    Friday happenings reported on Tuesday – sooooo BVI!

    Any further news on the dead body on main street? Or is it too early to ask for an update, or even a follow up on news?

    In fact, it seems that just about all the media houses have a complete and utter inability to follow up on any news events and update the public. Just swept under the rug for some irrelevant article about SCS or JW than none of us give a $hit about!

    Media should be here to keep authorities, police, and others accountable to the people!

    comes around / those guys on scooters have been doing drive bys for years now . Example ( that 11 years school girl who was gunned down along with her father , going west , still remains UNSOLVED ) while blondie and others blaming g the UK / GOVERNORS / CINDY WALWYN THE ISLAND PEOPLE AND WHATEVER HE THINKS WILL HIM A HERO . and we all knows who the the real perpetrators are , but still defending them because of family ties and friends while some are enjoying some of blood money and smiling and acting like it ain’t no big deal / BECAUSE as some of those
    HYPOCRITES are comparing it to other countries as an EXCUSE ( HOW DO PEOPLE KNOWING THAT HUMAN BEINGS LIVES ARE LOST AND STILL SMILING AND CELEBRATING THEIR ILL GOTTEN WEALTH ❓️ @ TOLA YA LARGE ~ he got what he deserved , he had to have known what the consequences would be / just like those here who have been gunned down or went missing / and ALL those wannabe gansters better stay in line OR their fate will be the same / hopefully they kill off eachother , so we can live in peace once more AMEN

    Just go to DMV. They will have a record of the bike owner. Everything about scooters is legal surely, all the way down to how people drive them and how they take care of their own personal safety using helmets.

    Sooner or later they all die,… Problem is more are being born dropped and raised in fatherless households headed by immoral and loose mamas.
