The fact that hotel casinos do not have Bahamians as patrons is even more reason they should be TAXED like Bahamians! This is NEW money coming into the country and government should get its fair share of taxes before the profits ( huge) are bundled up and shipped out of the country. Think of how stupid this Bahamians carry the largest portion of the tax burden ( not just for gambling) but foreigners control the most lucrative sectors of the economy and pay the LEAST amount of taxes. FIX IT !

Maybe you need to get a life and not worry about mines . The Bahamas may be considered a conflict zone and yes there were 58 murders here but over 170 mass shootings in the US in less than six months. A mass shooting is when three or more persons are shot. More policemen have been shot and killed in the US than the number of people murdered here. And now that the Supreme Court has lifted the ban on gun stocks expect tand increase in mass shootings. And if you had half the live I have you would have common sense and not be into publishing garbage juice.

Obviously you are the idiot and because if your low intelligence you must resort to name calling. And racism. O how the truth hurts. How painful it must be. As if crime and murder and corruption is exclusive to the BaHAMAS. When’s convicted felon is running for the presidency and the current president has been under investigation ( entire family basically) for financial improprieties and questionable business practices and associations even bozo the clown knows that most of the crime and violence in the BaHAMAS and many Caribbean countries spills over: is instigated from the United Ststed and that is why there are so many agents operating here with multi billion budgets. And that is why there is no peace and safety in Haiti because the foreigners and foreign companies continue to exploit that country and its people and its natural resources, not unlike what is happening here with tourism and the natural resources of this country. So before you gets to calling me an idiot go catch s suntan and make sure ya neck ain’t red.

PS the young man who shot the girl that visited his home was 17 not 28. He is remanded to Simpson Penn.

There were three unfortunate incidents over the weekend that ended in death and where the killers and victims were known or in some association with each other. There was this one, and the one where two brothers got into an altercation and the older brother struck the other one with his car, causing his death. Then there was the incident where a young woman showed up at a residence and was shot and killed by an 18 year old male. In relationships these days, people must know who they are getting involved with and know who that person is involved with. There are many incidences where someone will tell the other person they are single and they find out otherwise. And there are situations when someone may find out there is a third person in a relationship, but they still continue in that relationship that eventually ends in tragedy. And at least one person will lose their life.

Too bad you chose this i tragedy to spew your hate/filled garbage about The Bahamas again. When a family is in mourning and trying to cope with a painful situation. But the US had had over 170 mass shootings for the year and this is the lowest mass shootings in that country in six years. And in ninety percent of the mass shootings, the shooter has been some deranged, white person, as young as 15 and the victims have been Black or Brown people, who in most cases, have no connection to their killers. Ninety five percent of murders in this country are committed using guns and 100 percent of guns and ammunition used in murder and crimes in The Bahamas are produced in the United States. Until recently most of the murders and shootings in this country were between young men 28-40 years old. And do the other sectors of society were fairly safe unless they were unfortunately caught up in the crossfire. In the US no one is safe because everyone is a potential of random or planned mass shootings. And no institution is exempt from churches to schools to food stored to malls to night clubs to food stores to train stations to movie theaters.. no where. Even the White House and zca Capitol Hill had been targeted,

Well police are being held accountable when rogue officers indiscriminately use young, Black men for target practice, in some instances pumping over FIFTY rounds in one vehicle. And if you don’t think law and accountability is effective then explain why police involved shootings declined from a high of sixteen to a current count of TWO. Sorry for your loss still.

Don’t know who is/was responsible for the smuggling but this situation begs further investigation with conclusive action. The liquor merchants have been complaining for several years that their brands ( including Bud) are selling all over the country but they have no sales. At their sales are not reflecting the volume of sales they see going on. Same fit tobacco products. And in this current environment getting people to become whistleblowers or even being a witness to s situation may mean putting their lives in jeopardy.

Seems like everyone gone trigger happy. And the most difficult murders are ones that happen within families or persons known to each other. It tears families apart and murder certainly doesn’t solve problems. May their souls find peace.

Auditor General is/was officiallly retired.
