they can run away all they want but they cannot run far enouch. remember who has the biggest family imembers n the island. the ffaa.

Tragic that this upstanding young man died at the hands of merciless drug-running punks.

I agree with the comment above that this is tragic. It seems that the only ones who are aggressive are the drug dealers while authorities move slow, unresponsively and operate passively like a lame duck! The above articles mentioned police are not sure if these men are apart of a larger drug network? Do the police think the young men went to SA and brought the drugs in themselves? Wow! How stupid! Of course, these men are apart of a larger drug network which includes a strong supply line, even police, corrupt DNCD agents, RD Gov officials etc.

The other sad part is the ineffective judicial system whereas these men were known career criminals with repeat offenses who would NOT be able to murder a good young man who was doing his job IF AND ONLY IF the Tigres had been in jail in the first place.

The RD needs a death penalty to start sending the right message AND not force tax payers to have the burden to car for harden & habitual criminals.

Handsome and good dominican died in service of his country. What a society is this? What kind of people are they? The way they like to live their lives, one life is not worth anything any more...

Another very unfortunate / senseless death attributed to the politics of the ''Drug Industry .'' My sincere condolences to the family of this young man. May his memory live on. When will society as a whole grasp the concept of government sponsored drug trading. The illegal industry is a benefit to the governments of the world. It not only is an economic entity of it's own, but it stimulates a nation's economy, simply by it's notion of existence. The most obvious way is in each's country's ''Drug Enforcment'' budget. Think of the billions spent on attempting to stop the industry by controlling the demand. Makes as much sense as trying to keep a ship afloat by giving the crew a cup to bail the water out. Think of the technology and cost associated with purchasing and manafacturing of everything involved, from the hats and uniforms to the night vision, computers, monitering equipment, fuel and coffee and donuts.

....... drugs trafficing could be stopped in it' tracks if the aim was such. Legalizing and controlling the distribution of drugs through the same system as alcohol and pharmacies, it's already in place. Rather than the supplying countries being poor, the farmers would lead the people into becoming prosperous. (Unless the governments again do what they did to the sugar cane industry). The governments could tax the hell out of it, and lead themselves and their citizens into a brighter future. So, who's holding them back?

You know, all in all, boy am I glad I speak Spanish cuz you sure need it to understand what they're writing in this newspaper article...geesh!

They really do need someone who can truly master English to do the translating. Heck, I'll volunteer...
