poor black Man U alone be the target while others continue to be protected by the system
School children please note don’t get jealous or feel bad when you see a lot of the now young woman and men with anything. Most of it wasn’t from honest hard work but from illegal actions. A lot of people would sign on a low on a petition to get known criminals out in a heartbeat. Everyone knows 1 of the 3 of those dudes are into drugs and runnings. A lot of parents aware a lot of girlfriends and baby mothers aware them child fathers into drugs and runnings but play blind eye due to money. None of those dealers have more connections than The original Scarface and look how it ended for him? Name 1 successful drug dealers that’s happy and live a comfortable lifestyle. It’s sickening to see how a lot of the now people especially young people just about the blood money. I will never accept a penny from anyone that deals. I’ll never invest anything drug related into a business I want to begin. All those who do have businesses that’s drug funded won’t last for long for the business is legitimate and positive but the funding of it was bloody. The people are only sorry because they got caught and them little go fast friends won’t be around to fund them. This year alone up to last week them put in the graveyard dem sweet never bother a soul loving Azim. If anyone believes he was innocent you’ll really needs help. No one in deals going to have a good life; the money, the amount of chains etc doesn’t mean successful. School children please don’t follow certain people and them lifestyle. Stay in school and do your best. The BVI will get a serious clean up and all those involved will either kill each other or will be arrested and charged accordingly by the law spending some time in prison.
I honestly forgot to mention that no one questions were the so-called investors who comes here and develops all manner of structures(were those dollars comes from)
Just recently one of the financial companies was found to be out of order and simply paid a fine(others would have ended up before the justice system and off to HMP)
don’t be shy(dont talk some-talk all)
You have with wonderful words outlined the shortcuts to having a Majestic Life.
