They took their FB pages down because they were being harassed. There is no evidence these women are as you have repeatedly claimed “attention seekers”
They were asked to identify where they were assaulted when given the test results still under the influence of drugs, so their identification I believe would be hazy. However their attackers being employees at Pirates Cove would likely know where the cameras were located-correct?? If I as a woman who’d been treated with disdain by police officers I wouldn’t let them submit me to a rape kit either, I ‘d go back to the ship’s MO, which they did. And they even refused to be in the car with said officers…? It rather sounds like these officers got back to their station, reported the affair and were sent back to deliver rape kits given the recent US warning.
When this was reported here, there was no evidence the newspaper saw the reports that the police said refuted their claims.. And the RBPF working “with the FBI” in no way implies they reached out to them but likely the other way round.
This looks bad and these comments here certainly give credence to the women’s accusations of the police-indeed the male pop of the Bahamas!
Hmm, which should one believe? The Davis gov’t that hasn’t fulfilled any campaign promises, play their usual game of moving goal posts, camouflaging and fluctuating $$ numbers til one’s head aches??
Or the IMF who’ve tracked the various Bahamian governments and sorry $$ predictions? There’s considerable amount of money between Davis & Co’s prediction of 0.9% of the GDP and the IMF’s 2.6%, when has this crew ever given out accurate info on anything??
Given that the errors in this system (and I’d expect this gov’t would engage in another ‘expensive’ contract being sold by a local crook) and the bias shown by near every member of the RBPF to rapidly increase our already overburdened judiciary with wrongful death, arrest and internment suits. They cannot keep up litigating the ones they have now by members of the RBPF! Look at the deplorable evidence coming from the inquest in the death of those gang members killed years ago. The police said one thing but wrote an entirely different version of events in their reports written at the time. How are the gov’t solicitors be expected to defend this particular posse of giggling cowboys? If they will not take their appearances in court or the efforts of said solicitors what does that say about their policing? Nothing good, these officers would be better working security at a warehouse, an empty one without goods to steal in
And shouldn’t this country put a priority on being able to track those fitted w/monitors out on bail for murders first?
I read in these pages last year that this gov’t had secured a contract worth $1M+ with an IT firm to update & improve the site. And that the company had already been working on this project for months, so what’s going on?
This is the stupidest excuse for the ever rising rate of violent crime and homicides in the Bahamas which despite the mass murders in the US is still higher.
As for tourists getting murdered in Las Vegas, it was 12% years ago and given their rising crime rate it’s likely higher, and that figure doesn’t include robberies, rapes and the survivors of these terrible crimes.
As for the Bahamas the rate for crimes against tourists run from robberies, rapes and sexual assaults is hardly ever publicized by the authorities and unless victims post the crime on social media we’re none the wiser. As the previous posters suggested, one doesn’t have to hear specifically that tourists were killed for the reports of generalized violent crime to give one pause about visiting. The number of times I’ve heard cruisers on Cabbage Beach say that most of their party stayed onboard because of the reputed crime rate…
Put an end to the corruption, good governance is supposed to work for Bahamians not the other way round.
Judging from other condo complexes in New Province the odds of this one generating 30 full time jobs is a non starter, 30 part time jobs is a stretch! As for 300 full time construction jobs that’s highly doubtful as well.
It should be noted that the NFPA3000 recommendation for these vests and helmets were made in 2014, ten years ago. Further considering the ‘non rapid’ response of police officers on scene, one can imagine that having first responders held in abeyance until their arrival greatly reduces the likelihood of survival for victims.
And why does the Bahamas not have the will to protect their own citizens? It’s shameful, always waiting for and/or begging someone, or some other organization to cover their basic needs??
Last year Wake Co in North Carolina purchased ballistic vests and helmets for the 450 members of their first responders at a cost of $650,000. And we waited 10 years for 40 donated vests and no will for the much needed helmets?
There’s what $700M in property taxes owed? Money from increased duty, VAT and all those loans that never quite measure up to address the needs of our own because the first cut goes to our politicians sleek in their shiny suits,their ‘civil’ servant lackeys. We still don’t have an adequate hurricane shelter open in the Abacos! No wonder we’re an embarrassment on the world’s stage.
