Comment: POWERFUL ARTICLE REALISTIC AT MOST

Comment: The article was well written, to the point. The writer spoke from an I perspective, as well as reflected on the reality of the incident and its repercussion. This allowed (families) from both sides SOME closure. As we know the word closure may or may not come for a while or may not even come.

Comment: This article is thought-provoking & insightful. Most people are quick to label these guys as "just bad" but the problem does go deeper than that. Like Dr.Alexander mentioned, alot of who we are is a result of what we've experienced earlier on in life. Some people may argue that they were neglected & so on in their lives but they turned out "fine" but today's societal pressures are far worse than yester years. I'm glad this article was written; it somewhat does a justice to their untold stories.

Comment: Excellent article, great writing, it kept me reading to the very end. This article was a reality check. To the naysayers, it was not meant to name names or give specifics it was meant invoke thought. Go read something else!

Comment: thought provoking. i understand names were withheld to protect certain individuals but i cant help but wondering who the subjects are. sknvibes writers flexing they muscles.sometimes readers need a break from government drama and killings to read a refreshing literary piece.

Comment: What purpose was the EGYTIAN ship flying a St.Kitts_Nevis flag. Does our citizens know of this. What ohter ships are flying our flag. Does our government know of this, approve it and why is it so. Is it just a cover? Just concern.

Comment: This article may be the strongest piece yet on the difficult position one is placed in when a family member gets involved in crimes. It is a sober reminder that none of us has an exemption from such happening to us. We must, from early days let our families know that if they choose to do wrong they will pay and our positions in society would not hinder justice from being carried out. To the author, my heart goes out to you and I will keep you in my prayers, however,keep telling others(youngmen).

Comment: y God, this brought me to tears especially the line that talks about the father saying "I love you to death...but if you dig a hole you'll have to lie in it"...wow...we need more of that in this Federation of ours. Parents and relatives who will stand up and call wrong - wrong and right-right because wrong does not all of a sudden become right when it's our relative and right does not become wrong when it's someone else's relative. I pray you will find consolation and peace in God. I will keep you in my prayers.

Comment: I think this is a beautful article that brings home the point that JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED! At the mention of a sentence passed and the death decree given out, we start to murmur about how insensitive and inhumane is such a law. We soon forget the same feelings of the injured party's relatives that put ours their in the first place. What about their loss? How insensitive to them! Wake up people, as the dad rightly said "If you dig your grave, then you MUST lie in it". JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED!!

Comment: This is so not news worthy, is this what SKNVibes is coming too. People wants to read about current news event, not about the pain, sorrows, regrets of this person over a convicted criminal. Who Cares...see a shrink.
