      I think that they need to be proactive and not reactive. Just seeing how the incident transpire or seeing who did what will not fix it.

      Dont be a fool. People abuse life in nature, they sure as hell will with technology. U dont see people already attaching machine guns to drones? U think i have to be law enforcement to do that? God is the only answer when u reach these stages. But satan got yall fooled.

    Gun violence all over sa. But to think of it that name sounds familiar like some one from St Kitts/Nevis or Anguilla. Anyway a lot of them going island hopping after doing their wrong thinking all will be fine whereever they may go but them lie. They try to sleep after they have done their wrong but God dont sleep.

      You are right, most do things and run to another Island thinking the are good. This is a big world but, it is very small. If people want to find you they will.

    The wee hours of the morning, he should be at home in his bed where he belongs. These young men just know how to grieve their parents heart.
