the chains..... distractions and interference fom his potentials.
#TALK!!!!!!!!!!
You gave no shame nonhumanity.
RIP brother! Condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
RVIPF your on a roll but please do something about these guns, it cant be that hard when every dunce seems to be able to find them. Not much reason to have a gun beside wanting to hurt someone from afar. Legislators up that sentence to 25 years mandatory and then they'll be looking for a way out.
Gun culture is sickening, we dont need it here. Just a bunch of cowards for example they'll be right up under each other arguing but rather go and come back scared to get in a real fight.
the bloke from london holds responsibility for law and order in this place
the governor and the commissioner of police both from the united kingdom hold responsible for national security:
why some of us so fearful of speaking the facts: when last the commissioner of the police gave the residence of the community an update on the multiple unsolved crimes
when last mr commissioners or mr governor came forward and gave an outline on how they intend to fight crime in the BVI(may be because the crimes are black on black)....it is not a priority among the UK representatives
there is unsolved murder going back to the late 80s but the only people we continue to pick on is the political leader
as a matter of fact in comes the commission of inquiry to ridicule local authorities BUT most of us have nothing to chat because the territory borders continues to be violated with dope and guns(ask the governor why nothing is done!!!!
maybe we should be asking ez shipping what we got for the million dollar contract to secure our boarders...thats when all these guns came in..point the fingure in our iwn back yard..dont pick and choose what we blame uk for
By blaming those expat government people to make them sound like your evil oppressors, you now make it even less likely BVIsanders will help get justice for the victims of violent crimes and murders.
You and your Wiley Cayote crew will, at some point, feel the effects of gravity and fall to earth hard.
They better stop the code of silence s**t because the G*****e community is under the gun and is the target. They either turn dude in or become the target for not turning him in. I wonder if the airport is on alert in the event that the killer is trying to flee the Country.
The next 48 hours are crucial in solving this murder, but the police have a jumpstart; cameras inside and outside, eyewitnesses.
Please RVIPF, please do not let this one end up on the Unsolved List.
At this point in time, solutions and why are for a another day. This moment is for the families and friends of the deceased who are experiencing a very difficult moment and must be allowed to grieve peacefully, our heart goes out to them because this pain is not easy, therefore they need our encouragement and support during what we can describe as another senseless killing.
LASTLY, it is high time that public officials mandate that all public businesses have CCT installed and working within their premises to enable to carry out business. Failure to do so carrys a hefty fine and suspension of licence, we are in these moments now.
Also convicted murderers should receive whole life sentences meaning no possibility of parole, you died in prison, the legislation is in UK and all commonwealth countries let's get bvi adapting.
So T***....A***n couldn't take his blows like man to man up the gut had to put a man to kill this man yooooo smfh
Shut the fu•• up
Sincere prayers and condolences to his family, especially his mother. Yall need to do right by her... we can't keep adding to all our unsolved murders list. That s**t is played out... frfr
RIP
AND!!!! Yall need to STOP patronizing these establishments because the owner's only concern today was that the news outlets not take pictures of his "club" because he'll lose business. He didn't have the decency to offer any type of comfort to this grieving family but Time longer than Twine. Boycott that establishment because men with a mentality like that is the problem. He must think people don't know where this murder occurred because the news outlets ain't release the name but we got to show them better than we can tell them. You got to work too hard to throw way your money to heartless people. Boycott his place
Dude better not come down here with the mess. The s**t that he is running in Tortola he is not going to get away with it down here. Want to try that gangster shit down here we got bigger and much bad gangsters that will set that little nig straight
