Soloman was a gentle soul, widely respected in our community. Not only was he a skilled carpenter, but he was also a devoted family man dedicated to providing for his loved ones. While his communication style might have been occasionally irksome to some, it is unimaginable that such minor differences could ever justify the heinous act that took his life. Soloman's untimely departure serves as a painful reminder of the need for compassion, understanding, and unity in our community. We must stand together, reject violence, and promote empathy to ensure that such tragedies never recur.

Is The Bahamas under military threat? When did this happen? The sight of heavily armed military personnel on Bay Street during yesterday's event was truly alarming. It's not every day that Bahamians carry arms, so why the show of force, and what message is being sent? This display of power and lack of respect for the Bahamian people is concerning. It begs the question, what do political leaders and 'what appears' to be their personal armed forces think of the Bahamian People, the people they are supposed to serve? How far will their loyalty go should Bahamians exercise their rights to disagree and protest as democracy allows them? 'would we see heavily armed military personnel firing on Bahamian People'? These are questions that demand answers.
The recent incident involving the suspicious death of Jermaine Miller and his 22-month-old son, Anwar Miller, has sparked deep concerns within the Bahamian public. Police Commissioner Clayton Fernander's claim that Jermaine had "a high concentration of marijuana" in his system, supposedly leading to his demise, has raised significant questions.
One pressing concern revolves around the potential connection between prolonged exposure to high temperatures locked in a police car unattended and Millier's cardiac arrhythmia. Citizens are questioning whether being confined in a hot environment, like a police car, could exacerbate such a condition, given the risks of dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. However, it's crucial to emphasize the existing uncertainties surrounding the cause of Jermaine's cardiac arrhythmia and whether it was truly linked to his drug use or environmental factors such as heat.
Furthermore, doubts have been cast on the reliability of the pathologist's conclusion, especially when considering the violent, careless cultural context within the Bahamian police force. This scepticism reflects the lack of trust in the transparency and fairness of the investigation process.
In light of these concerns, there is a pressing need for thorough and unbiased investigations into this and many other cases. The Bahamian public demands transparency, accountability, and justice. This incident underscores the urgency for comprehensive research into potential health risks associated with both high temperatures and marijuana use. Restoring public trust in law enforcement requires a meticulous, impartial examination of the facts, ensuring that justice prevails and the truth emerges, regardless of the cultural or social context.
The public has to know if we are at risk when encountering our Police.

As a 'supporter' of the Free National Movement (FNM), it is worth acknowledging that while the party desires to triumph over the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), the current FNM leadership and management do not offer credible guidance and organization that the Bahamas requires. Regrettably, the current FNM lineup and leadership fall short in comparison to the formidable 'Brave/Chester' administration. The PLP is a disappointment defaulting back to its old practices of petty politics; nevertheless, this is the stark reality.
"With OB's passing, it seems that The Bahamas may need to consider a new advocate for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) rights and a replacement for the Gender Rights Minister. I'm curious to see who might fill those roles. Hummm ;)"
"In the dual realms of life in the Bahamas as a Bahamian, one navigates two distinct worlds. In one, the 'Night Guards' are guardians of their master's property. At the same time, the citizens (the Bahamian People) grapple with the disillusionment of a 'protect and serve' concept that never truly existed. Simultaneously, the 'Night Guards' are diligently trained to view the Bahamian People as a potential threat, upholding their duty to the fullest extent, guided by their pledge and honour as 'Night Guards of their Masters."
