I Simply put, I really do not like the turmoil that these young, uneducated, and destructive individual are are causing in the country. Behaviors leading to criminal activities should justify the input of any and all efforts and resources (including the education, legal, and social systems). Yes government, more effort and resources to keep these potentially dangerous elements in school, rather than spending exponentially more to maintain, rehabilitate, and punish these “dumb criminals”. Who compensates the victims for lost of life and properties. Rather than assessing exorbitant taxes and fees, subsequently punishing parents wanting to educate their children, try subsidize and facilitate the change that we expect.

...think that it cost too much to educate the children of illegal immigrant parents in our country? Think about how much it will cost to restore and rebuild the infrastructure, social legal, and economic systems of a country overburdened by poor, uneducated and unemployable children and adults (all born in the Bahamas). The ignorence and shortsightedness of our misdirected political leaders, will soon prove to be much more costly than educating those helpless, but innocent children. God help us all!

In addition to being hateful, many of the comments are just ignorant! Imagine if the many other countries where Bahamians are enjoying status (legal or otherwise), were to express the same level of hate and discriminatory actions towards us. Remember that the world is watching! How many of you remember when the then Minister of Finance, Hon. Carlton Francis was subjected to a strip search, by the Americans, in the Miami International Airport?

Perhaps the churches will now realize, that they are stakeholders in the fight against the social ills and "luxurious self-indulgence", which affect this country today. The decline and erosion of moral, ethical, or sexual traditions are often viewed as 'criminal activities', however, the learned minds have documented many instances of political, social, and cultural deviances influencing such behaviors. Is this a wake up call, which should be viewed beyond retribution?

......…..sad but interesting, that the legal system and subsequently 'law and order' have deteriorated so badly in this country.....acquittals and ‘released on bail’ are guaranteed to be a "death sentence" and the end of the story. Vigilante justice everywhere!

I can't believe that a fire at the Royal Bahamas Police Force Headquarters, with blaze billowing from the roof, does not warrant more that a two sentence comment. I personally expect much more from the Tribune, one of two major dailies in the Bahamas, in communicating to the public, breaking news, particularly of such a magnitude.
A building which houses critically sensitive and important archives and information, not to mention operations with critical consequences, which supposedly emanates from the headquarters of the RBPF. Being physically only a few blocks away, is the operation of the Tribune so severely handicapped, that they cannot quickly dispatch a reporter to East Street, for rapid and responsible coverage and reporting? There is hardly a person residing in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, who could escape being impacted, in one way or the other, by a potential disastrous fire at the headquarters of the RBPF, and will pay for rapid and reliable information.
