Less then 24 hours lord have mercy on our island
King Dyal : The only thing Black people have never done is like one another. That is the failure of Blacks. They do not like themselves.”

Ossie Moore: Here is the truth about crime in BLACK BARBADOS ( buhbados ).
Black bajans are killing each other at an alarming rate never seen or heard of before in the History of Barbados (buhbados ), and some stupid illiterate black bajans are saying ” but it happening everywhere else so why can’t it happen here ?
White and other non-black bajans do not cause bodily harm to each other , and the day is dreaded that any black bajan ever causes serious bodily injury to any white on non-black bajan in Barbados.
White bajans especially , have already made the statement and that statement is ” we are ready to wipe out black buhbados if you ever cross the railroad tracks and touch anyone of us ”
That STATEMENT was made just a couple of years ago when a white Barbadian woman went missing in Barbados . Heavily armed White and non -black bajans showed up ” en masse” and told and threatened to kill black bajans ( whom they thought had kidnapped the white woman ) and told black bajans that if they did not produce to them the white woman ” unharmed ” in a certain amount of time , then black buhbados would feel the “wrought ” of white Barbados ” upon it.
Black Barbados then went into a “tail spin and panic ” .
How could a piece of “rock : with approx; 275.000 black people be intimidated by just 14.500 white people ? ( using 290.000 as the population of Barbados . 95% black _ 5% white ).
Well believe it or not BUT white Barbados is ” legally ” more heavy armed that black buhbados ,but it’s just that the whites have more sense than to walk around flaunting and showing off their stuff. White Barbados is ready and just waiting for the opportunity to “legally “start flaunting their stuff . . . . at the right time , and that time will come when a black bajan finds himself on the wrong side of the railroad tracks.
Getting back to the point . After” white Barbados “made it’s statement that they intended to “kill” , it sent goose bumps through the spines of the Royal Black Barbados Police Dept , the Barbados Defense Force was called out , the Barbados Coast Guard was put on standby and black Barbadians saw that mobilization of forces in Barbados that they had never sen before ( only seen on CNN etc. and that’s because 14.500 white people were now in charge and control of 275.000 black Barbadians and they were ready to start a race war in Barbados . . . W_ Barbados against B- Barbados . . . . and the Black Royal Barbados Police , black Barbados Defense force , black Barbados Coast Guard etc, were all ORDERED to be on the side W-Barbados ( White Barbados ) .
Back to the killing of black bajans by one another. As long as black Barbados never crosses the railroad tracks into white Barbados territory . . . the killings in buhbados will continue and no one will seem like they give a damn, because white and non-black Barbadians will admit that they is a very serious crime problem in Barbados which has gotten totally out control , while black Barbadians will continue to say ” it happening everywhere else so why can’t it happen here in buhbados ? con
That is actually st.hill road. Butt and bound between Belmont and Tweedside.. but more like at the bottom of Quakers road
Have no fear people. It is all the DLP fault.
Reason: They still in “power”. What a thing!!!.
My word this is too much! This thing has gone to far. Lord God, Miighty God build a hedge of protection around our children. Do not allow the devil to destroy them , they are the future of this nation.
im a stepmom and nt every parent wants their child to be corrected….Lord put a hand or else we finish
The start of the menace to Society. some parents and people should not be allowed to make children.
Why is everybody ignoring the fact that police had been calling for a long time for the identification of all persons boarding these vessels.
This is not a new request.
Place the blame where it lies, on the lawless people bent on being destructive and unable to control themselves especially under the influence of alcohol and marijuana.
speaking of children wounded that is why I will always say this that the only time when there is police around is when something happens, after that NO POLICE. yesterday afternoon around five pm two gangs of boys between the ages of 16 to 20 fighting and throwing missiles at each other on the Chausseau road. they were sending objects back and forth so much that vehicles had to space out themselves from by the Castries health center all the way past the gas station after courts for fear of their vehicles being damaged. Drivers had actually just stopped. No police presence on the chausseau but when something happens they coming with their big GONS like GorGors.
The truth hurts
I believe with more support from the police officers issues like this can be prevented. Before police officers ensured that students wear their uniform properly (eg. pull up your pants or remove the extra studs) and ensured that students in uniform do not linger on bus stands before and after school. There is too much loitering in town and they are flooding near business places like Fortune Mart, KFC and Blue Coral. We have to be realistic here the lack of parental control is causing this issue and so this little assistance from law enforcement can help correct issues such as these to prevent incidents like this.
Totally predictable once the smoke clears.
”Good news” for Barbados at the end of the day no matter what the stated reason.
We need more of this around so as to restore people confident and time waiting for a police to come
All I can ask for is LORD JESUS put a hand if you can’t put a hand put a foot, if not a foot then a finger we need help desperately… The parents are unable to control their kids and yet still they keep making more, how can you explain any of this? What is going on in this place?
