Why is it that no one points a finger at the accused who made the decision to kill another human being? And if that person did fear retaliation why didn’t they take the necessary precautions? Does he not bear the primary responsibility for his actions? To ensure his baby girl has a Father committed to her well being, her Mother a stable partner in that effort? How can the RBPF possibly chase down and ‘save’ every fool choosing to break his bail conditions? We all know the police pick and choose, I waited with a friend on PI after she’d been confronted by an armed robber in her home. Nobody showed until the next day and only after we contacted her solicitor.
In the case of this young man it appears some time had passed after he was released before he was killed so one might conclude his continued criminality and not the murder accusation led to his death. So let’s stop the hypocrisy, bemoaning a society with a built in bias that nothing can/should/or will ever be done for children born into a class deemed irredeemable, while the upper echelons participate in the same criminality with impunity!
I sympathize with this lady and her family for their loss. The boat captain should not have ignored the day’s marine warnings. However… Going on holiday should never cause one to forget all their precautions, common sense and knowledge of their fellow humans. This may sound harsh but here goes.. If one’s life is dependent on a piece of equipment make sure it works! If a boat is sinking why wait for someone to tell you to put on a life jacket??
Usually a “legitimate accident” is one caused by unforeseen circumstances, this doesn’t make that grade. When someone sets out with 140 souls aboard in rough seas, in a vessel ill equipped to handle those conditions, despite marine warnings, and by all accounts with an inexperienced crew, any adverse results are no accident.
However this is the Bahamas and tho the owner dubs himself a ‘severe weather spotter’ here abouts, but turning away 140 paying customers?? The charge ‘criminally negligent’ will not be sought.
If one creates an environment (such as the Commonwealth of the Bahamas) in which systemic corruption is the norm not the exception, and everyone from the lowest correctional officer, those cousins holding up walls in the airport to the high and mighty that foster all this, no amount of money and/or wages will ever be enough.
Pretty much. And don’t forget the $300M that went into a fund for Bahamian investors. Oh and the bonuses, payments, whatevers to former and current government officials!
“I know it’s somewhere around a $1 million and something to do the entire website”. So this is two contracts? What’s the first million for since it doesn’t cover ‘something to do the entire website’?
Netclues Inc is a company run out of India where the average salary for tech industry grunts from $5000k to 18k/annum. On glassdoor.com salaries for Netclues senior QA techs and software developers ranges $2400.00 to $5000.00/annum. And the contract is for $1M+++
Furthermore this project which has already started (with the usual lack of transparency) isn’t is projected to be finished for a year, so we’re looking at somewhere in 2025 if we’re lucky.
So what was Bankman-Fried offered and given to induce his generosity?? The support of a bunch of operatives well versed in corruption and steering round laws of governance to line their pockets
