I am happy to hear that no one was killed in the shootout. I hope that all needed information will be quickly known by our law enforcement team, and that the guilty ones or one will be punished accordingly.
Righteous behaviour is the strongest stableliser that causes peace. War is the consequences of selfish ambitions among people of all communities.
.
Please note. Some political inactions not taken, and some actions that were taken, over the years, that did not considered the just and rightful needs of all members of our community members have contributed to some of these random shootings, in one way or the other.
My personal honest opinion has been rightfully been expressed. Respect.
What a dumb comparison
Change the dominant demographic of the VI,we will be guaranteed a future with prosperity and clean air.
Help the youths instead of turning your backs!!!!!
Others said it is former governor Jasper's fault.
Others said, no, it them Christian fanatics fault.
Others said, you stupid or what? Don't you know since the UK sent the CoI here in an attempted to help curb corruption all hell has broken loose in our country?
Others countered and said, it the police mostly should be blamed for the rised in shootin case nowadays.
While others said, it the dishonest practice of political leaders fault.
Others argued, it's the crooked pastors fault. The crooked pastors responded, had more church attendance gave bigger offering I would have been able to pray the devil away.
Then the gun shooters said, if those pigs police approached me, I will gave them a closeup view of my various gun barrels
Others said, nope, you all said it wrong, we only pushed the drugs, but many that craved for it, paid for it, and have used it the main problem of all.
Then one person said, I know whose at fault for all our shooting spikes. Another person asked, who is? He answered, God is.
Then God spoke and said, all of your problems is based on your own selfish ways. He went on and said, who dare can proved Me wrong? Can the devil and you do? No and never forever.
Note: gun as dangerous tools. An evil mindset is most dangerous of all.
A two year old was in the back seat! I shudder to think how this could have turned out.
Let us together continue trying to save our seed, God being our true source of help. Remember or don't forget, which everyone is applicable to you, that "IT IS NOT IN MAN THAT WALK TO DIRECT HIS STEPS."
Most of us think, believe, and act as if we can. No wonder we have been burdened, and are being burden with so many problems.
The Bible says that "there is no peace for the wicked."
God only is the source of true. Man offer cease fire, but God offers please of mind. Read Psalms 91.
Find whoever is selling guns and put them away because these street level people aren’t smart enough to import for themself.
In my state (Vermont) EVERYONE has a gun (same in New Hampshire, and Maine) and there is virtually no gun violence. Why? Because the gun owners are LAW ABIDING PEOPLE. The BVI and Europeans in general refuse to recognize the difference between LAW ABIDING gun owners and CRIMINALS WHO OWN GUNS, and it's stupid. US cities with the strictest gun laws have the highest rates of gun violence - why? Because the CRIMINALS WHO OWN GUNS don't care about the gun laws, and also know that the LAW ABIDING PEOPLE will be unarmed and they can therefore prey on them.
This phenomenon happens EVERYWHERE that the government refuses to distinguish between LAW ABIDING CITIZENS and CRIMINALS WHO OWN GUNS, and it will accelerate here unless and until LAW ABIDING CITIZENS are allowed to own guns for personal protection. The right to defend oneself is the most basic of all human rights, but so many people are foolishly willing to abdicate that right to a government that clearly cannot effectively protect them.
Finally, what is the average sentence given out to a criminal who commits a gun crime in the BVI? I don't know the answer but I'm willing to bet that it's a slap on the wrist.
