There is no use in training the youths dem and helping them find a job, if at the same time you don't retrain and educate your police officers in dealing with young people. For example if your officers stop a car with young people, still in uniform, either going to or coming from work and handle them in such a manner that the persons are detained and eventually lose their jobs, is that a help or hindrance to society. And while there is need for searching a vehicle or a person for weapons, police must also be aware of the psychological effect of a personal body search in a public area and also unnecessary aggression and taunting by police. In other words, the police cannot hinder the rights of a law-abiding citizen to movement.

Compare what? You shut up with your insider trading

@themesenger.. if all you can gather from my post is that I am a racist that have an issue with renting from your ‘White Bay Street boys’, then your brain is smaller than a gnat’s eyebrow. And further more you are mentally sick. Now go back and read my posts (after taking your medication or did you miss two doses) and address me correctly. Y’all thinks that once you call a black person a racist it excuses you and gives you license to say what you like. When I wants to become a racist I’ll move to Mississippi and battle the Klan. There’s this thing about crosses burning that is more sensational than...

If you look across the street from Symnonettes mall, a place, a temporary location was being prepared for the post office. It was one of the first things Symnonett’s FNM Government applied the brakes too when they won the government. Then they used Phil’s as a diversion when they knew they intended to put the post office in Symonette’s mall. So the government has now spent or will spend three set of monies on three different properties for the post office, only because of Brent’s greediness. It will have to pay substantial amounts to get out of the lease with the Independence Shopping Center. It has spent Millions to squire Phil’s and ‘pretend ‘ to prepare it. Now it must give Symnonette it’s other arm and leg to move into Town Center, where Symnonettes Commonwealth Bank and Cost Rite will also benefit from the post office’s presence. But it’s the people’s time.

One of the reasons the crime levels are so high in this country (and not condoning it) and so difficult to control is law abiding Bahamians see the same set of Bahamians being enriched, while their own lives are becoming more difficult, they are being taxed more and more and it has become impossible for small businesses to survive in this country. It was greed that was a part of Town Center Mall’s failure. Greed by the owners who wanted to monopolize everything and compete directly with their tenants. Now rather than dip in his own deep pockets, This Symnonett intends to use taxpayers money to revive his white elephant mall.

Not unlike the battle for Hard Rock cafe

So he was clearly in Miami when the cronies met. Even drug dealers make sure to have air flight (err air tight) alibis. This government continues to keep taking from one set of Bahamians and giving to the same other set of Bahamians who have been taking from Bahamians all along.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Did the rum running ever stop. Because this government is punch drunk and no longer even have national pride. Poor Bahamians!

Well least you forget Jacob fought with his brother Esau while still in the mother’s womb. And when Esau was being birthed first, Jacob grabbed on to his heel. And later on he stole Esau’s birth right. And then he wrestled with God. And to who was it God said, ‘I hated you from you was in your mother’s womb.’

Maybe it *is* time to change the model for the development of Grand Bahama. Since the magic has fizzled, come up with a more sustainable development.
