Given his official position, it makes sense that Fred Mitchell issued this bulletin. However, according to FBI statistics, in 2013, for the US black/African American population - the group with the highest proportion of murder victims - the murder rate was 15 per 100,000. In the Bahamas, our murder rate was 29 per 100,000! Both too high, but I wonder if he thought of this?! Of perhaps issuing a bulletin for young males, especially, to be careful while out and about in Nassau. Perhaps his message should be: "Be safe. Visit a Family Island this weekend."
