Speaking as one who while yet a teenager saw the beginning with Pindling, late 60s, and how his organized goonism cost dear Bahamian friends of ours their possessions, health, and nearly their lives, your post rings true and close to home.
Concur. Completely. The keel was laid long ago, as always it is with crime syndicates.
To know the present, go back thirty years. To know the future, go back almost fifty and then project the lines from there thru the present day.
Were that to occur, without even one citizen arming themselves, crime would drop because criminals would think twice before perping on a citizen who might be armed, knowing their next crime might be their last.
In a not so subtle way, the chicoms are doing same as they did with Baha Mar, taking control of transportation by impeding it.
Beyond that, am curious to know what evidence you have re cruise lines reducing visits to Nassau.
Can't find anything about it on the Net, but there is substantial evidence that some ambulance chaser with an animus toward cruise ships is spreading fear about the Bahamas in to promote by covert means, travel to Cuba, the last place any sane person wants to visit.
Whatever the local issues, people we know will gladly visit the Bahamas and avoid Cuba until the last of the communist butchers are gone.
Europeans are greatly in favor of 'gun control'? Really? Source? Your imagination?
Austria, where it remains legal to own shotguns and rifles, is presently sold out of both as Austrian citizens arm themselves against the invading hordes.
As far as your pathetic contention that every nation accepts loss of liberty in exchange for security, history is filled with examples of that fallacy.
People who surrender their liberty in exchange for false promises of security eventually suffer deprivation of both liberty and security.
You claim many Americans to be mentally ill, yet you clearly don't know your definition of 'mental illness' according to gun controllers: every person who is not a leftist thug is mentally ill according to the anti-gun Left.
Perhaps were you to do some research and reply to stated points with facts rather than insults, slogans, scoldings, fanciful tales, lies and lectures, you might enjoy a smidgen of credibility.
It's clear you know nothing about firearms, criminals, crime, and the thirty thousand gun laws in America alone which address them.
The Bahamas has very strict gun control, so why all the gun homicides? Explain, please.
Switzerland requires all citizens to own firearms, and the crime rate of that nation is infinitessmally small. Why? Explain, please?
Please cite one nation, one municipality in which 'gun control' actually does anything other than render law abiding citizens as defenseless targets of armed criminals?
Where? Chicago? Communist China?
Were fallacies oil you'd be Saudi Arabia. And you're not a regular poster here, are you?
Clearly, this person was negligent in parking their vehicle so close to the canal, knowing full well the dangers seagulls present to people rummaging in car trunks - very dangerous, clearly.
A citation for Reckless Parking seems in order, doesn't it? Case closed.

It's looking ever so slightly less than rosy.

Intriguing observation, agree: this is not the typical drive-by killing.
The effort exerted to conceal the crime and dispose of the body suggests it's personal, and that the killer may be wracked with guilt?
Time will tell, won't it? A pleasure to read your comments.
