This man should be dragged out back and b**** to d*****
Well thanks for that we will accept the visa application, while you all gun down one another is the streets. With no regards for human life and your animalistic behavior.
a very foolish move he needs a proper cut- a&&
He is not a bad person but what ever lead him to do this have to be bad. i never see this man lose his cool but im not saying what he did was right but it have to have more to this story for him to do something like that towards his family who i know he loves.
He needs to be severely dealt with. What would we be saying if he had actually killed one or both of them?
Some men are good pretenders in the public and devils in the home. There is no justification to use a machete on either his wife or her child. Use the same machete on his @$$ let us see how he likes it.
She will be a FOOL to still have a relationship with this Idiot. She shouldn’t even take a bottle of water for him while he’s in Prison.
Girl, I don’t know who u are but for God Sake get your Divorce ASAP and have nothing absolutely to do with this No Good, Evil, Devil.
If you go back the next time he will definitely take your LIFE. You know them Vincentian Men love Machete and them Poison KoolAid so why would you get involve with one for? Get out and run as fast as you can.
You sound like a real idiot. Did you live with this
St. Vincent fool? Not becuz u work with him means u know everything about him. He cannot be a good person to did what he did.
That woman knew this fool becuz she lived with him and this was probably not his first ignorant behavior towards her & her kids so she had a reason to leave him before this had happened.
Instead she choose to stay and put your kids lives in danger.
Everything is Machete and Poison for them fools. Stop putting your hands in the fire for others becuz they will get burn.
He is crazy bro.
It just finally came out of him.
Yes you may work with him see that side of him but who are you to judge that its not his first offense? Who are you to judge? Only God the family and the man know what was taking place before and during everything.. So all who here being judgemental God alone knows who the rightful victim is.. We keep pointing fingers jamaican, Vincentian, trinidadian, dominician,tolan. we are from different nation but we all have our ways who use machete who use guns who use poison. None of us is better than the other.. So who are we to point fingers?
The virgin islanders here bashing other nation when they them self don't have mercy on their own.. You think gunning down ur enemy any different than using a machete or drinking poison. All is the same sin but just mean according to justice They carry different time span in jail.
We are so quick to judge one another. But the ones judging are no different..
No united so what u expect will happen.. Ppl will forever perish..
So we here judging each other ,pointing fingers when ur nations is no different than any other nation. We all have killers( but they kill In different ways) we all have thieves, robbers, rapers, drug Lords u name it we are no different from each other..
Ain’t crazy. Dem St. Vincent people is mad, sick,
Head no good CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!
