“Mr. Rodney refused to tell Tribune Business what specifically his concerns are.”
Hahaha ... the last sentence in the story speaks volumes: The guy won’t even say what his problem is? Do I recall that this has something to do with the parking lot across the street? Mr. Rodney wants the press and public all up in arms, but cannot explain his issue?
I’m not normally one to defend Dionisio D’Aguilar, but ... oh, please. Dude, get a grip.
You are correct ... enforcing different standards to/from different locales makes no sense whatsoever. A virus does not know or care whether you’re a Bahamian, an American, a Canadian, etc. This is just one more example of dumb, dumber and dumbest.
This story has been up for 4 days now. Damn, how do ya get a job like The Tribune staff? Where you can check out and pretend that 4 days go by with nuttin’ happenin’ across the nation?
Agreed! It is frightening that a senior police offical can have a pastor taken into police custody and/or arrested on the basis of something he said, no matter how insulting or erroneous it might be. That’s some scary Third World shyte right there.
Note the use of the words and phrases, “the theory is ...”, and “presumably” and “could be.” In Britain, the Bahamas, the U.S. and other nations whose laws evolved from the British system, libel and slander remain civil issues. There are no federal criminal sanctions — i.e., criminal conviction, jail term, etc. — for cases of libel/slander. In the U.S. there are some states that have criminal libel on the books, but it’s localized, rarely if ever enforced, and generally would involve a violation of a court order, which is not the situation here.

... and that has what exactly to do with Covid vaccinations, which are entirely voluntary? You get weirder and weirder every day. Seriously, get help.

I read about da Gama 50 years ago and I have been through the Suez Canal. It’s not what The Tribune is for.

I always turn to The Tribune for news about Vasco da Gama and the Suez Canal. Yes, that’s what I do.

Bzzzzt ... wrong. Libel and slander are civil issues, not criminal-law issues. There are no criminal sanctions for libel and slander.
