Hey, Wiseup. You talking bull cr*p 100%.
How the hell you turn a news story about gunshot in Road Town into this stuff about white people oppressing your sad and sorry @$$, I just don't know.
You don't think the law is applied unevenly in a 100 other ways every day of the week?
You pull out a set of examples that happen to include cuacasians but any day of the week anyone could pull up examples of the law being unfairly applied across all kind of groups.
So what about when a BVIslander gets a pass from a fellow in customs so they doesn't have to pay duty - while down islanders, whites and all other foreigners got to pay top dollar.
So when police turn a blind eye to well-known local drug man from the street block to the highest parts of government and business, and they arrest a foreigner for the smallest leaf of weed.
When white or Island people living here for 30plus years and they still not granted any kind of status, while other people - white, black, no matter - who pay bribe or have influential friends can get Belonger status in just a couple years.
You plucking out the white feathers and telling us the whole fowl is white. But people aint falling for that. The whole system here is corrupt from whichever way you look at it.
Using a couple examples to tell us there is a big conspiracy based on skin color is not just stupidness, it is dangerous because it spreads false reasons to hate our fellow man.
Why you want even more hatred here? All this wickedness not enough for you?
This is a small place, where are the night duty Police Officers, hopefully not sleeping in dark alleys, or running private security.
Senior Officers need to be made to account for the lack of performance rather than turning their govenment phones off when they go home.
Policing used to be disciplined with rigorous supervision. Where are the leaders, step forward.
When they allegedly caught the teacher and graphic artist with the loaded gun I didn't see you asking where are the night duty officers. You people are the same ones encouraging crimes because you see and then turn blind or you hear then turn deaf when the police comes calling.
That means don't wait on Cop,Govenor, UK Officers to act, we as a ppl must unite regardless of orgin and teach our young children the way. Parents needs to keep tabs on their children, they are the future and must invest time into assisting them on the right path. Education is the key, I never had a golden spoon when I was young but my parents sacrificed everything to give me an education, I see my parents struggle and I understand that I must not let their years of hard work evaporate. I hope we all can sacrifice what is needed to ensure our children has proper education.
Every wicked word spoken in the past, and today......dry up NOW, in Jesus name!!
NO WEAPON THAT FORM AGAINST US WILL PROSPER, AND ANY TONGUE THAT RISE UP AGAINST US IN JUDGEMENT SHALL BE CONDEMN!!
is aar** boi dem
All this tension come from the injustice. The dpp knows.. Tortola can change back to what it once was but it starts from those up high. Not the ones down low...they doin the worst crimes and protecting people to lock up others.. Its plain to see and no one cares do u ever think that these smart young people can't see the road the older generation left them on?.. Its nothing to look forward to..
