Fast life, fast demise; the cost is immense—Hon Turnbull
This is according to Honourable Melvin M. Turnbull (R2) during a press conference on January 17, 2025, where members of His Loyal Majesty’s Opposition jointly voiced their concerns over the escalating prevalence of violent crime, particularly among young males.
Hon Turnbull's sentiments were made on the heels of the gunning down of 20-year-old Quintinn Noel, on January 15, 2025, and used the occasion to speak to societal consequences of crime.
Find a skill, find a craft- Hon Turnbull
In a direct appeal to the Territory's youth, Hon Turnbull said there have been escalating incidents involving robberies, shootings, and gun violence in his district and called for a redirecting of “their energies into positive pursuits.”
According to the Second District Representative, “This country was built on the backs of persons without education, without help. Find a skill, find a craft. The money that you are chasing, you will be able to achieve because the BVI is rich in opportunities and the ability to create wealth.”

So because of these things I can’t feel sorry for them when they get killed or locked up! Government and parents are giving these children every opportunity available and yet they don’t want it.
Nobody is kicking them out of school, they are expelling themselves out of society.
on. Mitch Turnbull sentiments in reference to the fast life seekers also fit our political Leaders here and everywhere on this earth. Only difference is that the political Leaders fast lifestyle is legal and the others are not.
Hon. Mitch Turnbull, have you so soon forgotten the Greedy Bill law? The majority of youths that are immigrating the fast life life style are no worse than those that benefit financially, even though the political way is legal and theirs are elegal.
Righteousness exalts a Nation, but sin (wickedness) is a reproach (fall, shame, repulsive, downgrade) against all people everywhere on this earth. (BVI people too) AMEN.

Too much seed and too little responsibility for you actions.
Men need to see that marriage and family is important. All you hot shots all cheating and chasing Spanish women.
These scooter boys is just a result of this bad behavior. We need to be parents and teach these children. We neglect this too long - it now on us
What is he doing for the D2 youths? Only Michale he is feeding.
That leaves no time home to guide the youth, or even know what they’re up to.
Are you telling me that if a kid sees his mother and father working and breaking their backs just to get by, they ain’t gonna choose an ‘easier’ road?
