"“If there was something I didn’t like I would tell him about it. One thing with him, when it comes to his mother, he would tell his mother. If I say I hear certain things, he would say ‘yes I did that’ and ‘this is why I did that.’ He was open with me." RIGHT HERE IS WHERE HE MAY HAVE NEEDED MORE INSIGHTFUL ADVICE THAT URGED RESTRAINT.

@ well_mudda, come on man, no need to comment on Renward Wells or his mom. Leave them out of it. Crime is high and our young men are troubled, many without proper guidance, that should be the discussion. This family's situation just goes to show that crime and its consequences can fall on anyone's doorstep.

So, as far as you're concerned, the answer is as it has always been with all such incidents: Mourn the tragedy, discuss it to death, accept that it could have been anyone in our own family were it not for grace of God, and then do absolutely nothing about it. Would someone graduating from our public education system with an average grade 'A' or 'B' education be less susceptible to engaging in criminal activities and becoming a victim of crime? The answer is of course, yes! Perhaps Renward Wells may now be inclined to press his fellow cabinet ministers to do something meaningful about our failed E- public education system. After all, it's a broken system that more likely than not failed both his mother and his late brother.

No, actually that is not what I was saying. I was saying to you that it was not helpful to speak poorly of the victim's mother and brother. I agree.... our system is broken and our discussion should be about the high crime rate and how to steer our young men away from a lifetime of crime.There are solutions, we all as citizens of this country (i.e, parents, civic leaders, politicians, etc) need to put our best efforts together and find solutions! if we don't, we will continue to spiral down a slippery slope.

The vile nonsense and idiocy you continue to spew on this chat is sickening. And, the sad this is, you wanted to run for public office. smh

Who that is man? Who wanted to run for public office and which office?

See my Face Book page for the posting above that was removed.

Don't know why your earlier comment was removed. It may have been a 'tiny' bit unsympathetic, but it WAS an opinion. Hope we don't go the way of the U.S. and U.K. press. Perhaps it was a 'political order.......

Way of the U.S, or U.K. press please explain ??As far as I know there is still freedom of the press in both countries .Conservative papers ,WSJ , and liberal papers , Huffington post , are still printing unless I missed something .Conservative networks ,Fox and liberal networks ,MSNBC, are still on the air ..

What name your Facebook page in?

What name your Facebook page is under?

Like many populaces, the governing are not be shielded from hurt bullets do.
Was comrade's preacherman's bible too busy thumping about his unsolicited nonsenses Imperialists red shirts propaganda to have red flagged read some scriptures address he brother's own troubling criminally inclined issues, yes, no .... Charity begins at home, yes, no .. good time go back reread number statements he made in his governing capacity - what should be done criminal elements ..... i guess he was blindsided closer home ....

I am sorry to hear of another violent death. May all those who love him find
peace,

We keep whipping the snot out of kids and ingraining in them you solve conflict w force ,,things will only get worse .How come the countries that shun even corporal punishment are the least violent and have the lowest crime rates.In some of them the, Nordic countries, corporal punishment is outlawed .

How come the murder rate has increased five fold after the abolition of capital punishment

I,m not talking about capital punishment , although its been proven it is no deterent to murder .I am talking about beating the snot out of kids .Please don't say the problem is we don't cut kids hip anymore .I see it all the time , usually parents that have lost there temper shouting "if you don stop that I ga cut your ass" then the whupping comes teaching them you solve conflicts w force .

For too long you have allowed them to lull you to sleep with catch phrases like , ‘the victim was known to police ‘, or ‘he had an extensive criminal record ‘, or ‘he was wearing an ankle (monitering) bracelet ‘, or ‘he had been recently released from prison,’ or ‘its just a small group of prolific offenders trying to wreak havoc on the rest of society,’ or even ‘one set of criminals ( bad boys) killing up another (gang wars) nothing to do with the rest of us really, ‘You go on ahead now and carry on smartly with your life and feel safe ‘cause we (police) gat this.’ And now even withe declining number of murders ( which must be acknowledged and can be appreciated, how many of the murders this year, for example, meet any of the criteria above? Truth of the matter is, whilst capital punishment is no longer practiced legally in The Bahamas, execution without trial is. And the executed (victim) is determined by who is meeting out the punishment. And one execution begets another, not unlike a tit for tat game. And so that is the value placed on life in the country and the longer the games go on, the less persons are off limits. No murder should be justified to the point that the perpetrators are not vigorously sought and brought to justice.

The street kills way faster than any court could if we had capital punishment and that does not deter people from commiting murder .For example if you kill a member of another gang there is a good chance they will hunt you down and kill you . If you are an armed robber and continue robbing people and businesses there is a good chance a business owner or the police in a shoot will kill you ,,that does not stop it .Do some research capital punishment does not deter murder and many countries where capital punishment is outlawed have very low murder rates and violent crime rates .

I am positive though that capital punishment stops a convicted murderer of murdering again! And that is good enough for me. Let's start by saving one more life shall we? HANG ALL MURDERERS!!!!

What is more troubling is the number of persons related to our politicians and PEPs who are "known to police" ............ Are they being sheltered, aided and abetted by higher ups and PEPs????????
