Wayne Munroe always dramatic and extra. This was not a good role for him to be appointed to.

He is right though.

The PLP Election machine swings into action, as it has for every election, stirring up the racial differences in our country to try and garrner votes. SIGH...

And who supplied this man with the bullet proof vest that he was wearing? Only police and cabinet ministers have them.

So a PLP cabinet minister gave a bullet proof vest to the gentleman? LOL

He had no right to touch that statue so he can pay to fix it back as it was. Bottom line

He is wrong for vandalizing the statue. But, the person the statue represents was responsible for the slaughter and extinction of an entire people. Should we honor rape, murder, enslavement and genocide? I see your argument is yes.

This is a red-herring argument. One has nothing to do with the other.

i fail to see how breaking up a statue benefits anyone or anything? Like that vandalism is going to erase the history of what actually happened? better idea is to post a placard next to the statue with a short history lesson so that it does not get repeated as history so often does.

If you place a placard next to the statue there's a chance for atrocities to be committed next to the statue and the placard. Humanity knows no limit to their savagery.

He should pay the cost of a new statue. Punishment is a very good deterrent, otherwise, he will do what his emotions tell him to do , again. You cannot live by emotions.

But hey, the voter’s speak and the government still do not listen….. look at the referendum vote to shut the numbers guys down. The plp discarded our votes and still got into power. Imagine if a Donald Trump did what the plp did….. he would be in jail. Yet, us backward people let politicians do anything to us , and we have all the opinions about American Politics. What about our politics and our politicians.

What purpose is served by that piece of plaster? Remove it and exonerate the young man for the misdemeanor.

I agree, and all white people in the Bahamas should be expelled back to England where they belong. Maybe the Governor General can consult with the King to enable this? Even under successive black governments you can still see white people out well after midnight with pickaxes digging up potholes in our roads. It's crazy to let that continue.

Backwards people to hell with that nonsense
The numbers business will be shut down when people of their own free will stop buying numbers.

This is so foolish. He didn't damage the statue in any sort of protest or moral act, he did it because he needs mental help. It just happened to be a Columbus statue he took the sledge hammer to.

Randol Fawkes would've been THE first but wouldn't stood alone in reminding the Learned Comrade "WM." --- Twas the common mans' and womans' who had elected them back in 1967/68. -- That demographic IS now...shunned and mocked. -- So have their voting patterns **continuously shifted significantly.** --- So much so even back then 57/58 years ago when it resulted in power wins when they for the very first time "*bravely** showed up alone at Polling Stations **without their ever watchful Bossmans** overseeing them openly marking their **UBP Xs'.* ---- Yes?

Now I don't often agree with Munroe's opinions a lot, but he is correct in saying that this guy actions should be punished.

You can't destroy national/historical monuments just because they hurt your feelings or because they are associated with colonialism. If you want it gone file a petition or protest, not be some vandal.

**This entire countries History, Society, and Culture is associated with our Colonial Past**.
If we are going to break up a statue for showing Columbus, are we going to rename Shirley Street, Stapledon, and Matthew Town because they share their name with Royal Governors?

What about the Dundas or Gregory Town, or Dowdeswell St?

The funnier thing about it is it was put there by fmr slaves. Furthermore, just because homeboy have a statue doesn't mean everyone thinks he's great lol. He isn't a Marcus Garvey, that statue was doing literally nothing to him.

@ComradeFltyfishies, let "WM" **the Englishs' awarded** King's Counsel KC brung his stupid Columbus discussions on....Like in the way we accepted how the Dundas Civic Center came by its name regarding the abolition of slavery are as much a subject of debate and criticism....Yes?

NEVER! Prosecute and imprison for destruction of historical and a historical preservation of our National Heritage and Pride. Restore and replace.

@ComradeTruBlu, upon whose recommendation we are to prosecute so as to protect what historic preservation(s)? --- Maybe you has a prefered list --- Yes?

I don't fully understand the point here. He has a mental issue. So, that's the baseline of the problem. He needs help. On the question of states, monuments, naming of streets, etc we should not hold ourselves to keeping them. As a black nation that was discovered by Indians who were raped, killed and turned into slaves, we should not honor a man that is the very symbol of such horrific acts especially given our history which is stained by thre same acts.

As stated above the person who committed the act of vandalism has a mental health problem. He doesn't need a pardon. He needs psychiatric care. There are provisions in the law that recognizes this issue.

We need to also check history as facts dispute what we are teaching kids. We were told for years Columbus discovered the Bahamas. You can't discover a country when you find other people there. Also, he accidentally got here. He had no clue where he was yet Africans for a century or more knew the route. But, we celebrate European ignorance and savagery as a great achievement.

Political drivel. Lock him up.
