They're catching all of those persons who are behind that fake mika barry nonsense. Soon we're gonna catch the main person. She think that she is safe....
TELL THIS GOVERNOR GET TO WORK OR GO HOME GO SIDDUNG!!!
It sound like you know something
No amount of security or strolling police with weapons could stop allyo from self destruction and perpetuating your curse. Belittling and being treated like savages is how youl like it.
The Governor,when time comes putting on he jacket as he makes smiling exit and without a word proving allyo ain't chitt as evidenced by the gunshots and the bodies,all unsolved. and the crumbling infrastructure and an invited dominant immigrant population of illiterate poverty sharing parasites and a need for a third jail for which there are no funds.
Governor, Premier, etc when will CCTVs be set up in Huntums Ghut???!?!!
The big picture is that we have numerous unsolved murders in the territory. Because the police are not successful (hardly) in bringing anyone to justice, then we have to consider that all those lives lost were innocent. We don’t know the reason for the murders although no one should ever the law into their own hands. So I wouldn’t say to let them kill each other because we absolutely don’t know that that’s the case.
Plain clothes unit need to cover the place 24 /7 on the streets in the Bars. Not sneaking in their house or girl friend house to sleep. Gun crimes being going on too long and is getting worse. Approach need to change...things need to change..Investigating credit card fraud is easy, it leaves lot of paper trail so for the commissioner to crowning and biging up detectives is naive and fake. From my writings you will realized that I don't think we have the right combination or i persons as detectives and more strategy and efforts are needed
The word on the street is that the percentage of violent crimes being solved is EXTREMELY small, so unfortunately, the desire to dust people off when issues arise, is very HIGH.
Will we see that soon?
Truly, without the souccesdful and unwavering efforts of our neighboring USVI.there would be zero illegal immigrant capture on our shores and inland.
Whatever they are doing right we need to get on that and upgrade. Because if that happened here they 4 would be gone and never charged, never mind punished.
money gram & western union is what some of the officers are here for(build a home back home
And now on the news its saying no one was held, this matter will be fellow up on because I'm really disappointed with the way the police officer handle this young visitor, put gun to hes head hand cuff him and throw him into the police vehicle and drag him out by his feet like a pig, we will fellow up on this matter soon as possible, this is not good or acceptable.
Please can this matter be invested please, the BVI is a very beautiful place but these officer need to do a proper job.
To be continue.
BVI. If anyone in the BVI has come across a Kurzweil K2600XS synthesizer or its original Kurzweil K2000 synthesizer, or other devices similar that seem a bit out of place there - they are mine. They were at a 'stout'
location and the owners of that location 'don't know anything about' my property temporarily left there. They did
bring some food I had and a couple small items to a friend on Tortola after I left in Oct 2018. But the big expensive
and rare music equipment has 'dissappeared'. They since then ignore my friend when they see her on Tortola,
pretending they don't know her. I called a few times and 'M S' knows nothing. If you see that stuff, it is mine.
I composed and recorded some albums using that equipment. It is stolen. Police given report do nothing.
Forget All them island man police came from no were sitting in out doors toilet. Born poor come here and getting paid good and living in good house them can't get enough money so they turn to crime. Lo****k is the head cop of w**** B***. Man soon coming for his 3 pint's
But getting back to the question at hand, you don't even arm most of your police and many of them are a joke if you look at their level of physical fitness (pathetic). The argument that I most often hear is that there's this "unspoken understanding" that a criminal being arrested won't resort to deadly force if s/he knows the police officer can't or won't. What a crock of $hit. This new generation of gun thugs cares not a whit about anything like that, and this Territory had better get a grip on this nonsense, or it will see tourism contract to cruise ship passengers who only go to places close by the boat or on an excursion planned by the cruise operator but they won't stay very long or spread that much money around.
If you won't arm your LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, then at least arm your police - all of them. Those that after testing that are found to be unfit don't get guns, but only desk duty. Problem not solved, but a start towards a solution.
With the 70th coming up, we don't need this string of violence. Not now, not ever.
It has become normal to hear them now. I had been hearing Gunshots so often that I am not afraid anymore because it is normal - like the wind blowing.
I made several complaints to the Police and Government Officials about these Gunshots in my community especially in the Purcell Estate Community - but that's a joke to them. It doesn’t make any sense talking about that anymore.
Moreover, we have so many Shootings, Unsolved Murders and Drug Smuggling in this Territory that has become normal as well - like the rain falling.
