Are the neighborhood watch a new policing force? Because idk understand what this car is gonna be useful for other than transporting watchmen or criminals from place to station.
I mean it would be great if they could serve as community police, but It's not clear what's the status is.
I think the editor is right we must be careful in our words and action how we treat other, however it doesn't change the situation that these shanty towns don't belong and are a longtime error/sickness that has to be remedied.
You can't have individuals in sub-standard housing, no matter what status they are. It's no different than Bain and Grants Town which needs to be improved however unlike the shanty towns, it is a multi-generational settlement, which houses individuals with legal claims to the land and more often than not legal status. Furthermore during the time that many building were built regulations weren't the same.
These shanty towns, are newly built settlements, with no legal land owners, which are known to house people with no legal status. Therefore, you must address the question "why would you allow more sub-standard housing developments to occur/run rampant." So I do find it sad that people lost their things to fire but in the end it was poor regulations/slackness of previous administrations that stoked this fire. Shanty towns will have to be removed in order for this cycle to be broken. Continued loose regulations is only making the immigration problem worse and adding more problem to this society.
I think frustration at no action being done to correct this issue and cost associated to the Bahamian state is what makes people livid and react so vengefully.
Both equally as incompetent as each other like 2 ugly heads of the same political beast. Perhaps you could even say they are 2 folds of the same party/elite clique only with an elaborate paint scheme & their share of swindled followers.
There somebody in the chain of smuggling who once removed can collapse the trade, all you need to do is ask your local gangbanger where he get his gun from and give him a plea deal if he gives good info.
Great our environment minister is taking a photo, its been months since I've seen him. Now I wonder what he has to say about the sunken ship full of fuel.
Yeah of course you need to correct the culture but gun essentially make it easier for a homicide to occur. Without their guns some of these cowards wouldn't dare hold a woman up for her purse or steal her car.
So yes, don't just blame gun but we must still focus on suppressing it's trade because of how damaging it is to our society
