    This is what Belize needs to worry about, the rate of murder, the amount of them that walks free, the child molesters that also walks the street preying on our young kids, and dont ask about the pedophiles disguised as priests!!! We are in the state we are in because we cannot see the forest for the trees..but we will raise hell and high water for a bunch of people that just want to live their lives in peace, they are not the ones committing any murder or raping our children of their innocents..wake up Belize!!!
