‘Does it mean he has been arrested before?’ Maybe but what is the revelance? Do you know that the police, assisted by defense force officers, go into certain areas of New Providence and lock up every young male they see? They keep them locked up for 48 hours verbally and physically abusing them and refusing to allow anyone to see them. Some of these young men have good jobs that they lose because of the s type of police action. Others are high school or college students. Some have fake or trump up charges put on them that they have to spend years going back and forth to court to defend. This type of police action have destroyed more young men and caused them to turn anti social than any gang in the country. And the senior police who order this type action needs to be investigated, and jailed.

When China finds CIA agents doing what they are doing in the Bahamas and the Caribbean they execute them by firing squad, no questions asked.. but our (senior) police still join forces with them to kill our young men.. The Bible calls them ‘dumb DOGS that refuse to bark’. They take advantage of the widows and the fatherless.

The next step now is to stop looking at Haitians dem as our enemies. They were the ones most active in bringing slavery to an end and helping to set ‘the captives ‘ free even after slavery was abolished. We may not be able to accommodate them flooding into this country but our (The Bahamas) voice can be heard on the world stage demanding they stop be discriminated against and economically blacklisted. Do you realize if countries in the Caribbean and Africa and Mexico and South America was to form a union similar to what was formed by the EU, it would be the most powerful organization in the world. Even Japan and China would be sleeping on our doorsteps to get trade agreements.

Usually after a story like this appears in the media shots start to ring out again and more persons are killed. But it is no doubt that all matters of homicide should be thoroughly investigated even those involving the police. What stopped unjustified killings by police with our neighbors to the north was when society decided that they will no longer sit back and let their young men be killed by police. And so not the police are more accountable and less willing to use deadly force in even a simple traffic stop. There are agencies of other countries broadcasting that theire are fiftysix gangs operating in The Bahamas and pose a threat of becoming terrorists. They also falsely state that many young men are involved in drug trafficking and have the potential to become drug cartels. But When you drive around the streets of New Providence where do you see 56 gangs? Everyone is struggling to get food to eat and keep a roof over their heads, or at least part of it, and young men will tell you they are not into ‘no hand vibe.’ But these agencies armed with false information encourage the police to attack and assault the young men and the violence and killings escalate from there... just watch for yourselves.

Good thinking. Persons have been asking for a Mini Defense Base in the South for decades. Not only because of the Illegals problem but also because of poaching. And now this puts more pressure on human smugglers who may have charged to bring their cargo to New Providence but are now being cut off at the pass without the immigrants even seeing sight of Nassau.

Some think this is just a deflection of the investigation of Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia and that country’s interference in the recent US Elections.

In the maint time Britain has expelled 33 Russian diplomats in response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter. Britain’s Secretary of State is convinced that it was Russia who poisoned the former spy. She claims it is Putin’s way of sending a message to his people around the world: ‘If you defect, you die!’

IAnyone who takes mudda-was- sick (in her head) posts seriously must also be sick. Obviously the poster is a paid sour grape to post disparaging things about The Bahamas, most that exist only in his sick mind. But despite the rantings It is still better in The Bahamas. And obviously he is here because he doesn’t want to be no where else (or is not wanred anywhere else) but The Bahamas. Love it or Leave it!

Moving forward major resorts like Atlantis, Bah Mar Albany should be made to provide unhindered beach access at each end of their properties with parking where beach visitors don’t have their cars towed. Persons who sell Beach front lost should be required to provide open (public spaces between every 10 or 12 lots and gated communities like Lyford Cay and old fort l should also provide public beaches. Better yet do like is done in many other places where the road ( with parking) runs along the beaches and everyone has full access
