    Why don’t they go rob banks and the two major supermarkets on the island all the bad man them be. Them little peanut change they collecting here and there can’t maintain themselves and their women, even them liming friends. Why not hit it big at the banks? I am sure people in the society knowns who these robbers are and they are keeping silent. Young men stop stealing from people and go look hard work to do, even being entrepreneurs selling water as a starter at street corners. Then later you can add sodas, then beers and then small snacks. Most of these small businesses started out that way. You all need to stop let Satan use you to destroy mankind and society as a whole.
