Stay classy BDA…
Long green pants……oh no…
Such a shame. And very late for her to be out alone especially now in theses times where living in. I hope she’s ok.
This is getting ridiculous people are going to start taking matters into their own hands. No one feels safe anymore, it will only get worse before it gets better. Thank goodness she wasn’t hurt. Pray for this island because things are just going down hill…..
