What the
HELL is going on in the Bahamas? How could
the Bahamas (a so-called Christian Nation) have a consistently high
murder rate every year? If I didn't know any better, I would have
suggest that as citizens rather than voting for the same set of
helpless PLP and FNM political party every five years; we cast our
votes for the gang leaders and thugs on the streets.
The Right Honorable Hubert A. Ingraham (Prime Minister) of the
Commonwealth of the Bahamas was right when he made the statement in
the House of Assembly thereby using the word
“
Wutless”
Unknown to Mr. Ingraham, who had no idea that this word
“wutless” would so adequately describe the band of powerless
children (called Ministers) that he's leading. With the country's
murder rate as high as it is today, how could the Minister of
National Security and the Commissioner of Police be allowed to enjoy
a comfortable night sleep?
Watch this! If the Minister of National Security and
the Commissioner of Police were employed at Sun Atlantis and their
areas of responsibilities were tied into the high murder rate and
other serious crimes; these two clowns would be unemployed today /
FIRED.
There are fifty two (52) weeks in the year. It's an indictment
against law enforcement and national security if at anytime our
country records fifty two (52) murder in a year. I'm not as smart as
you are but I do believe that from a mathematical perspective fifty
two (52) murders in a year works out to one (1) murder a week. What's
the murder count today?
“Hello” Huston, we've got a
problem”
Everybody in the country is crying that our judicial / court system
is a mess. Now, this is only my (dumb Pastor Allen) take on the
matter; and not one of your educated politicians or one of the highly
anointed religious leaders.
Here we go: Had the majority of the elected /
honourable men and women in the House of Assembly were plumbers,
carpenters, farmers,etc; who had little to no knowledge of the law
and the constitution then the cry of the constipated judicial system
would be worthwhile hearing. But to the contrary both the former and
the present Prime Minister are lawyers along with 75% of the sitting
members of parliament and yet the judicial system is still a
disgrace.
Who said that crime doesn't pay? Ask the members of parliament /
attorney if crime doesn't pay? The criminals knows exactly which
attorney and law firms has the political connections or influence to
secure their freedom or legally prolong their case.
These are the kinds of issues and practices that are contributing
heavily to the constipation of the judicial system that nobody
(especially those in authority) wants to talk about.
It's
almost like a covenant between brothers / lawyers: “you don't talk
against or about me, and I will do the same for you”
As a Bahamian that loves his country dearly, I've discovered that
it's not our leaders vision to cultivate an It's Better in the
Bahamas environment for Bahamians. The Bahamas is in desperate need
of Statesmen leadership; for the past fifteen to twenty years the
country had to suffer the consequences of short sighted leadership at
the hands of politicians.
A question: What would warrant the powers that be to take crime
serious enough to bring about an immediate change of swift justice
and zero tolerance to criminal activities?
Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Minister of National Security and Mr.
Commissioner of Police
“Had 2 - 5% of these murdered victims
been tourist / visitors; would your approach to crime and the failure
to immediately overhaul the court system be the same?
Listen, I'm not a PLP or FNM; I am a concerned Bahamian who would love
to see his children's children grow up to be productive men and women
in the Bahamas. But with the murder rate climbing everyday and the
inability of the government to provide a safe environment for its
citizens I'm forced to seek this environment in a foreign country.
Leading up to the last general election the then PLP administration
came under intense fire / pressure from the opposition as it relates
to crime and murder; during this time not even the good Lord could
have told the Bahamian people that the FNM didn't have a crime
solution plan to implement.
Here we are today and the FNM administration is like a headless
chicken as it relates to crime and the high murder rate. To add
insult to injury the SMART / BRIGHT legal minded Prime Minister gave
nation his revelation on the murders
“the murders are the
result of some form of retaliation”
Okay, Mr. Prime Minister with revelations like that; after
politics this time you're well on your way to starting your own
religious church. On the other hand it's obvious that this government
doesn't have a plan or solution to curtailing murders in the Bahamas;
so why not just enforce the capital punishment laws that's on the
books?
Mr. Ingraham, the Bahamian people didn't elect British lawyer, Peter
Benenson (founder of Amnesty International) as Leader and Prime
Minister of the Bahamas. Here's a reminder, the crimes that are being
committed are happening here in the Bahamas and not in England where
Benenson was born and lives. Do you really think that Amnesty
International cares about families and loved ones that are being
affected by these murders?
In closing, the religious church is divided on capital punishment due
to the fact that there are to many scriptural unbalanced men leading
their own churches and doing their own thing. As I've said before,
the church in the Bahamas today is liken to a box of breakfast cereal
that's (full or flakes, fruits and nuts).
