Bahamian justice and human rights at its finest. Shoot the man,illegally detain him then deport him. If by chance he ever returns they'll probably flog him.
Fred Mitchell and Wayne Munroe, the Bahamas only hope in our quest to rid the country of the Haitian invaders.

Were you there to know that it was not an accidental discharge following the suspects attempt to take the officer's gun? Or are you taking the word of his not so honest, not so law abiding family? How was an illegal immigrant illegally detained? He could not prove legal status then or now.

There is a criminal charge associated with trying to take an officer's gun. In light of the fact no charges was filed, legally, trying to take an officer's gun didn't occur. Thus the opportunity for civil damages. Him leaving the Bahamas doesn't prevent him from seeking damages.

That's not logical reasoning...that did not mean that he did not attempt to take the officer's gun. It simply means because of the numbers of persons willing to break the law for him (the so called 'witnesses'), it could have been determined a hard case to persue. Deporting him and not wasting any more funds involved with a court case was the best decision. If he does continue his civil suit I hope that he is countered sued for agony caused to the officers, plus the cost of housing, rehabilitating and deporting him.

He get shot in the back of the neck...... what kind of disarm move was that???!?!?!

The gun was accidentally discharged, it means he could have been shot anywhere. Thankfully, it was not fatal.

Let us hope he has the good sense never to enter the Bahamas again illegally. It is unfortunate that he was shot. and Haitians should do their part and discourage their people from coming to the Bahamas illegally. and we all know no one will be flogged.

"Magistrate Forbes ruled last Tuesday that there was no evidence to show that Mr Justilien had illegally entered the Bahamas in June as previously alleged."

Don't let the facts get in the way of your automated propaganda Birdie.

There was no evidence, per the magistrate, to verify that he was Mr. Justillien. He was remanded for administrative processing (or something like that). Clearly it was so that his identity and status could be verified. It was and now he's been deported. I hope the other legal matter involves prosecution of those who aided his illegal entry.

Honesman where is the evidence to show that he entered legally? It is important that good old common sense is used. in these matters.

So Birdie, you believe that when some one is arrested for stealing he must give evidence to show that he did not steal?

You say that everyone is guilty till they prove that they are innocent.

You disagree with all the international conventions.

How many BGCSE's did you get? What grade were they?

Be careful be careful how we treat foreigners because we have bahamains all over the world living. If a Bahamain illegal or legal was shot in the U. S. they would have been a rich guy/girl today. So please mr. Immigration officer do your job respectfully but you must have a job to do

Very good point

Rich really? A Bahamian medical student was shot in Connecticut. The officer was cleared of wrong doing because, they determined, of the young man's actions prior to contact with officer. Wasn't this young man also accused of illegally residing, disorderly conduct with officers and resisting arrest which contributed to his non fatal injuries? Clarify the difference for me.

OK ......................... suing the government for unlawful arrest/abuse as an illegal immigrant sounds so moronic .................. so we should treat desperate law-breakers with kid gloves??? Why give law enforcers the right to use justifiable force if you cannot suppress uncontrollables???

What i don't get is why in the minds of many here, there are only two approaches to crime fighting and prevention.

1) Barbaric law enforcement with total disregard for legal conventions and principles of human rights

2) Absolutely no law enforcement.

Anything else, seems incomprehensible to far to many Bahamians

And your point is???????? ......... whats your alternative???? ......... Migration??

The Bahamians who can Migrate out of this out country are, so maybe migration is the answer, although obviously not the migration your thinking of

its funny how some people on these boards believe the government on immigration matters and follow them like sheep. Notably a government that cheats, lies, steals, embezzles wherever and whenever it has an opportunity to do so. And many of the sheep are all up in arms in all other matters involving the government. get real people. My car got stolen, the surveillance tape seized, then the police officer goes on vacation for 4 weeks (sic!). After his return the surveillance tape disappeared. I wonder whether he paid himself for his vacation. This is the reality in the Bahamas. You can not and should not trust anybody in the government. Sad but true.

Fuck the Haitians and Jamaicans and all the rest of them. What about the countless young Bahamian males that are shot and killed by police and no one ever notices. All yall get yall ass from here talking shit like yall care. Look out fer ya own, then come back here. Stop pretending like yall give a shit about human abuse. SMFT!

Look out for your own. The motto of every thug, gangster, dictator, oppressor, imperialist that ever lived. Nice Emac. Congratulations.

Looking out for your own is what you and every Haitian who comments on these pages do. Outside of these pages, it's no different. You may kill each other in Haiti but in The Bahamas you stick together and play the victim game.

The same can be said about you and your homeboy who got deported, Voltaire. Which of the above describes him or you? Or the poor illegals are not a part of the name game? I find it flabbergasting the way you people are so hypocritical about things that are close to your hearts. You are usually the first person to comment on these pages whenever there is some news about Haitian abuse But I can't care about the rights of my own people????? You are a typical Haitian, selfish, possessive and looking for sympathy.
