ITS THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO’S RUNNING THE COUNTRY / THEY CALL THEMSELVES ARISTOCRATS AND THEY REALLY BELIEVE IT , SOME WILL SIT IN THE STREET IF CREATES A DESIRED EFFECT , SOON THEY MIGHT EVEN TRY TAKING A NAP ,JUST TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT ?

What if the gun used was one brought in by head coach.Will he be given credit
was he trying to kill but got killed?
It’s not the island it’s the psyche of the people who decimate the stature of the island via the inflated rate of criminalities being perpetrated. both by locals and persons who migrated here to the BVI.
6:30pm is early. I hope someone saw something and share with the cops. There should be cameras in the area and I hope the cops secure and review them before it’s too late as is the norm.
