Lol. I shake my head at the suggestions people give to entrap law abiding citizens. Implement a curfew! Have road blocks everywhere! Search every home!

"*Tell me why in the world it take 2 to 3 days to get a drivers license?*"

If the printer is still not working it takes more like 8 days to collect

"*an “alarming concern” for Japanese cars being major contributors to traffic accidents.*"

**Analysis seems very faulty. It implies that theres something wrong with Japanese imports. Let's assume there is, then this is a national security concern**. The question would have to be asked, why are these cars so prevalent? Could it possibly be due to the ridiculous 65% import duty on cars added to VAT and then VAT compounded on VAT and customs duty? So by keeping the car import duty rate high you get people buying cheaper cars that you say "cause" more accidents.

**If that's the problem, lower the duty so people buy American cars**

Of course then you'd have to report an alarming trend in the rise of accidents in American imports... **because the issue isnt the model, it's the availability combined with the prevalence of bad drivers.**

**Its of course harder to speak the truth. How are so many bad drivers getting licenses and why are bad drivers not being stopped by police before they cause accidents with their red light running, 3rd lane making, uturn creating, sidewalk driving, turning lane to jump line abusing behaviour**

Tribune court report on inquest into police shootings in house in Blair:

*Assistant Commissioner of Police Earl Thompson of the police forensic science section testified yesterday that of the **eight police firearms his lab collected** for testing, six were handguns, and two were rifles.*

*She said Tony Jr told her his father asked for forgiveness from God as he stood in an upstairs bedroom when police stormed the building.*

*She said he recalled his father putting his hands in the air and telling officers, “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, there are kids in here.*

**IF???** Its already 30 years of police abuse of power too late. Call it "just" the bad apples if you like, but Do something

Does he have a place to live now? Its instructive that he was quite happy with his changed physical appearance. Hopefully this is a case that they follow so truly see if he can turn things around for himself and also hopefully he doesnt have a substance abuse problem, might makes things more difficult, not impossible though.

"*Ministry of Finance has adopted a data-driven approach*"

When I heard this I didnt know what to make of it. Do they mean Finance staffed with accountants, financial analysts and economists, not to mention the highly paid foreign financial consultants, havent been using data for the past 50 years???

I'm still confused.

The Bahamian people are concerned with contract smuggling, that's where people collude to submit overpriced, especially construction and technology contracts, to smuggle money out the treasury. Contracts that should cost 500,000 or less remarkably approved for 5m or more. If we put an aggressive focus on that... 40 contracts is about 200m.

"*people who are into (murder) statistics trouble me*"

Lol. This as PM Davis starts talking about how his govt will focus on data to produce better outcomes. You can't make this up ... well Fred Mitchell also revealed a contradictory PLP "secret"(?) tenet that the govt has no interest in freedom of information, so I guess we shouldnt be surprised.

Lawlessness and disorder. They should never have been allowed to get a foothold there. Remove the shanty stalls from Montagu before that gets out of control too. And fix Carnichael
