Hell with this country. All these PLP want is to take a picture. All these politicians smiling but aint nothing funny to the citizens. Still many people are without jobs, those that are graduating from college and are qualified cant even find jobs. First they say, you aint qualified, then you go and get qualified, then they say, but you dont have any experience. Its always an excuse for crookedness over here. When will the people wake up and start protesting for all the bullshxt that is going on? We rather sit back, relax, watch tv and be on the phone while no money comes in at the end of the week. Let us demand the slashing of these big hefty cheques that these MP's are receiving and see who really sticks around to govern this country. Then we will truly see who's in it for the country and who's in it for the money.

is this the same guy that raped his 'mother' that the tribune is disguising as 'a woman'? or is this a different rape case ? if it is a different one then thats 2 rapes within the space of a week.

This is utter nonsense. HPC knows that Nygard is or already gave up that alleged $5 million. He cannot deny that he does not have an improper relationship. The relationship/s are improper because it shows us the citizens and the public around the world that the PLP is ready to jump and skip toward anyone willing to invest money. Yes investments are good, but not good when majority of your 'neglected' lands are being auctioned off to the highest bidder. The country's debt is growing and growing and you just keep borrowing more and more, instead of finding ways to incorporate the people, provide the neccessary information so that the people know what it is that they are involved in. If it was not disclosed in your agenda for this 5 year term, it should not be undertaken. This is a democracy, the people vote for who they think/hope will help the Bahamas in the form of governance. The people vote for what you are proposing to do/accomplish in your agenda. This matter has not been disclosed. This is an investment for Nygard, not a donation. Do not for any reason think that Nygard is not going to benefit from this more than the people you are trying to help with this. Just like the picture of Margaret in PMH, there will also be a portrait of Nygard in the alleged 'stem cell facility'. There is much more than meets the eye and when you always try to defend/deny your obvious dealings to the public, it only shows the true intention of you, your party, and government. This is why the freedom of information is so important. So the citizens themselves can see where and how the line is drawn in order to better determine what is being done, the risk vs reward, and ultimately who is right to govern next.

If ya start HANGIN these murderers and crooks. The thieves/criminals will HUMBLE themselves. Hanging Execution is not banned here, it just has not happened in over a decade. This government could start hanging at any time! I dont see Barbados or Trinidad abolishing execution and they are still apart of the commonwealth. The government needs to focus on what we need rather than what other people are doing, let them stay right there minding this European Union on abolishing Execution. This country is spinning wildly out of control. This is not Europe!The Queen is only still head of the state because we are using her political system and I cant recall the last time she stepped foot in the Bahamas. Something to think about. People think about morals when it come to executions but you need to ask yourselves, were these blatant criminals & murderers concerned about MORALS when they are out there killing like savage beasts? We Bahamians need to stop hating each other and work together, its too much jealousy and spitefulness going today.

Sound's like these women are losing their pride. Time to think about expansion of the Female prison, its filling up like the all male Fox Hill. This country and its economic state are driving persons toward some serious desperate acts.

These copper thieves are blatant. Prime example: My grandmother came home one day and found a man in her back yard with a saw just hacking away at a discontinued water and sewage pipe. Yes the pipe is made of copper, had been there for years, and no longer being used. But how does this individual find himself on someones property taking something that is not even their own? This is one out the many incidents that this copper export is causing. She was scared to run the man away because he was armed with a hack saw and machete just hacking away out of desperation. If she had even tried to stop him or threaten him about it, he could have easily turned on her and the outcome could have been even worse. It only goes to show you the audacity and blatant disrespect these individuals have who make it their job to steal and scavenge around for this easy money metal.

Tal, Mr Miller was interviewed and said that he saw the two guys running from his building where they eventually discovered was vandalized. Anyone responsible enough to have a licensed firearm knows who to fire it at especially in this case. I mean the government just does not give out gun licenses like drivers licenses. There is a lot of investigation involved before you can even be considered eligible to own a gun. The government knows the liability of arming the public, and these licenses are very hard to come by. Mr Miller acted in the right way.

So what if it was you comrade Tal, Im sure you are more intelligent than that. If you come home or to your business and find thieves running away from destroying your property and with all your hard earned assets and you have licensed weapon on hand, are you not going to use it? Who said he was firing bullets wildly, were you there? Why would someone be in the back there by Robin Hood/Marios "innocently taking a leak in the bushes" That 'bushes' is property that belongs to somebody. As far as Mr. Miller knows, his weapon is licensed and he is firing in the direction of the thieves and, so what if they get injured or killed. That is the risk that these thieves take. They are thieves, not persons to have compassion for.

Its Funny how this is yesterday's news. I condone Leslie Miller for firing at those thieves. The thieves have no right to be on his property and no right to be stealing thousands of dollars worth of copper. He has a right to do what he did. I think that it could even be some of those former and/or current BEC workers because they know exactly where the copper is and how steal it, even from those high voltage components. The lousy police take hours to arrive anyway and by time they arrive, they only take notes/evidence and then you never hear from them or about your incident again. It is the government that is to be blamed for even allowing the export of copper and we don't even produce it. That's why the thieves are encouraged to steal it. It is easy money. The thieves now a days are disrespectful and blatant and if they are doing this in broad daylight it really shows how the morality in this country is lost. Even the churches are being targeted. This country for sale is going down, deeper than hell.

I agree with the more restaurants. Downtown Baystreet literally has a shut down time which is probably around 7pm with a handful of nightlife. In the evening, almost the entire baystreet is shut down apart from a handful of nightclubs that are scattered around. To be more effective, there really needs to be a focus on parking. Parking downtown is a nightmare and discouraging to some because of the long distances and security threats such as break ins and even car theft. If their can be better 'protected' parking that could encourage a lot more people to go downtown as well. There are also a lot of abandoned buildings that scold the beauty of downtown, many must go and take an assessment of what buildings are needed and what buildings need to be torn down.
