Another Sinclair Outten? Boy that will be some sh*t aye?

Yeah. Kinda makes you wonder if he's in the cabinet as some favour to the Haitians in exchange for votes. I smell a rat with this.

I agree. Most gamble away all of their hard earned income. They no longer go to the local banks to save. It goes to the number houses instead and with all of that money only going in one direction small wonder the economy is failing.

Actually, I agree with Mr. D'Aguilar. We have to be practical. You cannot outlaw something that's going to happen anyway. Webshops make hundreds of billions per annum so since Bahamians who gamble will continue to gamble anyway, why not have some of it go into a national lottery instead of into the hands of the numbers boys in an industry that currently is poorly regulated.

This is actually funny. He was so gung-ho to roc wit doc before the election and bragged in a video that went viral about helping to finance the FNM's campaign. Now they threatening to mess with his fellow Haitians and suddenly "the FNM is visionless"? You just can't make this stuff up!

Short answer: Minnis needs someone with a big mouth in his corner.

Persons have been saying for years that if we don’t get a grip on this illegal immigration issue we will soon have a Haitian PM and this is just the precursor to it. We’ve left it too long and it’s gone too far. They are here and have infliltated the highest ranks in government. Reality check - they walk among us!

Now what do you think will happen at cabinet level when decisions are made that can adversely affect illegals. Don’t mind what Frankie say about not supporting illegal immigration. If he can brag about getting ‘straight’ through an illegal entry by his mother and now ascending to the highest ranks in Givernment, do you honestly think he would vote against any such decisuons. Reality check - he’s there to make sure it doesn't happen!

Actually I agree that capital punishment is not a deterrent but it IS a form of punishment. We cannot have persons killing innocent children sitting in a jail cell for life at the expense of taxpayers and possibly being freed after serving less than half the time.

I admit this video affected my sleep because I made the mistake of watching it just before I went to bed but I woke up with these thoughts which I'll leave here for consideration.

We have a PM in office who has not given himself a portfolio so that he can be "free" to be PM. That is commendable. It leaves him free to visit ministries and the Family Iskands and this is all streamed live on Facebook on an almost daily basis. I know because I follow his page and the notifications constantly pop up on my smartphone.

In this case he has visited a mother who lost her 8-year-old son tragically as a result of crime, an issue that continues to plague our country year after year, administration after administration with no clear solutions in sight.

I don't know about you, but if I were PM I would not use these situations as a 'photo op'. In my opinion, a mother's pain is not news!!

i am the PM. I am the chief legislator with the right to pass laws that affect how my country is governed. The Bahamian people have elected me to make the necessary changes to those laws that would, among other things, put a serious dent in crime. Without a portfolio I am now free to focus on this.

I know that my citizens have a major issue with the fact that capital punishment is no longer enforced because of an out-of-touch privy council. What can I do to amend this? I know that the police force is frustrated with the in-and-out system that allows prolific offenders to repeatedly be let out on bail to reoffend. What can I do to fix this? I know that the streets are filled with illegal guns. What can I do to put a dent in that? So I'm not running around playing MP visiting a distraught mother who had lost her son to the crime that I have the ability (through legislation) to fix. Instead, I'm using my press conferences, live feeds and photo ops to demonstrate to my citizens that legislation is being passed to stop it. I may mention that I visited this mother but that her pain motivated me to do something about it.

We have had over 4 juveniles killed in the last 2 months. Did our PM visit any of the other mothers? And what's going to happen when the next child dies by violent crime? Will a visit to the parent be streamed live in social media? If that's the case then we may be getting weekly live feeds because it's getting worse and worse and further you're creating a precedent that may be difficult to follow because other mothers have lost their sons and you haven't visited them.

I say keep focused and do what we elected you to do. Get capital punishment entrenched in the constitution. If it's constitutionally correct to do so, anend the Bail Act to prevent persons charged with serious crimes from being granted bail to reoffend, and pass stiffer gun laws to make persons think twice about picking up a gun.

This is how Governments fight crime. We do not just see you. We FEEL you.

Heart wrenching to watch!!

Why did they post this? Not something I would post on social media.
