    Nothing against him, but is anyone surprised by the number of people saying "Free Tiejie" and the amount of people who are supportive of it? Imagine if any of those bullets matched any past shooting, including the most recent ones—what do you think they’d be saying? "Oh, it was probably just a mix-up, a cool dude was killed by another cool dude; one's gone, it's sad, but yeah, Free Tiejie.
    Certain people around here can get caught doing the most, but because it's one of their favorites, it’s all good. Imagine talking a week ago about the number of illegal guns on the street, only to now change tune by saying, "real killers are out there," or that self-defense with an illegal gun ain't no big deal, etc.
    Serious question: what do real killers in the BVI look like? And if you know who real killers are from any generation of people, why haven't you ever told the authorities? Selective outrage.
