How ayo no seh tis someone on a scooter kill dis dude????
IJS
(but I agree, they are a nuisance)
Someone knows something.
Something have to be done
And if the drone is the last option to catch the culprit thats what they have to do...
Maybe u kno whats goin on y u want privacy...cause if they want to keep their privacy they would not be doin the f@*k they doin, an then aryo feeling sorry for them, kmft strupes aryo sickening.
Hurry up, already Governor!
Check out those thugs dressed in white undershirts under that big tree in Baugher's Bay, all day doing nothing but on their phones and surrounded by the scooters, living large! who are the parents for these young men?? obviously they are not working, so therefore they must live with someone! Check out those dressed in black undershirts (I think they are from Belle Vue). Come on! get out on the road and do your job! there are too much blood being shed on this island and Lord help us, if we don't pray to 'ward' off the hand of God from destroying us with another disaster! This is not funny, it is a spiritual warfare that this country is going through!
A lot of witchcraft and the like is going on and we have still not learned from the August 2017 flood and the two hurricanes! ALL IS NOT WELL IN THIS COUNTRY! CHURCHES NEED TO RISE UP! THE BVI IS UNDER ATTACK BY THE ENEMY! MOTHERS IF YOU HAVE TO TURN IN YOUR SONS, TURN THEM IN! THEIR LIVES ARE AT STAKE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS!
So the is the people.
Just relax and don't take note now. We ent see nothing yet Mr. Premier, Mr. Governor and Mr. Commissioner. No drone will be able to stop the backlash of a reckless generation of youths who disobey the law.
Leave TRINIDAD AND West End out your vocabulary, what are you trying to do point fingers to shun the real blame from YOU the murderer ... or maybe your friends??? Do not cast blame on the innocent because of jealousy. I do not think the people from West End have time to waste on fools. As if the Local police are not already accepting enough bribes, should they take charge and with most of them that has mentality like yours...WELL sad to say Tortola and all its people are doomed.
It is enshrined in our constitution that if the territory reach at a state where the police cannot maintain law and order or it has become ungovernable, he shall declare a state if emergency and invite the British troops to maintain Law and Order. Do we need that to happen?
We do not have to look too far in the past when we had the hurricane Irma and Maria. The governor enforced a curfew and many people quarrelled. This type of behaviour is not helping the cause and we will reach to that point where the Governor will have no alternative if this shooting continues. Should we allow a few undesirables to disrupt the peace that we are accustomed to, I am sure we do not need that. So let us work collectively and expose these elements in our society.
Residents are crying out for more police visibility. Do something. We already suffer from the inconvenience of navigating through the potholes. An extra minute to have your vehicle searched is a small price to pay to save our beloved Virgin Islands.
Where are the street lights
I think every street lightpost should have a camera on it.. we need the street lights
St**ky we watching you ..you no he got peanut .we gah deal wid you for dis.. Sm.. Family
We are our brothers keeper and should be looking out for each other. Time to stop the boasting of what we have and doing and get real. Those storms we had shoule be our eye opener but its clead that we are all still sleeping. Please lets take care of this country, its ours.
Why?? Exactly what you said: who scratching whose butt, who’s not from here, whose involved with who, and at the end of the day those same matters they should have addressed develop into a volcano.
Then we wonder why things are the way they are!
Imagine one of the largest social facilities in the territory is being held hostage by a handful of people. Yet we wonder why the youth get involved in mischief. Lets do more to reach out to our youths. Back in the day we use to settle our beef in the sports arenas and fields etc. but these facilities no longer exist so its to the streets we go.
Now let's regroup and go catch the criminals.
on May 24, 2013 Trumayne Daway, 20, pleaded guilty to handling stolen goods when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Tamia Richards .
SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 A mother and her son will know if they will have to serve time at Her Majesty’s Prison after they were found guilty of committing crimes against a police officer. Trumayne Daway, was found guilty on Friday by Senior Magistrate Tamia Richards.

Feb 28 2018 Our newsroom can now confirm that the lone male found shot to death in his SUV, with number plate: PL 630, at Brandywine Bay in the wee hours of this morning Wednesday February 28, 2018 is local resident, 26 year old Trumayne J. Daway aka 'Passion'.
Quick story: My wife left her brand new cell phone on the counter at airport - thought our vacation was going to start off to the bad, but low and behold, it was secured and delivered back to the far end of the island by dinner - we were blown away to say the least! We thought what a miraculous place and people - that would not have happened in the US of A. Stayed 2 weeks and spent about 10K and never felt better about putting our hard earned dollars into the local economy. Been following Vino since hurricanes to see how quickly we could return in an effort to support the BVI with more spent dollars.
All of the news of shootings, killings (young girl), government unrest/untrust, corruption and especially the fact that local residents will not inform on known criminals brings me to the reality that I can have that same experience for a $30 bus ride into our big cities right here at home. Reality sucks! It all saddens me and I certainly won't chime in with "arm chair" solutions from afar. We simply want to come back and visit without fearing for our safety - Oh well, maybe I will check back in with Vino tomorrow and everything will be alright in paradise - all criminals arrested, Justice for Trinity, elected officials working hard FOR the people, young people respecting themselves and others, good jobs for the locals and a rum drink with nutmeg waiting for us to return with tourist $ - like I said, reality sucks!
