The United States of America also needs to shoulder a large portion of the blame when it comes to the trafficking of illegal firearms into the Bahamas.

They've invaded many countries in South America for the manufacturing and distribution of narcotics to the U.S. But yet they fail to acknowledge that they are manufacturing and distributing illegal weapons to their southern neighbors as well.

How would they feel if another super power invaded their shores because too many weapons and illegal firearms were being shipped out of their country?

Hmmmmm

Not only the police.... but government cronies, members of parliament, judges, cabinet ministers, lawyers, and those holding power within national security.

There's a huge gun smuggling and human trafficking ring going on in the Bahamas. And the ones who are charged with the responsibility of stopping it, are the ones who are engaged in it. The average Bahamian is completely in the dark as to what's going on in this country.

The United States has recently classed the Bahamas government among the most corrupted countries in the west, next to Mexico and Colombia. International diplomacy is currently preventing them from indicting many of them for questioning in drug related cases. My cousin works for the department of corrections in the U.S. She said that a certain drug dealer who was extradited years ago has sung like a bird to the DEA. He implicated many of them in his dealings related to bribery and payoffs.

What other country do you know of in the Western Hemisphere where the Deputy Prime Minister is in danger of being arrested if he enters the North American boarder??

Sad state of affairs is the Bahamas.

The police caught a big-wig, PLP crony smuggling guns and ammunition into the country via automobiles from the U.S.

The guilty party was never charged because Jerome Fitzgerald, who was then acting as the Attorny General, got the charges nullified.

The shocking truth is...... government officials and those who hold power in this country are the ones who are operating and trafficking illegal firearms into the Bahamas. Because of the geographical construct of the Bahamas and the fact that we're surrounded by miles of ocean, our boarders are wide open to smuggling. This makes our boarders extremely hard, almost impossible, to police.

Big-wigs, white collar criminals, and government officials (some within national security) are exploiting this fact and getting rich off of it. I guarantee you.... if you knew the truth about what's really going on in this little Bahamas, you wouldn't sleep very good at night. It'll turn every strand of hair on your head, gray. Trust me.

Brace for periodic supply interruptions to carry out planned improvement exercises in the area???????

Who the hell does BEC think they're fooling?????

This statement by BEC is nothing more than a euphemism.

What they really mean to say is, "we're sorry.... but we're a black owned, black operated, full of shit company. We've always been full of shit; still are full of shit; and always will be full of shit until a white owed, white operated, foreign entity comes and takes over. We sincerely apologize for our incompetence, but our managerial team along with our ground workers happen to be a product of the F average educational system that we've been subjected to, and a direct extension of our two bungling governmental parties. We simply cannot help the fact that your houses are in darkness, because the fact remains, our brains are in darkness too. Again...... we do apologize for any inconvenience caused."

That's true to a certain degree, I guess.

But you've failed to acknowledge the fact that many of the poor are indeed POOR because of the POOR decisions that they've made in their lives!!

And I'm by no means saying that its all of them!! But it's far too many of them!! Especially the ones who are constantly complaining.

So in others words..... you expect the government to be responsible for these adolescence actions???

Get the hell outta here!!!

Every man and every woman is responsible for his/her own actions and inactions in life!! That's the problem with society today!! Everyone wants to blame someone else except the person looking back at them in the mirror!!

Get this rubbish of a post outta here, SP!!!

Does this man not realize that he is safer in jail???

If he is released on bail, he will become the next murder victim in the form of a retaliation killing. Every time an accused murderer is realeased on bail, he himself is then shot and killed.

If you value your life, jail is the safest place right now. There are no guns in jail. But in the streets of Nassau, there are thousands.

Huh???

I'm guessing Chucky is Perry Christie.

Honestly, I blame president Barak Obama.

Ever since he pulled U.S.Troops out of the MIddle East and surrounding Arab nations such as Yemen and Pakistan, terrorist organizations have been allowed to flourish. As a result, terrorist cells operating in other parts of the world now have the financial capacity to carry out these heinous attacks.

Ironically, France was one of the countries that refused to join the coalition of troops in Afganistan after the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S. Maybe now they are rethinking their original position.

Yup. That's true Emac.
