have list their lives or for their loved ones, but these things happwn all over… let’s be positive and continue to pray for our nation and our children…#godblessantiguaandbarbuda

  8. So my well behaved and law abiding sons now need to join a gang or misbehave to get government help or handouts?

    ANTIGUA HAS A DAMN FOOL IN CHARGE 🥸

  9. This is like instant oatmeal. Cooked right away. Solutions made. Everybody’s happy. Close the file on a successful venture. Except that that is not how the world works.
    It is true that a few of those boys will do well and become good tradesmen, but newsflash, most will not. Why? The whole process was flawed and badly implemented and was conceived, not to really help these young men, but to fuel one man’s ego.

    This new system that they have been introduced to will cause them confusion and make them rebellious at times. At other times, they will want to go back to their carefree days and times, and will not see why they have to follow ANY RULES they are now constricted by. The other students might be a hindrance to them. They might mock them or out class them. How will they handle these? Will they resort to aggression? Is there a counsellor to help keep them on the straight and narrow?
    Will they just take things from the others when they do not have or cannot get?
    After you have put on your football boots and shorts and run around the field like a young deer, you wake up next day with a sigh of relief. Don’t have to do that stupidness any more.
    No, it is not as simple as you packaged it to be, Sir. Everything does not fall in line as you want it as you go back to your regular job of running the nation come Monday.
    Newspapers write glowing stories and print pictures that make you out to be as a champion and a Mr Fix-It.

    No, Barse, not so the world works.

  10. One of the punks is even giving Gaston the middle finger🖕🏾 as in stick this up your a$$. Imagine what they’ll be telling the teachers and other students.
