    Let's see if this set will be granted bail every one thus far caught with guns or drugs are granted bail but then again it ain't got no space at Balsam Ghut for them any how. People for lesser charges are being denied bail but these serious drugs and gun charges are being granted bail make space Balsm Ghut to house them and give the leases charges a break

          Looks like some of 'deeds' down island people neglected their presence in english classes. eye man use a spell checker or let someone else type for you because it is obvious you are not cpapable of thinking. Stop holding in your farts because they travel up your spine and come out.. Wee if you have any common sense then you will see where I'm going with this. Then again, common sense is not as common as most people think.

    When they go court they will get a fine or a suspended sentence.They might even plead NOT GUILTY, claim that it's the boat own the guns not them and get off. The justice system is a JOKE...

      You're kidding right? Let's see. What do we want people to do? 1. Put the guns down. 2. Pick up a shovel, a saw, a weed whacker, a pen, an apron, a wash rag ... anything other than a gun! 3. Get out there and find a job ~ ANY JOB! There IS money circulating for those who are willing to do an honest day's work. You may not make $100,000.00 a year, but at least you will be able to eat, stay alive and stay out of jail! There is no shame in taking a job that YOU consider beneath you. There is a great deal of shame in becoming a danger and a burden to society. Most of the world's greatest men came from very humble beginnings.
