He can jump on a plane and leave, yes but then what. He sits in another country and wait to buy citizenship and the right to work. You can't just jump in another country and legally start living life as though you came from no where.

As for the Bahamians having children abroad, the only option that gives is to say you are born in the US. Unless your parents are residing in the US and can prove residency then you have no citizenship because you become the nationality of your father. Maybe back in the 90's and such you could do things like that but not with immigration issues being in the forefront the way they are these days.

I was all for a Bahamas Carnival but in light of the current crime situation I wonder now if that is a good idea.

I agree wholeheartedly...enforce the death penalty and start taking even the smallest infraction of the law seriously. You break the law and you are caught expect to face the consequences of your actions. People committing these crimes don't fear any repercussions because first of all if they get caught they know that by the time they tangle up the legal system they won't receive any real punishment for crimes committed.

Start making public examples...if "niggas" want to act like the Bahamas is the wild wild west then treat them as though it is. Hang a few of them up for the others to see...let them know that crime will not be tolerated.

You can't be serious...this is the same Branville Mcartney who lost his brother to murderers. But wait maybe that brother wasn't a wealthy man having to deal with crime...but then again maybe I didn't read the article that said his brother was killed in retaliation for a previous crime where said brother defended himself against criminals.

While you have a point about addressing where crime stems from in terms of reckless breeding, poor education and such...those same people rob and murder folks like Bran. So to say he doesn't have to put up with crime is a crazy statement- if anything because he is wealthy he is one of the prime targets.

If said story is true then then possibly any evidence gained from seized items might not be admissible. It clearly seems the police didn't execute this warrant with any finesse and then to not leave a copy behind...shameful. I hope at least Mr. Cash was able to at least see the warrant because then that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

These police people just do whatever the crap they want under the guise of carrying out Bahamian justice. SMH!!!

It only changes the players because that's what Bahamians want. They don't ask for a game change so all they will continue to get is the same players over and over again. It's up to Bahamians to change the game...

maybe next election not vote at all...force a change.

I agree that if Bahamians stand together they can effect change; however, blocking cruise ship ports and airport only will serve to hurt Bahamians in the future. While you may want to get your point across and make international headlines, that is not a good way to go about it.

Keep in mind that The Bahamas still relies mainly on money generated from tourism, and if that industry is hurt or disabled in any way it will directly impact all Bahamians in a way that we may never recover from. While international press regarding the situation sounds nice, honestly this isn't an international situation. This is a case of Bahamians needing to band together and demand transparency from the government that THEY (the majority) elected.

This isn't like Rwanda or Haiti or even Cuba for that matter where people are being murdered and living in squalor. For all intents and purposes Bahamians are living good compared to other countries.

Apparently and according to Bahamas Press the victim as been identified at Rolley Gibson Jr....and based on this article published in the Tribune 2yrs ago this young man appears to have been no saint.

Of course no one deserves to be murdered and have their body burned, but the saying goes "live by the sword die by the sword" and it seems this young man picked up his sword early and therefore as met an untimely and tragic end as a result.

...let this serve as a lesson to others out there who think crime pays.

I said it once and I'll say it again animal farm.... they are all pigs and therefore are of the same agenda regardless of what political party they affiliate with.

While that may be the case and the government needs to get the roads fixed, I know from firsthand knowledge that people speed on those family island roads cause they have barely any traffic. Especially Cat Island, once you get out past Mount Alvernia it's all pretty much straight open road and you could speed until you get to the area where the seawall is at then it get curvy which further enhances the thrill.

Just saying....
