In the words of Fred Neil, “...I only know that Peace will come, when all hate is gone”
Of course they know who did it. Those fake snakes in the grass need to stay out of the boy mother face with the lies and deceit. Just speaking for myself, if I was his mother I would pitch a p*t of h*t b***** w***** in their faces when they come to me with the fake lies both males and females. One set of dirty @## fake hypocrites they are.
I agree, how can they stand in the man mothers face and be so damn fake knowing and saw who killed her son.Those are some very dangerous people, covering for the killer. #$%^ that sh** about snitches getting stitches. The same gunman that they are covering up for is going to do the same to them because they know his secret. That is why I stay low, there is no such thing as friends. My friend is God, he will never betray or turn his back on me.
@#$%^& know exactly where that man is and he up and down the place like nothing happened!! All who was with the killer that night need to be HELDDD and questioned. He ain’t went to the club alone. Misson ayu BVI police is some jokers.
