      I commend the school for locking down as well and keeping the students safe. As a parent, to any schools on the Island please go on lock down if you hear gunshots in the vicinity of your school. These gunmen is more brazen and may run up in a school to get away from the shooters.

    It must have been a slow news day? Nevertheless, men chupid. They want exclusive main ting or an exclusive side ting(s) ignoring the rules of the game , the hustle. To play game, one has to know the rules of the game to play the game. Men are amateurs in this tough game where women have the power.. They have what men don’t have and bad. Women have brought down kings. Some men try to control women and their powerful weapon, leading to trouble, sometime big trouble.. Women use their power to abuse, exploit men who are chupid..History is replete in instances where women power has ruined men and warm loving relationships they had but want more sexy, exotic exclusive side tings. Want all end up wid nun tarl. Men wise up yu chupid rass mon. You cannot control women power so quit trying to and getting yu self in trouble. Again, women power have ruin and bring king’s down. What is this women power yo waxing about you say? I will that to each imagination.
