We are running low on young men. Who will they go after next? Or, will there be no killers left?

Our current crop of hit men are many of those very teens. . . the mobs are getting recruits from these age groups. . .most of the old gangsters are dead. . . killed oof I should say!

Lol wait..

We have babies and kids being killed at almost genocide rates and this guy wants to say homocides are down? Can Hubert fire this guy forthwith?

“We have warrants out for seven persons for murder and **the oldest one is 38, these are children** we are dealing with."

Really? At 38 he is a grown man. These statements by the Minister are very misleading.

This is very sad. Agreed, viable solutions need to be presented. So tired of rhetoric and political optics!

No games lied he knows that murders have increased under the FNM. So why tell such
a bold face lie?? Masterful liar.

What other lies is he telling??. besides he is making it political.

How did it increased? Please tell us. . .remember that this government was elected May 10, 2017! Now bring the stats for last year from May to October. . .then and only then can we determine if your statement is correct!

What puzzles me is our inability to keep criminals in jail. Why don't the Attorney General do what the United States does. Prosecute them for a lesser crime until their murder trial comes up. For instance, prosecute them for gun possession which carries about 10 years and they now have all the time to wait until their murder trial comes up.

Comrade Security Minister Marvin, might want to look into 'Gunshot Location Systems' which can be installed in known and potential high risks crime areas for rapid alerts and awareness into the communications and dispatch center where the alerts are used to direct policeman's s to the scene of the gunfire, thus increasing arrest rates, improving first responders safety, securing witnesses and evidence, and enhancing investigations, as well as in the long run deterring gun crimes, shootings.

Is it bullet-proof, Comrade?

I wish this man would stop talking like a politician and address the real issue which is an out of control murder rate which is GROWING by leaps and bounds. I cannot for the life of me imagine how PMH deals with these shooting cases.

Comrade DDK, hospitalized shooting victims are assigned around the clock policeman's guards. The growing crime costs to the public purse, residents and businesses if left unchecked - will eventually bankrupt the whole damn country.

On gurneys in the halls?

Yep, then if you don't make it through the night - they rolls your body on that gurney out one freezers units in the parking lot.

Another reason for Government, RBPD and judicial system to stop beating around the bush and GET A GRIP!

The last thing this country needs is someone to try create an illusion that crime, or more specifically, murders are on the decrease. And to do this by the manipulation of numbers when people’s sons and daughters and friends and coworkers and even the little ones are being shot up and killed. The country needs a significant enough decrease in crime and murder such that the average man or woman on the street can look and see there is a difference. They can feel more safe. And the killers and other criminals get the clear and precise message that crime will not be tolerated.

Comrades! Isn't it less to do with da facts, and more of a game of who's the current security minister? Its called, fudging around with da arithmetic.

And if one really wants to play with the numbers, the projected murders for 2017 has ***risen*** slightly from 141.25 to 141.83, meaning the country is more likely to record over 141 murders in 2017 rather than 140 or 141...this is very bothersome, disturbing, mind unsettling especially to those who expected change under the new government, especially to those who have lost more than one family member or friend, and also to those who are trying to restrain others from vigilante behavior and encouraging them to allow the law to take its course. Yes almost half a year has passed under the new administration. Yes it has been almost 6 months already..Hopefully this is the storm and the calm is coming soon.

Are you trying to say (Anthony Ferguson) that after a decade is senseless killings, the police are just now trying to tie murders together and find a common thread.? Every murder suspect should have to answer why (motive). They should be made to say who else was involved or if they acted alone. Was it a paid hit and if so put out by whom and for what reason. Was the victim the right target and if so was he the only target. More importantly police should try find out in every murder where the killer got the gun. And then track back to where every single gun got into this country. And then there should be arrests made for gun trafficking, for gang leaders, for gang participation and for drugs. Likewise similar profiles should be built for each murder victim. Age where he/she lived, motive for killing. Were they the intended target. Was anyone else targeted. Were they involved in gangs, drugs, or a triangle love affair or some other activities than may have led to their demise. Then the police must get the information out there. To the young people and to the parents, who in most cases will be single mothers. Let the parents know if their children are involved in certain criminal activities, specifically gangs and drugs, they can become a victim of murder. And even more so if they are a gang member they may be required to do a ‘hit’ or murder. There are sufficient retired police officers who can be r-recruited to visit the schools and troubled communities. Many boys are recruited to gangs in the fifth and sixth grades. They are too young and green to understand the consequences of their actions at such an early age. Every police officer should be made aware of the common motto of each and every gang: to create murder, mischief and mayhem. To disrupt civil society. And so the police should act accordingly.

For gunshot victims the first thing the police and paramedics need to do is look for gang tattoos. If they find any on the body then simply morphine him up just enough to answer questions like 'who shot you'. Don't strain our limited resources on saving the lives of gang bangers. NOT SAYING THIS KID WAS ONE - I DON'T KNOW!
