The ones that are out here, not the ones that is out here..
reach in the house POW!!!! HEAD BLOW CLEAN OFF. Then that will be there wake up call.
Only thing they aint going to wake up at all.
BVI did it to themselves. Say Goodbye to what once was and be prepared for another hell on Earth in paradise.
I never saw police at all growing up and never locked doors and left keys in the car when parked. Didn't have Police stations in the community cause their was no need due to the civility of inhabitants.Police and Policing in the BVI do double duty of insulting and reminding.They are insults to our character and reminders that they are imports brought to protect the BVi from their brethren imports and their offspring.
@concerned, you are correct. I grew up on this Island, this Island was peaceful, you could leave/sleep with your doors unlocked and open. Sorry but I am going to say this, as soon as they start letting certain people in, the crime wave started. My grandmother house was never robbed.She use to leave her back door crack, as soon as a family from StK..... move in next door, her house was robbed not once but 3 times.
@ Wise up. Truth be told . I dont kno you But you have noticed that , Do you think ANY ONE from Immigration/Labour / Police / Politicians see this as something to be concerned about ?
I think not ; mentality here now is ; " as long as d shit dont come inside my house it can run in front of my step "
It is SADD
