HANG HANG HANG HANG
Eye for Eye…….
One too many but still better than JA at 22, T&T at 12 and PR 22. Barbados needs to end all gun violence. Crank up the gallos or start lethal injection.
A lost people it’s a pitty
I might sound like a stuck record but gun crime is confined to certain districts in Sy Michael and Christ Church and is giving outsiders the impression that gun crime is all over Barbados.Send out the whole police force and soldiers and raid them all day and night. They did it in St Lucy and netted guns and wanted man.Yet not a single word from the attorney general nor the minister of home affairs about a plan to tackle this nonsense.They both should resign
Is it always St. Michael?
“”HANG HANG HANG HANG””
Who??
The persons bringing in the guns????
Keeping up with Jamaica you mean
It is the young people that killing each other. Over what? GREED. How much is a life worth these days? Convict these murderers and their attorneys will look for some loophole so they won’t get hung. SMDH.
You are doing better than Jamaica, it’s 39 up to now. The devil is at work.
This is not our Barbados and this is not our standards. Hang them, lethal injection or whatever it takes to take back our Barbados. This is an economic and social crisis. Send a message that they will not run Barbados.
Truly sad
Why we cant manage our own affairs instead of comparing Barbados to other islands? Thats why some Caribbean islands still say that we think we more than the others. And guess what they waiting for us to hit rock bottom dollar and all.. BE CAREFUL!
Sad
It look so Ms. G!!!
Man in the pine get kill
Stop and frisk them.
Second week of January, 2019; two deaths by the bullets from a criminal gun. I ask, why is decent law abiding Barbadians having to tolerate this? These perpetrators are of no benefit to the Island; I have to say it is time for the return of Capital punishment. How many more of these criminals can the Barbados Tax Payers afford to keep in prison financially?
So where is Edmond Hickson and Dale Marahall the two Ministers who had all the answers while in opposition? Give me the vote and watch much, we still watching.
@COLLEEN HARVEY; to say that Jamaica, Trinidad and PR has more murders to date than barbados, why did you not take into account that barbados don`t even has a 1/4 of the population of those islands, barbados` population is just over a 1/4 m.

Its okay to shout the odds, but unless something is seen to be done , its just talk , talk Barbados….
The main issue , which ever part of the world you are , its black on black who is killing each other, we must find the cures for our Barbados…..
When the day comes ,when bajans who is living abroad is dare to enter Barbados , because they are scared of being murdered, we are done as a decent law abiding country………….
Do we have to wait until one of the big ups, or they family get kill or injured before something is being done…………

Dear Priminister , you need to resolve this major issue of guns and violence in Barbados, start finding the protected ones and bring them to justice , you will suffer as the other party did at the next election, don’t take the people of Barbados for granted they , will sling you out,……….
@ T.Seems, I’m so glad you picked up on the ridiculous way some Barbadians take it upon themselves to make comparisons. It is like comparing a small swimming pool to the Atlantic Ocean. Surely, we are not that poorly educated.
Sad state of affairs …but unfortunately guns go hand in hand with the drug trade and therefore gang related murders are inevitable.My heart goes out to the families whom are sometimes unwittingly drawn into this…they too must hurt.
@ Biscuits, You are absolutely right, the heartless, ruthless, evil drug dealers will take out any family members if they can’t find who they are actually searching for. Individuals who involve themselves with the very nasty drug business are putting members of their family at risk. The drug business is the world’s most dreadful, and deadliest war.
