The good thing about me is I ain’t God Almighty. And even better is I don’t pretend to be. And better yet, I don’t want the job, couldn’t handle it. I wouldn’t even want the job that Hubert Minnis has not to mention Donald Trump. Not to be ashamed ever of not having all the answers and not feeling weak for not having the power to fix all things that are wrong . At least the ability to control over hate and other negative things. Despite what they may say about Donald Trump he has not killed anyone. And despite
BTW two more young men, including one who was apparently blind, were shot and killed by police last night. brings total to 5 in less than months. Is the murder count declining yet?
your rationale does not compute with reality. Most of the young men turning to criminal activity were raised by single parents where they were not beaten. in fact for many of them their first experience with violence and or physical abuse came from outside the home. school bullying, or even interaction with police. And don't forget black folk were beaten, mutilated, maimed and killed mercilessly during hundreds of years of slavery. Think that has anything to do with it?
Two : It is a sad reality that families are depositing family members in the hospital and walking away because they cannot care for them. These are usually older persons in the family and an even sadder reality is that some families cannot afford to care for their elderly. But what is even more depressing is that long and sustained economic hardship is causing many young people, males especially, to become homeless. Some families stay in apartments and run up the rent because either only one or none in the family is employed. So they are evicted and have to leave everything behind except their clothes because they have no where to take them. Some were also displaced due to hurricane, fire of family break-ups. Likewise is when banks foreclosures on a mortgage and takes the family home. Usually the females in the family are accommodated but many of the young men are left drifting between family and friends. Some would even go and stay in the shantytowns until they get on their feet, but government’s recent actions of bulldozing and flattening these villages have made this not an alternative. The fact is there are many persons and families living below the property line, some through no fault of their own. And if you live in Lyford Cay or Old Fort Bay, or Westridge or even Stapleton you will say yes, bulldoze the shantytown or condemn the houses that do not have running water. But you do this out of ignorance to reality. No one really wants these things in their country but as long as there are poor people and unemployed persons and sick people who are unable to work, these things will pop up. Just drive under the br on any given night and see the number seeking a place there. Hopefully the upcoming census will count the number of homeless people in this country so the government can seek to address the problem.
Two things: 1. The time has come for government to identify property and begin construction of a new hospital or alternative care facility. Yes, the cry will be that the country is broke and cannot afford a hospital. One response is that the country gave away over $1 Billion in concessions to one development. But reality is the project can be extended over a period of years so that it can be made affordable. Government already owns land. So it can start with let’s say an emergency and trauma center. Then add clinics and out patient care, then pharmacy and other ancillary services. Until a full fledged hospital is completed over a period of say 10 years. And as pressure of over crowding and high volume is reduced at PMH, each portion of that facility is renovated and/or reconstructed. So eventually there will be two fairly modern health care facilities and rather than duplicating all services, each one can concentrate on specialized care.
Not in defense of murder or crime but The countries that put out travel warnings have 15 year old students shooting up and killing their school mates and young girls as young as 11 and 12 being molested and sexually assaulted by a trained and well respected athletic doctor. Hundreds of them molested, some hundreds of times. The point is crime is a universal problem. So no need to sit like you on jelly beans when pins and needles sticking you too.
