Some of the largest cities in the US that one might associate with high murder rates can’t compete with that of the Bahamas which last year was at 32 murders per 100,000k population.
NYC was 5.5/100,000k
Miami was 8/100,000k
Jacksonville 13.3/100,000k
Rochester 30/100,000k
Atlanta 33/100,000k
Detroit 50/100,000
The murder rate overall in the US has come down considerably since 2020.
It’s difficult with so many guns in the US, but that’s not supposed be happening here.
So one has to ask what would be the stats here if we wiped out the corruption w/police, customs inspectors, etc. and applied the law to those who profit from the importation/firearms sales?

So is it true that the RBPF is not investigating this incident?

This country has to start shutting down corruption in it’s ranks from the inspectors supposedly monitoring the ports, airports, the places known to be ports of entry for contraband like firearms and folks ordinarily banned from entry to the guns ‘confiscated’ and mysteriously disappeared.

I do not doubt that Munroe knows all the ins and outs of police intrusiveness and aggression, as an attorney he makes hay on the denial of civil rights to defendants in court.
And it’s all tosh obviously.
The UN committee here recently spoke on this matter as well, that defendants, and those arrested and/or imprisoned are not given the chance to call a lawyer or a family member, nor is there a working phone for which to do so.
They’re threatened and bullied.
They are not told they have that right nor are they given names of lawyers to aid them.
They’re forcibly questioned w/o their lawyer even after somehow contacting one.

In other words the moment a person comes under suspicion and/or is questioned/arrested all their rights disappear.

And Munroe says he’s going to increase, ensure these circumstances at the same time his government mouths about it’s seriousness in finishing building a prison and system that stands up to scrutiny, safeguards their health, lives and lawful processes?
That doesn’t make sense does it?

Build a national data lab? Where are those $millions coming from?

Policing is already intrusive, corruption rampant so the state is giving them more powers?
When will we see robust investigations into police corruption led by police and community members? (And political toadies!)
A through, dare I say more intrusive vetting of would be police cadets, police actions and their extra curricular employment, their relationships within the community they’re supposed to be policing.

The worst outcomes from Covid (ie.death) could have been prevented if folks hadn’t listened to quacks and crackpots issuing ‘info’ and ‘statistics’ about this virus and/or the vaccines that saved millions of lives.
Studies show that the majority of those (27%) who showed no symptoms were among children and the current situation is that of the children hospitalized 5% were vaccinated.
Adults showing no symptoms was much lower around 15% and again the unvaccinated are the majority of the patients hospitalized and in ICU and/or intubated.

So anyone w/ symptoms would have been tested for the all flu, Covid, etc.
There just isn’t enough beds to pretend otherwise.
And do you really think the MOH wants to jack up the Covid numbers given that only 44% of the pop in their care here has had one jab out of the required 6 shots for full immunization??
Think!

So Davis believes that his government’s duty to the well being of this country’s economy was met by contacting Pharmachem upon learning of their intent to close down and expressing ‘sorrow’???
What does that massive sluggish government of his actually do if not ensure the manufacturing industry here is preserved??

When Pharmachem laid off 23 jobs in 2019 Mitchell was up in arms.
The unions were furious (despite their nonunionized workforce) when they switched to 12 hour shifts and those who had refused to work the schedule were given their severance pay.
They announced Pharmachem was threatening worker safety!
Doesn’t anyone think about consequences in the Bahamas???

Haitians refugees come here to work and carve out a life for their families,
the fact they keep coming usually means there’s a need for their labour.
I don’t see Haitians holding up walls in Nassau…

Folks like this so called ‘pastor’ know very well the consequences of their fear and hate mongering, and that makes it difficult to see the Lord working through such a man.
In fact he reminds me of Trump and those tyrants round the globe who stir up fear and hatred against one’s fellows in a bid for power.

If their homes were made with quality materials you’d be wondering where they stole it…

It will interesting to see how they’re going to recreate this rendering at this location on Cabbage Beach given it’s history of shoreline erosion.
