  4. itwasn'tme says:

    she either gives up her buddies or gets 6 years no payroll

  5. Whoyafoolin says:

    Shame on her! She likes women’s handbags but would rather steal one than buy one and likes hanging with guys. Interesting! Since she wants to act like a thug, treat her like one and have no mercy on her!

  6. This is just the beginning my people. Prepare yourselves.

  7. pathetic says:

    im disgusted…..i dare someone try to snatch my bag in public….my heels will be off ans i will run after you.

  8. Shell says:

    Just shaking my head reading this. How sad this female lowered herself to this. You know she will face this alone as she doesn’t want to be labeled a ‘snitch’. Very sad.

  9. Tickled Pink (and Blue) says:

    Social Inquiry Report as obviously she has problems. Slap on de wrist. Lay low 4 a while N do it again. Poor soul !!!

  10. Big D says:

    Lock her up and throw away the key.

    • Think about it says:

      I was just going to say that! Lol. Yup, put her under the jail if anything. The thing I notice now days is that the girls/women that hang out in these circles are more aggressive and likely to assualt someone than the boys/men are. I don’t know if it’s because they are female and feel they need to impress the men or what, but it’s ridiculous.

  11. LOL (original) says:

    Seeing the responses here make me think of the three strikes you’re out policy from 2007 wonder if legislation like that would be a deterrent……………..

    LOL

    • Think about it says:

      The only difference is, if they have it here instead of having three prison sentences and the last being the final and longest, Bermuda would have three warnings and then you get 5 years Lol

  12. United says:

    I have an idea, with the stockade at St. George’s, why not lock some people up in there for three, four days and as in years gone by have people ridicule and toss rotten vegetables at them? Bermuda, get serious with these thugs NOW. I believe that nothing brings a thug to reality as a little humiliation in front of his peeps.

  13. OMG says:

    I would say how would she feel if someone stole her purse but by the sounds of it she dont carry one. She hanging out with 4 men at 2:30 in the morning. Either she a twirker or she a tomboy. You know it’s bad when a woman steals another womans purse. Sad day.
