Does the film show the pigs crapping in the water while you swim with them? Does it show the pigs biting tourists who are too slow with food handouts? Does it show the tourists who were killed, burned and maimed when a tour operator’s boat exploded? Does anybody else think this is horrible?
@John ... OK, so we’ve gone from the CIA targeting hair-braiders on Arawak Cay last week to the CIA burning down a Jamaican retirement home full of old blind women 40 years ago. Uh ... OK. I dunno what book you’re reading, you haven’t mentioned the title, but I’m curious if it also exposes the CIA’s involvement in Chernobyl, aids, mrsa, measles and the nightmare of psoriasis.
Uh ... yeah. So the CIA wants to foment crime and death and disturbance in Nassau ... why? To make it less safe for millions of U.S. tourists? And to do this, they’re targeting the hair braiders on Arawak Cay?
Sounds to me like somebody’s hair got braided just a bit too tight.
Just a friendly debate, Mudda, and I respect your views ... but there is some *serious* question here about what sort of threat this officer actually faced and whether he had “put his life on the line” at all. There’s no indication that the guy he shot was even near him, and he wasn’t armed. The officer seems to be alive. The other guy is not. Maybe someday *all* the facts will come out, but the only living witness is ... the officer. So ... that’s it. Maybe we oughta hire cops who don’t frighten so easily.
I have owned firearms my entire adult life and have two (retired) police officers in my family. They will be the first to tell you that some of the guys they worked with should never have been allowed anywhere a loaded weapon.
Mudda, you make the mistake of assuming that every guy who has been issued a badge and a gun is highly-trained, highly-skilled, intelligent, efficient and emotionally stable. That’s a bad bet, bro.
... OK ... so he started swearing and turned around ... and the reservist shot him?
Here’s the thing: Any person on the street at any time “might have a gun, for all the officer knew.” It sounds as if we’re leaning to an argument that the police have a right to shoot anybody they care to because they “might have a gun, for all the officer knew.”

Good luck with that.

@Birdie ... he shot across the street? At a guy brandishing a screwdriver?
