Smith also encourages people to break the law. Did he not advise immigrants that they cannot be arrested by immigration officers? Did he not say running away from law enforcement was acceptable? We cannot pick whose comments were more callous based on who they where directed to or against.

Fights for all? He fights for non-bahamains. And no, there is no difference between him calling for a bloody revolution many years ago and Munroe's comment. I have also not heard of Munroe making light of the holocaust by claiming the Bahamas was operating as such. If you choose to see a line between Munroe and Smith, it's an extremely thin one.

If Munroe's tittle is stripped, so should Fred Smith's. He has made equally distasteful remarks over the years. But I'm not surprised by the hypocrisy of this group, not at all!

It is too bad that the QC title does not consider dumb @ss comments as qualification. If that were the case Fred Smith's bloody revolution comment from 20+ years ago would have disqualified him from ever having that distinction.

I guess you're pro human rights too? In the Bahamas that's the institutionalized phrase for being full of BS and loathing for the country you call home. By the way, Fred Smith does an equally fine job tying up the court system with his nonsense cases that ensure the human traffickers keep the immigrants flowing and his law practice supplied.

I'm giving my opinion, just as the ambassador did. And like I said in my prior post...I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy in all this. Everyone's coming out of the woodworks over a comment...but are silent on the real issues that are presently taking human lives. I call BS when I read it, that's it.

Speak for yourself, please. I see both Haitians and Bahamians as human beings...but the latter seems to be missing from the pro immigration minds as you carry on about the disenfranchised Haitian and all of their rights. I see this faux concern over the flogging comment as hypocritical nonsense. Furthermore, while I am all for Haitians achieving a better quality of life, it cannot be done without dragging the Bahamas to Haiti's level. In ten years, I hope you have as much concern and compassion for the Bahamians fleeing their effed up country...but I seriously doubt you would.

Rich really? A Bahamian medical student was shot in Connecticut. The officer was cleared of wrong doing because, they determined, of the young man's actions prior to contact with officer. Wasn't this young man also accused of illegally residing, disorderly conduct with officers and resisting arrest which contributed to his non fatal injuries? Clarify the difference for me.

The gun was accidentally discharged, it means he could have been shot anywhere. Thankfully, it was not fatal.
