Tommymusic: I can remember as an 11 year old when a group of officers rolled up on us and slapped us around for hanging on the block...what world are u living in.... RBPF is part of the problem and a reformed department is part of the solution.. I say this as a person who has 12 years on the job as a police officer..

The best business decision for the church and school is to re-enstate graduation lets move on

rontom: legally you are right.. in those regards all churches should get out of the business of education.. But based on your argument if I impose rules and discipline on my kids at home, I must first consider there legal rights, we don't own our kids and they do have rights.. if u hit your kid with a belt are u now guilty of assault or if u ground your kid are u now guilty of kidnapping...Now do you see what road we are heading down.. in any event regardless of outcome or opinion I respect the respectful nature of the discussion..

My heart and prayers go out to this child and family..its extremely difficult to except on any level harm coming to anyone especially children, but we dont want to take the focus of these dangerous individuals and make it about guns.. the question should be why do we have all these dangerous individuals with multiple convictions running free, and how did they come into possession of a dangerous firearm..

Guns don't kill people criminals kill people...guns, knifes etc are just tools... anything can be used as a weapon... Guns in the hands of criminals and irresponsible or mentally unstable people is the problem..Thisours, I agree someone is getting rich of illegal guns & I want it to stop.. I would also like to see an audit of the RBPF evidence room for any missing weapons.. I would not be suprized if confiscated weapons are being resold by someone inside..

RBPF stop using primative investigative methods, such nonsense to be reading... Criminals are just going to walk out of court free and what does society get another criminal back on the street because of your selfish brutality and unprofessionalism..

Rontom/tal..the problem I have with all of this is the matter is not being address from a perspective of education.. discipline and forgiveness is a part of educating young people.. if u guys said these students sent a letter of apology to the school & the bishop for there conduct & asked for forgiveness, I would say they've accepted responsibility and learned from the situation.. Lets all pray about this give them a ceremony and lets move on.. But this sense of entitlement regardless of actions, troubles me.. I am beyond the X & Os of legalities and money but more interested in educating the young people.. Young people from SJC ask the church and school for forgiveness without parents and lawyers and ask hummbly for re-instatement of your ceremony... if the church reject that then issue should be with the church, because of conflict with religious teachings..

That incident with his body gaurd gave him a reality check, my ass is vunerable too.. He got to taste the fear, pain, worry & frustration the average bahamian deals with daily when it comes to crime.

From Tals perspective 90% of the politicians and Pastors would be in Jail, not to mention many disgraceful business people..

Good point
