Poor old Mr Baines still getting really bad advice from the people who created this crime problem in the first place. read the Caymanian Compass today an all i could do was laugh.
Those responsible for this very dire situation that we find ourselves confronting today drugs and crime wise, now profess their prowess on fighting these ills of society on national media. After all it was them and their nasty little group who plotted and engineered the removal of some of the most honest and capable people we had so they could rule over this dominion. What hypocrisy is this ,what a mockery they make of us, ohh but bad karma is b@*#h though.The imported help they chose unfortunately are now becoming involved and making this a very alarming and serious crime situation for us all..
Am I missing something here, where does it say the robber was detained by the public? I thought the police arrested someone a lot later on
The robbers dont seem to be getting the point that the general public is fed up with their thuggery. Although it seems more and more would be robbers are getting caught by members of the public these days rather than by the police.
Well done to the gentleman who chased this robber down! Cayman need heros like you! We thank you for your courage in standing up these would be robber who are ruining our country. You are a hero in my eyes and in the eyes of most Caymanians.
Not today BoBo!!
Don't you have anything real to say? Who are you commenting about?
Let me translate it for yah BOBO, [the public has had enough…]
Dont tell me that the public are now taking resposibility for deterring crime? If so, Big Mac, the RCIPS is one area that you can make some major cuts to fix that deficit of ours!
Your comment looks a bit stupid now
Oh well, it is not like the robber would need to be afraid that a patrole car is passing around Crewe Road and may have caught him running off. There seemingly are no Patrole Cars in use around this Island!
