Mr. Perinchief sat in the front row of the BUEI theatre and watched the movie Operation Ceasefire. It has been shown at least twice in Bermuda and the OBA are encouraging the National Safety Minister to bring this initiative to Bermuda

We are not the only ones with a gang problem that is all so similar. Maybe we should take note to what laws they enforce in other islands to deal with it. At the moment we need any good suggestions put on the table.

And today we read that a female visitor and her young daughters were held at gunpont and robbed.
From our fearless Leader or her Government? NADA. Poor Nick Pedro left to calm our fears, urge us to be patient and have faith they will do all they can to “bring these perpetrators to justice”.
I would say another nail in the coffin of tourism but the coffin’s been lowered six feet down.
Do we ever see the “leaders’ get on TV and promise they will eradicate this crap? It’s a small town in the middle of the Atlantic, grow a set will you! If you can’t there’s a good many of us who will go hunting for you, just let us arm up to be on equal footing, get rid of these apologists running the prison while you’re at it. I heard they threw a leaving party for that female drug dealer from S.A.
and the church gave her a fair bit of money upon parole a few weeks ago? Yet you haven’t got money for Prison officers’ overtime?

I agree pass laws to outlaws gangs but oh yeah some activist will cry that an invasion of human rights. Well what about the majority of law abiding citizens rights to security and safety! Sorry correct me if I’m wrong what positive aspects come out of these gangs who rob harm and terrorize people! And don’t forget the vulnerable children who get into these gangs! Gangs are the root of all evil!

Increase in robberies (including armed) is positively correlated to a failed education system, a failed social system, failed parental support, career awareness, and moral code. These young people are a product of the PLP’s self centred, me, mine and to hell with the consequences attitude. That is the tip of the iceberg.

Nothing of significance has been put in place to prevent the next generation going the same way. It kills me.

Apart from the above, it has nothing to do with the PLP

There is a community effort going on in Chicago called “The Interrupters”…Operation Cease Fire. This Film needs to be aired on Bda TV or somewhere where it can be seen by all…it will probably put our homeland security minister out of a job plus save us money on consultants or whichever clever idea they think they have.
here is the link and a short trailer …check it out then voice your opinion back here ….i’d be very interested in your responses. http://kartemquin.com/films/the-interrupters

I think that NO prison sentence should be allocated with a “beginning or an end” per say …..you get convicted then you go to jail until you have been deemed rehabilitated 110%….no improvements in mind body and soul…there you will stay until ….lets see how many wanna go up to the “WestGate Resort” then.
also jus bread water n hard work ,,,,,dont wanna work ?, then you dont eat simple …instead of paying 70-80g a year cut it down to minimum daily requirements…then when they are rehabilitated…we may be able to use some of the saved revenue to get them started again outside of the walls…WHY ARE WE PATRONIZING THE MAGGOTS OF OUR SOCIETY BY SUPPLYING THEM WITH MORE THAN WHAT SOME OF US OUT HERE, WHO IS DOING WHAT IS RIGHT , HAVE!!!! F#@k!!!!WAKE UP!!

Can’t Take It, glad you showed up.

The Police need more funding to deal with the appaling crime on the island. But of course, there are always people who will believe any old nonsense fed to them, and stick their heads in the sand.

Here is an example.

When, less than 2 weeks ago, the OBA was telling the government the police needed more funding, your comment was: “to say the police need more funding when the Commissioner revealed his own report saying that crime is down makes no sense. There are more important things to talk about”.

Yeah right, the crime problem is all done now, nothing more to see.

The PLP doesn’t want to spend money on the police. It also doesn’t want to pass laws that will make life seriously difficult for gangs and violent criminals. It is satisfied with limping along hoping for things to get better. But they won’t, not without the leaders of the country really getting to grips with it. Pass laws that outlaw gangs. Pass laws that allow the police to hold without bail for 21 days when the alleged crime is violent or involves a weapon. Do something about the identification of bikes…make them have number plates front and back, make them have electronic ID, ban opaque visors. I can’t understand why the govt just sits and wrings its hands but does little to address the situation.

Fill me in on how this has something to do with the PLP?

Patrols are for HOPE (aka gambling). Community (or lack thereof) is for certainty.

So NOW they are stepping up patrols. Makes sense.

So are we back to reality now, or are the PLP still taking credit for crime being at its “lowest ever”?

Further armed officers to sit in the dark tinted cars on their dark coloured blackberries.
