Grenada take a warning from a Trini, do not sit back and think that it can’t happen by you, we Trinis used to think exactly that, we used to think crime not by us, we not like Jamaica, THEN CAME THE GUNS. Every pip squeek who normally would never dare to comit crime now has a gun. My tip nip it in the bud. Institute capital punishment for illegal gun possession asap(treat it like terrorismand other crimes against the state), do not wait for the trafficking to increase and your people to pay the blood price, execute anybody that brings illegal guns to your country for your people to become victims of crime.
Grenada needs to be diligent in ensuring the safety of it’s people. This scourge called drugs has brought enough grief and heart ache to the Caribbean. Glad to know there is someone who will be held accountable for his actions,, however I also belive that he is but a small fish in the big ocean. Police may wish to also focus on foreigners who supply these little fish with the drugs an weapons. Don’t be fooled, all the investments coming Grenada’s way may not all be on the up and up. Be diligent Grenada, your people’s future depends on it.
