What was Brent Symonette thinking? ‘I gat the money so I’m getting the heck out of dodge and while I’m at it since the white knight representation is no longer in a key place, let me give the leader a black eye on my way out’
In my office they shared this article and most of the comments started with, ‘I am not surprised’ of ‘Here we go again’. One encounter with Laneisha Rolle and you too will say it. Her reputation proceeds her both in and out of politics. She is NOT nice so no surprise that havoc follows wherever she show up. Like some of the other commenters, I too wonder what Dr. Minnis’ fascination is with her or what she has on him. She’s clearly not cabinet material!
I wonder when we are going to get it through our thick skulls that no one is safe anywhere in this country and Government House is no exception. If they want you, they will find you and kill you. My goodness, the GG"s aide was gunned down picking up his child from school and he was a trained police officer. We had a whole Angilcan bishop killed in a church, we have had a Deputy Prime Minister robbed in his home, a mother shot and killed while breastfeeding her baby, an 8-year old who took a stray bullet ... and the list goes on.
We have been playing with crime for far too long and only giving lip service to the subject when it appears to affect the hierarchy.
How much you wanna bet we get a regurgitation of these comments the next time something happens while the persons who hold the power to affect the change in law do nothing.
There are two ways you can kill a person in the Bahamas and get away with it. You can either become a police officer and kill them in the line of duty as you will be investigated by your comrades and will likely get away with it even if the Coroners Court finds you guilty.... OR you can kill in the course of dangerous driving and get the maximum fine of $10,000 and walk away scott free.
“To me every time they come and put a policy in, it doesn’t work,” Mr Kerr said. “What they need to do is stick to the constitution, that’s all it is, don’t beat around it because even if you put a policy in place the constitution still overrides that."
With regard to the prominent businessman's comment, first of all, this is a LAW they are proposing not a RULE or policy.
Where the constitution is silent, I do believe statute law is used as a guide.
This will put an end to all the persons in this country who fail to get regularized and are now seeking to sue the Government because they did not follow the law.
Let's take our head out of the sand and not print ignorant comments!
This article is very biased. It fails to take into account that the parents came into the country illegally and that's why they don't have any documentation to prove their date of birth. If the child has difficulty getting it from Haiti then whose fault is that? And yes, while the Immigration Department does lose documents, it also fails to account for the fact that a lot of the documents are fake.
Somebody sure is getting their rocks offs doing this nonsense. Guess the ‘kidnapper’ decided to wait for the heat to die down before striking again. That being said I agree with the above comment. Parents need to start talking to their children in the strongest terms about talking to strangers and even worse going far enough to get in their cars! We may live in the Bahamas but please let’s not take it for granted that this only happens in America. There are sick people out there who are reading or hearing these stories and getting ideas. We don’t want anything worse to happen to our kids.
And minister of tourism just convinced the American embassy to pull back its advisory on Arawak cay bring ‘unsafe’. Now this. And who knows how many tourist witnessed this. Wow.
Seems like the more they say crime is down and tourists aren’t really being affected the more things keep happening to refute it.
Actually not true. In year one I may be making $100/week. By year 20 I may be making $500/week. If I allow it to accrue and take it all in year 20, then I'm getting 40 weeks at $500 per week versus the lesser sum I would have received in year 1. The officers are smarter than the government. Their take-home pay is greater for having waited. I can see Mr. Dames' point. It has to stop.
