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

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.

I don't blame them, that whole project was designed to attract a certain level of young professional. Based on the requirements and the 2 year stipulation to build, the only young professional able to afford access to the properties would have been lawyers, doctors, investment bankers, cpa, and such. It definitely would not have been affordable for teachers, nurses, office administrators and such.
I say revamp the whole project and make it accessible to all levels of young professionals.

Well if his mom and dad were married then he actually isn't a Bahamian. I'm just saying... ya'll love claiming people but don't actually want to give them any real rights. Smdh.

Guess when Shaunae have children, ya'll gonna want to claim them too. #smh

Because ya'll didn't have multiple opportunities to build another hospital. The Healthcare system here as long been overwhelmed, before Covid.
But now cause ya'll chasing votes you want to make promises to do things that should have been done long time.
These governments really have Bahamians for arses. Smh..

Easier said than done... a lot of these guys don't want any regulations and rules. They feel cause their grandpapi and his grandpapi before did it this way and nothing happened, then it's ok.
Sadly that's the mentality that keeps The Bahamas in the dark ages.

Cause they probably know what they are doing. They were diving using compressed air, there are tables for decompression, as well as ascension rates to prevent this type of thing from happening. I hope this shows why we need to regulate the fishing industry. Anyone can be out here with a compressor talking about they diving for fish. Smh

RIP to these two men.

This is exactly why we need a regulating body such as OSHA here. There are too many unsafe practices being done with no one to monitor.

If they had been under a standard, first thing would have been to use a O2 detector to read the O2 levels, secondly once they would have gotten the reading the space would have to be vented the entire time someone was in it, and lastly with an enclosed space continuous monitoring would happen, which includes having someone stationed outside the entry to continue monitoring the air quality.

Smh...a needless and tragic waste of three lives cause as usual anything goes in The Bahamas. Smh...
