You live by the sword you die by the sword that’s it and that’s all
Yall label anybody a business man that’s the new name for drug men ?
Then will talk about how they “contributed” to society SMH
Of course it is. When I hear the word business man it makes me cringe. It makes the true business men/owner looks bad. The majority of businesses in the BVI is or has been getting $$$$
backing from criminal elements on the down low.
nature’s little secret is that the drug game is the third pillar of our economy
You live by the gun die by the gun time longer than twine.
A heavy spirit have just been lifted off the BVI
People could rest now and leave them house in peace
You think?? That is a false sense of security.
Just like Ian he ain last too long they feel they untouchable
Another idiot will take his place.You get instant wealth but you won’t live long. How is that a life anyone would want to live?
And the next idiot who take his spot will be added to the green light list book. Today his name happen to be picked of the list. Look at how they take him out in broad daylight and left him on the side of the road like a piece of garbage. Whoever is pulling the trigger these days is becoming more and more ruthless they don’t care.
mehson shut your illiterate a** up , ian done dead and gone leave he the f**k out !
Karma. Today for me Tommorow for youu.
What ‘business’ is worth death??
Cry if you want, but ah badness it name!
045 of best empty da clip….
Killing all west Bank just hold on
West Bank and the people that he hang with and do business with knows what’s good meaning they are putting themselves in the line of fire.people known and label for whom they associate themselves with.
Look where his life came to an end laying on the side of the road all alone the day before Mother’s Day. I am so glad the news site did not blur the crime scene picture out. I hope the ones that is into the gangster lifestyle and think you all gangster, that is exactly where you are going to end up laying on the side of the road if you don’t slow your roll.
On a next level this shows how unsafe this place is. In broad day light with many people around. Common citizens are sitting ducks easy prey if they were not after each other. How merciful. we are at their mercy and the authorities keep letting them out.
Election called
Hmmm and just a few feet from the 2017 west end shooting.
