And you ask yourself why this country failing. A fully auto assault rifle. Lil slap on wrist. Good luck fixing the problem. Anywhere else that actually has laws. You locked down for at least a year before your case even heard n of first time offense maybe 500k bail on that. Choops
And Mr PM is running to the USA for help to control illegal guns in the country are you F$&##%& KIDDING ME??? these small amount of bail money is petty cash for these thugs but hey again this is the results of the St Lucian people who decided to put a donkey in a horse race or i guess they still have the ESPOIR OF THE MALE PAPAYE LA
14k for a fully automatic assault weapon? This is a joke right? These laws need to be revisited since we’re facing unprecedented times regarding crime.
I would like to ask again …… are we serious about solving gun violence and crime in st Lucia??? Our elected government, those who are responsible for our youth and children are we really serious?? My god my head hurts, I’m terrified, I’m nervous, lord , my lord , mr pjp I’m crying for our children safety. Please please put tougher law in place for those heartless criminals in our country please . I strongly believe that we are being taken on a nasty and dangerous ride . If I wasn’t hearing I understood now .
