None of this matters a hill of beans, he already got his get out jail free pass from the PM.

@tal, yes, they did shoot the dog, but the Bermudian authorities also hanged "Buck" Burrows and Larry Tacklyn for doing the deed.

Not saying we guvmint should hang the desecrator of the statue, but a good cut ass would certainly be in order.

They should do it publicly on the govmint grounds behind Mount Fitzwilliam and sell peanuts, popcorn & beers.

You and Munroe obviously never served in the military.
In any other mans armed forces you'd be up on charges for dereliction of duty.
Are you and Munroe suggesting that that guy was not only able to just walk onto the property, but beat on the statue with a sledge hammer for a considerable length or time, all the while screaming and hollering at the top of his lungs without attracting the attention of what should be a roving patrol detail?
They were probably all down at the Imperial getting a conch snack and a beer.

@bahamianson,
with all due respect, respect starts with self respect something sadly lacking in far too many of our people.
With respect to teaching respect in schools? How about we leave that to be taught by the parents, oh, sorry, I forgot parenting was a lost art in this country.
How about we teach the history of the Bahamas in its entirety, warts and all, before what remains of our Colonial history is destroyed like the Columbus statue.
Next on the list will be Woodes Rodgers, Queen Victoria then the Forts and Queens Stair Case.
The only statues that will remain are those of Sir Milo and Sir Lynden as we all know history in this country can only trace its origins back to 1967.

Davis and Munroe starting out on the wrong foot already by making excuse's for and giving the negligent Government House guard detail a free pass.
This has nothing to do with guarding statues Mr. Munroe, rather the security of Government House grounds at large.
If a man wearing a bullet proof vest can enter the property with impunity and destroy a statue with a sledge hammer while screaming at the top of his lungs, if I were the Governor General I would quite rightly be concerned with the RBDF's dereliction of duty when it comes to my personal safety and that of my staff.
RBDF marines might not have powers of arrest but they are certainly armed and should have at the very least forcibly detained him.
Slack is back, they won't let you down, they won't disappoint you!

The lunatic is on the grass, got to keep the loonies on the path.

@john, perhaps the following will help you to understand your favorite topic more thoroughly.

Before 1492, Africa, like the Americas, had experienced the rise and fall of many cultures, but the continent did not develop a centralized authority structure. African peoples practiced various forms of slavery, all of which differed significantly from the racial slavery that ultimately developed in the New World. After the arrival of Islam and before the Portuguese came to the coast of West Africa in 1444, Muslims controlled the slave trade out of Africa, which expanded as European powers began to colonize the New World. Driven by a demand for labor, slavery in the Americas developed a new form: It was based on race, and the status of slave was both permanent and inherited.

It’s entirely possible that the Tribune dropped the ball but why has there been no response from the government to this?
Or do some of them secretly condone this shameful act?

Repost: If ignorance was money we’d have no National debt.
John is as rich in ignorance as Bill Gates is in money.
@john, at least try a little research before putting all that ignorance on display.

We would be obliged to hear from our more prominent nationalists denouncing this shameful act namely The Honorable Fred Mitchell and the Reverend Sebastian Campbell.
I have never been more ashamed to call myself Bahamian.
