Can someone please translate what Tal said.

With 86 murders thus far this year and a possible 130 possible before the end of the year no threats of death or physical harm should be taken lightly. And if a government fails to carry out its duties for fear of repercussions, then that is a failed government. But unless Marvin Dames knows something the rest of us does not know, he should not give the impression of 'I dare you to touch us, any one of us.' Truth and reality is there are some sick, twisted minded individuals in this country who are loyal and will be loyal to politicians and political parties regardless of the circumstance. And the feel it is their duty and responsibility to protect politicians and party at any cost. Couple with that the detection rate for murder in this country is declining and the conviction rate, especially for this year is around 10%. Death threats should not be taken lightly.

Where them jackasses who always criticizes Bahamians? Go suck 🍋 lemons and limes

BoB was a viable and profitable institution before government's interference. It was putting money by way of dividends and share price increases into the hands of local Bahamians and into the government coffers. Government (PLP) is the one that raided the bank by way of political loans and made the bank insolvent. So government should be the one bearing the financial burden in attempts to make the bank whole. Sad is the person that thinks the bank should be closed and mothballed after it has proven its success. Make the people (political) who still owe pay their loans.

Actually YOU missed the point! You claim" Persons convicted of violent crimes (murder, rape, armed robbery, etc.) should never be allowed out on bail, period."
these persons let out on bail are not convicted.. They are are merely charged. Many claim their innocence and want to go to trial to prove their innocence. But rather than this happening for many of them, they are kept in jail, not convicted, then let out to be executed. Meaning there is a strong possibility that they are innocent and the real killer(s) and other violent criminals go free.

you go girl!!!

Sadly another person was murdered in the cowpea area this morning. Bring the total according to some records to 86. With basically 5 months left in 2017, the country is set to record over 130 murders this year.

There is something sinister about the murders in this country and the number of persons who are charged with murder but never make it to trial. Despite the number of murders being solved declining, many of the persons who are charged with murder claim their innocence and some request a speedy trial. However many are kept in jail until they qualify for bail and almost as soon as they walk out the prison gates they are gunned down and killed. This in no way can be considered vigilante justice because except for being charged there is little proof that the,person now also a victim of murder, committed the crime. And so the number of murders in the country continues unabated, increasingly even. And the number of persons charged and convicted of murder decreases. Some feel that there are forces acting witothe police force itself that may be behind some murders especially those of released persons. Some believe the the police force has been infiltrated with gang members who use the guise of their uniform to do devious deeds and get away undetected. Whatever the situation the country cannot go on losing close to 150 young men each year to murder. And with three former MP's being charged and released on bail everyone is watching to see if they will see their trial dates.

Great runnings

Thats why the bail out was not effective in bailing out the BoB
