Only by luck was this American jogger not harmed. I’ve said it before and will say it again, we are just one incident away from a total economic disaster in the Bahamas. If one foreign visitor gets brutally harmed, or worse killed, that will put a fork in the ever soooo fragile economy here. A tettering economy will be pushed over the hill if the travel advisory is upgraded and people stop vacationing here. Remember comrades, we are a society that is based on tourism. Take away the tourist dollar and watch the whole thing collapse. I’m not sure why the power to be can’t see this plainly. Open your eyes or they will be opened for you!! It only a matter of time, until statically, this happens. Then it will be too late.
Where is this supposive gun? Are we expected to believe that the motorcycle driver, obviously common sense would tell you he wasn’t the blind man, was able to flee on a motorcycle with a rider on the back and point a gun at the police at the same time? Please! Two hands are needed to operate a motorcycle and accelerate, especially with a rider on the back. If the rider had a gun and was shot dead by police I would expect the police to have the weapon in their possession. Something doesn’t smell right about this. The people have a right to be upset when police actions don’t match up with the circumstances that surround.
Oh please....this government needs to quit fooling themselves. An average of 12 murders a month is insane for the country’s population count....no wonder it’s on the travel alert list....it should be!!! Remember that tourism is the lifeblood of this country. You can’t expect people traveling on “vacation” to overlook this statistic. People from the US and Canada would never take a family vacation in the murder riddled back streets Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago etc....common sense says they just don’t! Nor do people want to move or own property in such areas of crime. The beautiful water and beaches don’t make up the slack for safety. (And for the record, the Bahamas murder rate mirrors the worst US cities) De’ Aguilar needs to stop sugar coating the obvious and the government needs to wise up on crime and take back our country from criminals before its #1 asset (tourism) starts to dry up. Not to mention Duty and VAT would also be gravely affected as well. So far it hasn’t happened yet, thank God, but we are only one single foreigner murder away from a tourism catastrophe for this country. It’s bound to happen statically. Then what? The government teeters on the economic brink as it is...remove the tourism dollar and you can stick a fork on our economy for good.
