Not only that, they brought nothing useful to the wall. That makes them little more than an internet troll.

What's the food lineup at our latest addition, Chuck E. Cheese's? And I understand another one is due to arrive soon? The old folks call that "spinning top in mud".

He's adequately highlighting the ineptitude of the Police Service by admitting that there was still evidence at the crime scene THREE DAYS after the event (and trying to sound intelligent in the process). That's more than enough time for anyone else to contaminate any evidence, plant evidence, etc. 2. He's politicizing it by specifically naming Dr. Rowley as a lawbreaker here by holding the spent shells, which may have been given to him by residents if he did in fact handle them. Where's the call to charge the residents? He's not even sure that Dr. Rowley handled the shells, and I quote: "There are pictures and videos of persons holding shell casings, including the Opposition Leader, I believe." 3. "He said the proper procedure was for residents to contact the police so that crime scene investigators could properly handle the evidence, and that photographs of where each casing was on the ground would have been taken to recreate the scene." No, the proper procedure should be for the police to cordon off the area immediately and have the crime scene processed in an efficient and effective manner. What happened here was way worse than banana republic. The Police look like Keystone cops. And people like Rokerry1 who come on here and only see a chance to cry down anything Rowley or PNM instead of using the brain matter that God gave them to see the bigger picture are no less Magoo than Inspector Seales.

Why is this even a news article, much worse a FRONT-PAGE piece? This "news" is none of ANYONE'S business but the Seetahal family. How integrity-deficient must you be to print this in the face of the criminally-charged climate that currently exists in Trinidad and Tobago? Seriously?!?

There's a nifty little piece of technology called "the internet", where you can use something called a "browser" to search for lots of different types of information. Try using it, and type "when is Eid 2014". I knew the date since the beginning of the year. You said "It is also interesting to note that in almost every country, including Suriname, Eid-ul-Fitr this year is on Monday, July 28, but in Trinidad and Tobago it is on Tuesday, July 29". Where did you get that? I found one website about Islam dates (In Google's search bar type Eid_Al_Fitr_in_Trinidad_and_Tobago_2014) that lists 65 countries, including Trinidad and Tobago, and NONE of them are observing it on July 28th. Now type "When is diwali 2014". See what happens. Have a nice day.

I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with you head bowed low. Remember the love we once shared--- Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all part of the maker's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds--- Miss me, but let me go.

Aleah's mother, when interviewed by the Express, said there was "also a police investigation into her daughter’s pregnancy as the hospital automatically notified the authorities about the under-age girl delivering a baby in December last year. “Yes, there was an investigation. The police came home by me many times and I was supposed to go back to the police station too, but I just never got the time because I was working and I never pursued it because we just didn’t know where the fella was.” She said: “Now he end up back in Belmont and home by me because right now he have the baby.”" 'Nuff said.

She was pregnant at 14. Has anyone said anything about charging the father of her baby with statutory rape? Or is he being coddled and comforted for the loss of his baby mama?
