    Why are our innocent brothers being executed abroad? He come from our own god loving gentle society where angels are born. Why they do this to one of our virtous own that would do no body no harm. This reeks of the hand of our colonial masters and their plot to stop Independence. Another media tells us a little of the background of this wholesome VIslander. Why would anyone do this to one of our sinless sons of the soil?

      BuzzBVI person must be one of them British persons here on work permit who want to get citizenship so bad since they always posting about BVI and UK passport unfair exchange.

      • BuzzBvi says:

        Interesting. So it’s not because she wants to see fairness for people, and things to be done properly and the guilty to be put in jail, and have transparency in Government, or Financial Reports and Audits and a better cleaner nation, and a nation that is not run by and for criminals but for all the people who live in the VI. You have an interesting point.

    The RVIPF crackdown on crime is working. Anguilla police are weak so all the hit men have moved their to continue their criminal occupation.

      You are a genius it seems. Perhaps you all should keep your criminals from coming to Anguilla so people here don’t have to do what you all should be doing: getting rid of them.

    If our system used to work properly he would be in jail here instead of dead over there now.

    As the child of an expat who grew up in the BVI did well and have since left, it is a pity youre so miserable with yourself. Every week its the same thing, xenophobic rhetoric lacking any substance analytical depth amd failing to address underlying issues contributing to crime in your society.

    On a different note, I sympathize with the fsmily of the deceased but perhaps his * will finally realize that she wasnt thst great of a *. She was quick to look down on other people’s children.

  9. Jounalism What??? says:

    “…just three days after arriving on the island”. So murder is better if you have been there longer?
    If he had been there a month then all good?

    … a local entrepreneur in the BVI and the owner of … always are!

    • BuzzBvi says:

      Definitely not a criminal. There are no VIslander criminals, just persecuted local entrepreneur business owners. They need to free all our innocent brothers in Balo now! We need a VIslander as top cop to stop these injustices.

  14. My Voice says:

    Pray for the Young Men in the BVI

    All these young men dying just like that – some from accidents and incidents, some being gunned down, shot to death, killed on scooters etc.

    Then we have another set of young men sleeping on the street, begging for money and becoming mentally insane from drugs and whatever the cause.

    Then we have the other set ending up in prison or involve in criminal activities, some do not want to work and is no benefit to their families, the church, their communities and society as well.

    Soon it would not have any man for the young women to married to, and young children are growing up in a fatherless society.
