Maybe the Tribune or someone else with the proper details can give us a run down in 2016, of how many people murdered were in fact out on bail, and how many murdered had ankle bracelets on...police are not policing...they are letting the riff-raff weed themselves out through street justice.

You want to be safe in Nassau, hang out at McDonald's, guaranteed ten lazy fat ass cops will be there.

Instead of complaining about the job the police are doing ,talk about the family and friends of tthe criminals who r running rampant on the streets and not reporting or turning them in .so instead of being apart of the problem be a part of the solution. See something say something

Say something to you cop, o.k., lose weight, patrol where we don't see you now, and give us our moneys worth. I can smell a pig three hundred feet away, but a lazy fat ass cop as yourself, I can smell you 5,000 miles away.

If u truly want to help go and join the ranks of the royal Bahamas police force ,walk in there shoes before u judge

Join the corruption of the PLP and the bought and paid RBPF, you must be smoking or sniffing the drugs you claim from the criminals. You catch them, put them in jail, and than you divide the drugs amongst yourselves to do or sell. Who the f**k do you think your fooling, living the Kings life while the drug dealer does time and you keep the drugs; go f**k yourself pig!.

"Excellent Job" my ass----Tell that to the five people murdered already!

And what's your point they died by the life they lived tell the family members to turn them in and stop condoning what they do . And as for the five people that died if no innocent bystanders got hurt let the rest of them rot in hell

If the RBPF and the PLP government put me in the position these young men are in now to survive because of them, I would be ten times worst than them; I would genocide your ass!

I got corrupt Bahamian pigs up my ass now, coming out of the wood works to welcome me to the best f**king newspaper in the Bahamas; TRIBUNE242 MF-er!. One thing you need to remember Bahamian pig, I've dealt with the best the USA has to offer, your child's play to me.

You MF-ers have really pissed me off now, if I don't see you doing your job, see you patrolling everywhere, I will make this website your worst f-ing nightmare! I will have friends secretly video tape you when your f-ing off. Hanging out doing shit, filling your fat f-ing asses at McDonald's, or being where your not supposed to be! Your going to do your f-ing job or your going to lose your f-ing job, taxes up our ass, mark my words, your going to do your f-ing job or photos of your laziness will be posted on this website and many more; you listening to me you MF-ing pig!?

i thought you emigrated to hawaaii to be happy

but scorned woman has no hath no fury like you.

I had a reply for you ondrap4, but it looks like Tribune242 is protecting my a$$, thank you Tribune242 for protecting my ass from this f-ing a$$hole.

They say crime has gotten so bad and so out of control in Chicago because corruption rocks that city to it's very core. So how deep does corruption run in this country? Who is benefiting from crime? Who is being protected? Why are guns still so readily available on the streets of New Providence and Grand Bahama? Many of the young criminals involved in shootings have never travelled outside the Bahamas so where are they getting guns? Solve the gun (smuggling) problem, solve the crime problem. There are thousands of licensed shotguns and rifles in this country. Yet any are hardly used in crime. Houston we have a problem. A big one!

Well...you do have one of the most corrupt, criminal drug 'defense' lawyers as a DPM who profited EXTREMELY well defending druggies and thugs...

"Who is benefiting from crime? " This is a great question. Who would benefit from the prison being full? This is also an issue in the US. Full prisons usually mean big money for people with private interest. Who supplies the prisons with clothes, food and other materials. We know that conflict of interest is rampant.

The issue could also be that the investigation unit is just that bad in gathering evidence against these criminals. Friends that have served on jury duty always speak of how poorly the police build evidence.No legitimate forensic labs and poorly trained investigators.

Likely it's a heavy blend of the two.

The PLP, John, now what is my prize for answering your easy question? Is it so hard for you to believe, you have no clue the evil men can do. Answer my question now John, because I still can't answer it or believe it. Why did DPM Brave "Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich" Davis let the thieves that robbed him go without any convictions, and why wasn't he hurt or killed like the rest of the people who have been robbed? I do know the answer John, but I still can't believe it. Didn't Jesus once say "Satan won't cast out Satan"?

Relax everyone, take a deep breath, nothing to worry about. The good commissioner said crime is down 26%. It appears no one believes him.

The good police do the best they can. Reality is extra cars are only part of the solution. The entire system is broken and the government is powerless to fix any of it. Too much corruption and too many personal get rich quick agendas in cabinet.

10 men are dead already in the first 17 days of the year. 10. One in the Grove tonight. Will ask mum if she noticed any increased patrols. Plenty on Bay Street though.

Must have been about 50-60 police lining Baystreet when I passed down that way on Saturday night. Government aren't complete fools...they know the country has gone to sh|+...time to beef up security around the tourists so they don't take the crap public in the mainstream global media.

PLP protecting their best interest, themselves. As long as the tourist money keeps rolling in for them the rest of the Bahamas can go to the $hithouse for all they care. And if you think the mainstream global media doesn't know about the crime wave destroying the Bahamas, go ask James Walker Maritime Attorney in Miami. He's spreading the word from North to South in the USA, I even heard him on a Boston radio station talking about the crime in the Bahamas. Until you do something about the crime, you can have ten Baha Mar's and it wont make a difference.
