This was bound to happen sooner or later. Nature succeeded in doing what the Bahamas government refused to do for decades. Now the stupid government has to pay for housing, medical and everything else for illegals AND we are still stuck with them!
Where is Dion Lying Foulks, and white knight Haitian Smith?
All of the "forecasting" for this storm was wrong from the very beginning. How they determined it would be a non-event a few days ago never made sense.
New Providence will probably get a near or direct hit after the low pressure by Cuba moves westward.
police Commissioner Anthony Ferguson and everyone else in the country knows this is not a unique behavior for Bahamian police. Everyone knows the majority of police are nothing more than organized thugs that terrorize citizens at will and without consequence.
Successive PLP and FNM governments have always condoned and turned a blind eye to police brutality. This is common knowledge.
The only surprise here is caused by this matter being caught on camera forcing the police to discipline their officer.
Don't blame the officer! This culture of brutalizing and torturing citizens is what he was taught and all he knows!!
These people are suffering "long time" genuine grievances!
Add the frustrations of BPL and BTC's less than desirable services to this equation, and the only real big surprise here is why thousands more Bahamians aren't protesting!
Blah, blah, blah, blah. Successive administrations have repeatedly wasted time having this conversation with the D.R.
Obviously, the Dominicans consider Bahamians the same as Haitians.
Enough talk. The Bahamas would get their undivided attention if we followed Cuba's lead and simply open fire on any poachers found in our waters and burn and sink any boats caught!
We cannot expect to fix 40 years of corruption in 5 years. However, we do expect to have those PLP & FNM's responsible held accountable for destroying our country!
These people absconded with tons of the peoples' money and should be brought to justice just like anyone else.
How the hell does a person live on $210.00 per week? Even the proposed $250-$300 per week is not a livable wage in this country!
Every time I hear people commenting that Bahamians steal too much, I wish they would put themselves in the average Bahamians shoes and try to figure out how to survive on $250.00 per week. I certainly couldn't do it and wouldn't want to try!
It is unfair and hypocritical to grossly underpay people, forcing them to supplement income by stealing to survive meagerly, then condemn them for stealing.
Business owners are the real thieves with their huge houses, rental apartments, high-end cars, yachts, and expensive clothing, and excessive travel are the real culprits **stealing from the staff** by underpaying them to support lavish lifstyles!
The plp and fnm are equally responsible for the BPL mess and several others!
50 years of "self-rule" by these self-serving pirates have us $8B in debt, unemployed, under-educated, suffering without reliable power and phone services, and overwhelmed with expats repatriating money to home countries to the extent of destroying the commercial banking industry and ruining the economy!
**Peter is no better than Paul!** It took both PLP & FNM to "lead" us to where we now find ourselves.
Bahamians should be rioting in the streets demanding accountability!!

Astonishing that in a place globally known as a corrupt pirate laden country, the government cannot find one crook!
The PLP is not 100% responsible for the political injustices and piracy the country suffers.
If the FNM began by looking within themselves, they would have found several pirates in both parties.
