The Ttibune disables crime articles for comments. Wjy did they enable for this situation? This is a tragedy. Leaving g this open doesn't respect the family. You run the risk of some insensitive person putting something here to add to the family's pain.

There are considerable amount of problems and there seems to be zero oversight by URCA. Sometimes you check your bill and there are phone charges from prior months. Also, there seems to be fraudulent text charges on bills. Several people say they found them on theirs. I'm sure BTC is aware of it. If you go to complain about a problem they find a million reasons not to address it.

The senior citizen complained about the banks as well. I find that complaints to regulatory bodies around here is a waste of time. The Central Bank, URCA, the Insurance Commission, etc. just want to be ornaments. If younfile a complaint they pretty much tell you, no matter what the bank or utility company or insurance company did, they can't help you. It ain't their business. I sent a complaint to URCA years ago I never even got a reply to say com I ain't received. This country is a joke.

It's sad to read some of the comments here from this writer. Senior citizens should be treated with respect. Then again in this country we don't respect anyone else. Quite sad. We're a banana republic trying to sell ourselves as a civilized, developing society.

The government seeks to find a solution to crime. You don't have a scenario where there is no crime. Your aim is to lower your crime statistics. Often the focus is on punishment. Executing someone doesn't lower your murder rate. Someone mentioned the US in the comments above. In a lot of major cities in the US there is an extremely high crime rate. The deal out punishment like candy. So, punishment isn't your solution. If we look at the European countries, their crime rates are extremely low compared to the US. They are quite lenient with their punishment. If you dig deeper you find a common trend, a good education system with free education provided through to university and a good healthcare system. It seems they treat people like human beings rather than animals. So, maybe that's the solution. If a poor man is treated like a man rather than a dog you may get him to act like a human being.

Where did they get this title "violence interrupter"? Why not just called them community activists. How would these.two men stop guys from retaliatory killings? You sit and talk to a guy an dvn he says, "You now although so and so killed my boy, I ga just leave that and forgive him". Really? Really? This is a joke. You need serious people addressing these matters. This is a clown show right now. I'm not saying either men are clowns. I'm saying the whole idea of these two.marching into communities and getting young guys to put down their guns is a joke. Community leaders can help. The key word here is leaders. Two random out of touch guys can't make a huge dent in the problem.

I'm a little confused. It's 2024, why are we just getting 2020-2021 figures.

Nonsense! We need to fix the backlog of cases. I don't understand how the PM didn't figure out this bill is a waste of time beforehand. What sickens me in this article is that all of these defense attorneys are criticizing the bill but none have made a suggestion on how to address the underlying issue. A suggestion may translate to loss revenue aye? I'm pretty sure these defense attorneys given the lineup of clients that they have, they should have some good suggestions on how to tackle crime.

This article should have clarified what the issue was with the taxi drivers and Atlantis. On the pay increase, the cost of living is high. So, it makes sense to ask for an increase. The article should have stated when the last increase was done. I see that the responses here are pro-Atlantis. Let's not forget these are the same folks fighting like warlords against the Wendy's and Marcos pizza going over PI. If the union is being reasonable Atlantis should listen and try to find a compromise if the ask is too much.

That's reported cases. A lot of people don't get tested who have symptoms and you also have people who are asymptomatic. Also, the government tends to downplay the problem. So, I doubt he is being alarmist. I believe things are trekking in the wrong direction and he's talking now to make people aware so that they can protect themselves which would assist in reducing the spread.

Black people don't swim?! I don't recall ever seeing black people in knee deep water doing selfies. I guess any other group wouldn't do selfish at a beach.

Lol. This is.funny. kids, all of you go stand in the corner.
