Sorry to learn this.

Hanging offense.

It has to be considered if Comrade Don wasn't targeted after completing his ATM.transaction.--- I'd be viewing CCTV footage from the bank to the scene of the shooting. --- Yes?

I told someone out of country that a former MP was killed. That a gunman had tried to rob a group and everybody ran. They asked if he was the only one shot. And a lightbulb went off. He was. Possibly just wrong place, but Dr Minnis said there are cctv cameras around so they may solve this quickly.

Condolences to the family. There's no good time for death, an accident, a crime, sickness, age. Expected, unexpected. It simply doesnt matter.

This is an atrocity beyond my ability to express! When are we going to wake up and take the necessary steps to hold our leaders accountable? There should be massive protest taking place in the Bahamas right now! The very same government that declares our country to be “safe” has proven unable to stem the tide of violence plaguing our nation! Once again murderers and arm robbers are being allowed to freelance and gorge themselves on the blood of innocent law abiding citizens while our so-called leaders stand powerless to help! It’s become increasingly obvious that Bahamians need to negate the laws preventing us from protecting our lives by taking the law into our own hands. Every law abiding citizen of this country needs to arm himself! THE GOVERNMENT HAS PROVEN UNABLE/UNWILLING TO PROTECT US! We need to fight for our right to exist in peace!

Nothing is more dangerous than an angry driver with a loaded gun

Agreed! But isn’t that already the case?
The only people that are not armed are the rational, law-abiding citizens.

Not so. I know of some pretty petty *upstanding* people who dont have guns. I wouldn't want to be in the way of them angry because they cant turn left on red or you take 2seconds to press gas when the light turn green.

Can blame politicians but it's the people that are the problem really. Culturally something is very wrong. I'd bet on many people who are not fit to be having kids in the first place raising criminals, "communities" with no real bonds like in the past, no church presence and young people consuming copious amounts of degenerate influences from social media, music etc.

The US has more guns than citizens proving that arming everyone is no deterrence to crime.
The government has to clamp down on the corruption in this country that feeds and maintains the illicit drug and firearm industries and if this sounds like an oxymoron it is because the current government is so corrupt!
I recall in the waning months years of the last PLP government the crime & corruption rate was so bad they got drummed out of office.

When it comes to violent crime, the US is generally much safer than Nassau. The Bahamas has a murder rate comparable to the worst places for this stat in the US, like Chicago. It would be even safer in the US if Democrats weren't soft on crime in their cities and didn't allow criminals to run rampant. All gun laws do is keep guns out of the hands of law abiding people, since criminals don't obey the law anyway. That said, is Bahamian bureaucracy capable of the due diligence needed to take place before giving someone a firearm? Nope.

Why do we keep looking at the results, thinking they are the reason?
This latest murder is a culmination of decades of social rot.
It starts at the head, and then the rest of the body rots.
From local government to central government, the culture of criminality is the same.
Dishonesty, theft, nepotism, pay to play, slack employees, contracts for the political darlings.
This administration is among the worst.
The Bahamian people vote for these results time and time again.
Maybe this is the best we have to offer in politicians, our so-called "leaders":.
Maybe there really is no alternative, within our borders.
Is the clergy any better?
Wonder why our schools are failing?
Since adults seem to care so little for education, why would we expect a different future?
We keep forgetting the maxim, "If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose."
So long as our country continues to place the national economic burden, the result of a corrupt ruling class, firmly on the backs of the working class and poor, we should expect things to get worse.
Nobody likes to talk about economic inequality, but the truth is out there folks.
Now, let's go back to our phones and computers.

Porcupine has a point! (Pun intended)

@Porcupine, spot on. I said in a previous post in the Bahamas,you need trained psychologists.You also need sociologists who could study and explain the root causes of crime and other anti social behaviour in this country.
