@baldbeardedbahamian: you sound so much like Donald Trump and even Hillary Clinton even: Donald Trump doesn’t care the reason, he is just offended that football and basketball players kneel during the (US’s) national anthem. And Hillary Clinton’s husband is the one who signed into law the increcation of young Black and Hispanic males for long periods of time for minor infractions of the law. Then these young men became guinea pigs in her experiments to turn them into super predators where they would turn on and kill each other at the drop of a hat. (More like seeing certain colors in Chicago and Compton and other poverty stricken Black and Hispanic communities. The drugs are so effective Hillary had planned to round up these young men in Chicago and St Louis and other cities where the experiments took place and put them away permanently as ‘damaged goods’. You know the time. The actual intended use of this drugs in in the armed forces where soldiers, marines and air men will become unleashed and fearless. Once set loose on the enemy they will go after them unrestricted. Either they will die in battle or have to be put away as ‘damaged goods’ if they returned.

BPL fried everything in my house in May this year. Fridge, a/c’s, cordless phones, computer router. And when you fix them there was another surge. So I left everything off for five months. My light bill cut in half so now I may decide to replace the fridge and computer. No Ac til next year believe that!

Not in the least. And why would you even suggest it. Many of them have never heard of Islam. Their fight is a local one, even though many may have the outside influences of gangs, movies and music and of course drugs. More resources need to be spent before the become crime active and eventually killers. Maybe there is a desperate need to institutionalize more of our young men between the ages of 16 and 17 when they leave school and 21-22. This is the age group that seems most vulnerable to crime, gangs and murder. After high school there’s nothing to keep many of them socialized. Some don’t have jobs or the finances to go to college. When I was in college there was a program called Upward Bound. This was made up of students who did not meet the GPA to get into college but they were admitted under the condition that they would be restricted on the number of classes they could take. They had tutors available to them and also academic advisors who were trained counselors. The success rate of this program was 80%. But there was also a community extension program. Not only did it help the students in the program to find jobs and moniter them but it also helped those who didn’t make it at college. Many young men come from homes where there are no fathers or male role models. Maybe it’s time to put an adapted version of ‘Upward Bound’ in place. Some may say there is a program already in place. But this one will require young men (and women) to enroll or be enrolled on leaving high scans remain in the program until they attain the age of 21. The program will assist those who want to go to college and also those in finding jobs. There are many retired policemen, teachers and other professionals who can come in and assist these young men.

Anything is worth a try to reduce the number of dead bodies due to murder, being scraped up of the streets and elsewhere.

So let’s get this right: BPL staff are among the highest paid in the country right? But yet ‘because of hard times these workers are allowed to run up electricity bills at BPL. But yet some of these same workers went out on the street and disconnected the lights of unemployed mothers, home with sick and elderly persons. Homes where people were struggling to make ends meet. And in all their glory and in the absence of shame they were not paying the same bills they were disconnecting other people for. Does the bottle of foolishness ever get empty? This is surely too much to drink.

Police and the judiciary and the public at large must come to understand the nature of these young men who are committing murders today. Unlike murders that happened in the past, where persons were killed in a physical confrontation where someone was fighting for their lives, these persons are now cold blooded killers, angry, determined, and fearless. They respect not the laws of man, nor the judgment of God Almighty. Life or nothing else is sacred to them. And after they kill they will lurk around for the opportunity to kill again, if they are not captured and jailed and even in jail they live it up with a smirk on their face and ‘stripes ‘ for the deed they have done. They believe that death, for them, is an early escape from the suffering Tuareg now going through, be it real or perceived. The only way to get them is to break this wicked, demonic spirit that possesses them. Either you do it before they commit crimes like murder or you break them while in prison. But as they operate now they see nothing wrong with what they rate doing. They see themselves as soldiers on the battlefield. Kill or be killed. So end the war.

Bradley Roberts is suffering from ‘Viagra to the brain ‘... he thinks like a penis.

So if you are a professional person like a pilot, or accountant or dentist or in Dr. Sands case, a specialist heart surgeon and you become a member of the cabinet and remain for five years, how do you stay current in your profession? If one does not get any practice in five years can he/she still be effective after five years absent? All that medical school money goes down the drain?

Hubert Minnis ranting was just a cheap imitation of Donald Trump... and it backfired

In just a few weeks it will make six months since Marvin Dames took over as Minister of National Security and a short time later Ellison Greenslade was ‘retired ‘ as commissioner of police. Yet the country continues to record double digit murders, consistently since October of 2016. A while the detection rate for murders has apparently increased over the past months, the vexing crime continues unabated. In fact the country may record its second highest murder count this year. There needs to be an effective deterrent in the absence of The privy council allowing capital punishment. In the main time, despite recording over 550 murders for the year, thus far, The World Travel Association has listed Chicago among the top 20 safest cities. Their claim is despite the high number of murders the city is still relatively safe because the murders are among specific gangs and the ordinary citizens are safe. Well some people say they had to leave Chicago because gunshots can be heard all hours of the day and night.

Many (young) Bahamians have already had the experience of this "monitoring of social media accounts." A number who applied for student visas has their applications denied despite having good grades and good finances and character references. But apparently they had made posts on their Facebook page or in other social media, promoting guns, violence drug use or the like. It only takes something small to get your visa denied. So "Big Brother" is only making official, what he has been doing for years.
