    Just goes to show you that killers from all over the world are picking Belize as their final destination because they have all heard about this corrupt pm and gov. And they can buy their way into the country judas barrow and his gov. Says come one come all of you murderers to live here just pay up.

    “The two men were romantically involved” it says. This is a new term by US & Canadian police, it’s called “homo-cide” since there is a significantly higher rate of murders among homosexuals than with normal people. This helps to prove that it is a lustful sexual addiction that fuels these “crimes of passion” but then Orozco wants to claim these as a statistic of ‘violence against LGBT.’ It’s actually LGBT against LGBT. And now the guys in Belize? That’s all we need, more imported perverts into the mix!

    This is not the only criminal that may be hiding in Belize. The Belizean (and many other countries also) idolize Americans when they come to our countries. Consequently, it is easy for locals to trust and believe that everyone has the good heart that they portray. In reality, many Americans have been blessed with the “gift f the gab”. Most of what they say is crap. I urge belizeans to ask questions when they meet foreigners and listen carefully to the answers. It is easy to hear bull shit if you listen carefully enough.
    If you need to practice a little – listen to your politicians(both sides). There is a lot of bull shit coming from them.

    It’s a shame that we only comment on the one PM and Gov when in actually all the PM, GOV and Police Force of Belize are corrupt! I am neither UDP nor am I PUP but it is not hard to see.
