A slave plantation mentality island of rogues, vagabonds, thieves and criminals!!! Anything that’s put in the hand of a freed slave will turn out to be distruction!!! It’s best the British had given back the Island to the rightful owners, The Kalinago People.
That’s a bold statement. One man stole and you are calling out colonialism and slavery!? In see you didn’t know, Domininca is a free country and belongs to Kalinago, blacks, whites, brown and Asian for what I see.
Peace be to you
Innocent until proven guilty. Coming here with that BS after a statement of allegedly! Sit down & let the law take its course
