    Sigh 😕 Sometimes it’s just sad because we need protection …the police isn’t protecting us …..we can’t get a licensed fire arm because a gun license alone cost a car money. It’s just sad

    My best advice is to follow the law because you just might be one of the unlucky ones. It’s just like driving, you not legal, you’re caught, you in trouble. You damage some body you in worsera trouble

    SKINOUT: This liar or socalled badman who appears to be Antigua’s most popular got shot in the face or graze by a bullet in 2018 at viper strip club. Yes he’s a great person and that club is a really good place to visit ladies and gentlemen. But look I’m not here to judge, just hope your mangoose doesn’t get cooked…
