    1. The government collect money ๐Ÿ’ฐ fi help carry out them WORLDWIDE AGENDA CAMPAIGN… them don’t care about us…a we have to look out’ for ourselves..

    2. Coved must be on the rise because when the country lockdown over the weekend when it touch Monday morning everyone is going to bundle up in the super market and no one will be social distancing.

    3. @Merline Bryan the government them plan all a this….why people can’t think outside of the box? and be smart in them thinking??…this is just fi ramp up’ the NUMBERS…and getting more people scared ๐Ÿ˜จ….them not going to make this AGENDA VACCINE expire on them….so them have to give we’ even by FORCE!!!

  1. Mr chang need fi gu sit down cuz all him du is ntt. Him fi resign he disgust me !!!๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ 

    1. @A Dre Absotuley nothing,but enough is enough,Full time these Politicans do sentin bout Crime in this Island.

    2. Chang really disgusts me too, his words are empty and disconnected from reality, and he is under the false impression that he is fooling us. Andrew, u too disappoint me as it seems you just let go of the wheel once you got elected.

  2. Nothing is happening until it affects us directly. Mr chang don’t see crime/murders as a crisis in Jamaica? Smh no wonder it can’t stop.

    1. Good question because he doesn’t sound and look like he is a earth person. Obviously he is disconnected so I wonder if he was in any way connected before.

  3. Mr, Chang living in a DREAM!!! It’s just talk and more talk. Start oil up di BRUKK NECK MACHINE.!! A dat wi waan see. Enuh chatting.

    1. that’s what i have been saying. yes there is crime everywhere but the island is tooooo small for such crimes, and now there is 50%off sale on guilty plea. what is that saying to law abiding citizens?

    2. Thats Alarming. I live in a way bigger city and we only have 7 homicides so far this year. Lord help Jamaica ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

    1. They need stricter punishment and punitive measures otherwise people, will continue as though they will not get caught or punished

  4. When the government lockdown the country how do they expect the citizens to survive financially? Most other country provide a stimulus to aid their citizen’s survival. How are their bills paid? How do they feed their family?

    1. @Tony Clarke Most people do not work weekends you can buy food in the week itโ€™s not that hard itโ€™s only three days the rest of the week people have till 8pm to organise food provisions for the weekend.

    2. @glen glen You seems to be oblivious to the poor man’s plight. I use to see what goes on a weekend in Jamaica. Most people in particular higlers and hustlers of different trades makes most of their money on the weekend.

    1. WHEN IT start at them home or touch one of them then they will know… all is a damn bag of mouth

    2. Thatโ€™s why me glad say me live a yard anymore, Marcus Garvey speak about our people, he said they are the most Ridiculous set of people he as ever seen.

  5. Can we talk about the commissioner of police too? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ all the other commissioners were put through the rigours some even the first 100 days in office evaluation, what of him?

    1. Weh him get dat stupid slang acquaintance violence.? These politicians tek poor people fe idiot.

  6. HOW WOULD IT FEEL, TO WAKE UP ONE DAY AND THERE IS NO KILLING?
    I WOULD SAY OH BLESSED DAY , WHEN JESUS CALL!!

  7. These ppl is the reason why the country is like this !!! Because itโ€™s not affecting them or their family so they donโ€™t care !
    The country need better LEADERSHIP PERIOD!!

    1. How you people showing the lockdown and you not showing the kias in the supermarket and on the shops when you give such a short notice for people to shop that’s madness

  8. No wonder Jamaica is like this because our security minister is living in his own dream, he needs to come to terms with reality,

    1. No instead of killing of eachother..why don’t they unite and take some politicians off the bucket list?

    1. Brilliant observation ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ the sheep ๐Ÿ‘ NATION can’t realize this….they just want everybody fi tek them AGENDA POISON ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ

  9. The words coming from the National Security Minister makes me feel sick, he makes it sound like crime should be a way of life, I have never heard of nothing like this before. SMH
