It's likely everyone was afraid to approach. But not approaching isnt an option.
Luckily one person acted despite his fear, the irony is in this incident all it needed was one person to show an act of resistance and the man ran away. I have not watched, dont intend to, but from the narrative, he didnt even attempt to fight someone he perceived as being able to match his strength.
It's hard to condemn anyone because you werent in their shoes, you can only hope you would act differently. Perhaps acting as a group was the way to go, this is often heard in accounts of passengers subduing an unruly fellow passenger
We need to find that "*high ranking politician*" and weed out his corrupt network of govt officials. This is not sustainable:
"*They have maintained, surprisingly, with last year. They fell by about $20 for the third quarter, but they are back to last year’s rates. **Those were very high, incredible rates**, and to see them bounce back and people are coming to pay them...*"
Sounds like to make up for the billions of dollars that are extracted out of the system via corruption, we have to charge higher and higher taxes and business in turn have to rely on customers to pay higher and higher rates. The weird thing is, this message here says, we believe it's *good news* that someone is willing to pay a high rate. They wont forever. Someone else will come with a higher quality product and a cheaper price and the cruise lines will disappear. Again.
Expose the corrupt "*high ranking politician*". We know who they are because the Colombians een the first or last people they try to extort.
Not sure why its needed, but Mr Rolle is way smarter than I am.
Just my opinion, but when you enter a loan or equity arrangement with anyone, you have to put up something of value to the lender. A law will not make a painting, junkanoo costume or software code valuable. Someone has to believe it is valuable.
If the lender believes the property has value, they get a lawyer to create a contract with payment terms and the client has to agree to the terms that call for them to give up something if the terms are broken. That is already legally binding. The important thing is to find a lawyer knowledge in the domain of intellectual property to avoid industry specific loopholes.
If somebody flies to Germany with the junkanoo costume, not sure what the lender will do. The time to sort this out, for anything, is during contract creation, who has access to the domain, who is the artwork beneficially assigned to, who has physical control of the item etc etc.
As to intellectual property, you can sign a noncompete agreement so there is no direct competition for an agreed period, but in the end you cant buy the developer's brain
Metayer claimed at the time that "*the FBI know where I is*".

"*I think consumers will be happy that there are no significant price increases.*"
Prices are up 100% for spoiled and dessicated fruit. I watched for months waiting for the dessicated oranges and grapefruits with brown spots, the mushy pears and the candied apples to disappear. Something other than inflation is happening here. Profiteering started from 2012 with the *announcement* of VAT coming in 2013.
Elsewhere A salmon wrap has gone from 13 to 17 dollars? A Wendy's chicken sandwich combo has gone from 7 dollars to 11 dollars. I find it very hard to believe . It *seems* like profiteering. Every single item up by 4 dollars???
I cant remember an administration in history that had such poor intelligence. Lots of *busy-ness* announcements followed almost immediately by *oopsies* rollbacks
There are a number of serious matters of reform that have virtually been ignored by every single commissioner in the past 30 years, some more weighty than others.
Physical fitness for the job, abuse of law abiding citizens, low quality recruits, intelligence both literally and figuratively, normalization of pay to look the other way, traffic chaos . We will know within the first week if this new commissioner is any different. Words signal intent. The first three months will tell us the substance of those words.
The police have signalled that in January they will crack down on persons without license plates in a given range. How will they know by looking at a car without a license plate that you are in that range? Will they rough up persons without license plates as if they're criminals? Because some friend of the administration was given a lucrative million dollar contract they should have never received? The company should be fined one dollar per day for every license plate not issued on day of licensing backdated to when this problem started. Either give up the contract or find a sustainable solution.
Finally this is not the wild west. These criminals, clearly on and off the force, exist because someone in a very high ranking office is making money. Do not bow to "a" PM or anyone else to ignore criminal activity. It will eventually come right back to your doorstep. The sitting PM was held as a *targeted* hostage in his own house, unbelievable. Crack the ringS without some other country having to embarrass you.
Unfortunately a performance will not "prove" a group is the real valley boys. A performance will just say that the group showed well on *this* day.
Knowing junkanoo, spectators have to wait each year, each performance to see if groups will be on time, if costumes will be completed, if costumes will be pasted with quality, if music will be in time and in tune... you never know.
If only this were called something like *the greatest show on earth* we might get consistency. Maybe someone someday will think to brand junkanoo as such and aim to live up to the name.
Shouldnt they have given numbers? And if a business is unable to deliver items securely and refusing to give refunds shouldnt the consumer **protection** commission name them? Or is this a scare tactic to discover persons from buying reasonably priced items.
Anyway another reason to order directly from Amazon. They track in real time
