    Well I'm sure most people have an idea of the types of activities that occur around the basketball court area. They feel the gang life is the cool way of life

      Contrary he plays basketball most weekends and helps them. The problem is when was the last time the police did a major shakedown. Supa cop giving out tickets and harassing people is not policing. You have bikers wearing a mask and riding around like they own the streets or at least have taken it over.

    Talking to them is not enough the minister need to find job for them. I don’t know if is me alone notice the Huntums Ghut looks the worse in Tortola and to think the minister is responsible for works and communication. Please honorable minister give the youths work not only communication. Help them in other ways I see youths at the basketball court lining up like a ghetto. So many people coming in the country and getting work and these young men sitting doing nothing. Someone say the devil always find work for idle people so true.
