No faith in BPS. They have a police station on Court Street and drug selling not even one block away. If they can’t even stop that, then what chance do we stand. If I was Commissioner that would have been the first place I clean up once the new Police station was built. I know they will just go somewhere else but for Christ sake, make it look like you really care.

Past time to arm the BPS. You don’t expect a cop to go up against a gun with a taser do you? Would you? Didn’t think so.

No surprise here. If you didn’t see this coming, you have had to have been living in a cave or just not paying attention. As the economy contracts, people cannot afford to get high as much as they are used to. This will undoubtedly have a negative effect on the bottom line for the dealers and since they are the ones with the guns, what makes us think that they wont turn to robbery to fill that void. Wait until the average Joe starts to rob to feed his or herself, then we will see a real spike in robberies. Very unfortunate for the law abiding citizens, who will be at the mercy of robbers, why? they are the ones with the guns.

Before you start saying that I am advocating, that everyone carries a gun for protection. I am not, I am just simply stating the facts for those who may not have been able to connect the dots.

SMH: I think we have to take charge of this ourselves. Is is simply unreasonable for every last type of defense object to be illegal. As I said in my post above – we are sitting ducks. What a laugh these young b$&tards must be having at how pathetic we all are. All you do is walk up to someone and you can take what you want – cos guess what: They aren’t allowed to carry protection -HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

This is the island we live in folks – can’t even carry mace. Its illegal.

He encourages the public to remain vigilant, securing their homes and premises? Really is that all you got to say? So if I park my car in my yard and unlock my door and someone is brandishing a gun at me wanting access to my house what does this man recommend me to do? There is absolutely nothing for the public to do SIMPLE! Pretty much everything that can be use to protect ourselves is banned ! So the question remains… WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND US AS THE PUBLIC TO DO IN THESE SITUATIONS?! How about taking a few things off the bend list!

We the public, are sitting ducks. We are not even allowed to have mace to protect ourselves. The criminal element has the upper hand and they know that whatever house they go into they will have the edge – they’ll have the gun. We have our hands. Anything else is illegal.

Personally, what I would like to see is these young pssies attack the wrong house and see one or both of them beaten to within an inch of their lives. Or even worse.

I can personally guarantee that an approach to my house will give you a free ride (flashing lights and all) to emergency – or maybe the morgue.

The sooner this happens then perhaps these young cnts will start to think twice about attacking innocent people.

Unfortunately we cannot continue to blame the Government for not doing anything about this. We the people are the ones to blame. We here things and see things but don’t report them. We are giving these people the upper hand to continue doing what they do. What do you think happens to the things they steal they bring them home or try to sell them for money. Are we asking our kids where are they getting the stuff they bring home from especially if we didn’t buy it for them? Instead we turn a blind eye to it and life goes on. People we need to stand up and fight back. Teach our young people that there is more out there than a life of crime and running the streets but we have to do it together.

Thank you for the public statement, but … citizens need to be more aware of their surroundings? That’s not a solution – it doesn’t matter how “aware” you are if armed robbers invade your home or trap you while driving. How about the BPS & PLP becoming more aware of their responsibilities to properly deter and punish these criminals.

Afghanistan just beat Bermuda in cricket; Bermuda is about to beat Afghanistan in crime rate.

A cause for concern?

Stop talking – DO SOMETHING, MR. PERINCHIEF.

Now is the time for serious action. What is stopping you???
