So sad, the Bahamas government can't get a helicopter but can plan for festivals, take trips costing thousands of dollars, and double dipping to say the least. In the meantime, as stated above they were headed to New Providence, which means if they had made it, another 140 or so would have invaded Nassau illegally!!
tyty260 is most likely too emotionally upset to realize you meant no harm. A lot of people are upset about this unfortunate death. We feel and understand your pain. It is sad when people have to resort to physical abuse. It does take a lot of educating starting with children and the need for teachers who are experts in the field.
Only in the Bahamas. One could never get away with this in the US. If caught collecting disability and a salary without reporting it you could end up in jail.
If you read the previous articles it states the "boyfriend" was shot in the leg. Most likely as stated by ThisIsOurs he self inflicted the gun shot to his leg to cover up his crime and made up the story about two masked men invading the home.
Since it seems the web shops are going to continue whether legalized or not, the referendum never should have been presented to the public. The government should have taken it upon themselves to legalize without asking for public opinion. That way they could have established an effective date and put procedures in place for taxation. The only reason Bahamian gamblers didn't want it legalized is because they knew their "payoffs" would result in lower amounts. Therefore, the "NO" vote. The church going persons voted no simply because they don't believe in gambling or didn't want their family earnings going to the gambling industry. If legalized monies could have been used to supplement education, health and welfare and bettering the Bahamas. if the numbers racket is illegal it should be treated as illegal.
