    Better if the Acting Commissioner focussed on this type of crime instead of trying to spin the crime figures. Any good journalist would ask for the ACTUAL DA figures!!

        Crime with Unlicensed Guns are a SCOURGE and Must be treated differently: any-one caught with an Unlicensed firearm should be subject to a 10 years penalty

        Well defined Self Hatred.
        Blacks hate themselves and anyone who looks like them.
        Jamaicans have been murdering each other by the thousands yearly non stop but already the biggest voice claiming yts as their #1 enemies and that slavery is the proof.
        BVI sinking with the weight of self hatred,.,why would their largest migrant group be the scourge of the Northern hemisphere..Jamaicans and Dingos...triple digit unsolved murders in alilil dot of an Islander manned by excessive imported foreign police as opposed to defouling and banning the import of the scums from the repeated and predictable offending Caribbean countries,,Self hatred,self destruct then point fingers at the yt man..repeat!
