Yes, But look what happened in Canada! Cannabis was legalized there and, for the most part, people treat each other with dignity and respect. We can't have that!!
A missing point is that there are a large number of people willing to pay these taxes or user fees or whatever they are called because of the very positive things the Bahamas offers as a vacation destination. These positive things should be magnified and promoted so that more tourist revenue can be generated and re-invested. Then, over time, as debt is paid down, the user fees can be reduced.
While I hope you are right, the Canadian navy is quite old and maintained only by the can-do spirit of the personnel, and, I'm at a loss to understand how parking an aging naval vessel in port is going to stop gun-related shenanigans a few blocks away.
Sounds like a whole bunch of people whose job it is to stay calm got excited.
Protests like this happen almost everywhere world leaders convene. Putting up barricades is commonly done to keep the protesters away from the attendees. But it's usually done in advance.
Next time be better prepared to let protesters have their protest and make certain no harm comes to anyone.
