.... But we now are in a position that affects everyone here. Armed men are entering businesses holding locals and tourist alike at gun point.It does not matter whether it is noon or midnight. This is not a one time thing, this is weekly. Or should I say daily.
Old man Duffy, who gave the Mommas and Pappas their break in the Virgin Islands had to close his Chez Shack restaurant the other night because his chef refused to live here longer because of crime. His son Mike lost 2 wonderful people the same day at his restaurant on the Malecon. No one wants to live here in fear.
Al’s Mar Azul was robbed …I will not try to describe what happened inside. Suffice to say 24 people were inside, Al was pistol whipped, bartenders were on their knees as residents and tourists did not know whether they would live or die. They left with about 1k but they had plans for much more. Sawed off shotguns. Think everyone that reads this. A sawed off shotgun pointing in your face?
We need you to help to sign a petition to ask the new Gov to step up to the bat and help us.
I am without words at this point to ask all of you to sign this. Please sign it and send it to everyone in your email list.
If we get enough signatures maybe we will get some relief from this terror.
Please help Vieques.
