The shooting in Long Look had nothing to do with Long Look, it was brought in by people outside of Long Long.
Long live, Long Look.
You refer to Tortola not the BVI.....
A person cannot be taken into custody for protection against their will unless he/she is legally deemed to be of an unsound mind, anyone who is legally a vulnerable or a minor without a living relative/legal guardián who is willing to provide such protectión for
him. Long look has taken some bad rap within three or four years, three youngmen were murdered with other shooting incidents so i understand why people are saying outsiders are to be blamed. These incidents should be a worry for all of us weather you are from there or any other place in the territory. The thing is how come our leaders are not coming out in públic and speaking out against criminals? How i am not hearing anyone openly calling on us to support the Police? How come i am not seeing our activists marching against crime? To you criminals, brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter if you break the law in my/our country, I will as you may call it rat out on you and if I die for it let it be.
