I thought journalism was meant to be unbiased, so I am very disappointed with The Tribune's headline of "Tasteless".

Wrong!

Bitter pills are hard to swallow, but Mr. Mackey has courageously depicted what many Bahamians are thinking and feeling. Kudos to you, Mr. Mackey.

Now maybe we can start to have a conversation about this like grown-ups and really hold Mr. Christie and the PLP's feet to the fire and start demanding answers for the dictatorship and failed leadership they have given the long-suffering people of the Bahamas. We deserve better, but unless we speak up, we will have the same lies and half-truths spoon fed to us for years to come.

Winners? It's the Bahamian people who are the losers in this deal.

What idiotic comments from some people. The man was elderly and suffered from dementia. He wandered off and was later discovered dead in the Lyford canal. There's no story here, no conspiracy, no mystery, just a grieving family who has lost their husband, father, grandfather and friend. I won't post the name out of respect for the family, but can't we all just offer our condolences instead of stupid and insensitive remarks?

Lard ass, as you so crudely put it, is on a plane this morning headed to Long Island. Can the same be said for the reps of Exuma and Cat Islands? Furthermore, there is much work to be done, which is why Mrs. Butler-Turner is first focusing on HER constituency. There are many people who need help there.

Why must we make this a political issue? There are human beings, some our friends and family members. who are suffering. They need our help. SP, what are you doing to help these relief efforts? Go buy some food and water and take it down to one of the 3 collection sites around the islands. Be a part of the solution instead of just making noise!

Already done! Both are on board -- Fast Ferries and Island Link. But the airlift is going to be the first responders to assess what is needed and provided immediate aid.

There's going to be a lot of work ahead.

Birdie, as usual, your logic is astounding.

Mrs. Butler Turner can do far more for her constituents by being in Nassau and coordinating supplies and assistance from Nassau.

Which is far more than we can say for your beloved PLP - Acklins's administrator fled the island ahead of the storm and where is Mr. V. Alred Gray -- is he in Acklins and Crooked Island? Oh, and even Mr. Perry Christie can't even get the damn name of the storm correct. Please leave your brainwashed politics out of it, Birdie.

People are suffering on many of our islands -- now is not time for stupid, petty politics. Now is the time to help those poor people who have lost so much. So what are you doing to help, Birdie?

"confirmed that he was in a lunging position at the time he was shot"

DEDDIE, common sense tells you that if he was in a lunging position, he would not have been shot in the back of the neck. Something smells here.

And they want to make this a University? Good Lord, can we just get the damn basics right first? What a disgrace this little banana republic has become.

Not to begrudge SAC their sports successes, but why does the Tribune devote a front page and half to this game? What about a headline from last week where instead of congratulating St. Andrew's for a win over SAC, the article only talks about SAC's loss and not St. Andrew's win? How about some unbiased and equal-space reporting?

Yeah, I was also wondering how an attacking suspect can get shot in the back of his neck while being a threat -- being unarmed and all with how many police/immigration officers? And accidentally discharged? Why was the gun out of the holster to begin with unless he/she planned to shoot the suspect? Someone needs to answer some questions.
