I would have love to have a 15 years old daughter to see her graduate and enter university…
Guwop 🤐g.s
whoever did this, must face the same punishment.
And so the beat goes on.
We are deluded and mistaken if we feel that the ineptitude of the St Lucia Police Force with the resultant increase in crime, will not mean that mayhem will go beyond the deaths of just the young men.
Women, the socio economic elites and even tourists will feel the pain caused by the incompetence of the SLP leadership.
With their hypocrisy, arrogance and high threshold for incompetence and corruption the SLP leadership is slowly but surely gutting our society from the top down.
Children, teenagers, women are now victims of this complete inability to govern properly.
I see some of these ministers strutting around with their arrogant smiles as they live high off the hog completely unaware of the role they are supposed to play in society. Their only focus is on filling their pockets and they judge their success on that.
Where oh where are the statesman we so desperately need?
What’s the death total so far please give St Lucians the real number
65 homicides so far. Projected homicides in 2024: 82 at current trajectory. Projected homicide rate: 45.62 per 100,000 people. In 1994 the Homicide rate was 6.64 per 100,000 people. That’s a 6.87 times increase in 30 years. What a sad statistic.
@ Statistician it is actually 66. Over the weekend the Vieux Fort police indicated that one Campsell of Pierrot was a homicide based on the results of his autopsy.
@Anonymous Maybe it is her punishment that she faced for practicing the same
What school did she attend ?
When a man or woman is in their home and decides to choose violence against each other which leads to death, which politician or police can stop that? If I have been a close friend and we have a great relationship, and one day for whatever reason, we choose violence which leads to a death, which politician or police can stop that? If I am low-level “bad boy” and I am given a few dollars and the boss commands me to take somebody out, which politician or police can stop that? I can go on and on,. The point is, no one can prevent another person from engaging in criminality. And we saw that when Chas made the statement, “if Kenny cannot take care of crime, I will.” No one can be so definitive as it relates to crime. Why? Because we can’t control people.
Yes, I know. The government must implement programmes to ameliorate crime but this is no guarantee. Remember the priest who wanted to train young men in V/Fort? A few came but all they wanted was “bongs and draw” until the priest’s attempt fell flat.
