More bad news.<img src="http://s04.flagcounter.com/mini/kfoW/bg…" style="display:none"><img src="http://s05.flagcounter.com/mini/WUu/bg_…" style="display:none">

If you add the unclassified deaths that will push the homicide rate even higher , Meaning all the additional resources that was pumped into crime fighting (new police cars and equipment, increased work hours for police, urban renewal, defense force officers on the streets) yielded negative results. The bottom line is that murder, for more than 70% of the people who comit this crime, is unpunished. Now imagine what the results will be like for persons who rob, steal cars break into homes or businesses? Even rape. The conviction for person's committing murder (even more than one) is too low and the punishment is not severe enough to be a deterrent.

And Suicide. VAT VAT VAT.

The police need to understand the crime these people are involved in. I think I know more gang names than they do. Do they even have potential victims on their radar or do the just allow the retaliations?

Almost think gladiator matches in the arena for these bredren would be better to settle it.

Do plenty Haitians live in Yellow Elder?

Honestly , the jail in a community is just plain stupid. Don't expand it there.

Dr. Hubert Minnis,

you and Mr. Christie are both missing the point as to what is needed to arrest the crime dilemma. Back in 2009 you withdrew your support from me even though you'd promised me it. In the closet you commended but publicly stood aloft to punching your card in support of my rehabilitation into mainstream society. Within two (2) years from today's date you will be soliciting my support.

That now said but not to lose the point, you and Mr. Christie are wrong to believe that jobs, in the guise of the lack of money, is the pain that aches the hearts of our youths. If I had not held fast to my Faith and believed in myself, I too would have washed up, as well, on the 'shoals of crime'. According to your own words I am clear to say that you, nor Mr. Christie, have the message of HOPE.

In the movie titled 'Shawshank Redemption', Morgan Freeman highlighted it best "Hope is the greatest thing ever". And you, nor Mr. Christie, can ever appreciate this fact. Please give my regards to Pat.

Crime section of Tribune only reports the incident and the court session. What about more details of the incident and profiling the backgrounds of these people afterward. How did they enter? What was their occupation? Do they have kids? What kind of weapon? Updates of whether police suspect motive. Were they acquaintances? Nature of crimes if they had a record? Their clique?

Are they scared to report in depth? I've seen every minor update on the Australian, what about who's killing our boys?

Does anyone have an update on where the guns come from and what is being done to stop them. Most of the murders are committed with guns. The weapons and the ammunition have to get here from outside.

Comrades don't you think the PLP cabinet needs to explain to citizens and residents, how is it they have cut the policeman's enforcement budget but the PM's office budget for 2015/2016 will be increased from three millions to just shy of eight millions? Pray tell me, what exactly is da PM planning to spend taxpayers eight millions on?

Comrades to put the tiny nation of Bahamaland with a population under 400,000, where the 12 months budget of PM Christie was just increased from USD$3 millions to USD$8 millions, let's take a minute to put it in its correct taxpayers funded prospective. You need to know that the Prime Minister of Canada's, far leading some island nation, yearly office budget was just increased to CAD$8.25 millions and Canada has a population of 35 millions people.
Would the PM please explain to the people of the tiny island nation of Bahamaland - what exactly in the hell will he spend USD$8 millions taxpayers monies on?

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY is the amount of murders to expect before December 31, 2015, based on the number of murders that took place in the first five months. Some Eightyseven more families, mostly Bahamian, will feel the cold, chilling sting of death., when someone in their family, more likely a male, is murdered before the end of this year. Wake up Bahamas!

and more than likely the not gang related (cause we can't call it that)...gang related retaliation style murders of our model well mannered children...

Comrade The Madhatter, protests can take many forms and can be effective but to call for a mass boycott against local business is not a protest against government. It will have zero effect or influence over government policy.
I am sure you must realize that in our Bahamaland, it has always rested with the poor black people who are the only one's to turn out to wear the free to shirts to protest, while the whites and black middle classes stay secluded in their homes.
Every major battle ever won, be it worker rights or wage benefits, or major pieces of social legislation that have ever been won in Bahamaland have all come about via the direct and exclusive efforts and sacrifices of the black working poor.
