“I’ve been here for almost 70 days now after posting bail.”
Is he on the island out on bail? Seems like someone should be able to get him out of there at 3am on a plane or yacht. These pricks suckle the American teat and then act extremist when a guy made an innocent mistake. Fine him and let him go.
......I lived in the Caribbean part of 2012 and all of 2013. I stayed for months at a time on St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. Maarten.
The weapon of choice for the “natives” down there is a machete. An artist, who was an American, got chopped up on St. Croix. He lived about a mile from me. After that, I went to St. Maarten. A couple from South Carolina got chopped up by their own “security” guards. A lady friend of mine got robbed at the point of an AK 47 sitting at a table in a well known beachfront restaurant. Minutes later, a machine gun battle broke out between police and the robbers. Several dead.
Guns are legal to own in the US Virgin Islands but the cops sell your information, including your address, to local gangs who drop by at 3 am and steal your guns if not kill you.
The best thing to do about the Caribbean is stay away. You are playing Russian Roulette when you go there.
