I AM SICK OF SEEING THESE NEWS ITEMS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING. THEY ARE CONTINUING TO ALLOW THESE LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL THUGS TO TERRORIZE THE STREETS MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT! THERE ARE NO CCT CAMERAS ANYWHERE!!! THEY ARE GETTING AWAY ON THEIR SCOOTERS AND LAUGHING AT THE POLICE! NDP GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GO NOW! THE THUGS ARE LAUGHING AS THEY ARE THE ONES RUNNING THE COUNTRY NOW
what can the government do if they dont have info? our sons and daughters are involve and is withholding all the infoormation fron the local authorites, so tell me, id that happen, what can they do? parents know that their children are in gangs, bringing home plenty cash and drugs, and yet dont report them to the police….those same kids get themselves into trouble and get kill. if something was done before, maybe they would have been save from that evil force that is leading them into the part of destruction.
SHAME! SHAME! NOT A CAMERA ANYWHERE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THESE LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL THUGS ARE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT IS NO SECURITY ANYWHERE! NO CAMERAS, NOT ENOUGH POLICE! THEY ARE GETTING AWAY ON THEIR SCOOTERS AND LAUGHING AT THE POLICE!
THEIR PARENTS ARE AT HOME TUCKED AWAY IN THEIR BEDS WHILE THESE THUGS RUN THINGS IN THE COUNTRY MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT! THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!
WE HAVE NO SECURITY IN THIS COUNTRY! NDP NEEDS TO GO NOW!! HOW MANY MORE HAVE TO DIE PARENTS AND GOVERNMENT? HOW MANY MORE??
Yeah your right Peaches, all them doing is droning on about getting a Drone, what that gonna do apart from get shot down!
NOT AGAIN!
It’s 5 minutes to midnight. Parents do you know where your sons are? Mine is in his bed sleeping.
Tola gone downhill RAPIDLY
At 5 minutes to 12:00 last night, me and my son was up talking about a game we had just watched.
Ya’ll sound retarded bout no cameras anywhere ..the cameras helped solve previous murders..no cameras anywhere is due to Irma licking everything doe amd flinging everything everywhere…the cameras will come. Parents need to take control of them unruly bad ass terrorist children
I feel it’s very ignorant to say “ya’ll sound retarded”. I don’t use that word in such an uneducated derogatory way as it is so disrespectful to mentally challenged people and their families. I also feel your spelling and grammar should be improved before making a statement like that.
However, with that said you’re correct these young black men killing my each other needs to stop and it should start at home.
Probably an old car backfiring. Everybody jumpy
stop using my name
More likely they took some more exhausts off the scooters.
Parents abuse is a serious thing in the Virgin Islands now. Parents over the years somehow got a bit soft and the now new culture of the youths today mindset make them feel like their the ones in charge. I know it have parents trying but again now scared of their daughter/s or son/s. I’ve seen some reactions of big man and their parent.
It’s a point where the parents have no say. Parents abuse is not new. We all talk about children abuse etc but in this century parents are being abused by their children more. It would be if those parents who scared of their children get help ASAP. It will be good if they also report gut feelings of their daughter or son being involved with something bad. Nevertheless the issue are in the circle of who’s been getting shot. Once you’re a brother, friend, clique members etc ) most likely you are involved or in danger or will do damage to someone.
Police needs to let parents know – if you report their daughter or son and the police come to the home and find any drugs, large amount of cash or guns then (daughter or the son) will be charge Ect.
If parents don’t report their daughter or son and with the police work ended up at someone house where they find (guns, heavy amount of money and drugs) every single person in the house should feel the pain and charged. Most enjoy the opportunity of living off of illegal activities and find it difficult to report after. However by now the parents in the circle of last month activities should be somehow reaching home by now.
I dont understand, parents are abused by undisciplined children?
It is the parents job to ensure their children grow into reasonable, respectful adults. If a child turns into a monster, the parent obviously missed quite a few warning signs. Or wasn’t paying attention.
For the next few weeks to months I would like to see the night filled with the lights of the Police vehicles.
Please protect yourselves and stay safe right now more than ever you need to be out front.
Good Luck and God Bless.
