actually the U/S murder rate is 4 per 100,000 ,ours is 26 per 100,000 ,,sure detriot and places are higher ,but so is nassau village compared to eastern road ,,as a country our murder rate is 61/2 times higher than the U/S ,,Crime is not a problem any gov ,can solve when u have a 75% illegitimacy rate ..look at the danish countries that average 2 kids for married/unmarried but father involved ,,murder rates below 1 per 100,000 ,,the norm in the Bahamas is,single mother of 6 chaseing deadbeat babie daddys for child support , 10 years we will catch Jamaica ,40 murders per 100,000 ,,irresponsible baby making can not produce responsible societies no matter what the Government does ,,

actually our crime and murder rate per capita is a lot higher then the U/S ,but your right sh#t happens in the U/S ,,but we are taking about here ,,once when i was picked up and rode in the police van all night ,there was a festival on bay street ,,all night the police jumped out on young men beat the living shit out of them w/ long thorny switches and told them get there ass back over the hill ,,imagine some cubans ,the RBDF are not tibetan monks ,there us

dread we need police in schools to keep our lil darlins from beaten one another or teachers half to death ,,do you think these RBDF officers were special appointees of Tibetan monks ,,,,,,lol

so if Bahamians had the sh##t beaten out of them at Krome ave detention center in florida the repubs/dems should band togeather not to expose it ,,3 months for an invistigation?? why does a retired judge and clergy have to give the final report ,,CID ,SID or the police couldn,t investigate this ?? something is fishy

i was bad in my younger days ,,i was arrested 6 times and never resisted ,i was beaten 3 of those times to "pay out " or snitch,,,geez one of our own just beat a two yr old to death w/ a frying pan ,,sit under t he tree w/ the boys in an inner city setting and see how many think its perfectly alright to beat a women ,,come on man ,do you read the paper we have become a violent people that use physical force for conflict resolution ,,,,

we all know the video was a fake ,but were detainees beaten??..from our child rearing to our man/women relationships to our law enforcement we use violence as a form of conflict resolution and discipline ,,,,we all know it ,,,so is it so strange that difficult detainees could of got the living daylights beat out of them ..

good post

@proudloud if Bahamains "may" have been beaten in a U/S institution would you want the repubs/dems to unite to perhaps hide it ,,,we know police beat people ,what did our Defence force not come from us ? our teenagers have extremely poor conflict resolution ,think about guards dealing w/ difficult detainees that escaped ,,,,from our child rearing to man/women relationships to law enforcement as a society we use violence as discipline and conflict resolution ,,

i don,t know that about LOP , was it just politically smart ,was he of a less biblical and more progressive nature to gay people ,,,,,,,,,its always sort of puzzled me ,,,the Bishop must be on the outs w/ PGC he hasn,t announced a new Mount Tabor subdivision w/ favorable stamp tax rates from the goverment ,,,

How are we so blessed that of the 8 billion people on the planet God picks this" Dandy" to speak through ..I ,ve always wondered about LOP backing these girley men ,and manly women ,,was it as a skilled politician he knew they would be extremely loyal ,,,,,,,, C Wells ,Whyly , Pratt ,Mitchell ,Obie , , Peet ,,,,,,,,just musing on my part ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
