... Bahamians have suffered far more from corrupt politicians and lackluster policies from successive governments than from a slavery they never experienced! Have they asked the African tribes who sold other blacks into slavery for reparations and if not why not?
It is ignorant to ask those who did you no wrong to pay you for a wrong that was done to others now deceased by those who are deceased!
... if I have a problem with anything and I get an opinion that doesn't make sense to me or that leaves me with concerns, then I get another opinion! Preferably not from the same place. Did the mother do that and if not why not??
... none of us are promised tomorrow and he has no guarantee that he will live to be 40! However, that money properly invested could earn him 6-8% or more per annum for the rest of his life!
That said, the police who shot him should be revealed and removed from the force. It is unconscionable that someone so trigger happy is still interacting with the public, quite possibly with a weapon!
... sad, but the Privy Council allows jurisdictions to come to their own determination based on their economic situation and what happens if they appeal and lose??
... Bahamian law should be respected, if only our leaders and their underlings understood that! The US is involved because there are Bahamians breaking Bahamian laws that results in America being affected and personally, I have no problem with that. There would be zero accountability if we left Bahamian law enforcement to police their corrupt and connected own!
... if it is true that the DEA is operating illegally in the Bahamas, they aren't doing a good enough job! Imagine how much more corrupt law enforcement officials would be if US agents weren't a deterrent to their activities!
... not sure why the Tribune prints these one sided stories with photos! It is irresponsible, especially since the people they interview can't even properly explain what the real problem is. Do these "journalists" have any standards at all??
