They'll rethink how bad they are then.
Why would dome one be carrying those big @$% bags to a club?
Satan is the Grand Master. When the majority of the people of any Country agreed and practice his evil ways, you can expect a rise of violent crimes, in reference to the topic matter or issue, believe or not.
Note: 1. The RVIPF can only so much. Each and everyone are accountable in way more than one.
Note: 2. Every action begins with one or more thoughts. Let us think right, so that we will be made able to speak, and do the things in the presence of God and human, if not, the worst is yet to come.
Note: 3. Corruption is proof of corrupted minds.
Note: 4. Let us guard our mind with the inpenatratible shield of Love for God, our Creator, and mankind our neighbors, and equal.
Bunch of *$% h*les living in the area that is your end results davis funeral home smiling.
Better learn before you meet Hell fire.
I say we playing blind, dumb and deaf in Tola. Police need to trace the IP address of fools like this person, hiding as "Free Killa". Well from my understanding they do, but have to play it right bc people will not trust the media anymore, but just know your stupid @$% is being watched.
We are all being watch 24/7 the five eyes are insatiable & highly illegal. Do your research.
But speak still there is power in the tongue & as our ancestors had it worse than some self righteous I.T dude with a badge checking to see if we are committing thought crimes.
The lord will deliver us a feast in the presence of our enemies. Amen.
Please take note:
Matthew 26:50-52:
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
The next time you take out your gun to kill someone, you will die by that same gun. You better repent!!
These people walk around with these weapons, holding grudges and would rather let their gun speak than their mouths or even old school fist fighting.
We should be helping the RVIPF, it’s only so little they can do. Stop witnessing crimes and not speaking up because you’re afraid … make a report anonymously!!!
I know we all won’t like if the UK Forces come down here to take control , but at the rate this country is going .. that’s exactly what is going to happen.
just like my dog
N H I bet he has not contributed a dime,
Black killing Black is entertainment for the Go****r and most w**es. That's why its good that Meth distribution is on the rise. Keep on pushing.
Policing in the VI,policing your land brethren should be done as a public service.
Aisha the stupid @&& argument about Tainos an what not.
You are the one who should be humble with your ancestors many & recent crimes against humanity.
Besides BLM is about rampant racism & biased policing & the vicious murderous police brutality in the USA & not everyday criminality activity.
Its about stopping the people who are tasked to serve & protect..... from riddling people with bullets or suffocating them on the ground while they say "I CANT BREATHE" which happened multiple times!
To the people calling to raid every house man you sound like a damp fool.
We can not put such laws in place that have the potential to be abused by a future Authority - who ever it may be.
Every leadership if it is to remain benevolent to the people requires restrictions to their power. Power regularly corrupts & must be held in check.
This is not an absolute monarchy... unless the king scrapes everything political and starts giving orders...
In countries where you can get disappeared by police do you think they get a warrant before the kidnapping? To help with their own investigation & prosecution?
We've been under lock down curfew for longer than most people in the world after IMRA. Didnt solve a thing. People still got killed during that time. It certainly didnt solve covid either because people are still being infected.
Uk police came down but in reality a lot of the strangers left & for a while the place was deserted in comparison to pre Irma.
During that time of devastation people became more caring, sharing & vigilant as we used to be.
I admit locking down for covid & restricting tourist probably did slow the spread but when we opened up all the virus rushed in.
Its election time & these problems need to be solved at the root.
Without degrading our civil liberties & rights to privacy.
Provide lucrative & creative opportunities for the young people that they can feel proud of.
Some of them would be proud to be in the cannabis and the gambling industry if done right, and develop that into a low entry barrier home grown tourism powered industry.
Create informal shared market spaces East, West, Town and funnel tourist to it.
Where the hell does one even get a gun from and how does everyone tom dick & harry know where to get it but the police dont know?? Why is no one being caught importing them? Fishy & I hope its the seaweed.
Police needed a COI badly pure racist agenda to exclude them. Afraid to drag their name through the mud while its OK to do it to local politicians?
From not being able to find these guns to having that navy ship come to dispose of the coke which was "too much to destroy locally"
To previous Gov Jaspert suddenly being aware of "high level drug trafficking" when he settled into fighting with the premier. Coincidence? Seemed like behave and you can do wrong, misbehave & we set you up.
its leaving room for people to question what is the reality.
If your child is found with a gun or kills someone, the parents should be arrested forthwith.
Some of you all parents are too careless and raise a bunch of thugs who are out all night on the street until the wee hours of the morning while you all are home in your bed fast asleep! How on earth can you go to sleep and sleep comfortably knowing that your lawless child is out??? These parents should be hauled before the courts if these thugs live with them! No matter how old they are, you should hold your boys accountable to come home at a reasonable time or else tell them to look for their apartment!! Do you careless mothers and fathers search your boy's rooms????? DO YOU??? YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT THEY HAVE WEAPONS IN YOUR HOUSE THAT HAVE TAKEN SOMEONE'S LIFE! SEARCH!!! SEARCH!!!!
The BVI has gone to the dogs now! Do you mean to tell me every weekend a murder, a shooting by these young thugs?? Haul their parents out of their beds and lock them up in the cell at the Police station and then drag them before the Magistrate in the morning to answer for these out-of-hand boys that they have roaming the streets of Tortola all night as if they own the place, and taking lives as if they give life to take it! IT HAS TO STOP!! I AM MAD!!
SOME KIND OF ORDER NEEDS TO COME TO THIS PLACE! IT'S WORST THAN THE WILD WILD WEST!!
RVIP, DO YOU REALISE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?? THIS IS REVENGE KILLING!! YOU KILL MY DWAG, I KILL YOUR DWAG AND THE BEAT GOES ON! IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP!! WE NEED THE UK MILITARY IN THIS PLACE TO BRING ORDER TO THE BVI!! YOU CANNOT EVEN SEE THE POLICE WALKING THE STREETS ANYMORE! THIS PLACE IS A FREE FOR ALL!
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON I SAW A CIVILIAN, A CIVILIAN!! DIRECTING TRAFFIC BY RITEWAY AND ROYAL SHOP JUNCTION! THANK GOD FOR THAT MAN OR ELSE CARS MIGHT HAVE BEEN BACKED UP ALL NOW! NOT A POLICE IN SIGHT! I REMEMBER SUPER COP USED TO BE OUT THERE DEALING WITH THE TRAFFIC AND NOW HE IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN?
THIS PLACE NEEDS CLEANING UP MAN!
HOW MANY MORE MOTHERS WILL BURY THEIR SONS??
CRACKDOWN TEAM
I think the churches also need to come out from within the four walls and spread the gospel message because truth be told, we are living in the end times and the message needs to be preached far and wide. These young souls are perishing. Some of these single mothers may have tried and given up because the father is nowhere to be seen. Mothers, you cannot give up. if the father has left there is nothing that you can do about it, but step up to the plate and be the best mother that you can be to your son. Like I said, put down the rules in your house. Put a curfew in place. If they cannot abide it, let them find their own apartment! And SEARCH THEIR ROOMS!! YOU ARE THE BOSS AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO SEARCH THEIR ROOMS. IF YOU FIND ANYTHING YOU NEED TO REPORT IT TO THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT BE ASHAMED! YOU MAY SAVE YOUR SON FROM HELL. MOST OF ALL PRAY, DON'T STOP PRAYING!
