it was reported to the people of the BVI that crime has fallen: it is also amazing how the crime in our territory is hardly ever spoken about by the politicians(all they harp about is the money and BVI Airways)...The ease at which unlawful substances can move via the public roads from point A to point B is unbelievable: get vex(but you mostly see law enforcement in large numbers following an incident) those with all manner of guns, those in plainclothes and those in uniforms: BVI gone wlld; I recall having murder in our country once every 10 years: progress comes with a very high price......this thing is dam serious, one will think every one will lay low knowing the police out and about but NO; within 48 hours another killing and I submit this is not the first time: the politicians have the territory upside down; now the some young folks right alongside them.
You better wize up and realize that we’re living amongst criminals. That same ones you smiling with, hailing up and dapsing are the same ones who talking innocently like it’s such a tragedy and offering their kind wordsto the family and acting so sorry. You better wake up.
As for the police? Their presence is a joke. Free entertainment. Means absolutely nothing when they’re around . Even if we had a 6 p.m. curfew (just an example) crime will still happen. Both before and after the curfew . Right in front of their faces as we have seen before. Right in the dam station to boot. Then it’s another lifetime to solve that one crime, if we live that long. This isn’t about sounding negative in any way, this is our truth. Our reality. We are in a lot of trouble here in this place. Everybody talking hush hush in their house or their little group and that the end of that. We afraid to do anything else. Fraid to march. Fraid to cuss. Fraid for the boss to hear how u feel for more fear of losing your job. Fraid to speak to your children. Fraid to say anything to your man about his illegal activities. Fraid to report what’s going on even if it’s to mail 10 different letters about what you know, (if you trying to stay anonymous.) We all just talk talk talk whisper and talk some more. No one person or institution is to blame. For the team to win, everybody has to play. Wizely...
Stop blaming the ploitican they dontt sent these people to murder nobody.
