ACTUALLY Perinchief took it to Cabinet last year and it was denied. Hence the reason he said he will be “taking it BACK to cabinet with harsher penalties”.

Get your fact straight.

Bingo! Get rid of the ineffectual ‘soft on crime’ Government. Yes, it is up to the people. It will take the people to vote the PLP out.

And there is a big part of the problem. The PLP changes Ministers more often than some change their underwear. How can anything meaningful get done? Wayne Perinchief is one of the very few PLP Ministers who have a background useful to the Ministry he heads.

Seeing the Minister shuffle for 13 years is tiresome & does no good for the Island,

The problem is with in the people. We have to come together and fix it ourselves. Stop talking and go in the streets and talk to these so called “gangs”(which its really not and jus overexagerated by mr gang expert). Talking bad and negative about these gangs is not helping the problem and YOU people will rut in hell as well talking like you do.” Hang them,more time,send them away and lock them up”. Tired of hearing that. The world as one is messed up. we as one have to fight the evil because if we leave the SYSTEM to do it the island, the world will self destruct. Now shut up and go make a difference!!

He has been mulling, thinking about, personally wanting for some time now. This hasn’t gone to cabinet or to his colleagues in a documented format. He is full of talk and nothing of substance. Get on with it Perinchief and stop just talking around the subject. You are either a doer or are DONE.

You missed elect a new government to enact much needed change of any kind. Probably a bit more realistic too.

1. Make it illegal to be in a gang. Make Bermuda a world leafer in anti-gang legislation. Make the legislation watertight. No loopholes.

2. Make the minimum sentence for gang membership 20 years.

3. Arrest and detain the 600 known gang members in Bermuda (according to Jonathan Smith a few days ago).

4. Send them all to prisons overseas, where the wardens aren’t friends with them, and where they will have no cellphones, no network, no friends.

5. Make it known throughout the world that Bermuda might be a nice place, but it is an extremely hostile place for gang members.

6. Then we can all get on with our lives again.

Seems to me the changes need to be made in the sentencing that the Courts are giving… more time for drugs than murder – Gov’t keeps increasing cost of living, why not the charge for causing distress, confusion, heart ache, heart break, lonliness and more by up the jail sentences and fines….

I had a friend that was murdered in St. George’s – we don’t think his murderer was sentenced long enuf, as it is said ‘he got a slap on the wrist’…..

There is a young man in the hospital now – we don’t know what his tomorrow holds and what is the person responsible for his injuries going to do, hand over the keys to the car to the baliff and go on with her life (knowing that the Lord is in control), what about the courts… a fine, a talk and then walk… let’s go let’s get extremely serious with those before and those yet to come before the Courts – lower, upper and in-between (two new courts – give me a break)

The PLP have no clue as to how to get us out of this sorry situation we’re in. They need to come up with tougher penalties for these gangster thugs. I also blame the Police because for some dumb reason, they didn’t want a law passed to criminalize being in a gang and claimed it would make their job harder. YES, it should be illegal to be in a gang! The person who actually pulls the trigger is the only one charged in these cases-an accomplice, maybe, if they happen to be there at the time as well. HOWEVER,the other members in the gang know about it and help plan it so why aren’t they ALL charged with criminal conspiracy and being accomplices?

These gangsters-who read these posts-are nothing but a bunch of cowards who need to stick together because they’re too weak to stand on their own. They need guns because they’re too weak to fight hands-on. Any idiot can take up a gun and kill someone. Do you guys think about the pain your mothers will be in once YOU are dead? Haven’t you heard ‘live by the sword, die by the sword’? Who wants to live like that?

I know that if someone kills your friends/family you’ll want revenge-I kinda get that. But some of you are so willing to take a life for such petty things-because someone ‘disrespected you.’ Do you really think it’s worth it to take someone’s life for that? Who are YOU to play God? You really disgust me. The only future for you unless you turn from your evil, wicked ways will be a nice cemetery plot-you’ll be gone, dead, nonexistent and your family will suffer. Oh, and if there is such a thing-and I believe there is-there’s a nice, hot fire waiting for you and you will have nothing to do but regret your past ways while you burn for all eternity.

As far as Im concerned, anything the government does is good becaue its not their job its the PEOPLE’S job to break the gang culture. The government is not responsible for governing morals and spirituality, that is the community’s job. They should simply arrest, execute and imprison offenders. Put the onus on the public to do something and if we wont then simmer in your soup.

@ Triangle Drifter

Both parties have their problems, but dam man the Minister is trying to help us. If the OBA win the next election the new Minister will have the same advisors. Make some suggestions and stop always complaining.

Haven’t we heard this grand anouncement before? More talk. No action. The hallmark of the PLP. SNAFU.

Must be an election real soon.

The best anti-gang/inter-agency gang forces – FAMILIES…. are people really so afraid of their children that they can’t/won’t stand up to them…. I remember hearing and being told “I bought you in and I WILL TAKE YOU OUT”..and “You won’t ever be so tall that I can’t stand in a chair in knock your head off” and that wasn’t a threat, that was ‘FACT”….DONE DEAL! My head hurts when I even think about it – where is the ADVIL.
