Its safer to walk in parks or on a beach.
I hope this person is found and given the max punishment under the law.
This group was walking in the morning but so many are walking at night in dark clothes and no lights, I am suprised that these people are not hit by a vehicle.
It is much safer to walk in a park or on a side road. Drive to capoons Bay and walk on the field. I walk on beef island old Airport road. No traffic. Walking on any highway road is very dangerous.
