According to online sources, a large shipment of weapons and ammunition were stolen from the Harbor.

Could this be an explanation for the recent rise in gun violence.

When I wrote that Duncan was turning St Maarten into St Kitts, people were laughing/

Now they are mourning loved ones.

This reminds me of when I’m reading the paper, but it always begins St Kitts, Basseterre…another shoot out, another murder.

I wrote that Duncan was turning St Maarten into the new St Kitts, and people laughed.

Now, tell me what the difference is?

Oh Yeah, St Maarten is worse when it comes to shootings, and violent crimes than St Kitts right now,

and it’s been only a few months.

This pattern is continued, whenever a former colony gains any type of independence.

In Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, the same things happen when the colony pulls out, and leaves inept, corrupt individuals in power.

There is a vacuum. St Maarten has only been independent for a few months.

It’s not to late for St Maarten to turn itself around.

Where do you think St Maarten is headed?

To a good place? A better place? Ask yourself that time, the next time you have to pull out and iron your black funeral suit.
