Thought they couldn't rebuild shanty towns in abaco?

Whilst Five+1-evil subsidies Hurricanes, crimes, suicides, and SARS-CoV-2 compete for different degrees of their harmful impact brungs to we out islands, cays, and rocks the colony's ruling 35-House-elected redcoats **member *Directorate**. has been more focused for **whom's chest to be decorated with yet another English colonial award.**
There is also +1 a direct correlation to the unfortunate deaths of that left go medically untreated. **Shakehead** a quick once for upyeahvote, a slow twice for not?

They do as they wish on the lawless island of Abaco. Becoming like the Capital in a slightly different way due to the HUGE migrant population. Crime goes unchecked left, right and centre, as it long has, only now much more pronounced. This Government is useless and the next will only be worse.....

Bringing the "Over The Hill" to the Family Islands.

This government has no balls, this shantytown would not remain standing if I were PM. I couldn't care less about an injunction order issued from some moronic judge, this shantytown would have been bulldozed to the ground. What is she going to make me do, put the tin cans back up?

The whole judiciary branch needs a complete cleansing of political appointees. As a matter of fact, the entire legislative branch needs to be cleansed as well.

I want to see how the Department of Works treats Bahamians who build without work permits on property that they do not own. Good on the Androsians who decided to squat; if the Haitians can live here without paying for land, why should Bahamians?

"*...moved into the neighbourhood...*"

That's a very strange statement. But that aside, we have problems that locking up people in their houses for 6 months non stop so the murder numbers look pretty will not cover up. Condolences to the family, noone's ever prepared to lose a loved one, this young must be a double blow

Seems like while Marvin Dames is at a church service bragging how some crimes are down by 70%, the spirit and crime of murder is hitting the country harder than Corona. Definitely more deaths from murder since November than deaths from Corona. And what is sad is Marvin Dames is being disingenuous. He knows that most of the reductions in crimes is due from the curfews and lockdowns. And yes, the police presence lately on major thoroughfares and hotspots IS effective and IS producing results, Dames seem to have brought nothing new to his artillery to deal with these murders that seem to be a result of gang warfare and retaliation. ALL the tools , including drones, shot spotters, and cameras seem to be response to murder, rather than murder prevention measures. The gangs need to be infiltrated and dismantled. They are a threat to society and even to the economy of this country. Their leaders who continue to lead young men down this path of destruction and almost certain deaths need to be disarmed and taken off the streets. And word on the streets is that some of these newly emerged gang leaders are in their early 20’s. With barely a high school education and with no clue of the damage they are doing to this country. But The Bahamas is not alone in this new surge in crime, murder included. Several cities, even in the USA have seen their murder rate more than double since the corona pandemic. People have gained an insensitivity to death or causing it.

Homicide Spike Hits Most Large U.S. Cities
Journal analysis shows double-digit increases in 36 of 50 biggest cities amid pandemic, though other types of violent crime fell

Should the police form a task force or special unit to deal specifically with gangs and gang activity. Especially murder? It has been out of control for over a decade now and the homicide records reflect it.

What are the people at the new NIA doing? I would have thought doing intelligence on how these guns are ending up in the country and in the hands of these G-average individuals, whose only rationale for dealing with disagreements is to pick up a gun and kill someone, was a priority and a matter of the National Intelligence Agency.

... so basically as the pandemic comes to an end, we are getting back to normal, shanty towns and all!

Proudly biased (and misogynistic). A woman is dead but all we can think about is shanty towns. Why does PROUD HAITIAN ‘Princess’ have to put up with such bigots? Live amongst them, give them money (that part always forgotten - this peanut ain’t nothing we want YOUR riches) in exchange for disrespect?

Explains why tourists and the rich have been going to private islands (not people any decent person would want to know). I have many wonderful memories of the old school Haitians who I called friends and family (they weren’t entitled and showed no thirst for wealth).

Also explains why I can get swindled and not one person can show integrity..
