So sad we have come so far as black people but we make the road ahead so much more longer to travel.
Soon Mika Barry will expose the person behind such act the RVIPF need to work with Mika to solve theses unsolved murders
Lol really?? How many did this Mika solve so far??
Well, until the government/law step up and start to really drop the Hammer on criminals rather than giving them a simple slap on the wrist, the killing will continue
Clearly, thoughts and prayers don’t work. The laws in this country need to be strongly applied from the bottom up and every drug dealer, drug courier, money launderer and corrupt official tried and sentenced. Only when our community actually turns in their wrong-doing relatives and friends will the BVI start on the road to recovery. If it doesn’t, then there is no future.
stop the shi man. The war on drugs increases violence. What your preaching is obviously not the answer.
How does it not help, if people started holding each other accountable for their wrong doing?
blood or no blood?
It doesnt help because it literally creates the problem. Stamping down on drugs makes it worse!
Legalize regulate and treat drugs as a health issue not a criminal one. When alcohol was made illegal it spawned famous gangsters.
Now alcohol is legal, regulated and treated as a health issue. No one is selling bootleg or smuggling alcohol or murdering people over alcohol sales anymore.
ANOTHER ONE BITES DAHS

What time should your bosses be checking for either of you in there. Sound like both of you hang out in there also.
Where’s the race card? It’s so handy to drop whenever the constant black on black violence happens.
