Irish missionaries roaming round praying & giving out rosary bracelets!?
Dangerous stuff!!

They're just getting round to that now?
And there's ole Chester bragging on all his media hits "See for Yourself" an oldie but I guess a goodie??
But where's the data baby!?

Dr Sands is exactly right.
What does the Bahamas gain from another political appointment.
And why shouldn't the gov't encourage fresh faces and vigor?
All we got was another double dipper!

If this government spent as much time doing their jobs as they do flapping their gums and promising and lying this situation might could be avoided.

Two campaigns likely very costly, to cloak the real data on crime in the Bahamas is ludicrous but so believable in this country!
And folks lining up to place blame on anything except where it belongs- the RBPF and this gov’t who are more invested in avoiding their sworn responsibilities, and working corruptly with their fellows to add to that ill gotten nest egg.

Blaming the press because they dare report these crimes? Call for action on blatantly corrupt behavior?
The police got caught doing they’re usual schtick of coercing victims not to go forward with filing a police report.(esp now with those crime ## going up despite those best efforts)

The girls story hasn’t wavered, they were told they’d be delayed and miss their ship departure, if they pursued chgs, they lied when they said they’d called the US Embassy.
They lied about the rape kits. They lied about calling in the FBI.
They never reported that tourists had been raped, they and their little friends featured in these pages…started lying and spreading rumours as soon as it was learned all of the above was now part of the news cycle in the US, then the world.
And there were pictures of their bruises, the drug testing.
A flood of pictures of different women not the victims dancing on bars, having sex etc..suddenly flooded social media.

Johnnie the mouth here hoped Trump’s huge judgment meant the Bahamas could sue for big bucks, but he got it backwards, and he’d better be ready when/if those gals come back for his hide!

First of all, it has always amazed me that the Bahamas allows nurses to practice even in theatre ops without the government’s acceptance of their certification of training and issuing them the proper licensing?

There’s likely a few of reasons that comes to mind taking into account the history of gov’t here.

#1/ Nurses w/o their permits and/or license are likely paid less,so..
. Does not having their lic mean they’re unable to join the union?
#2/ Do hospitals here insure unlicensed nurses? I would think unlicensed nurses would be cost more to insure, therefore my inkling is they are not insured.
#3/ If men and women have studied, paid their tuition and graduated how is it that any governing body keep their deserved certificates from them?
#3/ In light of the gov’t’s poor choices, low wages, poor working conditions and being held hostage by said government, those lucky souls who can get their license are likely to be on the first plane off the Rock for any other place, and there are aplenty who will welcome them with open arms and a living wage.

Dr Darville said an ethics committee will be part of the programme…You have to have watchful eyes.. to make sure everything is above board…no one is coerced into giving their organs”

And therein lies the rub! We have no watchful eyes. no ethical standards and with criminal organ harvesting now rampant, netting big $$$ it stands to reason the Bahamas wants to jump right in.

I read no threats here, just the unvarnished truth to an egoist who true to form, refuses to own his duplicity.

I recall PM Chrètien’s wry remark in the ‘93 campaign to the Tory attack ads featuring his facial defect and it’s appropriate here.

“It’s true I talk out of the side of my mouth. I’m not a Tory, I don’t talk out of both sides!”

How did the issue of reporting the truth about this government’s lack of will to effectively combat crime and corruption become food for this dog whistle of racism??
Eleven years ago in opposition Davis said “are we to be concerned about the impression truth gives...or are we about dealing with the issue?”

And now having been given the reins of gov’t twice Davis has failed to take up that cause.and in his hypocrisy he says the press needs “sensitivity” but means censorship.

It’s proof that the only means Bahamians have in order to prompt a response on crime is the press.
And Davis is refusing to acknowledge that his gov’t and the RBPF’s corruption vaulted this issue onto the front page, and into international media by their fumbling attempts to suppress two police reports of rape by American victims of this crime.

In doing so they gave two tourists a platform to rightly call out the demeaning manner and hypocrisy they experienced at the hands of those Bahamian institutions they foolishly believed upheld law and order.

There’s one shill here baying of the white man’s oppression while spewing misogynistic rhetoric that beggars belief.

Here’s a tip, the next time you attempt to call up such a cause, pray remember that your bigotry towards those who got you this far negates all credibilty.
And likely earns you a cold and barren life…

Where are the two men accused of committing this crime and subsequently fired by their employer?
Are they currently in custody, and why if the women identified the men has there been no announcement as to whether they were charged? Arraigned before a justice?
Why haven’t their names been released publicly?
Such steps are supposedly those of ‘honest investigations’.

Would this have anything to do with one of the men having a long history of not held accountable for his (ever growing) sexual assault record?

You think the RBPF invited the FBI to investigate this?
And invariably expose their own behavior in this matter? Please!

What’s wrong with their pictures in the Bahamas, or of them embracing each other? They’re both young single Mothers who’ve apparently been friends ‘forever’ having what they though was a dream vacation.

You have no knowledge of them to question their accusations, you don’t know whether they were examined onboard ship, yet you’re blaming them and making assumptions which is very misogynistic.

They asked for drug tests which sounds like the correct thing to do, in fact if the officers did act like inappropriately as the women said, which your views/attitude mirror why would they have any faith in the police doing their job?
I wouldn’t be interested in interacting with this pair described thusly either.
