Are all these killings related to the approaching planet 'x' or Niribu planet that is approaching our solar system and will be so close in September it can be seen with the naked eye. It is expected to eclipse r the sun in October and will have great magnetic effect on the earth. Is it the red dragon that is spoken about in Revelations 12. Signs and wonders of the last days. Violence will fill the earth.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni…

Bell is too busy campaigning to be bothered with crime and murder, and Nottage is in dire need of a retirement rocking chair. Maybe Nottage would rather stay quiet than admit he has no answers.

Twelve murders in twelve days! This has to be a record. A very dangerous precedent.

@ true true Bahamian and green tea. The only way to eliminate 'unwanted criminals ' is to stop breeding them and to stop tolerating them. It is true that the majority of persons killed since October are clearly identified as gang members. And many are of one gang in particular. But what efforts are being made to eliminate gangs in this country. What efforts are being made to stem gang activity. Many young boys are recruited or pressured into joining gangs at ages as young as 11 and 12. By the time they realize what gangs and gangbangin is about it is too late. They are already in too deep and must now swim with the tide. And unfortunately some pray for an early death. And the fact is many who are responsible for the demise and destruction of so many young and otherwise innocent souls will pay dearly. Not only here in the Bahamas but in many parts of the world. Guns are not made in the and neither is the drugs that are setting so many young people off. And while their children are tucked away (hopefully safely) in some Ivy League college of at some high paying job, they are busy pumping drugs and guns into poor and less fortunate neighborhoods. And they promote the rap music that promote violence and crime and murder. They make the movies and video games that teach young children to hate police and law and order and how to kill anyone including police that cross your line. They have waxed rich from causing misery and death and mayhem for millions. And they sit in their marble tiled offices with Persian rugs and champagne and cognac and cigars counting their millions. Highly respected persons in their communities. Yea right. But they will pay. It's already starting. Just google the States that are now reporting the highest incidences of drugs used and the highest incidences of overdosing even on prescription drugs. Judgment will come

If the killings continue at the rate the are at for the first six weeks of 2017, the country will easily record over 200 murders. With the exception of what was said at the PLP's convention and the mumblings of police officers from time to time after they scoop up another dead body, the government has been deafening silent about the large (and increasing) number of murders in the country. Whilst the commissioner maintains that the murders are not random, there's been several recent incidents where gunmen shot into crowds, not only killing victims but injuring others. Even as a sense of paranoia is growing in communities where killings are more frequent, little community effort is being made to combat these murders. If fact many are in a state of helplessness. Hopelessness as many say, "you know when you wake up every other morning someone get kill. You just have to listen to the news or go on Facebook to find out who it is. Maybe the time has come for police spokesmen to stop saying " he was a prolific offender that was known to police," to "This was a young man who had challenges. He had his brushes with the law but now look at his achievement today. " The constant murders, killings, executions, call them what you may, is making many numb to the seriousness of death, especially murder, the unexpected death that comes at the hands of another. Young men's hearts are becoming even more hardened as they grieve for or even witness friends and family being killed. And mothers too. While many will have to live and die with a broken heart after losing one or more children or other family members to murder, others will have to live with the fact that they bore them, and brought into the world, and raised and nourished raw bone, cold blooded and senseless, evil filled killers. Yes and many fathers too.

What they are currently doing in parts of the US is gathering information from a persons social media activity, including Facebook postings, Twitter, SnapChat etc. They build filles on individuals based on this information. For example they have over 18,000 of individuals in Chicago suspected of murder, gang activity, drugs or weapons or the like. When the president, Donald Trump, decides to send the military into Chicago, it is suspected that many of these individuals will be arrested and put in jail. Since their arrests will be under military law, there will not have to be specific charges and they can be held longer than under a regular police arrest. These files will then be used to interrogate and 'incriminate' them. Who doesn't find it strange that a major city. like Chicago, can only solve less than 1/3 of 756 murders. Their policy was to 'let them kill up each other.' When the military goes in they would know who the murderers and gang members are. Many may not survive being arrested or make it to court. Others may sit in Jail for long periods with no specific charges.

Strange that *The Tribune* would hide this story deep inside the Business section when it had so much headlines over the past two years about the boat thefts. And especially since the stealing of boats made international headlines and boaters were warned against bringing their boats to the Bahamas. *The Tribune* should be anxious to get the information out there that it was no all Bahamians that were behind the boat thefts and that some boaters were involved in scams to defraud their insurance companies by swapping their boats for ones less valuable and then claiming their boats were stolen. If they foreign boaters can go to that extreme, they could have also sold off their boats then steal ones to return to Florida or whatever destination they came from. Then either they would sell the boat when they got home or just leave it in a marina. Bahamians don't usually steal high end or luxury fishing boats because their presence in the hands of locals would be too obvious Except to do trafficking or other illicit activity. And if some of the legitimate owners were also involved in those activities and their boat is confiscated, most likely they will report it stolen.

As stated in early January: Based on the number of murders in the last quarter 2016, statistics indicate ther will be at least 55 murders before Election 2017. With barely a month and a half gone by, the country has recorded 21 murders. With over 3 months to go the picture looks grim. Most of the victims since October seem to be gang members and the only reason some may have met their demise is that they may have been linked to a gang or a faction of one gang in particular.

It is not only just a matter of them (PLP) winning the election. It's a matter of them saving themselves from the shame and embarrassment to the crooked and underhanded deals they did with Bah Mar and Carnival and your VAT money among other things. They want to try fix it and make look good before it gets in front of your eyesite. Cooked food with garnishings always look better than raw unprepared food.

Lightburn has always been a fence jumper. Getting old as Matusalem now. Time to sit he grey a$$ down and stop hanging out with coke soda
