Why just required reading in the Caribbean? This is racially prejudiced. What about all the mass killings b elsewhere? Where the intent was to set out and murder more than one individual. Many not even known to the killers.

If GBPA never paid any recoverable to government in seventy years and owe the government $357 million in FIVE years then the GBPA can be owing the government around four billion dollars!!! And if you were to add accumulated interest over a seventy-year period, that amount can easily exceed twelve billion dollars! That can pay off the country’s national debt with comfort.
. And if you take into consideration the thousands of acres of property given to to the Port ( Bahamian people’s Crown Land), what consideration was given to the Bahamian people in return? When the GBPA dredged Grand Bahamia to make canals, it carted off thousands of tons of ‘limestone’ that was sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. Not unlike was done in Sea Breeze and Coral Harbour. Where millions were made. What have the Bahamian people gotten in return?
It is Hubert Ingraham with his stupid grin that took the bite and the teeth out of Sir Lynden Pindling’s ‘Bend or break’ speech that got Freeport in the quagmire between the government and the GBPA today. Instead of advancing the fundamentals of the bend or break speech? Ingraham jumped in bed wholesale with the Port and joined them is calling the BaHAMAS Government and the Bahamian people the laughing stock. If the Port owes the government, then it should pay. If it doesn’t owe, then it should disqualify the claim legitimately and not brush it aside like it is a joke. And if the GBPA is not living up to its duties and responsibilities it should be given a ‘show cause’ letter and either pull up its socks or ‘push out’ Grand Bahama and , more specifically, Freeport must take advantage of this boom in the global economy to right itself. If it misseds this opportunity then it will have to endure another downturn with out having a recovery. That will make things twice as hard on Freeport Residents
the economic toll of murder: This country has been experiencing in excess of 100 murders at least for a decade. Most of the victims are male, under the age of 30 and they usually have an average of two children, who are, in most instances, minors.so with simple calculations, some 2,000 (Two Thousand Children, have lost their fathers since 2014. And, in many instances, the mothers are left to struggle with these children.in most cases, the victims have no life insurance and what is garnished from NIB is not sufficient to replace either the main breadwinner in the family or a secon wage earner. And so more and more children are growing up in poverty with a struggling mother and sometimes a child who is barely becoming an adult is also murdered. Many young men are becoming discouraged because most jobs pay minimum wages, which can’t support a family and many also live in fear of becoming a victim of an assassins bullets. And with armed robberies and violent armed robberies on the increase, the general Bahamian public is definitely less safe than they have been in the past ten years.
This is a dangerous piece of legislation that can ensnare and even trap the most innocent persons and have them accused and even convicted as so called’ gang activity.’ And this bill, if passed gives more power to the police than judges have. Police can arrest anyone on ‘suspicion of gang activity’ without a warrant. If a police presents himself to a judge to request a warrant, he must convince the judge that his suspicion is reasonable and if he has evidence, it must have substance. With some NINETY cases before the coroner’s court involving police shootings, is this really the time to grant police more unrestricted powers? It appears this bill is a cut and paste piece of crap that will bring more hardship to those who may be victims of gang activity but caught up in the fray. The stupidity of trying to prosecute a parent of a child who may be involved in gang activity without the parents knowing is crazy, crazy. Now if the parent is aware of their child’s activity or even upholding it or promoting it, then yes, yes the full brunt of the law fall on them.
