Maybe Perry "Shuffling" Christie and Bernard "Bumbling" Nottage ought to take note of how Rudy Giuliani took New York back from the gangsters-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…
Sheeprunner says,"we have a PM who selects Ministers and COP for his own political reasons and who have to answer to him 24-7". You are proving my point. The argument I am presenting is simply this, the crime problem can be solved without having to go thru extreme measures such as setting curfews for adults. Since you are saying that the PM gat favorite people doing whatever, the same thing would be applied to the curfew. The PLP criminals would be able to roam the city and wreak havoc just like they are doing now. Similarly, only certain clubs would be allowed to operate out of the boundaries set by Tal. So you see, no matter what measures are taken, they will be ineffective as long as there is favoritism. The crime issue is bigger than the little fixes sheeprunner and Tal are brining to the table. The responsibility lies in the hands of the government. So tell me that the government is failing when it comes to delivering on crime, period. But don't tell me that the government is failing because a curfew is needed or some other stupid suggestion.
If one man can take the initiative to make New York a safer place, then why can't a whole government do the same to make a place safer that has far less people than New York. So you see Sheeprunner, ain no apples and oranges here.

Tal, that's why I like to go to the city so nice that they named it twice! New York is a prime example of a metropolis that has 24 hours nightclubs that was once crime ridden. Did the major order a curfew or did the authorities try to take away the freedom of the innocent??? No, they tackled the crime element head on with sensible solutions, because they had the will to do so. All I am saying is that the crime problem is pretty simple to resolve. No need to take extreme measures. The politicians just need to take their heads out of the sand and man up! Oh and by the way, I see many people are against the bill that would make parents responsible for their child's crime or whatever. In my opinion, that is certainly the best thing that Bernard Nottage has ever brought to the table. Since these lousy parents know nothing or care less about bringing up a child in the right way, then make em responsible. There is no way a 16 year old should be roaming the streets at night. If a mother cannot rule her son who is 16, then it is her duty to go to the police for his ass. This bill is just one of the ways that would help in tackling this thing from the root.

Notice the place this coward chose to make this announcement , Andros. The weakest link in the chain of islands when it comes to the people having common sense. He is smart enough to know that if he had made this announcement anywhere else in the Bahamas, he would get pelt with rocks.

"what's more important, reducing the opportunities to commit crimes." Tal, I couldn't agree with you more. I am all for reducing the opportunities to commit crimes. BUT not when it infringes on my right. The most important part of the Constitution of the Bahamas to me is, Chapter III – Protection of Fundamental Rights and Freedom of the Individual. That means that I can move around any public space, anytime I want without interference, as long as I am not bothering anyone or their property. I simply refuse to live in any country where authorities tell me that I cannot drink during a certain time or I have to stay in doors at a set time because of any reason, unless of course it is a state of emergency. Crime in the Bahamas is a grave concern, but it is not a state of emergency. The authority need to go after the law breakers with full force, leave the innocent people alone, including the young men who get send away to hardcore Foxhell Prison for a joint.
The major problem is that we still follow after those British archaic laws that have been on our books before independence. The world has changed since then. And what further compounds the problem at hand is that these jackasses in the HOA do not care or have the guts to amend the laws to keep up with the time. Especially that one who like to shuffle round like a dam chicken without a head. SMT...

@Tal-I need access to liquor at 4:00 am in the morning, just because I have a right to get it whenever I want. Besides, the last time I checked, I live in a free country. @sheeprunner-No curfew please...Why should I have to stay home like a child just because the commissioner and the government can't get their shit together. When all has been said and done, we live in a democracy, not a police state. SMH. But I thank God you two have nothing to do with governing the Bahamas,

"Comrades I believe there should be an enforced 2:00 am Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays closing time curlew placed on all night clubs, bars, dancing rooms and after hours liquor establishments" Why do we always try to take away the freedom of everyone just because a few rogues are out of hand. Even if we close nightclubs and or bars at 6pm in the evening that does not guarantee that someone will NOT get killed outside a nightclub. People are getting killed in broad daylight-So obviously it has nothing to do with the hours night clubs are opened. We need to stop looking at this quick Band-Aid fix and really get to the core of the problem.
The next thing people will be asking for is to have a national curfew where everyone has to be off the street at 10pm.SMT
The crisis we are seeing now has been in the making for decades. It is certainly not going away overnight. It's gonna take the cooperation of the community, the police and the government.
