If this is an accurate account of what actually happened, then good riddance to bad trash. We don't need to waste resources on legal fees, medical,food and housing for low life scum that threaten cops with guns!
However, cops in general are known to plant evidence and fabricate situations as well so police body cameras are also welcomed to help keep cops honest.
**joeblow** thank you for the sole rational response so far on this issue! Why people berate Bahamians for being patriotic is an unsolved mystery that we could care less about.
Nobody ever complains about patriotic Haitians lobbying for illegal immigrants, but as soon as a Bahamian says something patriotic, it is immediately labeled as xenophobic!
If that is the case, then we need **much more** xenophobia in the Bahamas. Bahamians certainly cannot migrate to Haiti, Jamaica, America, Canada or anywhere else and benefit minutely as much as these foreigners do coming here.
Unquestionably, Bahamians have been systematically marginalized for decades, firstly by none other than the very people we repeatedly voted into power, that routinely placed more interest in foreigners than our own people. i.e. who was the political jackass genius that decided to reward illegal Haitian migrants being repatriated a $250.00 bonus for breaking our immigration laws? NOBODY will take responsibility for this asinine stupidity.
Secondly, many foreigners with only basic skills and education that couldn't make a decent living in home countries migrated to the Bahamas with less than nothing, other than a different complexion or nationality find it easy to climb the totem pole in the Bahamas because they are taken under the wings of others that came before them and introduced to prejudiced employers who cannot deal with intelligent, black Bahamians with a backbone!
The Bahamas needs a 100,000% increase in patriotic xenophobia to protect the Bahamas for future generations of Bahamians!
You've totally failed to comprehend the subject matter. "Competing for foreign entrepreneurs" is necessary on a global scale and is not the argument being debated!
America and Canada did not become economic powerhouses by destroying local entrepreneurship. Which this proposed bill will undoubtedly accomplish. In fact "going foreign" is what destroyed Americas manufacturing economic base, and caused Donald Trumps "make America great again" slogan so successful!
Had they mentioned this intention prior to the election, the outcome would have been drastically different as the majority of us, especially business owners and others aspiring to business ownership, would not have voted for them!
Bahamians now only own a minuscule portion of the economy. This bill would destroy what little we own, and effectively lock Bahamians out of economic participation as we cannot compete with foreigns with capital and do not have ready access to capital outside of purchasing cars.
This "Commercial Enterprises Bill" translates to "Destroy Bahamian Entrepreneurial Bill"!
Foreigner's with easy access to $250,000 are a dime a dozen. If we are foolish enough to allow this to pass, every small business in the country will be besieged by foreign competition who's only criteria will be to start a competing business larger than an existing successful Bahamian owned business thereby succeeding in destroying local struggling entrepreneurs and only succeed in further foreign ownership of the economy, flight of profits to other jurisdictions and continued degradation of the local economy.
Bahamians that have struggled for decades building small businesses for successive generations will be wiped off the map overnight as foreigners' come in better capitalized, with incentives not afforded to locals and duplicate the Bahamians business! **s-t-u-p-i-d!**
From the domestic industry to construction, hotels, and banking, foreigner's have displaced Bahamians over the decades without training Bahamians. Why would we suddenly think this culture of the genocide of Bahamian workers will change?
A governments' primary function is to protect its citizenry. A prime example is Bermuda, which has closed and restricted categories of jobs and businesses to protect lower skilled opportunities for Bermudians only.
Which government had any success “limiting the amount of any work permits that will need to be issued, ensuring that Bahamians are the priority.”? The current absolute disaster now faced in immigration where the ministers' solution is to simply rubber stamp all applicants? Where's the "Bahamian priority" in that?
Which investing companies to date made an investment in training Bahamian employees so that they were able to work and prosper in new roles that were created in any business to date, ensuring that Bahamian employees were given the opportunity to work at all levels of the company making the investment?
The "Commercial Enterprises Bill" throwing open the doors to anybody to do anything is asinine!
Hubert Ingraham made much more than that disappear! Being a dictator, he was just a lot better at controlling his pirates than Perry Christie!
Anyone believing Rahming acted without Ingrahams play by play direction needs to visit Shane Gibson.
Ingraham really slipped up and showed his true colors when Vincent Vanderpool Wallace was exposed just before 2012 elections having shell companies with $5M of public funds and "clean hands" Ingraham gave us that stupid grinned of his and quickly swept the matter under the rug never to be heard about again!
One thing Branville got right was naming them "Hubert Christie and Perry Ingraham" two peas in the same pod with one being dumber than the other.
The Bahamas is a prime example that gaining independence is useless without having economic empowerment and control of the countries natural resources to benefit its people.
Zimbabwe has abundant natural resources including gold, coal, iron ore, chromium ore, cobalt, vanadium, asbestos, nickel, copper, lithium, tin, platinum group metals and confirmation of oil. Yet, the country has 92% unemployment, rampant poverty, and a high crime rate!
Likened to the Bahamas, a handful of greedy individuals pulling the strings of corrupt political puppets have stolen the natural resource birthright of Zimbabwe's people for decades.
Haitians are masters of exploiting their children. Unfortunate for the children, but the U.S. and the Bahamas should ignore this ploy and send every damn one of them back to the cesspool which will cause a change in their behavior and put a stop to Haitians breeding for status in someone else's country!
PM Minnis needs to understand that his governance controls what the media reports! He needs to focus on his "peoples time mandate" and do that which he promised on the campaign trail and he will succeed in **creating the news he wants!**
Media is stuck in pre-May 10, 2017. PM Sheriff Minnis 180 degree turn in governance is creating a new culture and a new reality, which media will need time to digest and conform to.
Journalists find themselves totally dumbfounded by the recent lull in murders, armed robberies, home invasions, and the usual fare of gut-wrenching, horrific news that we have become so accustomed to.
Where are the hypercritical analytical journalists and media that are accustomed to jumping all over the prime minister and minister of national security on daily bases about crime? Why aren't they analyzing, reporting and splashing good news about the decline in crime across headlines? After decades of corrupt failed, asinine governance, media has very limited experience in reporting good news!
The fact that media now find themselves scrapping for sensational news proves PM Minnis is on the right track and this is good news!
