Is that what you are worried about? Film production? Not the murder of an eight year old and the tremendous grief of a mother? No wonder we have such a huge crime problem; many people don't care.
Any information like this should be reported to the anti-corruption unit. Remember it is up to everyone to rid the country of corruption now that we have a government that wants to do that. They cannot do it without the information though.
I agree with the comments about the comparison to Topsy; I was horrified when I read that. However, to dismiss the experience of white Bahamians as self-centeredness is beyond me. In the late 70s and early 80s, on two occasions, when stopped in traffic, I had bottles and rocks thrown at me while the perpetrators shouted "Whitey, go home." That is more than "a cut eye or two" or "being overcharged once in a while". Fortunately, I had my car windows up otherwise I would have been hit in the head by flying rocks and bottles. I have had other experiences where I was physically threatened because I was white. I also am constantly reminded of my whiteness by coworkers who make "jokes" at my expense. So Joey, you are right that white Bahamians have not experienced the discrimination that black Bahamians have in the past, at the same time you have no right to diminish the experiences of white Bahamians. This is not a competition.
I have always maintained that child rearing and relationship classes should be taught in school. Traditionally school has prepared people to get a job. However, society also expects people to get married and have children but there is no teaching for that.
No, Economist, do not blame the church for people committing adultery, robbery and murder, as that gives them a free pass. Hold people accountable for their actions.

Kudos to the person who took the man to the hospital. I believe there are more compassionate people in this country than there are criminals.
