Guess what Chicago has that Vermont doesn't?
A bumper crop of criminals.
Exactly!
The US Virgin Islands, that’s right “U.S.”..................has a murder rate of 42 per 100,000 which is many times anywhere in the U.S. This murder rate makes USVI #8 in the world ahead of #9 South Africa. So, even D.C. has a long way to go to meet that.
The issues there are woven into the culture to be sure. Jumping to the end of a long story, this FACT means they can’t fix it. The cops are all related to non cops including prosecutors and judges so you can commit a gun related crime “if your the right skin color” and get away with it. You will be out on bond to a straight faced judge (relative) before the sun goes down.
You can own a gun if your white but then the cops reportedly sell the information about you and your guns to the highest bidder on the street.
The “process” in terms of paperwork to own and maintain a gun in USVI is, most think, just not worth it and arguably puts you in more danger. Then, if a black guy broke in your place and you shot him, you better own a private plane or a fast motor boat because you won’t be getting out of a horrible prison quickly. After more than a year of shootouts and robberies of friends, in the USVI and St. Maarten, I moved back to Texas.
