Acts of violence are ‘uncivilised’ & should be condemned- DCP Alwin James
According to the RVIPF, security personnel at two establishments, a nightclub in Long Bush and the other at a supermarket in East End, received medical treatment for injuries inflicted by persons who were stopped from entering for not wearing face masks.
Virgin Islands News Online had first and accurately reported on both of the mentioned incidents.
“Similarly, persons in separate incidents were taken to hospital for injuries sustained in fights between present or former friends, coworkers and neighbours,” the RVIPF said in a press release today, October 26, 2020.
Our newsroom had reported on Saturday, October 24, 2020, that a Virgin Gorda man was on October 23, 2020, taken to the Nurse Iris O'Neal Medical facility after a brutal beating by two men while at a social event for the St Ursula Holiday on Lee Road, Virgin Gorda.
‘No excuse’ for such 'uncivilised' acts- DCP Alwyn James
Deputy Commissioner Alwin James, according to the press release, said he was “disturbed” with what appears to be a lack of restraint and self-control by some members of the community.
“We are not only witnessing an inability by some to resist the temptation to inflict injury on those carrying out their duties, but we are also seeing premeditated and orchestrated assaults on colleagues, friends and neighbours in our civilised community.
"Arresting those responsible is one thing but some of those injuries are serious and could be permanent. It is important as a community that we accept no excuse for these acts of violence but voice our unified disapproval. It is uncivilised and must be condemned by all of us,” Mr James said.
Meanwhile, according to the RVIPF, charges have not yet been made in the assault matters, as investigations are ongoing.

The government needs to make some revenue.
Common sense lacking and their self destructive behavior prevails. Totally nauseating bunch.
why put your dirty nasty hands on the security officer?
It's just lack of respect for humanity, because sylver and gold, money and wealth and drugs and smuggling of guns and smuggling human beings appeared to be more valuable to mankind than human beings.
we cherrish crime and criminality more than social good.
we support criminals better than we support law enforcement authority in the bvi,and those of us who know better are a bunch of hypocrites, supporting little boyz who commit crime. jail dem asssss.
soon to come, everyone is going to reside in the jungle, unfortunately, the bvi do not have jungle, we only have country-side, which is also heavily populated.
we cannot run to the sea because on land, we bahave like sharks so when a seassharks would see us, they will be angry at us and attack us like prey, because instead of praying for each other, we prey on each other.
so yes DCP, thanks for coming out and give us the statistics, but we all know what is the problem. the problem is mankind hate mankind and politicians and representatives preaching racial discrimination, telling bvislanders to hate expatriates, and expatriates feeling depress,so they too preaching hate.
The coming of our lord is near: Are we ready for the judgement day.? Are we ready? Are we ready?
For that day to come.
