General, lets not go crazy here, according to UNODC, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-…, the Bahamas was way ahead of the pack when it comes down to intentional homicide rate per capita in 2011: 36.2 per 100,000 vs US (4.7 per 100,000). we even beat Colombia (33.2 per 100,000) or Mexico (22.7 per 100,000). Sure we are behind Venezuela, Jamaica, El Salvador, Lesotho, Guatemala and Honduras. This was before the catastrophic year of 2013 (and 2014). Nothing to be proud of.
I like the union's approach at least they say what they want, unlike our Government, and they seem to be very entrepreneurial all of a sudden. They want to do that themselves? Howdie, bring it on. CEO Bernard Evans putting in unpaid overtime. We need more reasons to laugh here in Bahamaland.
I agree, however if so, I am concerned about the Bahamas becoming a convenient place to lure people to and execute them (or have them executed), sounds rather like South America to me. The problem is the same, guns, lack of social fabric, jobs, incapable and corrupt government.
of course you are 100% spot on. to fix the families takes generations, but to support the persons that are role models in their neighborhoods, in business, in helping others, that can be done today, and now. Well maybe something for the newspapers? Dear Tribune, just copy CNN's Heroes Model and place the Bahamian heroes on Front Page every day, instead of bloody noses and morgues.
well am not getting into a discussion here. if you have a gun you use a gun. whether good citizen or not. Reality is that Bahamas is way up on the worldwide statistics on murders by a gun. Not sure I even want cops to be armed here, I 100% agree with you on that.
well seems that in certain places in NP the odds of the statistics are just working against you. So maybe the crooks should relocate to safer places on the island?
