ThisisOurs, unfortunately good ideas are wasted on these people.. I have even suggested mandatory 2 years millitary training for males 18-26 that are not working full time or enrolled in school.. The streets are flooded with hopeless young men without purpose.. Some are so far gone we cannot save them. My plan is remove at least 40,000 out of the population with mandatory millitary service. Teach them skills and discipline, feed them, house them, educated them. Give them a purpose of protecting the country. This can also be done with non violent, non sexual offenders. I feel if we can reduced the numbers of young men on the street it can at least buy us some time to focus on things like education and family planning as a permanent solution. However people have to reach a point where they say enough with the free turkey and ham, open there eyes and vote the plp and fnm career politicians out of office (which will never happen). Lastly we have to remove self discriminating law that keep our people economically limited and makes upward mobility only available to those born into certain families, or criminals. I only make this suggestion because i don't see the skills, education or economic enviroment at this time that can provide opportunities for all these young people..

This is a problem with no politcal will or competence to solve at this time. The rule of Law does not exist on any level and the people responsible for taking care of problems have constantly demonstrated poor leadership.. Its like watching a circus full of clowns in front of the media.. Police Commissioner can you do me one favor have traffic Officers run the tags of every Honda Accord, Civic etc on the island as it passes them by.. It sames that in 90% of the crimes the Actors are riding in stolen or unregistered Honda vehicles. Engage them, arrest them, take there weapons all day, everyday.. Wait outside the court for them to make bail, run the tags of the vehicle that picks them up because its probably stolen, lock them up again... 2000 + cops is enough to disrupt criminals on an island 21-7 regardless if the court system is broken.. Reason and logic tells me that If your Officers were engaging and arresting armed criminals at the levels u say you are, the majority of armed dangerous criminals would have died already in Police involved shootings. The problem is many Officers are sitting behind desk working bankers hours and a good majority are just as bad as the criminals.. Lastly if the Government is not going to protect the citizens change the laws and allow them the rights necessary to protect themselves..

F the weed reassign the Cops to catch murders, rappers & robbers...

Murder after Murder after murder, Robbery after Robbery after Robbery...Yet 0 plan... P.M has a plan in his head, keeps it between him and God.. 4000 cops make up RBPF, despite a backwards justice system that's enough Cops to cause drastic reductions in crime just by inconvieniencing a criminal.. I look at the organisational structure and something does not make sense to me, too many people sitting on there ass in desk job with Bankers work hours.. Give me 200 cops and equipment and i can reduce crime in Nassau.. The Criminals are riding around in stolen or unregistered cars, run there plates and stop them, search the cars and arrest them constantly...Everyday, all day, everyday, all day.. As soon as they get out of jail computer check the cars that pick them up and arrest them again, because its probably stolen... Seize there guns, Seize there vehicles disrupt there lives...

The chinese are very clever, they will further leverage our country with tremendous debt and hold everyone hostage especially our corrupt politicians.. To pat242, this is a situation where Bahamian's should be negative and scared, you are dealing with the Great Vampire. Before u know it there will be oil rigs in our water drilling away, there fishing boats mercylessly fishing our seas, they will buy up multitudes of businesses, properties, and with this free visa flow employ there own people. They will slowy squeez out Bahamians and take over. Lastly aside from business, nobody wants to go to China, the air is polluted, the place is over populated and other than historical cultural monuments the Great Vampire has sucked it own land almost dry. Life for the majority of the Chinese population sucks. Working long hours under horrendous working condition with human rights violations at every turn. Living in substandard conditions with poor sanitation and nutrition. I can go on and on..

10,000 fine for anyone caught hiring an illegal immigrant, 10,000 fine and 5 years in prison for anyone caught participating in the trafficking of illegal immigrants.. 10,000 fine for anyone caught housing or hiding an illegal immigrant plus minimum of 2 years in prison...Problem solved.... Lets help the people of Haiti as much as humanely possible, but no more people the boat is full & we have too many social problems to deal with at this time..Check back later when the murder number is at 0-10 for the year. When armed Robbery is down 90%. When Government corruption and incompetance is reduce drastically... Check back when any Bahamian feels comfortable walking all of East Street from end to end at 11:00 p.m. on any night. Check back when people are not terrorfied in there own homes and looking over there shoulder scared in the parking lot of the grocery store..

How much did he make of this deal? Any chinese citizen of means can get a visa and vacation in the Bahamas so this is b.s. The chinese are everywhere looking to distribute there one billion + population around the world that's already flooded with there cheap goods.. If they are not doing this they are finding poor countries to strip of there natural resources to feed there damand for energy and supplies. They care only about money, live in a communist dictatorship and violate every human rights & enviromental law ever created.. And to make matters worse, they enjoy the taste of Dog & Cat meat, People Welcome to the Peoples Republic of China..

ThisisOurs, it would interesting if whoever is responsible is defined in the law & non of them read it before comment..

Stupid story about who's to blame.. Who's in charge, the PM, then DPM... They control the Police and Defense force so they are responsible for the security detail around them. If they thought it was inadequate they could administratively order it changed.. The fact is they never think it will happen to them, he wrote of what happened to his body gaurd as nothing because he was not there and the area he was in.. They think crime is for the peasants..

I have a lot of family who live around that area and in grants town so I was relieved to know that none were at this party.. My condolences to the family of the individual lost in this tragedy.. The Thugs saw this as a direct challenge to them and took action, lets hope these individuals are caught quickly and an example made out of them...
