How many have heard of hurricane Patricia? This storm is now about to cross the Mexican Penesula . According to the Mia Hurricane Center this is the most powerful hurricane they have ever recorded. It has winds of 220 mph around the center of a well formed eyeball. That is the cruising speed of a jet liner! The storm has the potential to become catastrophic. Is this an indication of things to come?

The country is in a state of emergency! But yet there are careless and care less government officials who are about destroying homesteads and making another few hundred people homeless. Imagine the drain on the public purse vis a vid social services and national insurance.

A sad situation for many. Does this mean China Construction and China Bank will take over funding of the completions of the project. If the gover tries to provide funding the country will sink. Financially!

These are the ones who become 'professional jailbirds" or hardened criminals. Others are released from jail accused with crimes they may not have committed and were never brought to trial for and meet their demise with these charges behind their names. The report of their deaths in the news never fails to mention that 'this individual was known to police", or he was wearing an ankle monitoring bracelet, or he had some very serious charges on him. While it is the responsibility of the legal system to bring criminals and law breakers to justice, it has even more responsibility to ensure that innocent, law abiding citizens do now become victims of misplaced justice or victimization.

Why does Fred Mitchell have to make enquiries about something that is public knowledge? Everyone knows that this country's prison is the worst nightmare anyone could experience. And since so many young men are winding up there, weather innocent or guilty, now is the time to address the below humane standards at the prison, if only from a health point of view. You say the shanty towns are a health hazard, but the prison environment is ten times worse. Why do grown men have to still be going to the toilet on waste cans that have to remain in overcrowded cells and then physically dumped? If it is bad enough for the shanty towns, don't you think its worse for persons kept in closed quarters for most of the time? Set a goal and allocate finances to have the entire prison compound outfitted with proper waste systems within three years. especially in the areas of remand where persons may be innocent. Remember these persons will eventually have to return to society. Why wait until the "IT" hits the press to make enquiries?
As for the young man being caught up in the legal system for a decade, this is not the first story of its kind. Young men have told stories of being 'profiled' by the police and having charges placed on them. As fast as they clear up one matter, another charge is put on them. Eventually some give up fighting

your caring governmet is busy destroying shanty towns, worrying about who is sleeping in parliament, putting out "suspicious" fires in shanty towns, blaming the metrological department for not warning y'all, the met department, who seems full of it too, the murder rate and crime escalating, lambasting persons who did try to help you'all out with no thanks, trying to fix Bah Mar along, the national debt,and with other stuff.to be worried about the hurricane ordeal in Bahamas South and how almost everyone went through three days of near death experiences but survived, only by the grace of our God, and how almost everything except human life was not spared, ask us for help? Can you wait at least until election time to beg them for help? Can you? help and hope is on the way

actually the artist said the hibiscus pistal is an assault rifle the represents crime, and the flower itself represents the 'pretty picture' government is trying to paint about crime..powerful. The necktie with the Chinese flag represents the strangle hold the Chinese are putting on this country.
