It is Fred Mirchell's mouth that caused him to lose his 'secure' FoxHill seat because of the non stop effluence spewing from his lips. The former minister of flying needs to shut up and sit small somewhere and scrape up some dignity and see the realization of the fact that he will never be the prime minister of The Bahamas !!!

Way more often than not, kids are being raised in a criminal enviroment right at home with no consequences then they see the bus drivers doing as they please right in front of patrol cars and motorbikes and again, still no consequences. If they are raised where their older siblings come home with the spoils of their crimes then why should they not just pick up the baton and carry right on without fear or a conscience !!! In these kids eyes, a monitoring ankle bracelet is considered an honour badge and there's no need for shame !!! Then to top it off, we have the nerve to say the government needs to do something about the criminal youth but the government is not raising our useless criminally inclined kids, we are turning them into what they are becoming by our own inactions but enjoying the benefits of their actions monetarily or otherwise then when they get caught the parents swear he/she is a clipped wing angel from heaven but with a 3mile rap sheet. The parents of these kids should be made to suffer the same fate as their kids when they get caught, tried, convicted and incarcerated.

I guess they will get away with it because the jurors will screw up again just like Dino Smith case where premeditated murder was reduced because 3 jurors would not find him guilty but let it be one of their own and they would be screaming for the death penalty. I hope the money they got for their actions will pay for their conscience eating them until they die !!!

Tal, it must be killing you daily that the 'Gold rush' regime was vanquished and all of the pandering, golden handshakes, missing millions, extravagant spending, government hiring of useless gold rush supporters, obscene finger flashing politicians days are over and that the 'Imperial Red Shirts' are at the helm now and you have to wait five long painful years to see if Brave and he boys can muster the strength etc for a come back !!! You are obviously writhing in pain !

And he will probably get a $500 bail with no sureties. The reason the crime is becoming so rampant here is because the sitting court judges are wussies and boneless and ludacris bail requirements are so lenient that even a street walking jonser can meet the bail requirements so what's the point of them being arrested, charged and arraigned because they will be back on the streets within 24hrs to continue reigning havoc on decent society with the blessings of a judge !

Fred Mitchel is a legend in his own little power hungry mind who aspires to be the dictator of the Bahamas !!!

This is what happens when single mothers engage and compete with each other in the baby making contest. Girls are being raised to believe that having children turns them into women and they have no one to talk and convince them that what goes on between your ears and not your legs is what determines whether you are a mature, intelligent, productive adult. Having children only proves your plumbing works and because their kids can't be raised properly they resort to crime as a means of making a living !

It is called a lack of responsibility Mr. Dames. If all of the prison are held responsible and collectively punished monetarily making the "good apples" suffer for the bad then they will bring that kind of crap to a stop themselves because it affects their wallets and after this happens a few times then trust me, it will stop !

I have read the responses to the article and most of them mention and focus on single parents. This leads me to believe that in depth sex education along with parenting classes need to be mandatory in high school and teach the air headed girls that men cannot get pregnant and that getting pregnant as a single woman does not prove you love him as he tells you, it only proves that you are as STUPID as he thinks you are. So shut your legs and open your minds to achieve more out of life instead of going to court to make your "baby daddies" pay child support !

You come off of the ships and you are met right at Festival Place with foul mouthed vendors offering " made in China " items or outrageously priced services or rentals or God forbid, you venture out to the " made in China straw market " to be harrassed by hair braiders wearing ankle bracelets or selling "knock off" cheap shit for over the top prices or you get brave and go all the way to Junkanoo Beach to be plied with drug dealers right opposite the Police station that is manned by overweight, lazy, cell phone toting policemen who are too busy watsapping ! And the ships crew is gonna suggest you come ashore because of ...
