This is actually quite sad................. We wonder why our country is going to hell........... Look how the people who are running it act............

Ummm, I'm willing to bet that that is not all what Rollins said. People have a habit of trying to pretty up something when they do wrong.

He said ......she said................
But they all do nothing.

Andre you should have listened the first time.....if a woman says get your hands off of me...DO IT! Very simple!!!

I would have slapped him too if I'd told him to move his arm. I have no tolerance for violations of my personal space.

It is regrettable that it happened the way it did, but is anyone TRULY surprised?

It's ridiculous that we expect our children to be respectful in school, but our leaders give them no good examples to follow.

Slap him down again!!!

I think equally as disturbing is the fact this government is now into its second year of being in office and still seems to be stuck reliving the past five years.
Get over it already...........you are the government now..............focus on the issues......not on trying to make yourself look good by attacking what others may or may not have done.

The Brokeback MP for Fort Charlotte don't know when to STOP making a fool of himself.

:-) broke back MP...what dat mean again?:-))

Why is Butler-Turner always involved in these events in the house? Rollins was wrong to approach her and should have leave it be. But besides that, all these big blow ups in the house seem to involve LBT. Its one thing to be aggressive on the issues that we face as a nation, its another to be personally agressive towards each other. The whole lot of them need to just stay away from politics. We've been recycling politicians over and over again for the past 20+ years. Sick of the FNM. Sick of the PLP

Lets start a new Party with new leaders who have not bin around since 1970's or have family ties with politicians and never vote either group again and really make a difference.

As i travel around you hear how persons truly feel about their government or those in charge and It is clear that the Bahamian people believe that they all are hypocrites and have failed the Bahamas time after time.

We should celebrate this independence develop a plan that will work become unified as one party and people with out the politics from the DNA, PLP, and FNM or the christian council.

Lets come togeter as Bahamians and address the real issues of this country, education, economy job creation they all campaigned that they resolve the issue but they are fighting and not helping the people

Rollins should have listened to Melanie Griffins. She told him not to approach Loretta Butler -Turner but he did. Not only did he approach her but he put his arms around her. Turner told him to take his hands off her and he didn't. She told him again and he still didn't. so he got a slap that stung like a bee..any more questions

Nope. That just about does it

There's a couple of them I'd like to slap too!

She should now take out a restraining order against him. He has already made his contribution with his ' I am man, hear me roar' speech, or is it woman...

sounds like a gal ,

On behalf of all *gals*, I am offended :)

good one ,lol

It never ceases to amaze me how sexist and double standard we are as a society. Listen i don't care if she is a female. Her resort to violence is a disgrace as both MP and a Deputy Leader and should be reprimanded accordingly. If this had been Dr. Rollins doing the slapping i probably couldn't even get in on this post because of the women screaming how wrong he is...so Spare me the BS. Loretta could have handle that in a far more Dignified and CIVIL manner as someone in her position. If the leaders are resorting to violence what the hell can they say to the young people especially are young men who are resorting to violence on an almost daily basis.....lets get it together and stop the nonsense...

You are right on point, they both should have acted in a more dignified manner. I don't know about the tables being turned though...there's something in humankind the world over, that sees something obscenely wrong with a man hitting a woman.

We need to somehow get a team of professionals leading this country...

Our

Didn't the speaker tell these people that they were acting like children? Didn't the bible tell us this would happen: thinking of Isaiah 3:4, which reads: "And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them."

You have to tell us what the people did to deserve the judgement

step right up folks ,put ya money down ,we gats us an ole fashion fight in da henhouse ..lol

Whether she is right or wrong in slapping him putting your hands on a female is cause to be subjected to sexual harrassment charges if continued. He was right to walk away. He had no choice. He knows he was wrong. All of you need to grow up and stop acting like fools.

This was probably a staged act by both parties to change the subject away from the likely horrible conditions at both childrens' home - and instead talk about who's badd.

Nobody gets blamed for the real problems. Let's give the people something to else to talk about.

Andre Rollins instead of acting like the village idiot, do something positive for the people of Fort Charlotte who mistakenly elected you. Those who seek public office should be thoroughly vetted by leaders who seek to offer them as representatives. Not knowing exactly what you said to Mrs Butler- Turner if it was anything like the way you represent Fort Charlotte then I Am CERTAIN YOU DESERVE A KICK AND A SLAP!

They need to apologise to each other now like civilized people do and get on with the people's work. This is garbage...what Bill are they debating again? Moving right alonggggg... The people in the country and hurting and need relief.... enough of this. Get back to business...

I suppose you are right...I just shudder to think that we expect them to handle our business any better...I am tired of lawyers and trade unionists, they've done a mess of a job so far...(I apologize to all intelligent professional lawyers and trade unionists)

She should press charges against him. Too many men feel like if they want to touch a woman she should let him. She does not have the right to resist him. Fortunately for her a slap made him stop other women and girls suffer through this experience.
