Funny how this government is the first one where Ministers are armed and the P.M. is in fear for his life. As far as I know the former P.M. had free reign of the country and even went without protection on occasion. Shady people always seem to be the most paranoid.

Excuse me but how much extra protection can you get?? Didn't they ramp up protection after Brave Davis' house was broken into?

Now we see a grand effort by Perry "Vomit" Christie to stamp out freedom of expression and speech just because his hide is no longer thick enough to withstand the much warranted and well deserved criticism about his many grave failings and failures as PM. No doubt other public figures highly criticized for their incompetence like Bernard Nottage and Allyson Gibson-Maynard are also busy trying to build a "terrorism-styled" case against at least one high profile soul they have targeted for the sole purpose of silencing what they perceive to be offensive and threatening views and opinions posted somewhere on the internet........views and opinions like those posted by many commenters and bloggers to The Tribune's web site. Knowing two of the idiot politicians mentioned here, a Bahamian white male is likely to be wrongfully targeted as someone to be made an example of as they seem to like seeing such individuals in handcuffs on the front pages of our newspapers. Meanwhile these despicable politicians will get to enjoy additional police protection at the our expense while the poor Bahamian taxpayers and others living in the Bahamas today must simply remain vulnerable to the ever escalating violent crime. And the pervasiveness of the violent crime in our country today is directly attributable to the failed policies of the incompetent bungling and dysfunctional politicians who are leading our country down the proverbial ......... yup, you guessed it!

Comrades threats against the PM while they must be taken seriously and investigated and addressed by the policeman's when necessary, there's growing signals where members of this PLP government have an obsession responding to how they deal with perceived threats. The policeman's are trained to know how to distinguish between credible threats and hot air frustrations. They seemed to have shared this viewpoint when they decided that no charges were to be made against an individual's making comments to incite violence. I know it's Bahamaland but still highly unlikely killers go around announcing their intentions in advance. Then again, the
PLP politicians all seems always know best-est, than the people. Too bad the PM didn't call as quickly, for the policeman's investigation to have continued, after they quickly arrested the unpaid BAMSI worker for alleged act arson?

“We have to be careful as leaders,” Mr Christie said, “when we create public opinion that is interpreted by our supporters who might not be as discerning and as disciplined as us. That interpretation could manifest itself in violence being inflicted"

**............................................................ TRANSLATION ........................................................**

If we throw enough poop at the people, it is likely at least some of it will get on us too.

Another translation: "Ruling elite politicians like us must be careful what rhetoric and hog wash we feed our lowly D minus educated and undisciplined supporters lest they become frustrated and aggravated to the point of inflicting violence on someone."

What kind of F..K is this.How convenient for this shit to come up while they are in the hot seat for the bamsi scandal. Absolute distraction.When are we going to be rid of these pirates of the bahamas. Edward Teach would be proud of this crew. He would probably envy because they plunder much more than he ever did.

Pirates had a strict code of honour.

Honour is something this pack no nothing about.

What you mean Harry? You never heard about honour among thieves?LoL.

Exactly.

Can we find one of those MH370 plane and put him and his cabinet onboard.

Wasn't this the same government that criticized Loretta Butler Turner for remaining quiet when threats were made against her? In this day and time nothing is to be taken lightly. There are many disgruntled persons in society and many who have fallen on very hard times. A lot of persons are under the influence of drugs, alcohol and other mind altering substances and are not thinking clearly. Even in the US there have been some very close calls for the president of the United States and his wife is no longer as much in the public as she use to be. She too had some close calls. Many younger persons in the US and other countries have shut down their Facebook accounts because many of these accounts are being monitored for persons who may have contacts with terrorists groups or plans to join ISIS.

At least four of the murders this year proves that persons no longer wants their victim dead. They want to torture them and make them suffer while carrying out the act then still want to destroy and dishonor the body after it is dead.

When a PM leads a Cabinet as corrupt and incompetent as what Perry is doing right now he should be careful of the backlash that is inevitable ................... but Perry is really trying to spin this to place the blame of personal threats against him as the fault of FNM supporters who are "dumb" enough to listen to HAM who is exposing Perry's incompetent Cabinet ............................ reversed psychology 1.0

If these fools were in any other country, they'd already would have been shot, stoned or run out of town....

It does not matter how much extra protection he gets if some is willing to trade there life for his he is done.

The idea of entertaining an assassination of a sitting Bahamian PM is very dangerous ........................ we cannot go down that road. But Perry cannot be insinuating that the FNM is actually fermenting the idea either. That is not the correct political position for a PM to take ......... OR is he trying to pin something that he (Perry) fears on the FNM??????????

Perry Christie has much more to worry about than his life here on earth....one's afterlife if it must be spent you know where can be the most terrible of all things in perpetuity!

Wait for it....*Mr Speaker I move that we postpone all discussion on BAMSI in the House on the grounds of national security. The debate has gotten too hostile and members lives including my own are at risk*

I wouldn't be surprised

DPM Davis mussy in fear for he life too cuz MOW gat all kinda electronic locks an 'ting on their doors now what was never there couple weeks ago. Ya gat to stand in front of the door an get naked to get in. Don't let ya park in front of da building no more neither, to close ta Brave parkin' spot.

His father should have used the protection,then we wouldn't be in this mess we are in today

lol

“I wish I could speak about **something going on personally in my life** as prime minister (but) I don’t want to say (anything) about it now because **it is a matter of national security** and why you see more police around me.”

All I can say to this is, I hope that when the life of an "average" citizen is threatened, it's taken this seriously.

Also, someone please correct me if I am wrong. Doesn't "national security" refer to the well-being of the nation? Not just one individual? Don't get me wrong, threats against anyone should be taken seriously in this day and age, but they're hardly a matter of national security...

Does this also mean there are less police available to help combat the actual murders and other crimes going on in our country?
