    Dude, if you had done the right thing by not running off, your behind would not be tied up in the mess that you are in. Had TALKTOLA here throwing the dead guy all up under the train wheels for a accident that he did not cause. Same thing with the young man from Sea Cows Bay with the flatbed truck.

    The guy was released. No proof that he hit the guy just speculation.

    Not sure if he will get charge or not because they always have somebody hold just release them, wait till the person is actually charged to post this; and if he did do this shame on him but question: what happen to the other guy that got killed on a bike by the police officer?why isn't his face going around?where is the surveillance of the biker they so claim was driving on the wrong side of the road?ooohhhh because it's a police its on the downlow right, what goes for one should go for all.

    Mothers hearts are aching for their sons that are dying like dogs on the streets of Tortola. The sad thing about this is, these young guys would not go home at an early time. These kinds of hours you should be home in your bed sleeping. These 3 o'clock hours are when the demons come out. Mothers, PRAY!!!PRAY!! THE DEVIL IS AFTER THE MALE SEED! IF YOUR CHILD IS STILL LIVING WITH YOU, DO NOT GO TO SLEEP UNTIL THEY ARE HOME. CALL THEM! CALL THEM! TELL THEM THAT IT IS TIME TO COME HOME. LORD HAVE MERCY! MY HEART IS HURTING!

    How come the police can find evidence for the hit and run accident that time of the morning and they never find evidence to charge the white pick up Dominica man with the accident in the same area which was high day. But the obeah woman from Huntums Ghut blame the two police men.
