And then the police will make a statement condemning the victim rather than the killers and making a promise to find them and then there’s silence until the next victim is found. Dead of course.
Has anyone noticed there’s been ZERO travel advisories since the FNM came to power. Now they can comfortably brag about an 18% increase in stop over visitors.
The spirit of democracy is alive. And even pets know when it’s cold and wet outside nothing beats a roof over your head and warm food. Getting your own warm bed and a big thick blanket (or a/c) can come later.
First off t, there is a significant decrease in serious crime, including murder, in the US and several Caribbean countries. Jamaica’s murder rate is down 25% for the year, compared to 30 % in The Bahamas, so it cannot all be attributable to increased and/or better policing. Secondly mass shootings in the US are also on a decline, but many still avoid large gatherings including malls and school campuses out of fear. And yes the murders may be mostly among a selection of the population, gang bangers and hardened or career criminals, but the average age of both the killers and the victims remain unchanged which indicates that new people are joining in these gangs and in these crimes that lead to murder, And replacing those who are killed or sent away to jail. And if there is any credibility to the headlines that appeared on one of the tabloids today, apparently police has sufficient information on those who are leading this gang activity in the country and put an end to it. And finally the prime minister may not be all delusional when he says Bahamians may feel safe in the country again. There were three days of sailing events at the Montagu foreshore. Thousands attended over the weekend and there was hardly a squirmish. Albeit many who attended were from the family islands or from the rake and scrape age that sailing draws. And then there are several concerts scheduled over the next few weeks that includes rappers from the US who promote gangsters and crime and violence through their music. Will the results be different from the event at Montagu.. even if not at the event itself, what about the days following it?
A tip of the iceberg. Imagine the potential. Every recipient of food assistance from Social Services should have vouchers for two $20 fruits and veggies from the farmers market each month and two $25 for fish from approved seafood vendors. Imagine if this country can cut its food and energy import bills in half. That’s several Billion dollars remaining in the country each year to be recirculated among Bahamians. It’s called the multiplier effect, where the more times it circulates, the more new wealth (or money) it generates.
Thought they said the movie (move) was to be before Christmas. And as Brent Symnonette rakes in his Millions in Post Office bootleg money, has the government decided how it will deal with the contract is has for the property on the opposite side of the round-about? It’s a real eyesore
