I Note... the weapon of choice was not a gun; nor was the accused an intruder or a stranger to the victim; also, the area where the crime scene is not located, is not in the 'ghetto'. This should be of help to show that the root of this scourge (crime/murders) is more intrinsic than we care to or are willing to admit.

The USA's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is not intrinsically a part, or an institution within our society; and therefore, they can lend little outside help to us resolving this scourge. The solutions lies among us Bahamas... and among us only, as a people.

Why don't you use your real name to do postings?

Adrian Gibson & Readers,

I do not doubt your sincere dedication for the wellbeing of Our Beloved Bahamas; in fact, I applaud you Adrian. What I find missing in your writings, as now, is you inability to scout the full peripherals of any given situation before arriving at an absolute conclusion as to what transpired. Maybe this is a matter of experience which is said to only come with age. You, however, noted that the "killers that our society is now producing seemingly give no thought to how one’s death could impact their family and affect so many others.". With this comment you seem to be putting your finger correctly on to the pulse so as to identify the root cause of the problem, but then, you tend you go on and tend to deliver on the incisive needs of what must be done.

But... at least, you are right to say that we, as a Country, are producing our own un-remorseful killers. This admission is, at least, a beginning among us to accept some responsibility of where we are today. What then becomes needed, I add, are persons, like me, who has the 'moral fortitude' and the 'political will' to come together and do what is absolutely necessary to counteract the fetal conception, in the first place, so as to prevent the disposition to criminality all together as a societal norm.

The four terms which I used, 'moral, fortitude, political, will' should be interpreted in their most narrow sense. I heard talk show host Juan McCartney, when explaining the medical treatment which his parents have had to undergo, used the terminology "incisive procedure". That was admirable of him in stressing the approach that is needed. This is the approach that needs to be adopted in order to cure and arrest this disease of moral decay and crime in Our Land. Such approach leaves very little room for what may sound politically correct. It addresses only what is needed to rid the organism of the root cause of its problem and the procedure itself is not very pretty. But Adrian, the powers that be knows that their conduct, i and of themselves, are at the very root of our problem. They are part and parcel of the issues, and, it is therefore understandable why they don't possess this 'moral fortitude' nor the 'political will' to get guide Our Bahama-Land in the direction that it should be going.

In prison the inmates with long sentences would comfort themselves by saying that the monkey, after chapping of his tail, said to the gorilla, "it ain long now..." Who knows... but I pray God it'll be much sooner than later. Keep up the good works and may God continue to inspire you and your Readers.

The idea, it seems to me, is that, it is not sufficient to simply have your husband branded as a criminal... the powers that be now wants to drive him, and others, to a mental state of madness so that we too in The Bahamas can claim as other countries to have a terrorist problem. It is not enough that your husband has shown his potential to get up from his past and do good with his life, they now wants him to play the role of a mad terrorist. By extension, they would have your children to become bitter as well so that their children can always appear to be superior to yours for jobs and appointments. But you are to be congratulated for standing by your man. I pray God that we get more women like you... then this Country can be healed from the wounds of the past. God bless and do stand strong...

Dear Cucumber, I take the liberty to quote your dissenting question as to "Who is this Party Insider who is so cowardly that he chooses to hide behind anonymity rather than come out and be a man or woman to say where he stands without fear.". And indeed you go on further to say, "That is how loyal members operate, not speaking out anonymously which doesn't do any good for anybody.". This leaves me to ask about your identity... what is your true name??? Or does the quotes best describe you as a true "COWARD"?

stop alienating and marginalizing citizens due to some indiscretion the persons might have committed in the past. We can ill afford to continue ostracizing persons who have had to overcome poverty, social and environmental flaws dominant in the community they were born and raise in. To begin with, they were ill prepared from the get-go to deal with these crippling factors, however, they rose above the hurdles which can be attested. These persons possess have valuable life experiences and education from which the community can tap into so as to gather insight as to a solution going forward. An unforgiving attitude only perpetuates the damage already done and serves to incur further despair and alienation resulting in resentment to the society they were meant to partner with.
