Fernander seems to have given the straight out logic but accidently his straight talk has put pepper on some of the public hidden grievances in hating male intelligence and professionalism. Instead they dare the Police to also act as an armed gang not using the rule of Law, and they call this cowardly. The turf wars involve a source of income that sustains gang lifestyle of women money, poor unemployed males and females, ego, image with the ability to sustain this lifestyle. Why has the church not addressed this dangerous entity within our system. It would be just as stupid as me advising posters to walk into drug barons dens and ask them to change their lives and find a job. The Police know it is not that simple. The reality of common sense seems to have escaped many. This is a complex issue where the innocent public is also falling in this fight. But the Police is being made the public enemy. We must show more appreciation as the Police Officers must put their lives on the line to save us.

The war for Ukraine is the ending of the second world War. Unless you know old script for Russia designed by Zbigniew Brzezinski 73 years ago you will never understand this war. In the America's we have English, French/Haitian, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish national languages. Africa is divided along other people's nationalities the same. Russia happens to be the second richest landmass outside of Africa with every conceivable mineral deposits in abundance with much of its territory untouched. The Brzezinski Doctrine for the division then plunder of The Russian Federation has taken this long to train up the dominoes of military, political and economic powers to subdue her. There has been only one united goal for 73 years, but the script, though kept alive is worn, moldy and guarded by skeletons in uniform awaiting this day of victory as a career. The Western Industrialized world thought they had the Bear on a plate belly up armed with industrialized forks and knives to enrich their own nations as they have carved up Africa into resource zones called nations. Just think of Ukraine as Russia's soft belly, then maybe you will understand the anger of the Western World. The last unconquered territory.

Future Marijuana wars in the Bahamas may be between legal professional Canadian exporters of various grades specific to medical and recreational tourist market as our natural Bahama blends will need to catch up with integrity demanded for pibluc consumption.

Bahamians don't ascribe to wt blk mentality. We all call each other the n word in casual conversation and to place emphises on a thing or person. We have our own dictionary. Niagara is ya bestiary buddy at the bestist time and comes with a loving hug. It is also an impressive boat plane shark or gun. That m-f-n is after you realize you got outsmarted.

The USA Government trained a handful of Bahamians in Problem Gambling, however it is suspected that the FNM Government betrayed their good will. The US KNEW gambling would destroy family island commerce and create socio-economic issues in Nassau due to gambling poverty especially among women. By the time hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamian people had fallen out of spirit with the FNM which cemented gambling into the fabric of our moral,social and economic life. The moral majority of Bahamians expected more. Marijuana prohibition has failed around the world where incarceration and criminal records has infringed upon human rights, deflected Police away from serious crime and made gangs powerful and rich.

The offshoots of Our notorious one came at a time of his incarceration. The Marijuana bandits spree that splintered were into local distribution as few had contacts way into Canada and USA East Coast, but it was all cash and carry. Local henchmen decided to simply control regions on Nassau through hard man tactics or gang enforcement. Murders murders murders for control of this little island with the thousands of hanger on males and females that fed, survived and protected it. Most people who tried to run their own operation were simply taken out. The criminalization of Marijuana spawned our local gang culture that has spinoff criminalizing resulting in a prison over population. Where there is money and power there are girls and babies being born. When I assisted the National Drug Council into late eighties the US Embassy kept us abreast of leading drug thrends the last one I recalled was the introduction of ICE. But nowadays Molly could be others ecstasy like compounds circulating among the young party scenes but the warnings and educations have stopped. High percentage potency synthetic THC used in vape pipes could cause schizophrenia issues where innocent young people just walk the streets talking to echos on their head.

@john. Owww. Don't forget that it was the Jamaican Posse that operated East Coast America that began violent gang killing during the eighties. They had the most influence on gangs violence here in The Bahamas. They were manifested in financial control of all street drugs. I recall that caricom called on President Clinton because our boy had become a threat to certain situations and circumstances. But even THE USA has legalized Marijuana now though only State Level and not Federal.

The USA still has a serious cocaine and opiate problem. While cocaine like gambling destroyed your life the opiates prescribed unwittingly by Doctors for pain, it became fiercely addictive and also suppressed the heart and lungs so thousands died. Looking back at the eighties world phenomenon and today's plight that saw thousands of lives destroyed by Marijuana which is a lesser risk than alcohol according to evidence and data. We are too intelligent to be boogeyman scare tactic on the issues locking persons up for discriminatory Marijuana possession possessed only by criminals who make millions here then contribute nothing to physical buildup of society. Canada is an aggressor Marijuana distributor that can take over our market here in a day with packaged labeled THC/CDM percentage guarantee. The USA is not as aggressive and we only see wild growth Marijuana from Jamaica here. The social ramifications from all mind altering activities are obvious from obesity alcohol use and gambling. Of them all Marijuana evidence of offense don't come close.

The sooner the government takes control and reign in prohibition to legalization , production, distribution, sales and taxation of Marijuana the better for all in order to stop these killings. Bahamian households and society have at least 60 years of Marijuana experience. It is nothing new to us. There is much-needed educational enforcement to penetrate the many social, and medical stigmas and biases as usage relates to personal choice. Armed Forces Personnel cannot use it as it would take them ten minutes to pull a weapon, as it slowes you down just too much.
