REAL NEWS: A Villa man is reporting that the son of a prominent politician assaulted him, while accusing him of having committed a recent burglary.
The alleged victim said he was on the way to a neighbourhood shop on Monday afternoon, April 19, when the well-known young man saw him, jumped out of a white pick-up truck, and accosted him on the street.
The Villa man alleges that his assailant grabbed him by the throat, threw him against a fence, and manhandled him, while accusing him of having broken into the house of the assailant’s mother and robbing her at knifepoint.
He did not fight back, the man says, since he was not only taken by surprise but saw that the person attacking him was carrying a gun on his body.
As a result, the victim says, he sustained a number of bruises when he fell against a concrete fence post and then was dragged on the ground. His leg was also injured, he says, and was swollen.
The matter was reported to the St John’s Police Station and the victim was given a medical form to present at the hospital. However, he was not attended to at Mount St. John on Monday evening.
A Police source explains that, because the man was not accompanied by an officer, he would not have been treated as a priority, and therefore faced a wait of several hours at the hospital.
However, on Tuesday, the victim visited a private doctor, who saw to the bruises on his limbs, and the medical form was later submitted at the police station.
Another source tells REAL News that the form was handed in at the desk and not to the officer who initially handled the matter.
Therefore, the person fears that – because the politician’s son is powerfully connected – the Police will not pursue the matter, or the victim will be “persuaded” not to pursue a case.

May we all start our day today with a PEACEFUL mind, a JOYFUL heart and with a LOVING relationship to the world around us. At the start of this new day we have an opportunity to create a new reality, so let us IMAGINE the world that we would really like to live in.
Put on the full armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools.

What does this have to do with the news article?
Threat with intent to harm , actual harm , license to carry weapon ( not sure ) and I believe him seeing the gun wasn’t an accident but by design.
Smh, were you there?
What politician’s son is carrying a gun???? Injustice will not be tolerated, and that includes thugs who carry guns. Remember Minneapolis!
Son ?
If it was anybody else son besides a politician son the name would be identified
Karma is indeed a b***h and what goes around comes around
Your display name son
Do they have concealed carry and or open carry gun laws in Antigua and Barbuda. Because if you have concealed carry gun laws. No part of that gun can be displayed in public. That is the law where I am living. How could anyone just attacked someone in a manner described without concrete proof. Could the mother of the gun carry son identified the alleged perpetrator. This matter needs to be investigated fully. No bullshit. Regardless of whom that person is related to. It should not make one damn difference. You cannot just assault someone. Because you have a belief. That the person whom you are attacking is of a nefarious character. We as a people should watch this and see where it goes.
Now mind you, had the person retaliated and defended himself….we would hear another story. If he had picked up a stone and bashed it across his head to defend himself, we would hear that it was him who attacked the politician’s son. I tell you though….what goes around comes around.
Name the politician’s son even if you say alleged. Anybody else’s picney would be named. It is just possible that the individual committed the crime, but that was for the courts to decide.
Key points:
Incident happened in villa
Well known politician
Politician son drives White pick up
Firearm (probably license)
Mother of politician son probably lives in the area
*Strong possibility is the constituency the politian runs.
If he suspect the guy break in his mothers house make a report to the police station, suppose the boy family member would be a radical individual and saw the incident could have been a different story
Politician talk to your son! Is not everybody is going to care whose well connected son it is
LOL ” Rock steady ” is your head hard like a rock . HOW DO YOU KNOW THE STORY YOU ARE READING IS REAL WERE YOU THERE ?
When the same son was seen on a party boat a few months ago breaking covid protocols, nothing was done. They all believe the law is not for them.
If they don’t want to name the “son”, then name the politician. The people have a right to know. DO it nOW!
mount kill john as usual with their BS……..
He should have taken matters in his hands. The scumbag politician’s son will get away again with it. Only one way he will never do that again.
