The first murder of 2024 was committed by an American citizen, according to information revealed in a recent court hearing. And, according to the minister of national security, a number of December and January murders are connected to the same incident. He could not give details, but a significant arrest today should help police to bring closure to this matter and stem these unusual numbers of killings. But it should not bring full comfort and relief to Bahamians as the country’s name and reputation is still in tge nedua all around the world and the economic fallout, especially in tourism, can be drastic and long lasting. And remember too, of tge 24 murders, ALL the victims weee Bahamian. As to reducing other murders that is not a part of the ‘spurt’ several ministers have spoken up. The minister of national security says tge ankle monitor and bail process is being reviewed. The PM is pushing the bail review act. The minister of education says a number of programs have been introduced in schools specifically targeted vat males and at risk males to help curb gang involvement and violence and the minister of foreign affairs says his government has boots on the ground in the depreessed areas of New Providence implementing social and economic programs that is expected to assist with crime and violence reduction in these areas. So all is not doom and gloom. All is not list for Bahamians. Tourists live this country and so it should be an ‘all hands on deck to keep Bahamians, visitors and everyone else safe and bring swift justice to those who seek to create disharmony, disrupt peace and tranquility and take lives.
At least tge love affair between the Bahamas and The USA is sustainable. Most Americans love Bahamians and most Bahamians live to shop.. and they live Football and basketball and Red Lobster
The Bible says there will be a great shaking up of the earth! ‘ See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. His voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven." This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews12:25-29 RSV)’. See what happening in Britain right now? King Charles may be off the throne by May and the person he least wanted to replace him will! And watch the massive transitions that take place in the Yas between now and that country’s November Elections and the transformation that will take place thereafter! Y’all keep y’all’s poison bens close bak! Ok!
@ messenger: Stooges come in threes. So obviously you are the third fool! There is:was no argument, can’t you see? Ok maybe you blind like the third ( blind) mice. I posted a rebuttal to the Stupidity that Tal Russel posted, then it became a personal attack.. and that’s how y’all do. You come here and spray this blog full of garbage juice on a daily basis. But when someone challenges you, you ( cowards) try turn into something personal!
Read your stupidity! You are suggesting that the government offer large sums of cash to gangs that are already wreaking havoc in the country. So in all your intelligence, where is the sanity and logic in this? What , even in your least wildest imagination, do you think this money will be used for? Whilst you at it, let’s find some women for rapists to rape so they don’t have to rape ‘innocent’ and unsuspecting ones! And let’s funds some slaves for the slave massas who lost theirs when slavery became illegal…
The Bible speaks of people like you, hrysippus. It’s ok for people like you to come on here and spew garbage and misinformation but as soon as someone offers a correction or a rebuttal, they are labeled a communist or anything other that a child of God. Maybe you are shocked that the truth is being revealed and now you realize that those who are wreaking havoc on this country will have to face a judgment. Maybe rather than calling me a communist or a Bot you can tell me that part of my posts that you disagree with or find to be untrue. Get some credibility before you try to label someone else incredible. The day of reckoning is nigh! Fortunately the average Bahamian doesn’t even read the Tribune blogs. Their attitude is ‘let them run on. That’s the nature of the beast!’
It didn’t just happen here but in Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados and Mexico. Drugs don’t flow through the BaHAMAS like the Caribbean Sea but the violence are carnage they initiated still plague this colony of islands
When they were running drugs through the BaHAMAS in the 1980’s and 1990’s under the name of the ‘war on drugs, one tactic tge DEA used to create violence and disharmony in this colony was they would ‘go undercover’ and befriend a ‘drug dealer’ to buy a stash of cocaine ( they wasn’t really that interested in marijuana. Then they would pay the drug dealer in counterfeit money and he, in turn would pay his suppliers. Then the supplier would find that the money was counterfeit so he would start a beef with the drug dealer, demanding payment. The drug dealer in turn cannot pay the supplier because the cut he got in the deal was also counterfeit. By this time the DEA had loaded the drugs onto a helicopter and took them to the US, because they claim they didn’t trust Bahamian police or authorities. So the drugs hit the US and are sold and the funds used to fund the Contras in Somewhere in South America whiles Bahamians are left losing or begging for their lives and the supplier of the drugs didn’t get paid
TAL Russell: your post has to be the stoopidest post for the year!!! Hands down! Too bad it couldn’t be ‘guns Dow n’. It has been proven over and again that cash for guns do not work, periodd! In fact it is well documented that offering cash for guns actually increases the proliferation of weapons. The guys will turn guns they are not using and collect the cash and probably use the cash to buy better weapons. remember criminals carry guns not only as an assault weapon but also as a means of protection. Next there will not be any cease fire among gangs. Remember the intention of gangs is to create havoc in a society, promote crime and antisocial behavior and kill and destroy. So to tell a gang not to do any of these things is like telling them to change not only their lifestyle but their nature. And facts will bear it out that most of the young men being gunned down are NOT involved in criminal activity. They are hardly ever found to be carrying a weapon when they are gunned down, so most likely they don’t even realize a hit is out on them. They are doing normal activities like going to or from work or home or just chilling when they get gunned down. So your post needs rethinking and a definite rewrite!
