No much is as disabled as the the Persons with Disabilities Act, a law passed in 2014 . The enforecement is just lame.

PoorW, you have posted a not inaccurate but unusual perspective. While the the USA does have a lower per capita murder rate then the Bahamas, we must also recognize that the Bahamas has almost the highest murder rate of any country in the world. Guns do make murder much easier and the murder rate of the USA is much higher than most other countries. Pinder may well be following Mexico's lead in this matter.

As it happens I know these people and the background, I find their story very believable but they, and we, the public, will sadly probably never know the name of the police person or police persons who saw fit to steal the money saved up for a life saving surgical operation. This is a sad reflection on the level of integrity to be expected from the Police Force, I am considering writing to our King Charles to have him rescind the Royal Charter granted to this state security force; I do not think that they deserve any longer. Perhaps we should be grateful that Mr. and Mrs. Deveaux did not own a pet dog to be killed by one of these armed and dangerous policepersons.

There is a huge difference in the effects on our society between the hotel casino and the Bahamian owned gambling houses. Both businesses make large profits by taking money from their gambling patrons; the difference is that the hotel casinos, while employing many Bahamians do not, by law, take any money from Bahamian citizens or residents, there is no adverse effect on the finances of locals. Conversely the local gambling houses do take money from the Bahamian citizens Most if not all of their money comes from locals. This may lead to financial distress to those who become addicted.

And in strange coincidence the country has an election pending. Some may recall the adverse publicity surrounding the then incumbent government's use of the state owned airline to campaign . There will be no oversight on the use of this particular government owned aircraft by government ministers and election campaigners, or so it would seem based on past performance of the individuals concerned.

Quote: "revealed “as soon as the ink is dry...." Just what century are these people living in? Please graduate to a biro, that ink does not need to dry and so you can reveal everything immediately.

Umm, Smokey Jack, you have posted that pitbulls have killed many people, can you please supply a list, in The Bahamas, or please, just sit small at the back og the class?

There is something profoundly wrong with policemen who like to kill, whether it is a family's pet dog or another human being. As is usual nothing will happen, and it will happen very slowly.

I understand that Mr. Rolle has always been a State Employed Worker and has never , as far as my memory serves, worked in the Private Sector. The Private sector of an economy is the part that creates wealth, the State Employed Workers just absorb some of that created wealth by taxing businesses, property, sales, and services. The State employed workers solution to raising salaries is always the same; that is increase the level of taxation, which inevitably leads to, yes, you guessed it, increased inflation. Please reference Argentina's fiscal policies over the past 60 years.

This incident, if true, is shocking. Military code forbids any officer from striking a subordinate. A properly run force e would have convened an immediate Court Martial; if found guilty the offending officer would be cashiered with loss of pension. As is par for the course in this country we can expect nothing effective to happen, and to happen very slowly. Sad.
