The latter would be most effective, and most humane.

How about we just admit that religion and these "churches" are all a farce, used to control people and accumulate wealth. Makes it much easier to deal with situations like this.

> I know there is a sector of our society that are saying to themselves – and perhaps to those around them - ‘good riddance, let these thugs and criminals kill each other off.’ But such a view is cold to the fact that each one of these are human lives; someone’s son, brother, father, uncle or friend and a soul that God loves.

Yup. They've demonstrated that they are incapable of living within a society. They need to be removed from society. If God loves them so much, he can love them after they've left this Earth.

This is a sad, sad day.

How about you just arrest, or even better, execute the gang leaders? How did we get to a point that we're negotiating with the terrorists?

Yes, but they operate a 777-200. That is an aircraft that is twice as wide, twice as long, and five times the weight of Bahamasair's equipment. It can handle rougher weather.

Perhaps it is time to throw in the towel. Admit that they have absolutely no idea what they are doing, and are completely unable to provide the basic service they are tasked with. Let a private company with non-union employees come in and do a proper job.

Because BA's planes are way bigger, and they are flying a different route. This isn't rocket science.

Only criminals are allowed to have guns.

Crooks gonna crook.
