Anyone who tries to justify over 100 Bahamian men, most under the age of 24, being murdered every year is probably part of the plan. to steal this country from the rightful inheirators. How do you divide and conquer?

You will know they are serious about stopping these murders when you see at least FIFTY persons brought to trial in the same year and the majority of them are convicted and given a life sentence in jail. Then how about a LIFO (last in first out) approach to scheduling murder cases, at least trmporarily until the situation is brought under control. So as soon as a murder case is ready, it goes to trial. With the evidence being fresh and witnisses being more availsble the chances of conviction will be grester. Once more persons are convicted of murder and given harsh prison time the carnage will stop. But as it stands now it appears that there is no punishment for murder except if and when the murdered is himself killed.

If many of the murders in this country are a result of the illegal drug trade and gang banging, then the most logical thing to do is to crack down on drug pushers and gang leaders. You kill a snake by attacking its head and the rest of its body will die with it.

Welcome to the Bahamas where law enforcement officials are now telling grieving families and the public in general, essentially that their loved one deserved to die because he "was wearing an ankle bracelet and had committed a seriously indictable offence." Never mind that his younger 14 year old brother was also shot execution style and is now fighting for his life. Never mind that the execution took place at one of the most sacred events that is hrld in the Bahamas. Don't let it bother you that the murder and attempted murder took place in the broad of daylight and on one of the most busiest highways in the city when the island was full of family visiting from the islands for another event that Bahamians hold close to their hearts. The fact is that the murdered one was a criminal wearing an ankle bracelet and involved in gang activities. Speaking of gangsterism, the commissioner ststed thst a number of murders are a result of gang warfare and the sale of illegal drugs. Despite laws being recently passed, how many persons have been charged with being a gang leader or even gang activity for that matter? Right at this moment Sandilands Rehabilition Center, on the male side, is filled to capacity with young men being treated for drug and substance abuse. The drugs on the streets today are stronger and more powerful than ever before and the victims of drug abuse are young men, some of whom are 9 and 10 graders. What measures are being put in place to deal with these drug dealers who are causing our young men to lose their minds?
