move along, nuttin to see here.

just another crooked plp negro, een nuttin new.

agreed. Mr. Minnis, how about some meat on the bone? like back door payments to DPM on Renew Bahamas? I am sure there is stuff around, keep digging.

a Consul is not a Diplomat, unless he has a Diplomatic passport, which he obviously was not able to produce, else the Police Officer would not have arrested him. A Consul is subject to all the rules that you and I are subject to. If he parks his car in Atlanta in the no parking zone, he gets a ticket and needs to pay it.

He is a diplomat. Our Ambassadors and Consuls General enjoy such a status.

ok. didn't know.

Curious, what qualifications does a person need to become a diplomat, ambassador or consul? And if he's in Bimini over the weekend, who's in charge in Atlanta?

you have to be a diehard plp cronie is the main qualification.

diehard fnm , when they are in power, but the fnm dip-lomats are a bit more repectable , and have higher iq.

No particular qualifications sadly; just a person a Prime Minister picks, usually for patronage purposes or to get a troublesome yet influential Party person out of his hair via physical distance.

Comrades what is alleged to have happen here, makes V. Alfred look like a Sunday school affair. Where is the resignation?
As far as - is Randy arrestable even if he had diplomatic status, which he does not have
even when abroad. On Bahamaland soil, yes the rule of arrest law applies. The rules of diplomatic immunity are clearly spelled out in the Vienna Convention. Basically, Bahamaland agrees not to prosecute another country diplomats while they're present in Bahamaland. There is nothing in the treaty that would have prevented the policeman's, from detaining Randy over his alleged behavior towards a policeman's. Yes, we can prosecute all our fully
accredited diplomats" or agents, while they're still on Bahamaland's soil.

he is not a diplomat he is a consul. as you say, status is determined by international treaties. now, if he produced a document showing he was a diplomat, officer would have not been able to arrest him. seems he did not produce a diplomatic passport, hence he was arrested. simple.

Comrade there is no such thing as diplomatic protection from arrest of our own diplomats, if they are on Bahamian soil. Secondly, Randy is NOT an accredited diploma, and yes, he is subject to arrest on, or off, Bahamaland's soil. Him like you and I, or any other native....arrestable.

Diplomatic immunity only applies when you are in a country other than your own. He has no diplomatic immunity here. He must follow the law just like everyone else.

The FNM Fellows should find something constructive to do and stop nit picking, all the time, They will become like the boy who called "wolf" to many times, The Doctor said he has another scandel to release; I trust Dr. Major will not allow him to intrupt the business of the house to do so. I awaite his newest scandal.

agreed, such Freddy Extraordinaire not being able to give a Bahamian applicant for a passport a passport in reasonable time (applying Bahamian time standard here)? I think and I agree that would be the way bigger scandal.

These politicians really need to assess themselves. They are servants. They are nobody special. Certainly if you look at their qualifications you would realize they are nothing special, like a can of corn-beef with a big star sticker on it.

FNM continues to box themselves in, they allowed this man to claim that HE did not cal the PM and he probably didn't. He called SOMEONE ELSE, who **then** may have called the PM. An order was issued which eventually reaches Bimini to let that man go.

Why is the Tribune reporting this as news???

We have too many serious issues going on within our nation to be side-tracked by petty nonsense! Randy Rolle is a person of no consequence and is hardly worth reporting.

UN ambassador from St. Vincent and the Grenadines briefly arrested in New York.
He said he walked to the elevator and the officer ran into the building, "grabbed me by my neck and shoulders, spun me around and said, `Didn't you see me talking to you."'

Gonsalves, the son of St. Vincent's Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, said he replied: "You couldn't have been talking to me."

He said the officer then demanded identification. "I said, `Why? Am I under arrest?' He said, `Well you are now."'

It is nitpicking, but this is serious in and of itself, and this is the bottom of it, the whole damn system is like that. Right up to the PM seat. Dont start the whote westminister system crap, same deal in the UK and a minister would stand down. THE BAHAMAS makes this that corrupt. I aint gonna punish my cousin, brother, 15th removed sister. Give uhm a job on the backs of the rest that didnt think it was a good idea to leave school and go into the civil service.
i would think under the laws of the UK westminister system, nearly all of our mps would be removed and arrested. Stop blaming the white man, chase the people that are bound by these rules that the normal bahamian doesnt know.
