Why you would put such an important portfolio in the hands of the last Cro-Magnon man, he is a special lost link, a creature used to living in caves and only just discovered fire. No, this job requires an expert in crime investigations, at least a modern man.

Where you live Bois Patat; Oh hell no. (strike 2) What is your last name ? Are you related to the prime minister or any heads of goverment on either sides of the fence ?? NO ! Do you know Rick Wayne or Toni (with a pinky) Mack Daddy Nicholas (strike 3) Well Pal dog eat your super, may the force be with you.

St.lucians need to start seeing past RED and YELLOW and call it for what it is, have those politrickcians stop running to the media and lying to the whole nation. Call them out, not because you want to be mean or disrespectful but because you care about your DAMM country.

Those politicians sound like a spouse caught cheating just making a whole set of excuses after excuses. Had it not been for the US withdrawing aid from the police force it would have been business as usual for them. The thing that really hurts me is how incompetent those ridiculous police are and attempt to make up for it by being bullies with guns. When I see a politician who can stand up to the police force and make it their duty to put them in line, then tackle the so called court systems and then that big elephant they built called the forensic lab that serves no more than decorative purposes on the piece of property it occupies then and only then I will say they are serious about the…

St.lucia is yet to have a government that is serious on tackling the crime problem. Truth be told those governments themselves have encouraged crime and for the most part have aided it to reach the level it is today. Firstly you have a police department that has been left to run wild for years, police officers involved in all types of possible criminal activities with no consequences. Secondly you have a justice system that may God bless your soul if you have the wrong last name and your family has no wealth will rot at Bordelais while the so called DPP and her crew forget all about you.

into facilities where they belong? On my trips home, I have come across several cases where the mentally ill are haranguing visitors. Their behavior is not funny.

Once upon a time SLU was blessed with great leadership. Talented men in both major parties. The place was clean, there was order and it was very safe. I am not sure what happened along the way.

criminals and concealed knives criminals; thus creating a deterrence and removing them from society so they would emerge older, matured and slower. Essentially, giving the public a respite and making it safer for visitors (the business at hand). There are numerous options that are available, instead, we are faced with oblique laws such as the anti-gang legislation. Here in the U.S. with all of its surveillance tools, the government generally finds it very difficult to prove a person is a member of a gang. What are St. Lucia’s chances? Someone has definitely been reading too many Marvel comic books.
By the way, when is someone going to place those mentally ill people who roam the streets…

This stage of the crime wave was bound to occur. It is the product of poor insight mixed with a laissez- faire attitude. For several years (and still is), violent gun criminals were allowed back into society after they paid their $3000 court administered fine. With such little deterrence, it did not take long for them to gather packs of followers. Over the ensuing years, the gun criminals improved their game to lessen possibilities of detection. In some blatant cases they killed or intimidated eyewitnesses.

It is apparent that no one in authority suspects he is living on a “tourist island.” The first obvious step could have been legislating mandatory very long sentences for gun criminals…

Keeping marijuana illegal escalates it’s value as a black market product much like alcohol prohibition did in the United States, and this is a cause of violent gang crime. Time to decriminalize weed.
