Which is why there needs to be parameters for being placed on the list. Placing any and every sexual deviant on the list isn't what is needed, so what if you enjoy sex in public that's no reason to be on the list, but enjoying sex with children is. So it is up to the magistrate to use sound reasoning and judgment when determining who to place on the registry.

All he did was make the grocery store bill higher for those who can barely afford it now. Some folks were barely getting by on VAT free breadbasket items, now you want to add a 10% increase. So the $20 they were scrapping to buy tuna, sardines, bread etc will now be unable to stretch as it did before.
Meanwhile the folks who weren't even buying VAT free breadbasket items that often get a 2% decrease (eg. I buy canned tuna to feed my dogs). Someone help me understand where this is helping out the poor people in our country.

Of course the demand for vaccines have increased. The USA is making it mandatory for all foreign visitors to be vaccinated, which means Bahamians will now look to be vaccinated so they can travel in time for Christmas. Smdh...

Kml.... they don't know what investigative journalism is here in The Bahamas. Just half arsed articles that lead to nowhere.

I wish they'd do like the USA and let the voting population determine who will be the next candidate to run for the party. I think they might have a better chance at getting someone that the people will support. #ijs

A classic case of speaking on something you know nothing about. Mrs. Davis should be ashamed, as educated as she is purported to be, she should have done research on the office before making condemning comments.
But as usual everything is politically motivated in this country, and she made her initial comments in an effort to belittle what Mrs. Minnis was doing without having done any research.
Now that's she's in the position, suddenly she can see the use of having the office "based on technical advice". Smdh...we really need to stop this kind of bullcrap in this country. Stop tearing down things just because it's not your idea, or not from your political party.

Case and point the man who destroyed the Columbus statue today, obviously suffering from mental health issues. But most likely will be charged and locked up without receiving any evaluation or help. Sad sad...smh

BahamaRed says...

So no one can tell this man appears to have a psychiatric problem? Some of the video footage I saw had him dry humping the ground and making distasteful comments that were obviously inappropriate and unwarranted given the situation.
I hope he is able to get the psychiatric help he needs as opposed to just being locked up without ever being evaluated and receiving help.

I often wonder how many of these police officers who carry weapons are trained in how to de-escalate a situation. There have been a lot of police officer involved shootings and when you hear the details the suspect is either unarmed or not armed enough to warrant the level of force used.
Are the officers equipped with tazers? This could have been a possible incident where a tazer could have been better utilized as opposed to a gun.
And again I stress the ability to reason with a suspect and to talk them down is also key in these kinds of situations.
I wasn't there, but I hope shooting the young man was the last ditch effort to prevent him from hurting the mother.

Let's start by bringing minimum wage up to at least $7 per hour. Then we can look at a tiered tax system instead of just dumping on everyone.
