The public doesnt have a "*responsibility*" to do anything
Theyre not being paid. They dont have a job title and theyre not on any committee. Yes it would certainly be helpful and in society's best interest if the police got assistance, but theres no "*responsibility*"
If we want to talk about "*responsibility*", lets start with Nygard charges, FTX charges, Red light running, FOIA, Fiscal Reporting Council and the PAC. Show us what responsibility looks like
Almost certain these guys have to blank their minds out with marijuana and who knows what else to commit these murdersthen double the intake to blank their mind of the carnage
"*, he didn’t mention the death in New Providence, and persons admitted to critical care beds even now,” he said*.
*“I was surprised that he didn’t mention the fact that the COVID ward in Grand Bahama was full.*"
I did not know this, it means we've been exposed to a variant for which we have little or no immunity. I agree with Dr Sands, when your ER and hospital beds start to fill with persons having difficulty breathing your entire health system could be facing an issue. Nobody fakes a pneumonia. and its not a pleasant experience.
Someone died. Yes it was one in 450k. But to their family that doesnt matter. Ive always thought that our COVID death numbers were underreported, still a small fraction of the population but underreported. The only people who are reported to die from COVID are those who die in hospital. If you collapse at home, even when otherwise 100% healthy, thats just a sudden death.
Washing hands wont hurt anybody is what I say. And no I never supported mass vaccination, not when it was clear less than 1% of the population had severe symptoms. I supported definition of vulnerable and targeting them
Im not certain how much notice employers have to provide employees, but Im believe theyre required by law to give govt more notice than 1 week. The question to be asked is how long was the cabinet aware that this was coming.
I think speaking to the perpetrators is the way to go, unfortunately this was a badly bumbled attempt at it. They did this in South Africa I believe led by Desmond Tutu. I know the Commissioner means well and he wants this problem solved, beating suspects doesnt work, advertising that youre trying to get information out of gang members is a death sentence to them, as odd as that sounds. They will speak when they trust that the person on their boss payroll doesn't report back.
The strategy was odd. (They probably saw their boy walking by the door in red stripes). And then to broadcast it, noone really will say anything now.
You know this is no different than a normal Bahamian citizen. Ask any MP how so and so get this contract? Silence. Ask any PS to speak to the public. Silence. Ask any civil servant what going on in this ministry. Silence. We are all in our own gang of some sort and we all know the danger of speaking. **Unless** you trust the person youre speaking to
This sounds eerily like the Commissioners statement maybe 2 years ago(?) May have been the former commissioner.. Paraphrasing, "*Bahamians dont need to be afraid, only those known to police are being targeted*"... and then the collateral damage started.
What if the criminal hides in a movie theatre where his girlfriend works?
