RIP in peace Darrington, those of us that knew you know the type of person you were there will always be the judges and in some cases the down right hateful people, you had your struggles like everyone else in life, but truth be told you always sought employment and tried to earn your own money and be independent, on that night you were doing what so many other people were doing just winding down and getting ready to enjoy the Christmas break, when it all went terribly wrong but you will always be remembered for who you were to those that knew you.
Expect more of this as the cheap labour comes in, wages go down, foreigners benefit and education fails
Wtf..
Why seven facebook pages?
yu are just simple minded…I see some people have more than that..and still stands to be the same humble person..
Darrington was never involved with no gangs or nothing..he had two small children he was taking care to make sure they were clothed and feed everyday so he had no time for that shit. he was a very humble young man trying to make a better life for himself and his kids..this nuisance that did this to him was very heartless,,wicked,cruel and sick..hope and pray to God he prays the price for doing such a senseless act..people of the cayman community needs to stop seeing things and not talking..we all needs to bring Cayman back to what it was before..i know that will be hard but,,by THE FULL GRACE OF GOD WE HOPE TO SEE A BETTER CAYMAN SOON..
I feel your grief , and agree with your thoughts .
They found fab pretty gangster looking photo. Wish it was one as a loving father.
2 : 58 pm , Learn a little humanity, and stop judging a book by its cover. You should be in same shoe and would like to see your photo .
I’m saying they could have found a better photo of the man. How are people upset by that? You need to pull your head out of your rectum before replying. If you look at most news stories from this area and that includes the US, black men shot usually are given a terrible photo used by the press. White men get better photos circulated. I’m trying to bring awareness to the unjustness but if you can’t understand that then you are part of the problem.
Let me just to make you all understand …Darrington was a very humble young man..was not involved in any gangs or nothing. he had two young boys growing up and he never wanted to be in no sort of badness for himself nor his two boys.. but I would say that’s whats wrong with the Cayman people today ..they just sit back see things and don’t try to help the police..what this nuisance did to darrington was heartless,wicked and cruel.. and he should pay the conseqences..
Had interactions with him, a humble and approachable guy. Lived in a rough neighborhood hears it was over a woman…rest in peace sad that his kids have to go thru this
third world reality/// first world appearance
Don’t let TV fool you, this and worse happens in “First World” countries everyday…
Its happens mostly only in black schools or schools with high populations of immigrants from the Caribbean or Central/South America, but nobody wants to say that…especially on the TV since cheap imported labor has made many so rich at the expense of the middle class.
Has anybody seen all the recent videos of riots on Kwanza Day, its gotten out of hand and hidden and unreported on purpose. The violence and hatred is so out of proportion. Good thing it is being documented with cell-phones and security cams all over the states.
It happens mostly in schools in impoverished areas, due to practices such as red lining, these areas happen to be comprised mainly of people of colour and poor immigrants. The 1% are who benefit most at the expense of the middle class…stop watching so much FOX news…
Your statement is riddled with ignorance and “alternative facts”
What are you? Fox News Cayman?
Another liberal who can only copy what Trump has accused liberals of being. He has made you chase your tail for some time now and all you have are generic comebacks. I guess all those cell phone videos from people not affiliated from network TV are starting to pile up. How much longer can some people fool the public, we know you cant fool all the people all the time.
Another Happy CayJam Holidays.
I hope we all learn something from this tragedy and all others .
You mean we didn’t learn anything from the last hundred similar incidents. Dream on…
2:18 pm , What did you learn from the last hundred similar incidents ?
That a certain culture has decimated Caymans bight future.
That’s very much , and what are you doing about that culture .
God help us.there goes another young Caymanian. Who are we going to blame for this one? The church? The government? The police? The expat community?
Alden…they always blame Alden.
The false leaders and media
God help us ?
Well that naivity probably got us where we are now.
the Roman’s of course
The 500 pound elephant is the trash culture from a nearby island where most men are on drugs and do not take of their of children and women have multiple husbands.
11.22am, you can’t mean Cayman Brac, but a lot of what you describe does apply to Grand Cayman.
My condolences to the Ebanks family on this tragic lost on a day like Christmas day , and remember that it could’ve happened to anyone .
Some people make your New Years resolution like I did in 1989 , NOT to DO , NOT to HANG AROUND WITH/IN THE COMPANY /FRIENDS that do DO . Remember the consequences of DRUGS and GUNS and YOURSELVES , and NO PARENT ENJOY LOOSING their CHILD to VIOLENCE. or loosing a child period.
RIP D
Poor innocent bystander yet again no doubt
Condolences to the family. What an absolute shame.
My condolences to the family ,my Lord what a Xmas present for his parents ,God help us in these beautiful lil islands , were are like a third world country ,and they think we need more people .oh my .
