If this is not the biggest, most insulting piece of bullshit Skerrit and this government has ever tried to sell the people of Dominica, then we honestly do not know what is.
Skerrit’s government and police now claim the grand solution to gun violence is to give rental cars special license plates. THAT IS IT!
- Not better policing.
- Not intelligence work.
- Not tackling corruption.
Nope, just different license plates.
What an absolute embarrassment. What a pathetic attempt to fool the public into thinking they’re actually doing something.
It is time to be very clear here. The police themselves admit they already know that the vehicles used in these shootings are rentals. They know this because they can read the license plates right now.
So tell us, what does changing the color or format of renal car plates do hat cn not be done now? Does it magically give the police new investigative powers? Does it suddenly make them competent?
If the police can not figure out who owns the car, who rented the car, and who used the car on this tiny island where everyone knows everyone, then the issue is not the license plates. The issue is gross incompetence.
We here at the NEW Dominica Reform Party (DRP) are going to call this what it is: another lazy, laughable publicity stunt from this government desperate to look busy while doing nothing. They think they can keep fooling people with these symbolic gestures, and sadly, it will work on a few. You know the type, the loyal followers of the DLP who are so desperate to justify their corrupt party’s failures that they will cling to ANY piece of nonsense that sounds like progress.
This is the political equivalent of painting over rot wood and calling it renovation. It is a show for the cameras, a shiny, stupid distraction designed to trick the public into thinking this government is “fighting gun violence.”
But here is the filtered the truth, the only violence happening here is the violence being done to common sense.
If the police, with all their resources, cannot trace a rented vehicle used in a crime back to the owner, who then cannot track who rented it and produce the ID used to rent it. Then the police are completely out of their depth.
Every officer involved should be removed from the force, and the person who rented out the car should go to jail. If want crime stopped, jail those who obstruct justice by protecting crimnals who rent their cars and fail to produce valid ID the police need. PERIOD!
Because let us face it, this is Dominica, not Los Angeles. It is not that hard. The only thing harder than finding these shooters, apparently, is finding a shred of accountability in this government.
Every time Skerrit’s administration faces a real problem, they come up with some meaningless gimmick to distract from their own failure. Instead of addressing gun smuggling, corruption, or lack of police training, they change license plates. It is absurd, insulting, and downright laughable.
This is not policy. This is propaganda, cheap, shiny, and designed for the gullible.
And to those who think this nonsense is “a step in the right direction,” you are exactly who they are counting on. Because this government survives on confusion, distraction, and blind loyalty. They depend on people being too tired or too afraid to call out stupidity when they see it.
Well, we see it. And we’re calling it what it is, utter stupidity, wrapped in red paint and sold as reform.
The NEW Dominica Reform Party (DRP) offers real solutions. We will stop the violence with multiple programs that address the root causes, not just the symptoms. We will create good-paying jobs so families can thrive, and we will lower the cost of living to make life more affordable for everyone. We will invest in education, youth programs, and community safety initiatives that actually work, because our people deserve more than cheap tricks and empty promises. The NEW Dominica Reform Party (DRP) is not here to play games; we are here to deliver real, lasting change for Dominica.
Dominica deserves a government that solves problems, not one that manufactures stupidity and calls it progress.
Team DRP
