I am not sure who he was - in his late 50s or probably 60’s and very aggressive - was also pushy in the immigration line at STT, and aggressive at the airport. Tried to square up to a tall white man at the airport but backed off when he realized the guy was bigger than him - think he is more used to pushing little kids around.
If anybody knows who he is, he should be put onto the banned list for the BVI.
Once something can wash ; two people can use it.
