Outrage Mounts as Richard Frederick Under Fire for Alleged Hypocrisy in Saint Lucia’s Crime Crisis

CASTRIES, St Lucia — Richard Frederick Under Fire yet again, as explosive remarks on his controversial talk show, Can I Help You, have ignited a firestorm of outrage across Saint Lucia. Amid a spiraling St Lucia crime crisis, Richard Frederick’s scathing criticism of so-called “thugs” has drawn sharp backlash, with many accusing him of hypocrisy and alleging that he played a pivotal role in enabling the very lawlessness he now condemns.

Social media and public forums are ablaze with heated reactions, with critics questioning whether Richard Frederick’s outburst is an attempt to eliminate individuals who may no longer serve his interests. As speculation mounts about his alleged involvement in corruption and extrajudicial actions, Saint Lucians are left asking: is Frederick part of the solution, or the root of the problem?

The Messenger is as Guilty

Public sentiment is clear: many are not condoning criminal activity, but they are appalled by the possibility that Frederick himself may be the main perpetrator of the very lawlessness he now decries. One social media user captured the outrage succinctly: “You created the criminals; now you are unhappy with them. Deal with them.” Another reaction characterized Frederick’s recent behavior as an attempt to rid himself of “foot soldiers” who have turned against him, openly supporting his political opponents.

This hypocrisy has drawn comparisons to Richard Frederick’s alleged past actions, particularly during the infamous Operation Restore Confidence (ORC) in 2011, when extrajudicial killings were carried out under the guise of restoring law and order. Critics argue that Richard Frederick’s recent statements eerily mirror the tactics used during ORC, where individuals labeled as threats were eliminated by law enforcement.

A Dangerous Game

The public backlash intensified when Richard Frederick claimed he had SSU officers stationed in areas of concern, a statement many interpreted as an abuse of his influence over law enforcement. “Imagine this fool indicating that he had SSU officers posted around the area. Does he command the police now?” asked one observer. Others speculated that Frederick’s remarks were not merely warnings but direct orders, drawing chilling parallels to past instances where government officials allegedly issued directives to eliminate perceived threats.

One particularly troubling reaction highlighted the implications of Frederick’s comments: “This is a direct call to the police from Richard Frederick for hits on these guys. Just as what happened in Vieux Fort and Central during ORC, individuals were killed by cops. This time, there is no formal operation, so he’s resorting to not-so-subtle threats.”

Hypocrisy in the Spotlight

What has outraged many Saint Lucians is the stark hypocrisy they perceive in Frederick’s actions. The individuals he now condemns are the same ones he is alleged to have previously used to carry out his “dirty work.” As one commenter noted, “This sounds like a boss losing his grip on his thugs. Now that they’ve turned against him, he’s resorting to public threats disguised as vigilantism.”

Frederick’s recent remarks have also reignited scrutiny of his long history of scandals, painting a picture of a politician whose actions speak louder than his rhetoric. From the controversial Bananes Bay scandal, where he allegedly sold a prime government asset at a grossly undervalued price for personal kickbacks, to the brazen transfer of 35 parcels of crown land into his own name under the guise of his local government portfolio, Frederick’s track record raises serious questions about accountability.

His critics also point to his infamous “bread on the dead” scheme, where he allegedly siphoned government funds by constructing tombs for personal profit, as well as longstanding allegations of money laundering, drug trafficking, and his abusive treatment of women—described by many as behavior befitting someone who grew up “sans met” or “without owner,” as locals would say. As Frederick continues to label ordinary citizens as “thugs,” the public is left asking: who is the real thug in the Philip J. Pierre administration?

Another reaction tied Frederick’s actions to a broader decline in governance: “Who made the city a ghetto? Look at the new CDCs today—more bad boys who don’t work now own apartments. These apartments were meant for government workers. Who enabled this?”

Rising Calls for Accountability

As the controversy continues to escalate, many are demanding that Frederick be held accountable not just for his words but for his alleged role in fostering the very crime culture he now decries. Some have called for regional and international organizations to investigate Frederick and the Saint Lucian government, arguing that his recent remarks constitute a dangerous abuse of power.

“This is eerily similar to the Black Squad killings of 2011,” one resident said, referencing a time when government officials were accused of issuing directives for the extrajudicial elimination of individuals. “Is this going to be ORC all over again?”

Frederick’s critics have not held back, with many accusing him of hypocrisy and self-serving motives. “You created the criminals; now you are unhappy with them. Deal with them,” one Facebook user remarked. Others questioned his apparent access to video evidence of criminal activities, asking why he hasn’t handed it over to the police commissioner. “Who does he answer to? Who is really in charge here?” another commenter asked.
