This is really sad. Another family falls victim to street violence prompting people to wonder,"Will it ever end?" But I hope that people will now see-and appreciate- what Gaston Browne was trying to do recently when he made this huge effort(exchangi ng guns for cash)in an attempt to rid our streets of guns and out of the hands of criminals.Obvio usly,he can't do it alone.This means that the government and citizens must join forces to combat this immoral work less we,as a community,are destroyed by it.

My nephew did not deserve to die the way he did. I'm praying that the killer or killers get caught and be brought to justice. Rest in peace my Beloved Sean. You will be greatly missed. Auntie Loretta

Give them the full wrath of the law

#9 Bluddy Bloke » 2012-06-22 13:46

First let me express my condolensces to the family. I will admit that I am peeved about what is going on in Antigua. Our authorities need to be alot more serious than how they are. An amnesty for guns was offered sometime ago and the response was very poor. Yet still there after, when the perpertrators are being caught with fire arms, they are not getting the full wrath of the law. Why? People are loosing their lives rediculously. Does it have to take the gunning down of a politician or a person of high standings in our society before anything seriously is done? I hope not! Let's be more proactive than reactive. Antigua was a safe Haven some years ago; it so sad to say now, that Antigua has become a play ground for the cowboys.

#4 shine » 2012-06-22 09:44

this is rather sad because i knew sean and despite the fact that he had a mental illness that didnt give anyone the right to do what they did. the the issue of the police, FOR THE LOVE CHRIST pleeeeeaaaaasss eeee m begging for them give them a break jack oh lord man!!!!!! in everything there is something called (PROCEDURE) even though the incident would have taken place at 9:00 and the police arrives at 9:01 they can do nothing to that body UNTIL a coroner or disrict doctor comes and AT WHATEVER TIME to pronounce death. and there is NOT a coroner or doctor sitting at the police station waiting for someone to die. SO IM BEGGING PLEASE CUT THE POLICE SOME SLACK. ITS LIKE PEOPLE JUST WAIT FOR THE SLIGHTEST GLITCH TO POUND THE COPS.

Lost for words

"Up 9:45 pm detectives were still waiting for a medical officer to pronounce the victim dead so that matters could proceed aspace." Are you kidding me? So, why didn't the detectives have a medical officer with them when they arrived in this homicide? And, what they do for the duration of the time present at the scene? I am just lost for words. My condolences to the family of the young man (thanks Mary for telling us his identity).
