Unfortunately, the age of victims and offenders is getting younger … who is going to make a difference in the life of our youth? When will the powers that be stop giving youth and youth programs lip service? 🤔
I am sure that he was a good boy
Yes he was bipolar ok
Look carefully do you see any bag strapped around his neck not all that are kill is part of a gang these days people get shot for just knowing a gang member. Yes I know gang members family always say he was a good boy and u have everything right to your opinion
A good boy
@bipolar I can’t say he was a good boy but from what I know he always play like he’s a bad boy and he’s a big man never wants to listen to his mother always taking her for papishow but what can I say these kids choose the path they want to live. May his young soul rest in peace
So the numbers are getting lower and lower; it used to be from 18 – 28. what is happening in St. Lucia? from Road accidents to killing each other; what could this young man have done or have known to end up dead? obviously there are evil spirits let loose every where. Will the Christian Churches come alive? People find Christ and Pray Morning, noon and Night, the time is near.
#Fox, sad to say, but some of the people who are being paid to uphold law and order in this country are enablers and part of the problem. They are busy shielding their family and friends from facing the consequences of their actions . One officer at the Babonneau police station is refusing to give information to my insurance company so that they can file a claim against someone who damaged my property. And the insurance agent said this isn’t the first instance where they have seen this scenario. What if I were a vengeful person and decided to take matters into my own hands? It would be another of those situations with people wondering what is going on in St Lucia. So there you have part of the problem. I experienced it first hand. A very disturbing situation to process .
It all has to do with poor parenting skills. Too many young children are having children. Too many parents in society allow their children to have their own way. Many of our youth today are being bullied by their peers at school, on the playground, and even at church. Parents need to stand as parents and train up their child(ren)in the right way so when they are old they will not depart from it. Too many times we as parents comprise and give our child(ren)what they want and not what they need. It is high time that we bring back community parenting and community policing. Too many times we’ve blame the government. Government alone can not do it all. All works of life have to join hands and forces together to bring back unity, love, and combat crime in our society. People are becoming too arrogant and selfish. Let us stand for who we are and not what we are. Put an end to violence!!!!! End it now!!!!
We fail to settle our differences in love. We tend to settle our differences with the help of weapons. We need to be more vigilant.
There is no point in good boy or bad boy discussions here. The fact still remains that humans are being killed with no penalties for the killer. Crimes cannot go unpunished in a society, especially murder.
One bad boy killing another bad boy leaves one bad boy walking among good people. The thing is now he is a killer. That killer just might kill one of your good boys the next time
@Just Saying, bribery is the order of the day. Especially at that particular police station.
