I,m lost...I realy don't understand the system.
3 guys get arrest with a bag of gun,certainely not to go fishing.
And all you have to do is pay 20,000 so you can walk around town like a free man?
I guess that you can't comprehend because it said that they were with ammunition! Not guns.
They are not driving around with ammunition to fling at people. It is to go in guns to eventually shoot to kill!!!!!
WHY IS IT STILL UP DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS TO TAKE IT DOWN!!!
All the others seem to have been removed but this one still up when the District Rep seeing it regularly.
you feel for the mother, does the mother feel for society? I am not saying this is her particular case but its impossible that "some" of these parents and siblings are not aware of what their family members are into. Maybe they have talked to them and they are not listening but instead of turning a blind eye to things go to the police parents, even if its your own children, you may just be saving their lives and the lives of another mother's son.
HOW CAN YOU BE FOUND WITH GUNS and/or AMMUNITION AND STILL GET BAIL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
WTF!!!!!
Sorry, yep, it’s too late. In too deep!!
The ammunition could be just for one of them, so that's why they have to give them bail to hear what they will say.
The victim or victims might just plead guilty on their hearing date and hope to get less time for not wasting the Judge time..
You think they’re driving around with ammunition to fling at people?????!!?!!!
Stop talking out your behind.
To whom or what do we owe the posting of these criminals as it has not been the practice in these BVI in fact,hiding and protecting the malcritants,purveyors of illicit drugs and murderers.
