Run from rain drops. Really! Can you imagine what an chaotic run for cover scene it would have been up in Abaco, if the policeman's had actually been fired upon? Comrades am I to read this as an accurate statement made by Assistant Superintendent Policeman's Barr that those throwing missiles and rocks at his policeman's and works officials; "had ran after reinforcements were called. We have apprehended three so far, but heavy downpours started so officers could not pursue due to rain?" I've heard sea and rescue operations being called off cause of heavy rain but never during the purist of persons for attacking policeman's with missiles, rocks and things.

Deez Bahamians you talking bout...rain is a serious ting

As if we should be surprised, afterall, you are there demolishing their homes!
No matter how small, run down or improperly built,
it is a persons home.
Where are they to go now?
Is the Government putting them up in alternate accommodations, or leaving them to find their own shelter?
Disgraceful really.

@the_oracle- Please all yinna leave go back from whence yinna came,to much trouble in da land right now,yinna jus making tings worse,please go...

The government doesn't provide every bahamian a place to live.
I hope a haitian puts a shack up up in your backyard, you might change your tune...

When I was in the ARMY, we fought hard. Unless it rained.
Then we just retreated, till it became a beautiful day again.

I agree with the sentiment but performed in an orderly manner. It doesn't make sense to me to "act" then have school children attacking police officers. That could have been avoided if managed properly. If you know they're putting up structures at night, hire night watchmen...it takes more than 1hour to put up a house no matter how shoddy. PGC start thinking strategically PLEASE.

Every government to date has ignored illegal activity staring them in the face because the solutions are hard. If you can't do hard things don't run for office because that is what's required, men and women with strength, not weaklings. Lyal Bethel was right, *lets pray that our leaders develop courage and wisdom*. Everyone knows the law of the land and if you enforce it sensibly, noone can fault you.

That community is a slap in the face, a. They're squatting on land that doesn't belong to them b. They're building houses that could never pass building or health codes c. They're populated largely be illegal aliens.

Any of those three conditions should have forced 40yrs of government to address the problem. the fact that it hasn't happened to date means..SOMEONE IS PROFITING OFF THE BACKS OF THESE HARDWORKING PEOPLE, either someone in government or their friend, family or lover. And if it's the police or defence force officers, fire them. It's obvious which officers are assigned to the island, should be equally obvious who's not carrying out their duties.

AND MINISTRY OF WORKS get to work cleaning up Nassau! Take down all the haphazardly erected signs on lamppost, billboards on the beach, signs on street medians, signs on chain link fencing, signs on the side of hills out west (absolutely disgusting), billboards by street lights. TAKE THEM DOWN. they look disgusting. How can you spend millions of dollars to attract people to a dirty place?

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT do something about pedestrians haphazardly crossing the street. It's really getting ridiculous. Grown men and women are crossing in front of cars going 30 miles an hour. That is insane! Little kids are playing red river with traffic, you see them on the side of the road with their little feet inching into the street and you never know if they're going to dash in front of you. I never stop for them (no I'm not cruel, I slow down but I'm not encouraging that bad lesson that they can cross wherever they feel like). Walk to the crosswalk or at minimum don't be crazy trying to cross at an intersection. I saw a crazy woman the other day walking diagonally from the south east point of the intersection by marathon and Robinson road straight over to the mall. What is that??? That's suicide.

Sorry to get off topic

how are we suppose to reach out and help our Haitian brother and sister when we have people behaving like this. Yes, this was their 'home' but if you live in Rome you must do as the Romans do. This is just utter lawlessness..

Start in Nassau too now. Milo Butler Highyway left side going towards carmichael rd, just in back of the government subdivision-High tree Estates. What a shame. Is like they try to hide by leave little bush in front near the highway.

One of the architects of The Mud sits quietly on the Opposition front bench today

Go find him and interview him.............. then see if he has any answers to this social mess in the heart of Marsh Harbour

Its called TREASON

Like I said, the only reason this settlement could have sat in our face for so long..**someone big is profiting**

If I had my way I would ship every living soul out the mud. That's the actions of a judgement "Bully" I never liked people that always push their luck! They are wrong for attacking the police. I have heard so much s##t about "the mud". " Bahamians if you are not prepared to fight for your country you don't deserve to have it".

Can you imagine any foreigners in Haiti throwing missiles at the gendarme ? Those who were
not shot and killed on the spot would be killed later in jail. But this is the Bahamas, a country of
laws, especially for Bahamians! I am getting to the point now ,due to the inability of our successive governments to rein in this Haitian situation, where i am constantly wondering
whether i should learn to sing the national anthem in creole.

If we do not arrest and reduce this Haitian situation, someday when we or our descendants
go to the U.S. and they hear surnames like Ferguson,Johnson, Rolle,Thompson,etc, they
would think we are from Jamaica, because Bahamian surnames do not sound like that.
