ThisIsOurs: I put it here because someone hat posted that this young athlete (see today’s Tribune). Also posted his pic.Was one of the robbers dressed as a female. He is thousands of miles away from the country and was probably not even aware of the robbery until Family and friends and the media contacted him about his pic being posted. Supposed he was to return to the Bahamas and get arrested at the airport because of what some reckless and ill thinking persons posted on social media.

In the main time over 30,000 Japanese citizens have been admitted to hospital for heat stroke. A number have died. Close to 100 residents in Greece have lost their lives due to raging forest fires that have consumed many homes. Some residents had to jump into the ocean to save their lives. They were later rescued. Others were not so fortunate as they perished just 30 yards of reaching the seawater and this is being all blamed on global warming. In fact experts are now pondering if the weather will be too hot to host the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. A heat wave is hitting bit Asia And Europe and the higher summer temperatures are expected to be in effect still when the Olympics come around for n 2020.

Some things to consider: with over a hundred murders happening every year for at least 6 or 7 years and based on the detection rate, there should be several hundred persons in jail charged with murder. And based on the conviction rate there is a large number of convicted murderers in jail. According to crime statistics most of them are under 30 and as many as half are under 20 when they enter jail. And based on a life expectancy of 75 years, the Bahamian taxpayers will have to take care of these killers for an average of 50 years. And based on an estimated cost of $30,000 a year these murderers will cost the state about $1.5 million each before they die. And with a prison population of several hundred murderers, the murder rate is zero over quite a number of years and even attempted murder is not a serious problem. So in essence, persons serving time for murder in jail are safer (from murder) than the general Bahamian population. So what are the differences in conditions that make young, free men kill compared to those incercerated? And if you look at The demeanor of many of the persons charged with recent murders, they seem resolved in what they did. Killed someone. Took a life, committed bloody murder. No resentment, no remorse, hardly any emotion. But a look as if to say ‘yes I did it, I am a killer now, I’ve earned my stripes, the teardrop tattoo under my eye. And you better don’t sleep on me!’ So what you gonna do Bahamas? What you gonna do now?

There is a pic of a young man being circulated on Facebook as one of the John Bull robbers. This young man is in Colombia running track at the CAC games and representing the Bahamas. Persons should be careful what they post especially when they seek to tarnish someone’s reputation or even to put their life or personal safety in danger by posting them as an armed robber.

People trying to say America is not mentioned in tube Bibles end time prophecy, but O yes it is! The facts are that when America was acting on enslaving the Black man, it didn’t act alone. And when it was meeting out it’s atrocioudities against the enslaved, then freed African, America didn’t act alone, hence y’all get the definition of ‘Mystery Babylon’. Amen

And the Lord, God says ‘I will judge that nation that you served as slaves. The slaves shall die peacefully in that nation but in the fourth generation their descendants, and yes that includes the Haitians too shall leave that country with great wealth. And if you believe the biothat predicted 400 years of slavery for the African. You must also believe this part. And since it was the Haitians who helped set the slaves free, not only here in the Bahamas and the Caribbean but throughout Southern States in the US/A. Be careful how you treat them!

You must know basic science (at least biology) to become a doctor. So basically speaking, Hubert Minnis is a scientist.
