    • It is what it is says:

      Thank you Notorious! People always assuming the worst without knowing the details….

  6. GET YOUR FACTS STR88 says:

    ya, you guys are all wrong, i was actually up snorkel las night and them damn guys from either bahamas or jamaica that work on that cruise ship started it, they think they can just deal with bermudians anyway, but they sure taught them a lesson. and no, it wasnt over a girl LOL

    • Hmmm says:

      If you were there, please call 234-1010 as they are looking for witnesses

  7. Think about it says:

    One of the guys took a full force kick to the front of the face when he was on the ground, got knocked out cold. If they were Jamaican, serves them right. They always think theyr’e “bud mon” and carry on how they feel. Guess they were showed that crap don’t fly down here Lol

  8. LOL says:

    Typical Bermudians, always assuming. The cruise ship workers that got “assulted” are at Snorkel Park every week starting fights with Bermudian men. The only difference this time is that the Bermudian men they chose to start with decided to react.

    The real problem here is that Bermudians HATE EACH OTHER SO MUCH that they are quick to bad mouth and put the next man down. Maybe we should start to LOVE AND DEFEND each other, instead of always defending the wrong. Why are half these comments talking about the “hate” we have towards tourists? WHAT ABOUT THE HATE TOWARDS OUR OWN!!!!!!!!! You all are a bunch of horrible self hating people.

    • Can You Handle This says:

      I agree with you..A couple of years ago a similar, well actually the same type of thing happened..Cruise ship workers STARTED the fight with some local boys..they (cruise ship workesr) bit off more than they could chew and ended up getting ‘The short end of the stick”..Local boys arrested…Cruise ship workers never came back..case dismissed.. True story…my son was one of those arrested..So to all the naysayers don’t always ASSUME!!!!
