Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. bishop Simeon Hall should have made a "clarion call" on the government to get rid of all nonessential ex-pat workers and allow our young people the opportunity to work and earn a living instead of being forced to hustle for survival!
Simeon Hall ignorantly makes the comparison of crime between white people and black people but turns a blind eye to the fact that **"white people" are employed and prospering** while black people are unemployed and left wanting.
Simeon Hall, the government and others standing around talking non-sense telling so-called "angry black men" to put down their guns" only proves that they are totally out of touch with the black unemployed populace who **"need those guns as tools"** to hustle a living!
Employment and opportunity to earn a living is the answer to crime. They must stop finding excuses for giving all the jobs to ex-pats and allow our people to work.
The murders and crime will continue until the government finally pull their heads out of their backside and actually "gets it".
Firstly, Mr. Dames needs to stop ignoring this mammoth problem and admit we have had this serious, well-known problem of police mistreatment and abuse of civilians forever!
The culture of police abuse stems back to the British and have escalated for the worse after their departure.
Pindling, Ingraham, and Christie administrations condoned and even encouraged police brutality 110% as did former police commissioners. Cops act as a group of out of control thugs, routinely terrorizing, and extorting civilians without fear of consequences.
Get rid of all the blue-collar ex-pats holding low skilled jobs and allow our young people to earn a living rather than "hustle" for survival and the murder count will be drastically reduced!
James Smith, Leslie Miller, and other clowns like them never have any positive suggestions about what efforts we as a country should be making to lift up unemployed Bahamians and teach them the skills and discipline needed to better themselves.
The looming reconstruction boom in Abaco and Freeport is a perfect opportunity for the government to focus on getting low skilled unemployed Bahamians trained, and back to work. Bring in the required tutors/instructors to teach them skills and proper discipline. Obviously, some will fall between the cracks, but the ones that do make the grade will become nation builders!
Jackasses like this, in decision-making positions, are the reason we are dam near outnumbered by Haitians today!
What the hell is wrong with James Smith and others with these idiotic, illogical, ideas about using Haitian labor and granting them status? Haitians have already dominated the construction industry while skilled Bahamians cannot find work!
We all know legal Haitians are the biggest sponsors to illegal Haitian migration and this jackass wants to regularise and grant more Haitians status? **hell no!**
Will Bahamian workers get any special "status" for working? Why the hell would we need to grant Haitians or any other workers any status or regularise them for work? If we decide it is in our best interest to use them or others, they will not be "making a positive contribution", in fact, they wouldn't be making any "contribution" whatsoever, as they would receive a day's pay for a day's work the same as Bahamian workers. No one pays for a "contribution"!
The big differences between the 30,000 Bahamians that went on the U.S. contract to work in fields during the second world war and Haitians that legally migrate to the Bahamas is that Bahamians did not routinely break U.S. laws and construct any illegal shantytowns, Bahamians did not create a parallel economy to evade U.S. taxes, Bahamians did not undermine U.S. immigration laws by relentlessly smuggling relatives and friends into the U.S., Bahamians did not deal in smuggling drugs, arms, and humans, Bahamians immediately blended in and assimilated with Americans, Bahamians became nation-builders not parasites of their hosts country!
With a population of just under 80,000 people, had 30,000 Bahamians in1943-1965 engaged in the clandestine, illegal, parasitic, activities in the U.S. as Haitians now perpetrate on the Bahamas, either the U.S. would have slammed their borders shut to Bahamians, or there wouldn't be any Bahamians left in the Bahamas today!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah **STFU** Davis, Mitchell, and Kelly.
The UBP, PLP, and FNM administrations are **equally responsible** for the education policies that purposefully retarded the country’s growth and national development, under educating the black majority in the country.
The proof is undeniably all around us for all to "suffer" every day!
While other countries were busy educating its people the UBP, PLP, and FNM were doing the exact opposite to such an extream that now we have ex-pats dominating whole sectors of the economy such as domestic workers and other low skilled blue-collar occupations that should be strictly reserved for our own low skilled people, and we are totally inundated with Haitians who now equal Bahamians in numbers! What other countries anywhere have ever allowed this type of migration?
The UBP, PLP, and FNM will be held 100% accountable for destroying our country and people just so a handful of pirates across the political divide could prosper!
Time is longer than rope. The UBP, PLP, and FNM Bay Street & Sunshine Boys cartels have run out of rope.
Blah, blah, blah, blah. Reports of 180+ Haitians caught coming in on a 30ft boat last week was swept under the rug!
Never mind electricity, what the hell is Minnis doing to address the steady influx of illegal Haitians being facilitated to enter the country by legally documented Haitians?
For every illegal Haitian caught, a legal documented Haitian should be expelled from the country. This would be a strong deterrent for documented Haitians to stop the practice of facilitating the smuggling of family members to the Bahamas.
Branville McCartney finally said something I totally agree with. However, the Bahamas being "a bit behind the eight-ball" in the medical marijuana industry, has to be the understatement of the year!
We are consistently "behind the eight-ball". Banking, development, tourism, immigration, mariculture, education, renewable energy, financial services, agriculture, and everything else other countries in the region came from way behind us in the '70s when we were leaders in tourism, banking, and financial services. They have now left us "doodling" speeding along, well on the way to nowhere.
In fact, the only thing the Bahamas "leads" in, compliments of Lynden Oscar Pindling, Hubert Alexander Ingraham and Perry Gladstone Christie, is asinine stupidity and collaborative political corruption!
While many regional countries have already implemented and are reaping huge profits from marijuana, as usual, the Bahamas is moving at a crippled snail's pace with something that would be of real significant benefit for our economy and people.
Which geniuses on the so-called "commission" decided forbidding medical marijuana for children under 18 was the way to go? Surly these geniuses are aware there are other ways of ingesting medical marijuana than smoking it?
Decriminalization of marijuana would provide a badly needed **instant boost** to our ailing, declining economy, free up much-needed space in Fox Hill prison, clear the courts' of any number of nuisance, petty possession offenses, to facilitate serious crimes, and allow the police extra manpower and time to deal with real criminals.
So what are we pondering? Stop the blah, blah, blah, blah, and get on with it! We are too self-righteous to get out of our own way!
Despite Mr. Russell's ongoing negative bias about people providing Airbnb accommodations throughout the country, he totally misses the point that these guests "SPEND" a great deal more directly into new areas of the local economy than regular hotel guests!
Local bars, restaurants, food stores, liquor stores, etc all over the island now benefit from tourism.
Instead of burdening people with taxes, the government should find ways of encouraging more involvement of inner-city homeowners to get involved with the Airbnb model. If allowed to grow, entrepreneurs will see the need for providing more amenities to service travelers which translates into a better-diversified tourism product, more jobs, and ultimately more taxes will reach the governments' coffers.
Complicating growth with taxes and unneeded regulations will be a major hindrance.
