Seriously? Only in The Bahamas huh? not USA, UK, etc? Self deport? Bahamians (in this case, whatever that word means) did not self import! But the law is the law! Am all for LEGAL immigration, I live in the US with 4 Americans (wife 3 kids) who means everything to me, so am not heartless, I understand, but even after being here more than 2 decades I get no special privileges, and I don't expect none! Am not complaining, life is good, just making a point. If we (Bahamians) decide to put a price tag on everything, sooner than later Nassau will be privately own by some Russian or Chinese Billionaire! Then we won't have to self deport, we'll be deported with/without Bahamian identification!

This must be a "tongue-in-cheek" moment! Seriously? If no one is "entitled" to have proper identification in The Bahamas because they don't vote, drive or travel internationally the very same employer (UBS) of this gentleman probably would not be in the Bahamas because of that same law! So how will you draw your old age pension later? what do you think should be required "required" A Fingerprint? retinal scan? Good luck "selling" that to the Bahamian voters. Think we have immigration problem and lawlessness now? a law not requiring any identification in The Bahamas will make what we have now seem like "child's play" IMHO

@Blackcat: Respectifully, I understand what you are saying, many of our LOP's NEED proper training when dealing with the public, but an accident is different from immigration enforcement roundup don't you think? imagine if they had extended the same "courtesy" to all 120+ detained, how many would of returned with their proper documents? I don't have a chip on my shoulder, seriously I don't, actually I have in on the table, fish and chips anyone? Prejudice? That's laughable! my wife is is white, oh, and the usual "I have many WHITE friends" Seriously, if he was of another race, gender, national origin or Flava Flav with a giant clock around his neck my comments would of been the same! well, almost, I would have to comment about the clock.

@Thinker: tushay Thinker....tushay, I really should of read all of the fine print when I signed up for my Tribune242 profile. Hmmm, Now I understand how my 0% APR credit card is now 15% APR! those Intelligent Bastards!

Lets address the greater of two evils, Who abuse women the most in The Bahamas because of their(the abuser) lack of, or short comings? MEN! by a huge margin, Who abuse MEN the most in The Bahamas because of their (the abuser/interrogation "officer") lack of or short comings? Women?? Nope! It's the police! So this is where I have a problem when it comes to the death penalty in The Bahamas, I DO believe in "If you Intentionally take someone's life without their consent, you loose YOUR life without your consent" In other words, to the "criminals" if you live a life of crime, make sure you have a signed will! However, when we have Police, CID, DEU etc instead of upholding the law even when it come to "Due process" decide to break the law and violate suspects rights by beating the crap out of them to the point that, whether the suspect is innocent or guilty, just to remain alive while chained or handcuffed in their custody, they will sometimes "confess" even when they are innocent! need to be dealt with swiftly! Solution: Train interrogation officers to effectively do their jobs, and punish those who don't, no man is above the law! Who do they think they are? a Politician/"Lawmaker"/Criminal Lawyer/Gangster in a Tie? Create a system where victims of police abuse can sue the RBPF for pain and suffering etc hit them where it hurts on every level, demotion, no pay, imprisonment etc the law has to be respected by all! Then lets start the hanging! sounds barbaric? Have ever you ever seen a open gunshot wound on an innocent victim? an innocent bystander? innocent baby/teenager? Have you ever faced the nozzle of a gun? trust me you don't! Listen,you think praying is going to stop these trained killers, think again! Which religion in the world pray more than the Muslims? look at what the USA did to them, or look at what they're doing to themselves! lets get real, If they have no regard for human life that they can see, what you think about "someone" who they CAN'T see! Even some Religious Gangsters show no regard! "The chickens have come home to roost!" after years and years of sexual abuse, Incest, thieving, lying, backstabbing, hypocritical culture openly displayed by the Political/Religious Gangsters in The Bahamas, we are now reaping the residuals of our past deeds and actions. Just like in the earlier centuries where guns and germs equals power!! Welcome to 21st Century Imperialism/Colonialism! Dam*it did I go of course again? SMT, I'll be at the shooing range with my AR-15

There is a BIG difference between someone who THINKS, and something that thinkles what you think thinker? police state???? If what happen the other day constitutes to The Bahamas being a "Police State" the USA (where I currently live) is Nazi Germany!!! it's called immigration enforcement!

I don't currently reside my Beloved Bahamaland, I don't "listen" to Bahamian radio, however, I do read both The Nassau Guardian and The Tribune almost daily (online) I must admit, it's clear which paper favors whom (foreigners/black/whites/rich/poor/fnm/plp) That said, Kudos! to The Bahamian LOP's for what they are trying to do with our immigration system. And no, I have no sympathy for Mr.Top Bank Executive Detained At Immigration Road Block! I live in the USA and it does not matter Who you are or where you're from, or your net worth, sometimes your net worth makes you an even bigger sensationalized "catch" It's just amazing that after record breaking crime AND immigration problems in the Bahamas, we have people talking all this nonsense about LOP's detaining illegal immigrants, and possible illegal immigrants! If a red blooded bahamian can be accidentally detained for not having "correct" identification, what makes foreigners exempt? rich or poor, black or white? Mr.Top Bank Executive Detained At Immigration Road Block should know that 1) yes am rich but 2) Am not a Bahamian citizen, I should always carry some kind of documents to prove am here legally! Do you know what happens to ANYONE driving in the USA without any identification??? Can I go into Mr.Top Bank Executive Detained At Immigration Road Block bank without proper documents and still be allowed to have access to my accounts? These are those with that Elitist, above-the-law mentality. Dear Tribune, will I be correct in thinking that if your paper was based in the USA you would be endorsing GOPTea Party? This paper is FUBAR! Seriously!

Listen Bahamas, to repealed the Police Act is like repealed the Marriage Act, you know that cherished 21st century B.S christian hypocrisy philosophy? 1 man 1 woman (in public that is, because we know behind close doors, hmm) and no, I don't mean Gay marriage, i will not tell anyone who they can/cannot love, some people love PLP, some love FNM, and I suppose to convince them to just love DNA? Well, I will however, suggest everyone love DNA, seriously who don't like human cells, or animals, or plants, but as for the Bahamian Political Party DNA, Why would I try to convince you to NOT like the others if I don't have my own selfish reasons? That said, to repealed the Police Act, that was put in place as a balance of power, as a "fire under the crotch" mechanism so "Top Brass" will do their jobs, is asinine! What are we becoming Syria? absolute power corrupts absolutely!! Well, never-mind, that's just when it's them "white" folks! Now, if this becomes a problem to the masses that we still have the SAME Commissioner of Police in The Bahamas since I was in Primary school, with crime escalating, from this new, more intelligent, well connected, angry, hopeless, get rich or die trying, breaking bad, (should I go on?) LISTEN these old Political Gangsters of the 70,s, 80's and 90's are were great, but respectfully, they ALL including our current pm need to retire!!!! give the new breed of fierce, technologically advance, well connected bahamians home and abroad a chance to save our beloved Bahamaland! You can gather 1 million opportunist like "Rev" C.B Moss, and nothing will happen!! These new "criminals" are fearless, Religion??? are you kidding me?? We had churches littered across The Bahamas since 1973! We live in an information age, I don't need to go the the USA to get an american education anymore than I don't need to go there to learn criminal ways, or to read about religion, specifically in the west! The only time they (New Breed "Criminals") will "attempt" to use religion is ONLY if it benefits them!!! everyone whats to be mlk, no one wants to be malcolm x, but if there is any consolation to those to despise the latter, both was assassinated by the same political party. Why???? power/control!! Hmmmmm Imagine That! question: Why is crime a political party problem?

Piracy NEVER left! Piracy and Commerce are twin brothers who are also lovers.

“This donation is only the most recent of many examples of the continuing United States commitment to support and assist the Defence Force in their unwavering efforts to protect and defend the Bahamas,” Charg� Dinkelman said. “Despite difficult fiscal times, we intend to continue our investments in this great partnership for we cannot waiver in our resolve to confront and defeat the threats that affect both our nations.” hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol!!!! Yea, how about that!! WOW!!! makes me wanna take a weeks trip to Colorado, you know they have the legal "trees" there, the same ones this vessel will probably be used for to fight, kill and further disenfranchise Bahamian Citizens and produce even more criminals aka black men, you know how America LOVES black men just look at how they treat their own potus! kml hahahahahahahahahahah lololololol Making money hand over fist huh? Bahamians, where all these guns in our streets come from? So whose next to pacify and protect American Business interest in The Bahamas? Huh? Browning? Smith & Wesson? Who? How about bulletproof vest for all the Business owners on Bay Street etc while Bahamian Citizens "over Da Hill" starve and slaughter each other with one america's #1 export product, weapons? If GWB know about the "Drug Kinpin" am sure they know about the "Gun Kinpin" but guess what Bahamas? You can't make guns, or legally grow WEED! Bahamas we are being crapped on and being told its rain, How can 90 Knowles and the others, be extradited for dangerous drugs, that a human being 9 times out of 10 have to take by themselves! but Bahamians are being shoot down in the streets likes dogs, with dangerous weapons 9 times out of ten, in the Bahamas, is used on a VICTIM???? (and I use that "victim" word very, very loosely) Oh, I forget, thank you, and may god bless america!
