20 square miles and crimes and lawlessness is getting more serious
These Gun Boys know they can do such things because law enforcement shows after crimes are committed
back in the days police were always moving about our country: we now have more police officers yet crime and i mean serious crimes going unsolved
Unsolved Murders
Unsolved Robbery
Those alive turn away from bad company
Put down the guns
A good man is better than a bad man
Leave badness alone
All these young men dying just like that - some from accidents and incidents, some being gunned down, shot to death, drowning, or been killed on scooters etc.
Then we have another set of young men sleeping on the street, begging for money and becoming mentally insane from drugs and whatever the cause.
Then we have the other set ending up in prison or involve in criminal activities, drug trafficking, some do not want to work and is no benefit to their families, the church, their communities and society as well.
Soon it would not have any man for the young women to married to, and young children are growing up in a fatherless society.
Presently, there are more than two hundred (200) Unsolved Murders in the British Virgin Islands. There is going to be more Murders in a few days or months from now!
And the men here dying straight
Oh boy
Fellas who living honest decent lives and got them self together and not caught up in nonsense or nightlife or wrong friend group's. I pray you find someone for you whose also not caught up and for your future success and safety
Warrants executed regularly on suspected drug dealers. Now the officers remain in the station just waiting for a calls instead of being on the road to prevent situations. It has become that I am waiting on exams so I can get a promotion. Those who work hard are not being recognized. To get a traffic report you have to wait months when it should be weeks. Supervisors are too laid back and not doing what is required by the job.
RIP youth sad situation.
