Mr Harford – of Mission Lane, Pembroke – was arrested on January 8th, and at the time the Police said they found suspected crack cocaine, cannabis, a large quantity of cash and a loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol in the residence.

He has been held in Police custody since the time of his arrest, which is allowable under amendments made last year to the Firearms Act.

At the time of Mr Harford’s arrest, Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro said “The Bermuda Police Service can confirm the arrest of a 28 year old male from Pembroke Parish for Firearms & Drugs offences. Police firearms officers executed a search warrant at a Pembroke residence during the evening of Saturday 8th January, 2011. The investigation is being led by the Serious Crime & Drugs Units of the Bermuda Police Service. During the course of the search, officers found quantities of suspected crack cocaine, cannabis, and a large quantity of cash. Also found during the course of the search was a loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol.”

Mr Harford was remanded in custody, and will reappear at a later date.

    KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MY N&$%A

    • Clear View says:

      So do you think he’s innocent having being caught with all this in his possession at his residence, or just should get off because he’s your N&$%A, as you put it. I’m all for innocent until proven guilty, but when you’re caught in possession then what innocence can you claim?

      • whatwould u do says:

        the day somebody runs up in ya house n trys to kill u what r u gone do???

        • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

          Exactly!!

        • White Jesus says:

          Hmmn good question, what would I do if somebody runs up in my house n trys to kill me?
          Gosh…………I’m stumped
          Gee I dunno I guess I would….umm….decide to sell crack for a living. Yeah that’s the solution!
          Thanks for that eye opener! You’re a gentleman and a scholar!

      • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

        And ya thats his Nicca and what!! He ain’t said nothing you’ve mentioned playa, just KEEP YA HEAD UP MY N&$%A! A simple gesture of freindship. And here you are playa hatin!

    • Voluptuous Vixen 69 says:

      Hang in there Kai! My Boy 4 life! xoxo

    • itwasn't me says:

      your comment is sad……very sad….how many more are there that think this….Bermuda is full of drug addicts and dealers. The really sad part is that many of them dress up and go to work downtown like their S*&T don’t stink.

    • Seriously says:

      Really? It’s sad to see that a person could have focused on getting an education and worked in the reinsurance business or something similar, but they opted to go easy route. I hear Westgate has one hell of a view.

      • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

        Not everyhting is that simple I’m afraid. Feel where ya coming from and all, but not everyone is made out for that sort of life. Not saying it is an excuse or anything. All Im saying is things are different for some people out there and they take things differently than you or anyone else.

        Matthew 7:1 – Do not judge others, and you will not be judged!

        • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

          Oh ya…………….STAY UP KAI!!!
          Hate on me now simpletons!!

        • White Jesus says:

          Go tell that to the JUDGE!!!
          I’m sick of you ppl misusing Biblical quotes. No we cannot judge someones heart or soul but damnit we MUST and WILL judge ACTIONS!!! Why the hell else do you think we have courts of law with “JUDGES” and “JUDGEMENTS”??? It’s because when it comes to law and protection of civility we all must make judgements. If someone chases you with a knife will you not make an educated judgement that perhaps he wants to stab your silly arse? We are sick and tired of criminals. I am suffering too.

          Read Matthew 7 a little further where it says verse 18-20 “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM!!!
          We all know the criminals by their fruit!

            OMG – I actually love this post, and I hardly agree with you! ;)

    • Ian says:

      Shut up.

  2. PRICE......OF FREEDOM says:

    Shame this man has made such poor choices. Hope he will take the 10 plus year’s he’s about to get and focus on bettering his life. Maybe one day returning to society a changed man. Perhaps his story will persuade others to turn away from the lifestyle that may ultimately take their FREEDOM as well.

  3. Onlooker says:

    Believe half of what you See and NONE of what youe HEAR…..The “People” publish what they what you to read.

    • LOL (original) says:

      HA “Nothing is true, all is permissible”…………………..

      LOL

    • White Jesus says:

      Please do that when you’re riding on the road, natural selection will handle the rest.

  4. BermyGurl says:

    Someone should remove that grin off his face!

    • It Is What It Is? says:

      Maybe he was “grinning” at someone that spoke to him…which is the polite thing to do if you know them..we take postings out of context,,now we’re doing the same with pictures? geeesshhhh! I’m sure he’s not grinning because he is handcuffed and facing possible jail time!! be for real!!!

    • blackbeard de pirate says:

      he is happy because he is being reunited with all his ace boyz

    • imjussayin says:

      Its not really a smile his mouth messed up maybe he was tryna hide cuz they were taking pics.
      KEEP YA HEAD UP KAI!!!!!!

      • blackbeard de pirate says:

        my bad i forgot he was injured, dude is lucky to be alive. he should have left the island years ago.

      • Scott says:

        lol nah from that vid he was definitely NOT trying to hide..

        he does look like he was keepin aware and an eye out for people around him…

    • Sad State says:

      He isn’t grinning, he was in a bike accident and had to get his jaw rewired…his mouth is crooked and it’s simply something that can not be helped.

      • umm says:

        last i checked he was shot a few times in the face…. why so sad?

  5. imjussayin says:

    Some people are so quick to judge….some people do what they do because of necessity or they simply do it because they want to. You shouldn’t judge or analyze the guy because you don’t know him. KEEP YA HEAD UP KAI!!!! And for you critics I say that not because I condone the charges but simply because I want to.

    • Scott says:

      Free will works both ways.

      Do do something “because they want to” is definitely the sort of thing people can judge you for..

      if you do something because you want to, knowing most people will look down on you for it, then you better not be shocked when people start lookin down on you for it..

      As for “personal necessity”, thats a bit more emotional, but at the same time free will is free will. Tho it may be hard, it is possible to change ones situation.

    • Actslikeaduck..... says:

      Freedom of speech and of course KEEP YA HEAD UP KAI!!!!!!

    • Uncle Ruckus says:

      I never knew the thugs and criminals and their friends read the news. This is why we have a problem! People saying they don’t condone it when they do. Mothers don’t care what their sons do so long as they get a cut of their illegal activities and the fathers are long gone. I see it all the time and it’s disgusting, then they have kids and raise them the same way thinking its cute. Aceboys form cliques and think “the man” is just out to get them. I mean why can’t you shoot your rival dead? Why can’t you sell crack to someones mom,dad,brother,sister? Why can’t you and your aceboys beat up someone who stepped on your shoe? Yeah they just bully them for no reason!

      But I value my life and won’t say anymore because I do lol

      • Grizz says:

        You just keep on confirming that you are a true idiot! I am one of THEIR friends and I read/watch the news daily!

        • Uncle Ruckus says:

          Of course I’M the idiot but not your criminal friends who keep getting caught. LOL Don’t need to read the news when you are the news.

          • Uncle Ruckus says:

            Oh yeah and Grizz did you only read my first sentence? I made some good points, I’d love to hear you input on those. Seriously.

            • Grizz says:

              Uncle Ruckus you hardly ever make good points and yes after you insulted my intelligence I did stop at the first sentence. You take too much time trying to analyze people and act like you know why they do the things they do. I hardly think anything you say is SERIOUS. You can find someone else to share points with but I doubt it will be me. We don’t see eye to eye

      • Actslikeaduck..... says:

        Do you really think Thugs can’t read???????? Of course they can and so can their families. I don’t think any sensible person believes violence is acceptable; I just say don’t be quick to judge, wait for the evidence. Mother’s don’t always know, do you really think that? I guess if you have experienced it you would know, right?

        • Uncle Ruckus says:

          You missed my point. Duh they can read I know guys like this in real life. I don’t just talk trash on the internet. Most of them are highly intelligent but judging by their actions you wouldn’t think that. You really need to quit with the judging stuff. We all are well aware of what goes on in Bermuda. Stop pretending that some of these guys are angels. Yes I’ve experience so I do know. You clearly don’t.

      • Lissa says:

        Exactly uncle ruckus

    • White Jesus says:

      BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM!!! YES we do know these criminals by their crimes and thats enough for the execution of justice and a crimefree society. The Judge does not need to know what his significant others think of him if he’s breaking the LAW. THATS all we are concerned about. HOW THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR CHILDREN and Neighborhoods. I know him by his fruits. Thats more than enough for me. Don’t commit any crimes and as far as I’m concerned you’re an angel.

      • Actslikeaduck..... says:

        What are you on man; you have to share that stuff

  6. Grizz says:

    @itwasntme….what is so sad about their comments? People are merely stating that even though he is in this bad situation that he should keep his head up. People are entitled to show support whether someone is innocent or guilty, people still have family and friends. KEEP YA HEAD UP KAI! You’ll get over it Mr. ITWASNTME

    • itwasn't me says:

      well gurly….just wait until some crack head steals your TV, bike, tools, money, etc, because they wanna go to Mr. Big with enough cash to get a hit

      • Grizz says:

        and the point of your comment was??? what the hell does that have to do with what I said?!! and just for clarification I am no ones gurly, I am a grown woman!! Thank you!

        • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

          LOLOLOL!! You scurred him Grizz!!

        • White Jesus says:

          Be a MATURE woman and speak the truth so that others won’t follow in these footsteps. Stop saying STUPIDNESS like “duh keep ya head up”. It shows that you clearly condone the lifestyle. BE UPRIGHT and speak the truth even if it hurts. Why not express your hurt that ppl live this lifestyle? There’s a BIG difference between being adult/grown and MATURE. GROW UP!

          • Actslikeaduck..... says:

            Ah, comin from…………………..White Jesus, ok then

          • bermyshotta says:

            @ White Jesus – so what if ya boy gets locked up you wouldn’t support him?!?! or betta yet ya brother, cousin, or ya father? ya foolish man…an betta yet everybodys got an opinion an a choice so ya entitled to ya own opinion…even if it is looked down on in society…clown.

            • White Jesus says:

              I support my family in righteousness, never in wrongdoing. If my boy or family member was destroying peoples lives including their own HELL NO I would not cheer them on. I would take the opportunity to tell them how detrimental their lifestyle is and that I would support them to CHANGE!!! NOT to stay the same……clown.

          • Grizz says:

            FIRST OF ALL WHITE JESUS (ONLY IDIOTS COMPARE THEMSELVES TO JESUS) YOU DON’T KNOW ME. I DIDN’T COME ON HERE FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO JUDGE ME BUT IF THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY THEN GO AHEAD. IT IS NOT STUPID TO TELL SOMEONE TO KEEP THEIR HEAD UP, IT IS ONLY A GESTURE TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THAT YOU STILL CARE AND ARE THERE FOR THEM (STOP READING SO MUCH INTO THE WORDS). IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT I CONDONE HIS LIFESTYLE OR WHAT HE DID. AND WHO WOULD KNOW BETTER ABOUT THE HURT THEN JAKAI!!!! DO YOU FORGET THAT THEY MURDERED HIS BROTHER, DO YOU FORGET THAT THEY SHOT AT HIM TWICE? HOW’S THAT FOR EXPRESSION OF THAT HURT THAT THIS LIFESTYLE CAUSES. SO UMMMMM NOW LETS THINK ABOUT IT WHAT ARE YOU ADULT/GROWN OR MATURE……MAYBE YOU SHOULD GROW THE HELL UP!!!!

            • White Jesus says:

              My Pseudonym is not a comparison to myself. You haven’t asked what it means so simmer in your assumptions. STOP READING SO MUCH INTO THE NAME.
              #2 This comment proves that you don’t care about guilt or innocence. As long as it’s ya boy you’ll stand outside the court and cheer them on into the van and to west gate. You cheerleaders just cheer and lead the ones you love straight into the pits of hell. In fact you don’t love them at all. You just love the cheap pathological thrill of proximity to death and destruction at their expense, while you watch behind a safety net like when you watch a scary movie. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that experiencing emotion is experiencing empathy. It is not!
              As to your question, yes I am an Adult. I am continuing to Grow. The times when I consciously choose to act impartially and toward a greater social end instead of thinking selfishly about my own circle of associates are the times when I am most sure of my maturity.
              The times when I can say “man B I’m sad to see you in this disgraceful state, I wish you could change your lifestyle beloved because you’re on the wrong path.” Anytime you want to make a change you will have my support. That’s TRUE love! What you idiots are doing is SELFISH!!!! NO EXCUSES!

              • Grizz says:

                Okay so I’m an idiot and you’re an a$$hole!! There, now we both know how we feel about each other!!

      • Me!!! says:

        whos a crack head?? ;s

  7. Anonymous says:

    With all that he has been through personally one would think that he would keep a low profile or even leave the island. I pray for his family to have strength through all that they have been through including this ordeal.

  8. herbalist says:

    i dont think he’ll be reading your words of support any time soon

    • Actslikeaduck..... says:

      That’s what you think!!!!!

    • White Jesus says:

      They’re selfish herbalist. They are posting this to satiate their own desires. Trust me it has NOTHING to do with the person in trial. It’s a shallow and hollow self-fulfilling act at the gentleman’s expense. Verbal masturbation to someone who has no idea your pleasuring yourself to them.

    Give me a break people!! Crack? Pot? Loaded 9mm GUN? ALL ILLEGAL!! Good job BPS – keep cleaning our streets! (How many murders might that gun have caused? Who knows if those drugs could have ended up inside our children?)

    • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

      Nice one.

      THough we need to reduce the demand in order to stop the supply. Until someone can solve this problem then more and more will keep coming in. We need to focus on the addicts as well not just the dealers you know. Economics 101 fam. You take down 100 out of 100 dealers and think you’ve accomplished something when really all you have done is paved the way for 100 more dealers t otake their places.

      • White Jesus says:

        You wash your car and all you’re doing is paving the way for new dirt particles to latch on to the paint. And your point is? Look captain as long as there are no fools to take up the lifestyle, the ‘guys on top’ wont have anyone to sell to. And yes the other part of this drug ring exists and needs to be tackled as well but please stop with the diversions everytime someone is caught. In this world we catch little rapists and big rapists ok sonny!

        • bermyshotta says:

          @ WJ – his point was dat there will always be ppl to fill small guys, big guys, middle guys, whatever shoe’s. comprende?

          • White Jesus says:

            @ BS (pun intended) And my point was that there will always be new cops, prosecutors, judges and plenty of prison cells to keep the ‘shoes’ running. Comprende? So it makes no sense to say that someone will just fill the loser crooks’ shoes.
            Basically you are trying to say its a losing battle. I say it’s more like a stalemate but the criminal is in check. Sure you may have a space to move back and forth but the game is over so just give up already.

            • bermyshotta says:

              @ WJ – true of course there always gonna be new police, etc and vice versa wit criminals. It does make sense cuz it happens on a daily basis ya fool. It is a losing battle…whats goin on wit de war on drugs in America…they winnin???? I don’t think so…and obviously drugs/guns/etc are still comin in bermy so we winnin…i don’t think so. Game ain’t ova til de fat lady sings bra….sorry as long as theres money to go round…the world will keep spinning and crimes will keep being committed. check mate on ya behalf!

              • White Jesus says:

                @BS can I call you BS?

    BERMUDA NEEDS TO WAKE UP AMD SMELL THE COFFEE. GUNS SHOULD BE LEGAL LIGHT DRUGS TOO.
    PROTECTION IS VITAL NOW DAYS. ALL THESE ARMED BREAKINS.

  16. Bubbles says:

    It is a common trait for citizens to be lead by the media and the stories they publish. Having a tendency to blow stories out of proportion because like many other corporations the media are a business if no one purchases their papers they will not make any means. Let’s be for real there have been many stories posted in media outlets that are inaccurate.
    I’m not saying this story is right or wrong. What I am saying is that aspects of stories tend to get blown out of proportion. And the truth rarely prevails.

    So before you judge this story take into consideration whether the facts are based on hard core evidence.

    Furthermore everyone is innocent until proven guilty however in Bermuda immediately after a story is published the party involved is considered guilty automatically-which is quite sad! The media play a huge role in the influence it has on the citizens of Bermuda! We don’t know the in’s and out’s of this particular situation most of you all commenting are outsiders looking in.

    Lastly the question of whether someone is guilty or not , is not one that is addressed in a criminal trial in Bermuda’s legal system.

  17. Bubbles says:

    The system is biased a blind man can see that and for the those too ignorant to see it I feel sorry for you.

    KEEP YAH HEAD UP HIGH!! MANY PEOPLE MAY BE TURNING THEIR NOSE UP TO THIS MAN BUT THERE ARE 10 TIMES MORE THAT ARE BEHIND HIM WITH SUPPORT!!!!

    FREE JUICY!!!

    1 LOVE <3 X

    • BABY JESUS says:

      FUNNY HOW PEOPLE DON’T GIVE THEIR CRIMINAL FRIENDS SUPPORT TO GET OUT OF A NEGATIVE LIFESTYLE! IT’S LIKE YOU CONDONE YOUR ACEBOY’S STUPID WAYS.
      SELLING DRUGS AND CARRYING GUNS IS DETRIMENTAL TO SOCIETY.

      • Grizz says:

        HOw would you know whether or not people have tried to persuade him to live a different lifestyle? You don’t!! Stop assuming that you know what goes on in his life personally. and once again I say that just because someone shows support for someone in trouble doesn’t mean they condone what they done, it just shows that there is still love for that person and they aren’t alone…the fact that you call yourself Baby Jesus says a lot about you!

        • BABY JESUS says:

          @Grizz! If they did it didn’t work. Price called him his N&$%A! That’s the mentality of some people. It’s nothing wrong with showing love but how many times did anybody sit one of these guys down and give him good advice?
          It’s plenty of these guys out there that nobody is guiding in the right direction.
          Baby Jesus is only a screen name. It means nothing! Do your research and you’ll see but that’s a whole different story.

          • Actslikeaduck..... says:

            Rememebr just becasue he lives in the ‘back’ of town does not mean there isn’t anyone eduacated in the area that could have given him ‘good’ advice. I know of lot of young guys, in fact recently that live in the ‘good’ part of town that were paraded from court with similar gun charges etc. It’s funny I don’t recall this type of comment……………….hmmmmmmm wonder why????? That’s probably because it’s assumed they had good advice right. See this is the problem here in Bermuda. Tune into the BIG Conversation, youmay actually learn something. And …….who are ‘these’ guys????? Are they so different. Remember they are the small guys, there are bigger guys that make provision; they just don’t get caught. Business suits and the like, if you didn’t know you know now!

            • Grizz says:

              quack! quack! I hear you, but they won’t because you are not supposed to care

              • Actslikeaduck..... says:

                @Grizz, he who feels it knows it. Now, let me loosen my tie and get in my Bmer LOL Fire is burning!

              • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

                Nah watch that Grizz. The yall talk and they talking fro mfar away. They prob live country and telling stories like they know whats going on. What the old folks call it, the Bermuda grape vine. They living on that. So Baby Jesus (gotta love the Mexican name) and ActslikeaDuc (Mr. Quakers) are just hating thats all.
                Continue to support Juicy, inocent or not!! They wanna judge let em, but remeber this…………….Matthew 7:1 Do not judge or you too will be judged.

                • White Jesus says:

                  You just judged two people by accusing them of ‘just hatin’! You are damn right I hate this lifestyle and I am the enemy of all who have become bold in their criminal ways. You sit here and judge law abiding citizens as “haters” and you think we will not make a judgement about your emboldened arrogance towards justice? You will lose in the end!

            • In General says:

              These guys are ruining my country by partacking in illegal activity. WHY CONDONE IT? I want my island back and “these guys” regardless of where they grew up or currently live are taking it away from every law abiding Bermudian that cares about their country and countrymen!

          • Ya'll are just not smart enough says:

            And you would know this how??????

    you’ll be alright the lords on your side

    until we meet again!!!

    ((say what you got to say commentor, i really & truely dont gives 2 chuck about what the next man thinks))

    :)

    • White Jesus says:

      The Lord’s on the side of the righteous. NOT the crooks! You want the Lord on your side then get on the Lord’s side and not satan’s. You don’t give two chucks but you certainly made a clear effort to put up your walls of defence beforehand.

  19. S Brown says:

    Some of these comments are hilarious… Ignorance is bliss… some are quick to praise and support those who chose to live a life of destruction, but yet when other stories of positive people are heard/published hardly any support or praise. It seems like we believe strive off the negative sterotypes people impose on us.

    Gotta love BET and my people lol.

    • BABY JESUS says:

      @S Brown! It seems the dumb birds of a feather flock together. They embrace stupidity and ignorance. Yes you can have love for you idiot aceboy but don’t overlook his poor behavior. There is more to life than getting high and partying all the time.
      Hopefully they’ll live to be older and wiser!

      • Grizz says:

        so tell me what is dumber, us showing Jakai that we still care about him or the fact that your an idiot who calls himself Baby Jesus??!!

        • Actslikeaduck..... says:

          Love it!

        • BABY JESUS says:

          @ GRizz! Jesus was a a name made up by Europeans when they wrote their version of the Bible. The name Jesus means nothing. The real name is Yeshua. Put that in your aceboys crack pipe and smoke it. Find me one other Jewish person before or after named Jesus! Made up son! I just sonned you son!

          • Grizz says:

            how about I use your crack pipe instead…cause clearly you are a crack head!!

    @ S Brown- if you don’t know the situation you really shouldn’t comment!

    It is known and a proven fact people tend to regroup during trying times IDIOT!! And yes this is a trying time…do you not think this man has family and people that love him?! Furthermore, your quick to judge regarding “living a life of destruction” I take it you hold not one speck of dust in your eyes and your a saint who has never sinned!!?

    • Speechless says:

      Don’t most people on this island have families – yet we should feel sorry for crooks who tote guns and sells dope and destroys our society? Get a grip! You’re talking about sinning – most are talking about crime – sin is there to keep adults who like fairytales in order. Crime is the real world – you commit a crime – you get locked up.

      • Grizz says:

        @speechless, just for clarification (and I am not saying your comment was for me) no one ever said you should feel sorry for him. Just the same I don’t think anyone said he shouldn’t go to jail……just looking for clarification

    • S Brown says:

      First of all Bubbles, how am I quick to judge when I made a general statement on observations I have made from long time?

      lol at ‘trying times’…. well Bubbles, where i was raised in Bermuda people have been living in trying times from day 1 way before this recession and the one before.. Just because hardtimes have started to reach the middle class does not mean things were always peachy for all Bermudians.

      Most my life I have seen people glorify drug dealers and violent persons (before the spirialing gun violence) in my area. yet when they see you doing something positive either no comment or some condescending words. My issue is that in the Black community, especially young black people, we tend to glorify negativity and tend to ignore positivity… which in my opinion is the part of the reason why we are in the situation we are in.

  23. my people make me wonder says:

    why cant people just let people go back to selling his weed, crack, cocaine and heroine to society in peace!? everyone knows people just carry guns for their own protection cause people are jealous of them! It has nothin to do with the kind of lifestyle they chose! So what if their dealings help destroy society one person at a time! So what if they have been involved in violent and deviant anti-social behaviour! So what if they are perpetrating the stereotype that makes it harder on all of us in this country. So what if they influence those coming up behind them to join in the same dead end drug game! So what if they are part of a group that help make children fatherless. So what if they love money to the point where they will do just about anything to get it which includes unspeakable violence against another human being! They are my Aceboys and i’m going to love them to death by not making them accountable for their actions even if their actions put my own friends, & family in potential danger. and once they are dead or in prison for life I will mourn for them and blame society for the choices they made and tell them that they just dont understand why these men who i look up to as being strong wasn’t strong enough to make better choices. Why they were not strong enough to buckle down and get a legal job or even strong enough to work 2 jobs if neccessary. Why they were not strong enough to start their own business. Why they were not strong enough not to buckle to peer pressure and to tell their aceboys that they aint gonna be part of the problem. like how much destruction needs to go on before we get it my people? aint u had enough yet or are we still content to make excuses and blindly support the madness? if u cant see it through your own eyes see it through the eyes of our youth…is this what u want for your children, nieces and nephews??

      Finally, someone that understands LOL This guy has been charged with an offence; he has not been proven guilty for this offence yet. Until such time, then, it is alleged that he was in possession of the items he has been charged for. Correct? If he is found guilty by a court of law then he will do his time and there will be another off the street. No one in their right mind wants the gun violence to continue and in fact I don’t think they want it anymore either, but it’s gone to far and beyond their control so it continues and noone really knows why anymore. It’s not about strength to be productive and they do have their own businesses LOL, they sell drugs; it’s a business. Criminal as it may be it’s their business. Remember Goslings use to sell rum and it was illegal, do you rememeber that? In any event, returning to the topic at hand, my youth won’t be exposed but their youth will and the youth they have mentored per say. So those are the individuals we really need to focus on as they have been prepped and are ready to take over the reign……. Maybe we can use a different strategy in high profile cases, is there a way that this guy can have influence on someone or situation? If we continue to think and do the same things we will continue to get the same result. Let’s do something different this time around. FOR CHANGE!

I swear to you that if I was up for some charge like this, I would have been banished for tarnishing my families name. But it would never happen because my siblings and I were held to account from an early age, NOT by the police, but by the SINGLE mother, Never did she pacify us or our ego’s if we were in the wrong. Hell, I would have preferred POLICE intervention before the wrath of my family.

      • Actslikeaduck..... says:

        There is alot of people that have been up for alot of charges in life, does not mean you are guilty of those charges.

        That is what the focus should be, they have already convicted this man.

        I don’t know him from anywhere, just read in the papers and I am not a supporter of his but of a person rights to being innocent until proven guilty, but Colonial law has it as you are guilty and there is no way you can be innocent at any time LOL

  25. Speechless says:

    Does Bernews edit posts now??

  26. mixed messages says:

    this is the problem-

    giving shout outs or support to ‘keep your head up’ essentially is condoning their behavior even if you don’t mean to. no, i don’t know you or what you may have done to try and get your friend out of this negative lifestyle. but let me put it like this- if you had a nephew, for example, and you caught him doing wrong and sent him in to his mother for her to deal with him, how do you think he would perceive things if on his way in to face the music you gave him a huge hug, smiled, and told him “keep your head up, i got love for you!”…..? he’s probably going to think you’re on his side and/or that what he did to begin with was already forgotten and forgiven even before any punishment was given. by affirming your love for someone right in the middle of them doing wrong, they get the wrong message and it is perceived as support for their activities, despite what other things you might say to them. it’s basic psychology and i don’t think people understand how harmful their ‘support’ is when it’s given in such a way. you have good intentions, but you’re doing them no good. saying one thing to them but then sending mixed messages like this does not accomplish what you’re trying to do.

    the message that tells them is that “i’m cool, the system is against me but i still got love from my people!”

    i don’t know what is said or done privately, no doubt. but publicly the message you’re telling these guys- whether you realize it or not- is that it’s ‘all good.’
    you should be shoulder to shoulder with those who are admonishing these guys! but that’s the problem with bermudians and these young guys- there is no shame in doing wrong. no embarassment in going before the courts or getting in trouble. it’s become cool for a variety of reasons but a big part IMO is because of the support they get along the way. you’re sending mixed messages even if you don’t mean to.

    ever heard of tough love? it means you admonish them for their wrong and keep your distance, forcing them to feel like an outsider for the wrongs they’ve done. if you have that much love for these guys then you can quietly visit them in prison. they need to feel the pain of what they did, not mixed messages. and before anybody jumps on me, yes- i have loved ones who have done time. and they were ashamed and felt the pain of what they did because that is how their family and close friends handled them, publicly and privately. i don’t know what’s happened in private but in public it’s very obvious that such shout outs are perceived as support for their actions.

    • Actslikeaduck..... says:

      Forcing them to fell like an outsider………………..ah really, that’s the problem.

      If you do wrong you face teh consquences, but how do you know he has done wrong, the press told you???? The police have only charged him. Wait for the trial and let the law run its course if that can happen as you can see he may have a difficult time having a fiar trial here>

      I strongly beleive you do the time if you do the crime but you also have the right to a fair trial.

      Guess what, times have changed, I am fromteh old school too, but this is not working. My husband’s mother felt the same as you and abanoned him when he make a bad choice and he ended up doing a lot worse, I made mistakes and lots of them and my mother never gave up on me and through that love and SUPPORT, I rose up and became a responsible person in the community and to my family.

      Many of youhave so much advice but you are not willing to look outside the box or outside your comfort zones to find solitions like maybe doing something different to tackle this problem. There are many more gangsters in the making and your right let’s ignore and shut them out……!!!!

  28. Ignorance is Blissfull says:

    I’m truly amazed at the amount of ignorant people who are encouraging this “man” to keep his head up. And if it sounds like I’m judging him, than that’s too bad. We (the sane minded people) are judging his actions which have brought criminal charges upon his head. No one is saying he’s a horrible person who we hate and despise. We are saying he is a person who has been charged with selling drugs, and charged with keeping a weapon is not a person who makes good decisions. All of us make bad decisions.Some effect just ourselves and our families, others effect a whole community, a whole generation. When people can allegedly make such terrible choices with no care for repercussions or who seems oblivious to the harm it causes, than I will see him for his bad deeds and if convicted say that he deserves all the time he gets. Hailing this “man” up only shows us how far we have to go and how far gone logic is.

    • Grizz says:

      So if you had a son/daughter that was caught on these charges would you stop loving him/her…..truly ‘keep your head up’ is just a sign that someone still cares about you. No one is condoning anything, and when/if found guilty then he will do his time and even then we will continue to tell him to keep his head up. I think it’s amazing that so many people think we should just turn our backs and act like this boy doesn’t exist. Well I won’t, and I will continue to tell him keep his head up. If that make me ignorant, then so be it. But God taught us all to love. He loved a thief, he loved a prostitute and he loved murderers and he told us to follow his example. Nuff said

          What I do side with is the rush to judgement; i would support anyone who has been judged without a fair trial. You are proven guilty by a court of law and aapointment jury…..not by White Jesus

          Everyone casting judgment, this is the reason Bermuda is the way it is. Not because they are ‘siding’ with thugs, generally thugs side with thugs and that I am not. But, because before all the facts are clear and not by what he is charged for as the crown has to prove their case in addition to other things. Like was it in his back pocket or his backyard, list goes on and on?????

          You are the LOSER, by first calling yourself White Jesus, BTW he was Black and secondly for feeling you are worthy to judge.

              How can you say that an Indian, Chinese, African, Arab, or Aborigini is racist for caring that your GOD is WHITE and a JEW??? The doctrine is RACIST PERIOD! Those who care about race (as you say) ARE THOSE WHO CONCOCTED THE RACIST PAGAN MAN-GOD TRINITARIAN DOCTRINE to enslave and subjugate other non-arian races. Basically you believe that GOD created all human races and then chose to appear in the form of a WHITE JEW man. And you say that I’m racist for caring that GOD’s only child is WHITE??? That’s what happens when you falsify Christ’s teachings and say he is GOD when in fact he said none of the sort. Don’t get me started poppa this is a debate you cannot enter.

                Ace boy, why don’t you use my words to show I said what you say I said.. Oh you can’t cause I didn’t say it.

I did say you were a hater and the lady called those that are where racist read the thread. Trust me “Son” you could never win this augment you still have not stated if you could be happy living with white people in heaven or if you believe that just blacks will go. At the end of the day it sounds like you don’t know God at all so keep preaching your FALSE doctrine. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS WORRIED ABOUT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN SO MUCH SO YOU FORGOT THE MESSAGE.

                • White Jesus says:

                  WRONG!! I do not agree with you that Jesus was black. The problem I have with your false racist doctrine is that you say He is GOD or God’s begotten son. When you make a man GOD or God’s ONLY sired child that is RACISM PERIOD! There are white prophets black prophets middle eastern prophets etc and I love them all. Yes white people will be in heaven, especially those who worshipped GOD alone and did not perpetuate the false anti-christ white god trinitarian pagan doctrine. Race does not matter until you say that God only has one child of a particular race. So saying God (or His only son) was black is also racism. As for forgetting the message….you forgot that Christ said we are ALL the children of GOD. David was also God’s ‘begotten’ son poppa. The fact that people would make Jesus into the image of their own race is proof enough that their souls reject this falsehood. Because the doctrine is anti-christ and RACIST!

Also you are the one who has been making a big deal about what color Jesus was. Christians do not see Jesus as a prophet other religions do I happen to be a Christian I believe he was God’s son sent to absolve us of sins and open a way to heaven but I guess we will find out who is right or wrong when we are called. Till that day I have my beliefs and you yours. I stated I felt you were being racist and that people who are hung up on color where racist. I stated that God being all powerful could take any color he wanted to that’s were you got upset and started talking some rainbow God stuff and that that was rubbish. Do you remember now?

We live in a day and age where the person with the money, affords the best liar, who then tries to convince the judge who’s lies are the most factual. There is so much going on in our little island home in such a short space of time, it boggles the mind. Where were our elected official/experts when Bermuda was going thru the turbulent times? Open eyes people, things can only get worse. Many a case has been bungled by either contaminated evidence or contaminated lies/truth. Either way we look at this crisis, we have all made this little society what it is today. ALL OF US HAVE CONTRIBUTED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER TO THE STATE OF OUR PRESENT AFFAIRS. Just for the record, a lawyer is no one great in society, don’t life someone up cause they are trained to play the lying game.

  38. Bubbles says:

    What I am saying is that we do not know the ins and outs of this case. People are so quick to dwell on the negative rather than the positive in Bermuda. Maybe that is why this story has over one hundred comments.

    • myopinion says:

      As for “dwelling on the negative rather than the positive” – what else is there but negativity when you are talking about an alleged drug dealing, gun toting person? If I had to find some positivity in this story to dwell on, it is that the BPS caught this one and those drugs, that gun and possibly one more thug will be off our streets!

      Dwell on that…

  39. Uncle Ruckus says:

    So what’s positive to talk about this story? What ins and outs do we not know?

    It is obvious that you are slow to hear, quick to speak, and quick to wrath. My comments were that these situations concern us all. In any event, my comments were not to start a war amongst US. We all should be concerned, this is happening within a one mile radius of all of us.

    It starts with us. I’m going to be the man and apologize if a have offended anyone.

    This is exactly how the war all starts in the first place. I’m not the enemy here, nor the cause of it……

    Sorry, again…….

  42. :) says:

    It is ridiclous that these women are bringing in these drugs and getting caught, go get a job and stop taking the so called easy way out aka fast money go work hard 4 your money and save!!!!

  43. life and death is in the power of the tongue says:

    Ooh and Thank You, I have now posted a comment for you to see that I’ve congratulated Kyle Masters…..The young Lawyer.

    • It Is What It Is? says:

      AFTER it was brought to your attention as you were so busy critising others for posting on an article…and you turned out to be guilty of the same!!!

      Glad you did though!!!!

      • Uncle Ruckus says:

        And you talk about me? So what if people didn’t congratulate the lawyer? What is your problem? You are always trying to bark orders and control bernews comment section. Why don’t you help out the community and these young guys instead of making excuses and telling people they are wrong for how they think of them. Since you know it all, you do a whole lot of talking but don’t say a thing. Oh let me guess I’m writing in cryptic messages again? Try thinking about it before you respond again.

        • It Is What It Is? says:

          Refer to your above attempt to insult me in an earlier response!!!!! LOL!!!

  44. What The Hay says:

    When I see all of those police officers and a member or associate (what ever they go by)of Parkside take the walk of shame/fame only than will I truly believe in this flawed system. We have already lost some of our civil liberties to these wangsters….the police can enter your home without a warrent, hold you in custody for weeks without charging you…but I have yet to see Any “parkside” make the walk. We havent seen Kumi’s killer make the walk Perrys killer make the walk…Freddys killer…the list goes on…Rumors run rampant about parkside being on the police payroll…hmm. Kai, I wih you would tell what you know..Take relocation in England or wherever they send em..I wouldnt be mad at you… O yea Stand Firm ….you do have alot of support.

    • The Truth Hurts says:

      How about: Antonio Myers, Jamiko Trott, Roniko Burchall, Sanchey Grant – I’m running out of time to go deeper in the archives. Check ya facts. They have all been charged with crimes against alleged ’42′ members. Your move?

      • What The Hay says:

        As long as we can all remember and respect this FACT Truth hurts: OPINIONS ARE LIKE A**HOLES….WE ALL HAVE THEM.

  45. life and death is in the power of the tongue says:

    Not guilty as I’ve also congradulated him in person on many occasions. I have now done it publically only for you.

    Your welcome.

  46. my people make me wonder says:

    These guys CRIMINAL behaviour is like cancer and i’m including every single last gang member, drug dealer, thug and thief! And just like cancer, as long as people are willing to turn a blind eye to it, justify its presence and snuggle up to and caress it, then it will do what cancer does which is to continue to grow and fester. If this aint your lifestyle then dont get offended cause i aint talkin to you. but if you are one of those contributing to the corruption of this society whether by direct involvement or by cheering on those who you know are, or even by pretending to be ignorant of what your aceboy or girl is doing then i’m talkin to you. This aint got nothin to do with the innocent but everything to do with the guilty and the complicit. and if Harford is innocent then i hope he gets off but if he is guilty of any of those offences then he EARENED the sentence he receives.

    • my people make me wonder says:

      EARNED

      • myopinion says:

        Earned and DESERVED! Get real people – this IS like a cancer – if you know your son has cancer, you’d be sure to act on it, not let it fester.

    • BABY JESUS says:

      Just search Jakai Harford’s name on here. You guys want to be hard gangsters in paradise. Go get a girl and chill out. You gangster idiots must like being confined to one part of the island and getting put on the no fly list?

    The bangers here better watch what they say. It’s all recorded, and ISP will come back to bite you. Better than a bullet.

    Maybe close this down. Becommning more of a chat room.

    Even if we built a 100 foot dyke around Bermuda, and locked up every single drug dealer…we’d still have a massive drug problem. Prohibitions do not work- see the Prohibition/Volstead Act of the 1920′s- which ironically Bermudians played a part in- we were “rum-runners”(imagine taking a boat loaded with cocaine to the USA).Our tourist industry flourished, in part, due to the Prohibition. The Prohibition also was crucial in the rise of La Costra Nostra, the American Mafia, and the overtly violent era of the 1920′s when the Mafia was actively involved in bootlegging (See: Al Capone- St.Valentine’s Day Massacre).Our gangs are following a similar patTern themselves, as the violence has provoked a massive response on behalf of the BPS(btw google it- BPS officer makes $15,000 a month due to overtime as a result of policing actions due to the increase in incidence of gun crime)same as it did with the Mafia hub cities PD’s and the FBI in the United States;I think that they(the gangs) will eventually come to the same conclusion as the Mafia- violence is bad for business, especially when you live in a place that’s only 21 square miles.
    I read all of these comments, and for some, it’s easy to criticize the Big Bad Drug Dealer when you live in an ivory tower.I’ve come to realize there are two Bermuda’s – and the middle class overlaps in the center.But let me tell you, if you are raised poor in a materialistic place like Bermuda, it’s frustrating as hell. It’s maddening. You have no idea. And when you go and get a job that pays X, and the rent costs XXXXXX, the boss is making XXXXXXXXX, and selling drugs, no matter how bad it may seem to you fine and straightlaced folks, can potentially make XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, you can be your own boss, even though it certainly has got some serious strings attached, tell me now, what are you going to choose?
    REALISTICALLY. Now I’m not saying it’s right, but I’m a realist. And thats whats real.

    • tired of these weak azz excuses!! says:

      Listen Bruh!! You asked what are we going to choose?!?! We struggling Bermudians CHOOSE EVERY DAY TO KEEP OUR INTEGRITY! WE CHOOSE EVERY DAY TO DO THE RIGHT THING cause it’s the right thing to do despite the fact that it often means being the HARDER THING TO DO!

      • tired of these weak azz excuses!! says:

        u have to MAN UP in order to get up every day and work your azz off to make sure your family has a roof over their head and food even though u know u aint gettin paid enough! but u know u aint just teachin your children to work but your also teachin your kids integrity, honor, morals, and REAL STRENGTH! Teach your kids the strength to make the RIGHT CHOICES BRUH! That is one of the greatest qualities you can give them which is moral character! u gotta have a real backbone to dig in and do the right thing instead of following weak minded ppl down a path of destruction!! find a reason to do right instead of looking for excuses to do wrong!!! why must i go to work every day, even to a job i hate and then give u a pass cause u wanna take an illegal short cut! i’ve felt all of the frustrations u described above and guess what!? i still aint gonna be weak minded enough to become part of the problem in this community!! tired of these weak azz excuses from my ppl!!!!!

    Shut UbP. Go away BDA. Let the sheePLP govern the way they may.

    There is no way forward.

    Look to Eygpt.

    Or look to independant candidates.

    My brothers and sisters, we have been in a crisis for a while, and it looks grim.

    Why haven’t,

    “Anti corruption legislation”

    And

    “Whistle blower legislation”

    Been at the fore of all our social “concience”. It’s a moral issue, it’s Sunday, either you want to regain your soul, or, you have destined yourself not to lie down in green pastures..

    It’s up to all of us to decide.

    These controls would put an end to the “powers that be”, who control this illicit drug and gun trade.

    So, you will never see them, except for some watered down version, many, many moons from now.
