He is very lucky to be alive …
Well since we the public must help the police, we might as well start helping ourselves too.
Sal09 la! But I bet he still eh learn his lesson.
u eh get enough stabs .. high time people start to retaliate against them useless good for nothing thieves
That one messed with the wrong one . Expect more of the same as we go. Crime has become so rampant, and security so lapse, that law abiding citizens are arming themselves for personal protection. Although this is not a lawful trend, it will surely bring positive results the greater the frequency. Would be attackers may want to give their wicked intentions a second thought. People would not have to resort to vigilante justice if there was effective deterrence. Build more prisons and tighten penalties.
Very good news
..excellent
You simply got what your deed desrve,next time see and don’t touch !!
If you are in hunger ask and you will receive..
May God bless to get a job
You had every right to defend your property and yourself.
I only hope the snatcher is charged. Now, you sustained stab wounds, have a hospital bill to pay, will be charged and maybe,faced prison sentence.
Does your actions worth it, find a job to do and stop stealing what’s not yours.
See where he ran to? The police station. Because they know the law protects the criminal in SLU. So law abiding citizens do what you have to do.
Vigilantism is normally a symptom of breakdown in law and order. Citizens are frustrated with the system and resort to their forms of justice.
My personal view of the matter is the criminal deserved precisely what he received from the member of the public. If the law can’t do it, the public should do it. The criminal should never be rewarded for deviant behavior. Never, ever want to go down that slippery slope.
Just a matter of time before his “human rights representative” clamour about the justice he richly deserved. There are no victims in her delusional world.
U shouldn’t be charged for defending yourself and ur property but st lucia loves criminals so..
Waiting to hear from the ‘enablers of the perpetrators’, so called ‘human rights lawyers’.
Another stage in a lawless, rogue state, broken down state is when law abiding citizens start to take matters into their own hands. The primary reasons for that are no faith in law enforcement or fundamental rights of a human being ie protect yourself and property by any means necessary aka eliminate the threat!!!!
