Gangsters will suddenly disappear white folks will be all over the place like ants, his premium hacks will leave their balcony, they will finally be able to drive thru Castries with the window down, oh it will be nothing but happy days.
“Generation wipeout” … What a world 😔 We really need to put politics aside and appreciate social development as what it is: the process whereby through social policy our children are empowered to grow and become productive citizens …NO PARTY COLOURS just pure innocent children …
The devil is going all-out for the blood of Lucians, and like bulls to the slaughter –Helen is going all-out to feed the devil’s craving for more and more Lucian blood! Yet, few seem as if they are truly interested in repenting of their evil ways before God, and fewer still are genuinely turning to God for deliverance from sin and damnation! Unless the people of this nation repent and turn to God, the nation will continue its tragic slide into the abyss!
Babonneau again? if you ever catch the shooter, don’t jail him in Babonneau; if you do, within a few hours, he is gone. It is said the Jailer received something and the killer arrived in Jamaica & was Jailed there on a number of crimes; did St. Lucia ask for him to be tried?
A similar case earlier this year, a local shooter just walker out; never found him; are the Guards still on the job? were they ever fired? promoted? suspended for a while? this Government kept that quiet – don’t lock-up criminals in Babonneau. That didn’t happen under Allan Bousquet.
All u expect God to walk miracles when the church leaders will not criticise govt handling of crime because they support the party. SMH.
@#The Fox; you try to sound so informed but Babbonneau didn’t have a police station back when Allan Bousquet was a rep.
@ LoL :- When Bousquet was a Rep; the people respected each other & him too
Today they respect no one, not even themselves, the Law, not even God & His Law; do not kill. God forbid when you kill, don’t be a neg marron, stay and face the music, don’t run.
Lucians you all crying you all have alot more crying to do. Sootoo weers
why cant our people look pass politics it look like the majority is brain wash and enslave themselves with politricks. now I seeing chas was right when he said only a few wise people In Lucia
I just put it in my own words
