Porcupine has a point! (Pun intended)

Agreed! But isn’t that already the case?
The only people that are not armed are the rational, law-abiding citizens.

This is an atrocity beyond my ability to express! When are we going to wake up and take the necessary steps to hold our leaders accountable? There should be massive protest taking place in the Bahamas right now! The very same government that declares our country to be “safe” has proven unable to stem the tide of violence plaguing our nation! Once again murderers and arm robbers are being allowed to freelance and gorge themselves on the blood of innocent law abiding citizens while our so-called leaders stand powerless to help! It’s become increasingly obvious that Bahamians need to negate the laws preventing us from protecting our lives by taking the law into our own hands. Every law abiding citizen of this country needs to arm himself! the government has proven unable/unwilling to protect us! We need to fight for our right to exist in peace!

Agreed.

“We don’t have any feasible solutions to crime, so let’s just blame the people. They’re stupid enough to vote for me, so they’re stupid enough to bear the weight of responsibility” Smh.

A criminal defense attorney as national security minister! Can you say “oxymoron”? Not to mention “a blatant conflict of interest”! I swear, you just can’t make this stuff up!
This country is a joke, and a bad one at that! Our people have no code of conduct, ethics, or professional etiquette! How is our country going to get any better when our leaders are openly shameless?! And what does that say about our people who continue to vote for them?! Shit always attracts flies!

I simply cannot believe what I’m reading here! Did Michael Pintard really suggest that government officials open a dialogue with gang leaders?!?! You’ve gotta be shitting me! No wonder the PLP has been able to operate unchecked and without overview seeing that a weak invalid appears to be sitting as leader of the opposition!

Open discussions with a criminal element would only reduce the sovereignty of the government while legitimizing the criminal activity of gang members!! How has our country sunken so low??? Giving strength and credibility to gangs by hosting “open talks” undermines our laws and makes a mockery of our standards, not to mention our national security!! Furthermore, it empowers and emboldens criminals to assume that their murderous actions are an effective way of influencing the government!! Mr Pintard; criminals should not be placed on the same platform as our officials less we lose our sovereignty!! A man in your position should know that! We should be elevating our standards, not reducing them to the scum and refuse associated with street crime!! Michael Pintard is a fool and needs to abdicate his position immediately!!

Our astute men and women need to come forward and take the reins from these derelict so called leaders! They don’t have a damn clue regarding what to say or what to do! When it comes to gang leaders and murderers the only discussion being held should be how to circumvent the privy council and expedite hangings!! We should be executing murderers not hosting discussions with them!!

Lol

@Bana10…… spot on!

Tribune….. please! Who cares???
We all enjoy watching Shaunae perform on the track. But that’s as far as our interest in her goes.
As far as her being pregnant, that’s for she and her family to enjoy. Simply put, it’s none of our business. Please do some REAL investigative reporting on the critical issues facing our country!
