Hang them. Problem solved.
When will these charges ever go to trial?
I will bet my bottom dollar it will take about 10 years before they reach trial.
Prove me wrong.
To me those bail amounts are RIDICULOUS. Anyways
I dont know but I see the other Islands posting photos of charge people for the crime, and here in St,Lucia I never see any photo. . Where are the news reporters, no one seems to give a dam about that now, we dont even see them from the court house, I guess all the reporters seem to follow PJP and Chastenet only
THE GOVERNMENT HAS A SERIOUS
LOVE AFFAIR WITH THIS DISGUSTING
DEMONIC CRIMINAL PLACE CALLED
GRAVEYARD.
Nothing goes on in the graveyard
But murders, robberies and drugs
The Judiciary Shitstem in St.Lucia encourages Criminal activity
Che , why U chose to lime with them neg mawohs,U go inside deh for stealing ,U still go back and take cocaine to do de same shate?, your mom is hurting bad bad,she raised you good
The real issue here is the age group involved in these crimes. Young men in their 20s and younger. We have systemic problem is St.Lucia and if not addressed soon will bring our entire nation down.
Coke and crack are very addictive and consumers will do anything to sustain the habit. Our system is too lenient on criminals and therefore encourages criminality. If the powers that be were serious about discouraging criminality, they would post pictures of criminals like Dominica and elsewhere does, triple the bail amounts, lengthen jail time and set lengthy probation periods after spending time in jail. Jail birds should be made to work for the food and accommodations they receive. Make they clean the gutters all around the island and the weeds on our beaches. They should be keeping our parks clean. We need to change the approach otherwise it might get too late.
Include some lashes in the punishment, a fine, jail time, and scrubbing the floor or floors of the courts with a toothbrush.

In vieux all they do is sell stolen food for the women to sell by the road side . The women are giving them 5 dollars for a bunch of plantain and green figs to buy crack cocaine for them to smoke if you see the amount of grown ass men who use the La Ressource river as a toilet
STOP LOOKING UP TOO
THIEVES DRUG DEALING
MURDER RAPIST CRIMINALS
AND CALLING THEM BOSSES
The GRAVE YARD, RF ADOTED HOME.
Alias sick and blue they are living up to their name — it is really crazy in St. Lucia and to those who are purchasing stolen items from thieves and drug addicts — you are contributing to their ill gotten gains as well as their drug addiction and the blood will certainly be on your hands and you will suffer for it along with your descendants.
Drug addiction kills and taking what does not rightfully belong to you is stealing and morally wrong – some of you need to research and learn instead of trying to get over by any means necessary – the accomplice is worst than the thief —swutweeuyez malvetayes — will certainly reap what they sow.
Criminals with no face! After meeting bail, these same ones will be hired by innocent law abiding citizens and business people, only to be robbed again. Post their darn mugshots …maybe this will deter them!
The farmers are putting cock say pa in the plantains and green fig because of thieves in La Ressource I even got a needle in a plantain people be careful from who you buy food from …
The cash bail is too low. Low Cash Bail is another Term for Catch And Release.
