"Stop and stop now!"

Wow, what can I say after those severe and terrifying words from Mr Cort I am handing in my guns, my cutlass and turning my back on crime.

Yeah, Right! Mr Cort you are and the PM are incompetent, if Stanford's was still paying a retainer to your law firm for you to live off no doubt we wouldn't hear anything from you.

Your out of your depth, inept and incompetent so go back to what your best at acting for foreigners in taking lxxxx from Antiguans.

Fighting crime with brute fire is not the only way . Law enforcement is in fact the last resort . Education is number one , economic opportunities is ranked number two others are sports , community development , strong families , strong youth programs . DR. did you read Mr. Marcus Motley poem/ article ?You born with gold spoon in your mouth , your father Lester Bird insured you made Millions while our grays farm youth suffered . Hope our grays farm PM wake up and see all you are about is self . PM the grays farm youth are crying out for help .

**Grays farm resident .** » 2011-01-27 16:50

You are to be blamed for a lot of the mess we are in today . We cannot finance our police force because of you recking our economy . You said things were great while we were busted . I do not believe or trust anything you say . Your aim was to become prime minister of Antigua . You spent our money in your area only and built a useless stadium in Johnson instead of YASCO . You know what difference that could have made for our youth . Thats why Lester Bird bang you like that . Mr. Pm we are waiting for the nuckle corner project to assist our Grays farm youth and keep them away from crime . MR. PM all Errol is concerned about is to snub at us and put our children behind bars. Tell him to invest some of the money he made from his friends ( Axx/ Standford ) in education at grays farm . The Mxxxxs xxxm Mount St. Johns project .

my way of helping, it seems that your plan is in urgent need by popular demand, so I hope we get a chance to look at it in the near future!

**my way of helping** » 2011-01-27 11:37

Bring back the Death Penalty. The previous GG seemed to have been against it, but we know the present one shouldn't have any problems with it.

And let us start with the two young men that murdered all those people a couple years ago - the student home on vacation, the Middle East guy, the Jamaican shop-keeper and the two Welsh tourists.

Let them be an example. Young people will buck up when they see what happens to their peers.

**The Scarlet Pimpernel** » 2011-01-27 05:39

Just a short comment … modern crime fighting is a complex, sophisticated science that cannot be structured with antiquated methods, sporadic training and mediocre leadership. The prevailing criminological studies are in agreement that the complete criminal network of a society is generally between 5% -7% of the population, and infiltration is the most effective crime fighting strategy (“Just an Observer” is right). Community policing and random searches sound good and make good press blurbs, but are effective for fighting a particular, limited segment of the crime matrix.

Some crimes are planned and others are impulsive (reactionary); harsher penalties will not reduce murders, and other aggravated "offenses against the persons", because they are usually the result of impulsive action, where the perpetrator never took the time to think about consequences.

My way of helping, please post your plan, maybe we may be lucky enough to get a Patriot or two to help get it into the right hands.

**tenman** » 2011-01-27 05:14

I have read where someone suggested that because this took place near a bushy area in Bendals police patrols would not have helped to prevent the crime. Though I agree that chances are the police would not be patrolling uninhabited areas I would think that if they are on patrol nearby (Antigua is simply 108 sq miles) that knowing they are present persons would think twice before acting. If they are nearby would they not be able to more quickly respond and apprehend the perpetrator? Persons need to pay attention that in the limited patrolling that does occur they are really drive by's and not police patrols. All that happens is that the police quickly drive through some communities with lights flashing and then head back to the station to continue whatever they were doing before. The key to knowing whether police patrols are effective is when you start to feel as if the police are really an active part of the community they serve

How does Dr. cort's fast reaction to the third murder in 2011 solve the crime problem? What new steps of preventing or minimizing crimes has he taken or adopted? Which foreign consultant is he going to give millions of tax payers dollars to produce nothing of good?

The entire UPP Gang is so INCompetent , they need to GO Right NOw!

I can see Arizona happening in Antigua Soon.... Watch and you will See, the AG' s warning will come true!

**Antiguan woman** » 2011-01-27 01:40

I will not attempt to give reasons why u have been soo unlucky,what i can tell you though i have am speaking from facts, persons who do not own business, or any particular positions own guns,I mean licensed ones, could it be a case of who you know? Another thing,where do the criminals get all this opportunity to steal weapons? not saying it do not happen,but on what scale,and if that,s the case, why are the persons who has the responsibility for securing these weapons,not been held responsible. From my experience i still say,too many persons has legal rights to own Guns, we are not in the wild wild west. I am getting ready to attend a funeral for someone who blew his brains out with a licensed Gun, what was his profession? An APUA employee.Maybe if he did not have a gun,he would have been alive today.

**perplexed** » 2011-01-27 01:34

Why so much hatred and venom toward my way of helping.... why tear down instead of lift up and encourage him to publish his ideas for us to review and constructively critique or accept in full? This is antiguan that is giving a proprosal for free.... the gov't past and present are willing to pay outsiders for this type of information that in the long run does not help as it is not based on our cultural factors etc. At least this person is willing, so again, why such hatred and venom?

j » 2011-01-27 01:31

We point fingers at the police but we need to look at ourselves. I can remember my mommy and grandmothers sending me to the store when I was a child and I had to go and come right back. The same thing after school no hanging out with friends. Parents want to be their child friend instead of been a parent. We as a community have to report suspicious activities to the police. People help the police solve crime by reporting what they saw. When we become more involved crime will decrease. When you point at some one remember more of your your fingers are point back at you.

**Me Say so** » 2011-01-27 01:25

@ Buss i totally agree with you.

The latest murder victim got shot on a hill side not even where an ambulance could go. How do we expect the police officers to patrol in places like these. Police officers are patrolling. There are so many police officers in unmarked vehicle and we don't know. so how are we gonna say they are not doing there jobs.

Some of these same gunmen are working people. He was on his way to buckleys and ended up in bushes far from where he was going.
This could be a drug trade that went bad.

**Skyewill** » 2011-01-27 01:01

I disagree respectfully, I applied for a permit to carry 3 years ago, paid the money have never heard anything and I am a business man. USAF VET, a small arms expert, no criminal and a decorated hero. Still waiting. They will keep my money and will run me around. Google Antigua and guns. it's not the criminals (I should take that back) that's bringing in the guns maam. The criminals is stealing the weapons that are here. can you see a poor person buying a gun and shipping it to Antigua and bringing it through Customs? In my head I see visions or guns coming in by the crate load. Stocking up, ammunition depots with computerized inventory systems. "I DON'T KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE" I just think it. I just feel it, I hope that's not so. I believe in upholding the law. I support the Police 100% if they are also upholding the law. we the citizen is also responsible to do our share

**GARRAT** » 2011-01-27 00:24

I understood from news report that Commissioner of Police, Vere Brown who operates under your Ministry has been wasting time trying to rein in ZDK radio station and Opposition Politicians, My understanding he held a meeting with some media reps at Jolly Beach and sought to direct what they should have as their topics on talk shows. Is he the Nation's Censor? You have the boxing day shooting. Hodges Bay MURDER, THE SUICIDE SHOOTING.SUGAR RIDGE ROBBERY and BLUE LIGHTING NIGHT CLUB MURDER. Brown you need to address these crippling issues.Have you sought to stop weapons of any kind entering the clubs? YOU ARE NOT THE POLITICIAN DO YOUR JOB AS WHO YOU ARE LET CORT THEM DEAL WITH THIS. THIS IS POLITICAL...... .FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOREVER!

**Antiguan woman** » 2011-01-27 00:14

I am concerned how easy it is to obtain a Gun licenses in Antigua, not saying that whoever perpetrated this crime had a licensed weapon,but listening to persons, there are lots of ordinary people out there who has legal weapons, for what and why?? Some of these people are highly Ignorant in they way of thinking, with a gun,they are like a Bomb just ticking away, extremely dangerous to say the least.

**Fake words** » 2011-01-27 00:06

A so Cuss go, since your evil Govt took over, look around and see the change in this Country, Cuss a one funny thing, it come in all shape& form,whatever evil that was dabbled in demand souls and souls it will continue to get, we should all pray for the release of this country under this Govt.

**Skyewill** » 2011-01-27 00:00

You are correct. he should publish it. Not that it would make a difference but at least he can get a critical overview from the readers.. JUST NOT TELL THE WORLD, SHOW THE WORLD

**buss** » 2011-01-26 23:27

responding to SAD.....maybe we need to bring back the CAT.....one lash with that and the big bad kids will return to the children they supposed to be!!! i can already see some juvenile being charged with this latest murder!!

**buss** » 2011-01-26 23:26

i am so sick of the people of this nation pointing fingers when they themselves are the ones to blame. You all raised your kids badly, gave them all what they want, kept them all comfortable then when they get old they have to go find work to do!! Gimme a break!! All this crap about politicians and police not doing thier jobs is pure BULLS**T!!! This nation needs PRAYER and a good wake up call!! Walking the streets daily, i see all these school children walking aimlessly with no where to go. They stick around in town causing major problems to shop owners and the like. The government needs to wake the hell up from this dream they are having that they are the saviors of this island and look around, take the veil from off thier eyes and see that the country is FAILING!!! three murders in the first month of the year is not a PROUD moment in this little island!!

**PLM** » 2011-01-26 23:19

Continued,

If you weren’t dumb enough to give your life savings to a slick talking Texan hick with no discernable qualification or experience in financial or wealth management to evade the IRS, you would still have a life today.

**tenman** » 2011-01-26 23:16

my way of helping let me make a suggestion to you: I have heard you write briefly of your crime plan, why not contact info

caribarena.com and ask them to allow you to write an article where you can present details on your plan?

..

**Just an Observer** » 2011-01-26 21:59

I am just tired of you promoting your "way of helping" and have not once expose wha it is. I am not begining to wonder if you are just an attention seeking person. Please desist from posting the crap daily.

My way of helping is urging the police to penetrate the criminal cells around the island. The weed vendors, gun vendors etc. Crime is a network, once you penetrate a few the whole network will crumble.

pol itical interference; While maintaining it's sovereignty, and rights as a member of the community of nations, Antigua has continued to exploit it's sovereignty by extending it's services outside it's territorial boundries, (internet gambling) and allowing it's financial institutions to masquerade as regulated and insured entities when there was neither regulation or insurance (SIB). Also Antigua feels free to decide what bilateral agreements it should or should not honour (Leroy King extradition).

supply chain disruption No problem here. If Antigua and Barbuda were to sink tomorrow, no describable trade would be disrupted

legal and regulatory risk.This criteria is entirely subjective. If you're sleezy enough to collect a lot of other peoples money and spend it on Cricket, a tacky restaurant, and buying the government of a tiny country, you have absolutely no risk as long as you're not dumb enough to leave, and get stuck in a Texas jail. If you invested with such a Knight, you're just as screwed as he is.

**Reality** » 2011-01-26 18:44

The government is ignoring it"s role in a US $7 billion dollar theft and yet it considers petty crime a problem?

Only in Antigua!

**my way of helping** » 2011-01-26 14:07

Preach it brother, you are right, they are all probably in the trash

**Skyewill** » 2011-01-26 13:46

I don't like dogging people but those people you sent it too. Might not have even read it. and can't tell you where it is right now. Antigua funny. Antigua is very nice for people with money. They don't see none of what you saying unless it hit them personally. People live nice in Antigua. Some people don't want no changes cause they don't know what will happen it they did things another way. One of the problem is that no matter who the government they seem to want the government to make profits. The more they tax the more they believe thay will have to live the good life. And there are others who really don't want anything. They happy just one day at a time. It is a culture. and it is what it is. By the way no one is listening to you guys. I hope you know that. do good to your fellow man, God will work it out. There have never been a bad person that ever won in the end. Trust in God. For what you sew is what you reep. That go for all of us.

**Pellucid** » 2011-01-26 13:28

So who is in the FSRC Report who "...will face the full extent of the law."???

Oh, the report is being suppressed to coddle the criminals. And you wonder why your kids have no respect for the law???

Really???

**my way of helping** » 2011-01-26 12:54

Dig it, no it is not copy right, but i have been sending research for ever, since 2005. The Government has all my work, I am most proud of the P.E.A.C.E systems I developed and the F.R.A.N.C.I.S system. If anyone with authority is reading this, i am willing to come back to Antigua and Barbuda to implement these system. They will save our country, well if we want to be saved and facilitate the plan.

Writing this i just got dejavu, weird, like i was sitting at the same place and typing the same thing to Dig it, seriously weird. However, I am confident it will drastically decrease crimes.

**my way of helping** » 2011-01-26 12:21

I agree, there are different areas criminals use to abuse

**Dig It** » 2011-01-26 11:18

The month has not ended as yet, we have three murders. This is not good at all. The police and the army can't fight crime alone. We need a collective effort from the police, army and volunteer community patrols from our citizens. my way of helping, I hope your plan does work because we need something to stop this madness. And, I hope you have gotten it protected through intellectual property!

**Morris** » 2011-01-26 11:12

I do not believe that the customs is to be blamed for all the guns on the streets. I do know that our shores are porous given the fact that we do not have a large maritime force and adequate equipment to properly patrol our waters. However, my military instincts tells me that there is much more to it than that. I would propose that they do some inventory/audit s at the police evidence room to see what and how much of these weapons and ammunitions are being recycled through the system, and to also take an inventory of the army ammunition supply point to make sure that there is proper accountability of ammunition.

**my way of helping** » 2011-01-26 11:01

I have sent in a copy for Andy Liburd, ZDK and observer but no one ever publish it. Prior to sending it, i called andy liburd and spoke to him but he never replied to me, neither did any of the news agency. I will try it again.

Maybe PLM could use his pull to help us help ourself and contact the PM, I am being serious here. I am ready to implement this and i promise a sharp decline in criminal activities.

**perplexed** » 2011-01-26 09:59

How about asking Caribarena to publish your document.

**James Peters** » 2011-01-26 08:55

Dr Cort, in a statement issued this afternoon, warned the perpetrators, and others engaged in violence, to "Stop and stop now!"

Wow. And that's the solution. The criminals will now listen to a Minister on the radio and stop the killing. Give me a break. Dr Cort I expected more of you. UPP incompetence is now at an all time high.

**my way of helping** » 2011-01-26 08:36

Nice idea, i sent it to andy liburd a while back, observer, zdk etcetera. frankly, i mailed, emailed and fax to every person of authority in Antigua.

**Buzzbomb** » 2011-01-26 08:17

I think many share your frustration, but a return to capital punishment is regressive in so many ways. Antigua & Barbuda has exempted itself from the remaining handfull of countries who still use this barbaric practice and we should be proud to be disassociated.
Global consensus grows, that capital punishment has never proven itself a deterrent and there's lot's published to prove it.
I'm glad we are among the enlightened majority of the world who have turned our backs on hanging, stoning, etc.

**Skyewill** » 2011-01-26 08:09

Why don't you publish your plan. One thing in Antigua if a Minister don't understand your Idea they will either steal it or kill it. If you look smarter than them then you know you idea will not even be looked at especially if you are from Antigua and you have black skin. This has been that way from Alp days to the present. A lot of money is spent on consultants from all over except Antigua. Now one thing I can agree with the minister on is that EVERYONE need to follow the Law.....EVERYON E (HINT, HINT)

**fnpsr** » 2011-01-26 08:05

Tenman said, "Where are the police patrols? I am yet to see the idea of community policing implemented but every year we hear great talk of it." Talk is cheap good whisky costs money!

"Let's fix the little things before we attempt to fix the big things

**Shocking** » 2011-01-26 07:18

In a previous post this week I asked the question “wild wild west or gunsmoke” and someone tried to answer the question but got the question all wrong. The Wild Wild West is an American television series that ran on CBS for four seasons (104 episodes) from September 17, 1965 to April 4, 1969. And Gunsmoke was an American radio and television Western drama series created by director Norman MacDonnell and writer John Meston. The stories take place in and around Dodge City, Kansas, during the settlement of the American West. These were only television serious but we are sort of looking like the old west in Antigua. I was trying to say the bandits were well taken care of by James West and Marshall Dillon and deputy Festus. We need that type of brave police heroes to take care of all those loose bandits in Antigua.

**justice** » 2011-01-26 07:03

The goodly minister of National Security is playing the Ostrich game and pretending not to understand the correlation between crime and povertty (widespread unemployment) and the age old adage which explains the mirror effect of those at the top (monkey see, monkey do or follow the leader).
When the parliament of Antigua and Barbuda illegally suspends a member of the Senate without due process and without confirmation of his alledged infraction, then it is obvious that the rule of law has been thrown out and Antigua and Barbuda can now be declared 'the wild, wild west'.
How could the president of the senate preside over the suspension of a senator without herself hearing the comments attributed to the member? How could she allow a motion without specifics of the charge against the senator? The stage is set for lawnessness by our law makers. Quite ironic. Heaven help us. We could add the handling of the ABEC report to the mix and so many other illegal actions by those in charge.

**Sad** » 2011-01-26 06:56

I REALLY THINK THAT THEY NEED TO START HANGING AGAIN....IT IS NOT FEAR FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE A LIFE...AND THEN SIT AND GET FAT IN JAIL OFF MY HARD EARN MONEY....IT IS NOT FEARRRRRRRR.... .PLEASE MT CORT...STOP TALKING A DO SOMETHING...PEO PLE R SCARED...PEOPLE NA SLEEP WHEN NIGHT COME CAUSE DEM HAVE FU UP A WATCH....THIS IS GETTING WAY OUTTA HAND NOW MAN............ ....ENOUGH

**tenman** » 2011-01-26 06:54

Its looking almost as if before the month ends we will have the same or more murders that we had for the prior year The minister needs to do more than simply issue warnings via the media. Where are the police patrols? I am yet to see the idea of community policing implemented but every year we hear great talk of it. Its time we stop playing games with security

..

**my way of helping** » 2011-01-26 06:29

My plan is available, Mr. Cort you have a copy because i sent you one too. I must say, for us to tell the criminals to stop the criminals acts, we must also. My plan is available and i promise a drastic decrease in crimes, One city ha employed a version of my plan and i begging for the People of the United Islands of Antigua and Barbuda.

Pleas e listen, you taking my idea, I will not take it personal but would consider the safety of my people first then anything after. There need to be more qualified and honourable people working at customs and ports, not people who only got the job because of affiliation, this is where the guns are coming in and in the yachts. I did job practice at customs and there is a link with guns, trust me.
