Let the law take its course. If this story is true, it's really nonsensical. What would they hope to accomplish by death threats, other than being arrested themselves?

What a shameful indictment, especially since we know these cases are under reported.

Ummm... Davis, hubris is really not a good look for you. Is that what you were going for?

While the crime in Nassau desperately needs controlling, I strongly believe that the US has ulterior motives for its labeling. I think rating as 6th out of 10 most dangerous place is HIGHLY political (and I'm talking- American politics). I think part of it is to stop Americans from spending so much money in a destination that is so conveniently close to the US. <br/><br/>
Here's a statewide travel advisory issued by the NAACP today advising against black people visiting Missouri. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/08/02/us/na…
To all the members of the NAACP and minorities in general, you are welcomed to travel to The Bahamas anytime.

I don't know why my "spidey" senses are tingling with this guy. So far I support Minnis' administration for the most part. <br/>
However, I just hope this Ambassador doesn't overstep his bounds like Ambassador Blankenship. That was a disaster!

While I am totally against allowing the Chinese or any other country coming in to "rape" our beautiful Bahamian waters, I certainly don't trust the US (especially anyone associated with the Trump administration). Trump has proven time and time again that no one else really matters to him with his 'Make America Great Again' rhetoric (well, except his bromance with Russia, but that's another story).<br/><br/>

IMHO Dr. Minnis should be shrewdly cautious when dealing with the US and ensure that The Bahamas' best interests always comes first. We really do have a lot to offer, especially with our abundantly rich marine resources - so be sure not to bend over to American demands. Be sure it's worth our while- whatever they offer!

Agreed.

I agree in a sense that the US focuses on crime in The Bahamas for ulterior motives ('most' tourists are not in danger of murder, locals are in far greater danger). If you keep up with American politics you will see that the corruption there is at another level than we can ever dream of. So I would not be surprised to learn that they are hoping for our failure for their benefit.<br/><br/>
All that aside, I am heartened to see that PM Minnis is trying to 'clean house'. Once he commits to do that on both sides of the isle, that will be great news. I think more ideas are also needed in how to grow the economy beyond tourism and banking alone.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think the best way forward is indeed to weed out corruption on both sides. The PLP has definitely done crap, but the FNM is not perfect either.

Well at least we can say the driver remained on the scene. That's better than what's been happening lately. I was really getting tired of hearing people leave the scene of accidents, it's a really cold act and would only haunt them for the rest of their lives. I am happy this driver followed the law despite the tragic outcome. Condolences to the family.
