    To my young black brothers “Stop” the foolishness,too many lives have been taken for nothing.The Island can’t even begin to mourn one death before gunfire is opened again.All we are doing is killing our own.Nobody is making any money.Please use your mind as weapon not the guns.I know I not only speak for myself but others,we are sick and tired.Please,Please Stop.

    • Frazzled says:

      Thank you. What joy are they getting knowing that they have taken a life? How do they sleep at night or look at themselves in the mirror? Our children cannot live in peace because of this foolishness. Mr Gunman, your sickening antics are causing endless anxiety.

    The only way that this can stop is too sick to speak.
    Pleas to deaf ears is now what it is.
    My crystal ball says it will never stop now.

  6. UK says:

    If you think it will stop you are crazy!!

  7. Debbie says:

    please stop this, please its not a day that goes by that this is going on,we all have our cross to bare,really how many more have to perish from your ways,every family and neighbourhood is affected,children can no longer play the way your parents could play. you have practically destroyed a neighbourhood,.Please stop this, everyday Bermuda and everywhere else is going through this warfare,you are attacking families walking and playing with their children, stop it before you hurt a child,although the children are already hurt,because you have taken away their joy.

  8. TEE says:

    All I can say, when you take a life, be prepared to die. Bermuda is too small and words travel fast. Police might have no clue but your enemies know. I’m no gang member but thats common sence, You all look like idiots riding your bikes and looking behind yourselves every 2 minutes. Punks………

  10. 80's Baby says:

    #wayabored These boys have nothing else to do I swear!! Go get some leg for God’s sake, I bet if you f*ck boys put down ya guns and go one on one ya a**es would get durbied. Anyone can have power when they are hiding behind a gun, 42 guys are and always will be respected and loved because if you grew up with them or in that time you know what they were all about! Girls and money, what war??

    P.S. No this gunplay will never stop, it’s too far gone. Too much blood shed, sad to say but that’s what real.

    • (0.0) says:

      I agree with you. These are the little boys. They cant fight. They lose a fight, their feelings get hurt so they go pick up a tool thinking they bad.

  11. Withheld says:

    Well it’s not going to stop, these guys have lost family members, friends, brothers and more. They are hurting. . And in that world there is no respect for the justice system that has failed them and us. It’s now about revenge. There is danger in that the public may get caught in the crossfire but they don’t care about a society that didn’t care about them when they were growing up. Yes some will get out but others see no other life for themselves other than the one they are living. It pains me to think it, but it seems there is little that can be done at this point. Bermuda your island is changing, this is reality now.

  12. I agree with you 80′s baby, its a crying shame our own black men are killing thier own people because bermy is to small everybody is related, my heart feels for those loved ones that have lost there lives to this dumb ass sh%t, I feel so sorry for the generation of my two grandchildren,& the children growing up without a father that have been gunned down, its sad, bermy is finished, but aint nobody gonna chase me outta my country, ppl running england for there safety lol they have to come back some time. these punk ass gunners dont have no concious but catch them by themselves they are a bunch off p$%sies. on day is gonna come when they shoot a child & its gonna be worse all hell gonna break loose, gonna be just like when Tacklynn & Buck Burrows got hung, BERMY is finished. like it is said GOD BLESS AMERICA-WE ALL BETTER BLESS GOD. THESE R THE TIMES;

    KKK Sends Open Letter To All Gang Members!!!

    The KU KLUX KLAN would like to take this time to salute and congratulate all gang bangers for the slaughter of over 4,000 Black people since 1975. You are doing a marvelous job. Keep killing each other for nothing. The streets are still not yours n%%$#r…it is ours. You are killing each other for our property. You are killing what could be future black doctors, lawyers, and businessmen that we wont have to compete with. And the good thing about it is that you are killing the youth. So we won’t have to worry about n%^$rs in generations to come. We would further like to thank all the judges who have over sentenced those n%^$rs to prison. We are winning. Pretty soon, we will be able to go back to raping your women because all the men will be gone. So you gang bangers…Keep up the good work. We love to read about drive-by shootings.We love to hear how many n%^$rs get killed over the weekends. We can tolerate the n%^$r’s jungle fever (for now)… because that further breaks down the race. To all gang bangers across the world: we don’t love you n^&%rs, but we can appreciate you gang bangers. You are doing a wonderful job in eliminating the black race. Without the men…your women cannot reproduce…unless of course, we do it for them. Then we will have successfully eliminated a race thanks to your help and commitment to killing each other. If most of you $%%r gang bangers cannot read this letter, it is ok. Go pull a trigger and kill a n%^$r.

    • Where do I "BUY BDA" says:

      Wow. That was deep. Let’s hope it hits home to some of these ackjasses. I doubt it though

      So true.

    • Come Correct says:

      Thanks for keeping racism alive and well just to get your point across. The reference to the kkk is unnecessary and will just increase the animosity towards whites through generalization. Would you feel better if whites were dying senselessly too? What an assinine comment. So I guess pleading for them to stop isn’t working so we’ll throw the n-word in there about 10 times, label it as a message from the kkk and hopefully they pick new targets…gky.

      • yawn says:

        they didnt make that up. you can google it. i have read that kkk letter before. it does make a good point though (even if it offends some).

        • yawn says:

    There goes your warning, next time somebody getting hit

  15. SMH again says:

    If there’s no capital punishment then these fools will continue their madness..I bet if they still had hanging on the law books, they’ll think twice about taking a life….SMH in this day & age Bermuda don’t have capital punishment….guess we can give thanks to the late Lois Browne Evans for that.

  16. Time Passages says:

    The ‘N’ word on the second to last line was not bleeped out. Otherwise, well said – in a very sick sort of way.

    • Bernews says:

      Our error! Thanks for picking it up, its fixed.

      • Vote for Me says:

        I note the attempt to eliminate the socalled ‘N’ word. I am a proponent of freedom of speech but is ther anyway to moderate the comments to eliminate references to profanity and other offensive phrases without changing the message? eliminating a single letter in a given word does not do the trick.

        One reason for my comment is that many young people read these posts and we are making a permanent negative impact on them.

  17. Vote for Me says:

    @ Sheena
    Your post is excellent and is a real source of the problem. Just imagine what would happen if 100 white men were killed in Bermuda? I beleive there would be more of an effort to find a real solution (by the way I am adding road fatalities to murders to give an idea of how bad the problem is.

    Also of note is that the same people involved in crime and gang related activity often blame the ‘system’ or the ‘man’ for keeping them back. But by their actions they are keeping themselves back.

    Whilst I claim no knowledge of who supports the drug culture, carefully examine teh source of most alcohol in Bermuda.

  18. Thinking About You says:

    Everytime I read about gunshots on this road it brings back memories of the loved ones that grew up in this area who have fallen victim to these senseless crimes. As a young person I would like this stupiness to end. I’m sick of it. Now all the familes have left is the memories. Smh. Why are you shooting in this area?? Havent you taken enough lives from that area slready?? You may think your a bad a$$ now..but when judgement day comes, all of you that have taken lives will go straight to HELL where u belong and burn forever!!!

    Bermuda=Not the same

    R.I.P Joshua (Tati) I miss u so much

  19. Jamudian says:

    @Come Correct—racism is alive and well…I seen it heard it and smell it quite often!
    I doubt Sheena was trying to suggest shooting a white person–that would be just as bad as shooting your brother…shooting is shooting!
    Have you ever heard of the Willie Lynch Syndrome??? Its real and that is alive and well amongst blacks and whites…but blacks are the ones suffuring the consequenses… I think the message she was trying to convey is very true and is a possiblity if these fools dont wake up!
    The BLACK WOMAN BETTER WAKE UP TOO…The law enables single mother households, the fathers are just week end get aways for when the mom wants a break…The WOMEN ARE THE ONES RAISING THESE CHILDREN…MOSTLY!!! i LOVE MY SISTERS…YES I DO…SO DONT TAKE ME WRONG HERE. But what are you doing??? Stop keeping your kids away from there dads—no matter what these racist laws say! Stop covering for them, if you Love them stop it! True Love offers reproof–tells u when u are wrong!!
    One Love

    • yawn says:

      agreed. force these dads to spend time with their kids, force them to grow up…just as you singles mothers are forced to grow up..
      stop preventing and enabling these men from taking care of their babies.

  20. Jamudian says:

    @ vote for me, you sound hypocritical. Free speech is free speech…you think that these kids have never read or heard profanity?
    There is an African proverb—The monkey carrying its young n its back high up in the trees, dont say hold on tight to the baby. It just says look down!!
    We need to stop trying to shelter our kids from everything but rather teach them responsibility!
    Sheltering is the easy way out for parents/adults, it absolves them of their responsibility to teach the young ones difficult lessons.

  21. jookaaa says:

    R.I.P Bermuda….it will never be the same…and sad to say it is far from over. Gone to far…Police are all —! Smh. Praying for this hopeless island.

  22. SMDH says:

  23. kawat says:

    At the time of the gun shots a man was stoped by the Police about a half mile away for a back light flashing in an out – when they could be patroling troubled areas of Bermuda.
    Residents of the area say they saw no Police patrols that night until the gun shots.
    Simply build a Police Sub Stations were the are gangs.
    than the Gangs know that they have some competition.

    • Observant says:

      Great idea if our current government (in its infinite wisdom…yes, that’s sarcasm) hadn’t made whopping great cuts in the police budget…

  24. reap what u sow says:

    Yes it is sad that bermy has come to this but if I can remember clearly the 1st shooting that happened involved a park side person gettin hit. N I clearly remember wen park side 1st came into existance they was fighting against middletown with the same 42 that everybody calls so innocent. They basically created the monster that u c 2day. Any time park side got in a problem they couldn’t handle 42 would defend them n your right god doesn’t sleep that’s y u have a certain guy been shot twice seen a lot of his boys killed n his brother because he was the main 42 guy responsible for planting n watering the seed dats grown in2 the menace we know as park side 2day.

  25. Sheena says:

    The letter “KKK Sends Open Letter To All Gang Members!!!” was actually a letter that was left in the jail cell of a young gang banger on his bed. Didn’t mean to offend anybody, but its the truth.

    • Come Correct says:

      You should have said that, it sounded as if you were trying to spark something, but that’s my ignorance, now that I know the context I take my comment back. From a supremist perspective it is sad but true. They don’t understand the value of their lives, thankfully just a few out of many but still a few too many.

  26. Y-Gurl says:

    Bring in a gang squad from the US or UK to kick these punk a$$ fools out of Bermuda

  27. jbjvbdvbjsdf says:

    all you pleading for it to stop isnt going to change it so stop the dumb s$%t. if u know who they are then u do what u ahve to do to stop them. wheather it means going to the police or watever. leaving confidential letters, or making phone calls. if u dont know who they are then just hope n pray that it doesnt happen to someone u know or a family memnber if so vigilanty justice must be required!
