Police Identify Murder Victim: Joshua Robinson
[Updated] The Bermuda Police Service officially identified the 31-year-old man who was murdered on Saturday as Joshua Robinson.
The police held a press conference this afternoon [June 25] with Superintendent Antoine Daniels and Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro addressing the media.
The police confirmed that one man was arrested in connection with the shooting, but has subsequently been released after being “eliminated from the inquiry.”
At around 5.15pm on Saturday [June 23] two men on a motorbike rode up to Jason’s Barbershop on North Shore, with one man running inside and opening fire inside the barbershop, shooting multiple times.
Unofficial reports indicate Mr Robinson was shot while in the barber’s chair, while the other 5 or 6 individuals inside the shop looked on in horror.
The suspect ran out of the Barber Shop and escaped with their accomplice on a motorbike heading west towards Spanish Point, leaving Mr Robinson mortally wounded. Police attended the scene, cordoning off the area with crime scene tape while they began their investigation.
When asked on Saturday if they are treating the incident as gang related, Assistant Commissioner David Mirfield said, “I think under the circumstances, that is a good assumption to make.” Detective Pedro also said today the police believe the shooting was gang related.
Video of the police press conference this afternoon:
Mr Robinson was from the St Monica’s Mission area, and had recently spent time overseas in an effort to escape the gang violence occurring locally.
Premier Paula Cox, Minister of National Security Wayne Perinchief and Opposition Leader Craig Cannonier all expressed their sincere condolences to Mr Robinson’s family, and urged any witnesses to come forward.
The suspects are said to have been wearing dark clothes, helmets with dark visors, and were riding a silver or dark motorbike. Detective Pedro said he “I appreciate it has become a bit of a standard item in descriptions, the descriptions tend to be very much similar.
“But you have to appreciate the kind of crime that this is, its a gang related crime we believe, and the perpetrators often take steps to conceal their identity,” said Detective Pedro.
Mr Robinson leaves behind a devastated family, including three young children, and it is not the first time the Robinson family has had to face such a tragedy. Three years ago another of their family members was a victim of gun violence, with Kenwandee “Wheels” Robinson shot and killed in May 2009 in the St Monica’s Mission area.
Anyone with any information regarding the murder of Joshua Robinson is encouraged to contact Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro at the Serious Crime Unit directly on 247-1340. Alternatively, persons with information can call the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477
Superintendent Antoine Daniels’ full statement follows below:
On behalf of the Bermuda Police Service, I wish to begin by expressing sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of 31 year old Pembroke resident Joshua Robinson, who tragically lost his life on Saturday evening.
As previously reported, at about 5:15pm on Saturday (June 23rd) Joshua Robinson was shot a number of times, while inside Jason’s Barber Shop, located on North Shore Road in Pembroke.
He was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later by an on call medical physician.
Police immediately secured the crime scene and commenced a murder investigation which is being led by Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro.
The murder of Mr. Robinson represents the 2nd death caused by use of a firearm in Bermuda this year (2012), while an additional 3 persons have also been shot and injured.
Although these numbers represent a decrease in firearms incidents overall, this weekend’s shooting demonstrates the negative impact a single incident has on the community as a whole, especially when we consider Mr. Robinson was a young man who was in the prime of his life, a father, son, brother and friend.
As I am sure Chief Inspector Pedro will allude to and provide more specifics in his press statement, we are again appealing to members of the public to assist us in resolving this crime by reporting any information whether they believe it to be important or not to the police or via the Crime Stoppers hotline.
We in the Bermuda Police Service recognize that often there are increased levels of concern/anxiety within the community when senseless acts like the shooting on Saturday occur, especially when you couple this with the regularity of these firearms incidents since 2009. (There have been 74 people shot since Quarter 1 2009, with 18 fatalities).
However, we remain committed to identifying the persons responsible for carrying out these senseless & violent acts and will continue our robust approach to targeting guns, gangs and anti-social behaviour.
I now hand over to Chief Inspector Pedro for him to provide an update on the investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro’s full statement follows below:
May I start by offering my sincere condolences to the family & friends of Mr. Robinson on behalf of the investigating team and the wider Bermuda Police Service.
At 5:15pm on Saturday 23rd June, 2012, police officers responded to 911 reports of shots having been fired inside Jason’s Barber Shop, located at #107 North Shore Road, Pembroke.
A 31 year old man whom I can now identify as Mr. Joshua Robinson, of Pembroke Parish, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was declared dead at the scene.
Mr. Robinson leaves behind numerous members of family and friends. A forensic autopsy has been conducted by an overseas doctor, and the full report is expected shortly.
A full complement of detectives from the Bermuda Police Service Serious Crime Unit is investigating this incident, and it is being considered as ‘Premeditated Murder’.
Detectives have spoken with witnesses that were inside the shop at the time of the murder, and also with persons in the immediate area.
However, we are still very much interested in speaking with people that may have seen anything of note in the area of the shooting either before, at, or after the actual time of the shooting.
The suspects are believed to be wearing dark coloured clothing with dark coloured helmets and tinted visors. They were seen to be riding a step through motorcycle which was either silver or dark coloured.
The murder enquiry is being headed by Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro, and members of the Serious Crime Unit can be contacted directly on 247-1340 / 247-1739 or the main police number 295-0011. Alternatively, persons can also contact the CONFIDENTIAL & independent Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477 (TIPS). Any and all information received will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

My condolences goes out to the family and friends! NO ONE deserves this! NO ONE!!!!
you cant step up and tell the police nothing,do you really understand whats going on, I dont think so,I cant wait for them to switch up on them. Rip Totti
I’ve recently been explained what’s going on by a retired prison officer who saw the start of all this years ago. Where I had thought there were none of these anti socialist groups that call themselves gangs who were organized to be full fledged gangs I was wrong. There is one claimed gang that is very well organized & it has grown parish wide & not just in the area its known for. Many already know this including the police but for some reason nothing has been done to stem the growth & power this group has built up. While other members of other gangs are arrested & put away these ones seem to be untouchable. Anyone who knows about how gangs grow knows there is an underlying corruption that allows this growth. I understand the corruption of communities hear that allows branching out in these economically trying times though I don’t condone it but in order for gangs to gain this much clout there has to be more than community corruption involved. This makes perfect sense when I see news about new laws that only target certain areas with gang problems while other areas the law doesn’t remain enforced. I don’t know who’s to blame for this out of the law makers or the law enforcers & which part of the law enforcers but I know there needs to be an investigation into why one gang has grown so fast compared to the others here.
Exactly!!!!
Finally Sombody Said it Because this is EXACTLY whats going on!! This Madness reaches Far beyond the streets!! First of all these guys in the streets do not have the money or power to import Fire arms and bullets into BERMUDA and until folks start looking from the top/ Yes i said it Suits and Ties!! this Problem of Drugs and Guns and social warfare will never go away somebodies are making way to much money off of this AND THATS WHATS REAL!!!
RIP Tatti….Robinsons Family & Freinds you are in my prayers…Bless
I know that the men who commit these crimes come here and read these comments so I have something important to tell them:
I study an ancient religion, and I want to tell you something that you won’t hear in any church. When you commit a murder with premeditation, that is you plan to kill someone and actually execute that plan as opposed to killing them accidentally or in the spur of the moment, you are condemning your soul forever, and there is NO forgiveness for you. You are committing an act of blasphemy and that sin can never be forgiven-EVER. You can NEVER atone for that sin-EVER. You have had time to reflect on it, but do it anyway and because of your obstinacy you lose all chances of redemption.
You are condemning your soul to a fate worse than any hell you’ve heard of. Your soul will be in limbo going through many vestibules of hell-some say seven, some say nine but it doesn’t matter-you’ll be trapped forever, never being able to move on to any kind of relief. You will wail and beg to be released from those planes but you will be trapped- “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” is what is inscribed there. You’ll feel remorse for all the things you’ve done but it will be too late. You’ll be tormented by beings who come across you and will feel fear every minute of every day. You’ll yearn for your family and your loved ones but won’t be able to be with them. You’ll be miserable. Furthermore, the sins you’ve committed will be reaped upon your children and their children and you’ll be aware of their sufferings but will be powerless to help them-or yourself.
Words cannot describe this limbo or these hells, but you have been warned. When you kill, you don’t know but you have just proven to be your own judge and jury, and the punishment is already set. I can’t say it enough…this is no joke. You don’t know how much longer you have or when YOU will lose YOUR life, but you will immediately be transported to the bowels of hell with each one worse than the one before. There will be no flowers or grassy meadows for you no matter what good words are spoken at your funeral or if you ask for forgiveness if you have time before you die. You would have already decided your own fate.
I know people will say ‘God forgives everyone’. For those who read the traditional texts, look up this bible verse: Matthew 12:31-32 and/or do a Wikipedia search for ‘Eternal Sin’ for an explanation more in tune with what is traditionally taught, but has the same meaning as what I’ve outlined. Premeditated murder is blasphemy against the holy spirit and is an unpardonable sin.
It is important to sometimes read an entire text and understand its true value of the words that have originally been translated from the Hebrew and the Greek to the King James and onto The new International version and others.
Needless to say sin is sin in any form and truthfully put blaspheming of the Holy Spirit there is no forgiveness but pre-meditated murder is not blasphemy of the Holy Spirit,I don’t write this for confrontation or debate but to hopefully implore those that read this but wont read the Bible to go read the World’s #1 Best seller and see for yourselves what it does say by reading all of Matthew chapter 12 and corresponding books and chapters,along with it’s verses. I would ask that you also pray that the Holy Spirit would give you Wisdom,Guidance and understanding before attempting to read something spiritual with a carnal mind,so you can clearly have the appreciation of the depth of that which you read.
I would also like to to State with a closing comment that this same Bible has been argued about for centuries and will continue to be argued about to the coming of ourLord and Savior Jesus Christ but two things are very clear, That no man comes unto the Father in Heaven but through His Son Jesus Christ and that the shed blood of Jesus on Calvary covers all sin,Jesus died once and for all. Acts 4:8-12 will confirm what I have spoken of this day.
To the Family words of comfort is that you would continue to love one another just as Christ loves us and the God of our fathers will strengthen you in this times and the days ahead.know that we as a country mourn with you.
stop talking shi#!!! lets get this over and done once and for all!! anyone that knows anyone that is crimal acts, ACT them!!
Mr Santucci is so right people should read there BIBLE MORE CAREFULLY I WAS READING WHAT THAT PERSON SAID I KNOW THEY HAVE GOOD INTENTION ,BUT THAT SCRIPTURE DOSE NOT MEAN WHAT SHE OR HE SAID. GOD WILL FORGIVE ANY SIN AS LONG AS WE REPENT OUR SIN AND GIVE OURSEVLES TO HIM CHANGE OUR WICKET WAYS ,GOD IS JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS ,NOW WHEN IT COMES TO THE HOLY SPIRIT IT BECOMES DIFFERENT YOU CAN NOT BLASPHEMY THE HOLY SPIRIT ANYTHING YOU SAY THAT IS AGA INST THE HOLY SPIRIT IS UNFORGIVABLE SO BEFOR ANYONE USESE THE BIBLE AS AREFERENCE THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN
I’m very sorry but you are wrong. Most of Christianity misunderstands blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The Catholic Church seems to be the closest as far as interpretation is concerned, although Jevovah’s Witnesses also share a similar belief. Mr. Santucci talks about reading the whole text-that’s the problem…it is a well known fact that the Bible is incomplete and that’s why I’ve studied more than the Bible alone for a complete understanding-everything from the Zohar to the Book of Enoch.
This is my last comment as I’m not going to debate religion but I will explain in a nutshell why this is blasphemy and why it is unpardonable. First of all, we are created through the act of the Holy Spirit-to take a life away means you are putting yourself on the same level as the Holy Spirit and committing an act against it. Most people think blasphemy means just to speak evil-however, it mostly means intent…some people just have evil intent in their hearts and think they can commit evil acts over and over and God will forgive them each time but that is not the case.
Secondly, and most profound is that everyone should have a chance to ask for God’s forgiveness before they perish. Most people get that chance-even on their deathbed. However, when Person A kills Person B do they give them a chance to say a quick prayer and ask to be forgiven of their sins and accepted into God’s kingdom? No-Person A just does it without remorse and without thought for that person’s soul’s redemption. So do you think it’s fair or just for Person A to ask for their own forgiveness and for their soul’s redemption when they have denied Person B that and possibly condemned that person’s soul to Hell(s)? They denied that person a chance to be saved yet think their own soul deserves to be saved? Would that be just? Think about it.
I don’t expect the traditional Christian to accept this because they are taught that no matter what you do ‘Jesus will forgive you.’ Sorry but no matter what you’ve been taught, that isn’t how it works. You can’t just go to Church and drop an offering into the plate, silently ask God for forgiveness and think all is straight when you have blood on your hands. Anyone who thinks that will be in for a nasty surprise when they die. Furthermore, many people also think just asking for forgiveness from God is enough-but if you’ve done something like murder, you must also confess before man and accept whatever punishment is dealt in our judicial system here on earth. To ask for God’s forgiveness but not turn yourself in means that you are truly not remorseful, and that’s why that sin cannot be pardoned.
Here are two links that come the closest to what I’m trying to explain (that at one point salvation becomes impossible for some), with the corresponding Bible verses.
http://www.greatbiblestudy.com/unpardonable_sin.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_sin
BEFORE PAUL WAS CONVERTED HE WAS A PERSON WHO PERSECUTED AND KILLED GODS PEOPLE BUT HIS SINS WERE FORGIVEN AND GOD USED HIM TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL. MOSES WAS ALSO A MURDERER.
I agree that the murderer should confess fully which would also mean turning himself in. But a murderer in jail for his crime can repent and be forgiven.
Sounds like Dante’s Inferno to me but hey… if that’s what you believe.
The whole concept of hell as most know it could come straight from Dante’s Inferno but no. Dante’s Inferno says there are different hells based on what crime you commit and that you are sent to each one based on that….so if you commit a ‘little’ sin you get sent to a ‘little’ hell and vice versa…the religion I study says you get sent to a hell with each worst than the last. Just like there are seven heavens, there are at least seven hells.
I think this is Kabbalah…maybe the author of Dante’s inferno was a Kabbalist? Many ancient writers were. This post makes sense to me. If you think that you can do evil deeds over and over and are nonchalant about it by thinking God will automatically forgive you then you are being blasphemous against the holy spirit because you are thinking that the holy spirit doesn’t have a problem with what you are doing and are therefore basically saying that the holy spirit is as evil as you are. The bible does say that if you harden your heart and continue to do evil with the knowledge that it is evil that your sins won’t be forgiven. You are basically taking God’s mercy for granted.
That was the most amazing comment ever posted. I pray that everyone reads this. I read it to my children and they were in shock for they believed that God forgives all.
My condolences to the family of the deceased. I may not have known you but on an island like this everyone knows everyone in some way. When one person is hurting we all in some way feel that pain. We are all Gods children so therefore are all related no matter age or color. It only takes one person to come out and talk and we can then begin to take this island back. I just don’t understand how people feel that they have the right to take a precious life that has been given to us by only one person. (That person being God, for those of you who don’t get it).
I totally agree! An awesome read and I hope these wannabe thugs are reading! Every human being is born with a heart soul and conscience! God does not make mistakes. For the rest of their lives they will have that monkey on their back that they will not be able to shake off! Like said, you have decided your own fate! U might as well put that bullet to your own head. Condolences to Mr. Robinson’s family. May he rest in peace!
i have no idea where you come up with this theory but you’re very wrong, i’m sorry to say. it’s hard to talk about God’s forgiveness in a thread where the brutal murder of a man has taken place. God alone is the final judge and He knows the heart of a sinner- murderers included. it is hard to imagine God forgiving a murderer but only God knows if that person is TRULY repentant. i hate to even talk about this in the midst of such a horrific murder, but i have to correct your statement. king david murdered someone and yet God forgave him. the key is that david had a repentant heart and was greatly grieved by this horrible sin. Only God can judge and decide whether a person is truly repentant. only then can his forgiveness cover their sins. how exactly God handles that, is up to him. also, even with that being said, today that person should still pay the price for the murder in this life.
however it’s important to note that the unforgiveable sin is blaspheme of the Holy Spirit and this has nothing to do with a physical action.
If you’ve ever read the unadulterated version of the old testament the Torah you would know that King David was never fully forgiven. He & his son were cursed by their sins to never enter the kingdom of heaven unlike the more favorable prophets. If their not allowed to enter heaven there’s the only one other place they’re to go to in the end times. Another punishment handed down for David & Solomon’s sins is that their race of Israelites was allowed to be conquered, enslaved & dispersed by others. Many Bible followers like to meld the old & new testament together but they don’t because they contradict each other. One is about an eye for an eye & extreme punishment of floods, fire & famine & the other is turn the other cheek & let evil be. I’d rather look to the old then the new because I’ve never learned of any instance where evil was conquered through idleness.
I truly do not believe your argument Ancient vs King James vs Torah is the place for this…. But your encouragement to repent of your sins before you die and to be of service to the Lord (to speak to the persons responsible for this/these murders, encourage them to turn from their wicked ways, to be able to have everlasting life, to be able to sleep and have peace and in all of their ways acknowledge the Lord and He and only He -not someone encouraging and planning hideous crimes – but the Lord He will direct your steady and straight paths. Both HEAVEN and Hell are real and the Lord is the only person to have the last say in whether you will join the heavenly hosts or be in a place that everyone should fear and not want to go – HELL!! Be blessed and encouraged everyone and to the grieving families, God is a loving father and only He can sustain and strengthen you during these times and to Tat’s friends, allow the Lord to have His way both in your lives and those of the culprits and their associates, for He says in His Word “Vengence is Mine”.
always my family first kumi wheels perry and lushis now tati when will this ever stop. R.I.P BIG COUSIN I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY
If you miss him so much why did you not tell him to stay away.
Stay Away from what? Getting a haircut?
When we allow criminals to dictate what we do on this island we are giving them authority over all other authority. The wannabe gangs are trying to take over areas of Bermuda & people’s fears & compliance are allowing them to succeed.
WTF says somethign liek that SERIOUSLY…..You people are sick!!
Terry 06/25/2012 @ 7:49, wa do u mean huh like seriously stay away from what? what did my nephew ever do to any1 huh? unlike most yute who are outright disrespectful to people whether they are young or elderly he wasnt that person, very jovial n friendly… so stay away from what, getting a haircut from what?? no man explain.. n i am doing my best not to be up on here all vulgar n ‘ghetto’ trust me, because i am really not comprehending your statement @ all I would appreciate if you can clarify, thank you!
Playing stupid and turning a blind eye is a big part of the problem.
Also Bernews I’d appreciate it if you’d post my first comment, other comments that came after mine have been put through. It didn’t break nay law or involve any legal matter.
Forget the court of public opinion that is going to label Josha(Tutti)a gangsta because he grew up on St. Monicas Road or “42″, because myself and a lot of people know that he was a good person that did not deserve this. He troubled nobody ad shouldn’t be judged because of the reputation of the street he grew up on. He was INNOCENT! God knows you Tutti, so I truly know you are in beter place…
Too many unresolved deaths, not enough evidence for known killers, corruption, and bitter, grieving children. What we see now is previews for an all out shootout!!! It’s too crazy to think of a correction facility for primary age, well guess what, they won’t get caught or proved anyway, nor will they comprehend”PUT THE GUN DOWN!” So no information coming forth, start preying on those junkies, wave a little dope, start somewhere.
Too bad quote on quote thugs are protected by the man in blue. Just remember they are not your kind and will eventually turn on you, your just being used as puppets and too stupid to even see the preplanned traps set out for young black men. SMH! As bad as you think you are the real battle is between you and GOD pray GOD has mercy on your souls like you so selfishly had mercy for every fallen victim you murdered!
How can the POLICE not find killers on a 21 square mile island! An island that is overpopulated with overpaid lazy police officers that don’t do sh$t but drive around pestering civilians over fines and traffic offences! Do people really think the police want to find killers?!? NOOOO they don’t! I don’t wanna hear the excuse of people not coming forward and assisting! People do not have faith in the system that is why and who could blame them.
Furthermore, they know how to find patches of drug cultivation and can’t even find a killer! It shows you where their priorities are at!
Since you are an expert of solving crimes, join the police then! And you think the police don’t know who’s done these shootings and murders?? It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove in court.
Oh shut up! The police want people to help them, and once they do they are hung out to dry to become the next target and victim! Ask ANYBODY and EVERYBODY who has been to the police “ANONOMOUSLY” the FACTS of speaking to them “ANONOMOUSLY”. Your name shows up in the newspaper during the trial EVEN IF you don’t testify in court!!!! Do you think the only time something happens is when you read about it in the paper? Do you know how many people are held at gunpoint, beaten etc EVERY DAMN DAY in Bermuda because they have tipped off the police? There are cameras all over the damn place that DO NOT WORK!!! and are merely a pacifier for the general public TO FEEL SAFE who then come on blogs and shoot of their mouths acting like the police are doing this wonderful job!!! The police and media are the reason this foolishness continues! The police know who is doing this but do nothing to stop it. They would rather catch speeders then put out real surveillence on these a#sholes! They would rather call names in court, creating hype about unrelated people being a part of a gang when they are not, the media catches and runs with the crap, and now we have fresh targets on peoples backs because of THEM (Media and Police)!!!
Bermuda get your head outta ya asses, beach sand, or what ever else its buried in and realize what the hell is really going on on the 21 sq miles of HELL!!! What do you think is going to happen when they run outta targets from the opposite gangs? Do you think that it will all end then? When a DOG kills and gets the TASTE FOR BLOOD does it stop killing once all the chickens in the yard are dead?!?!?
Raising my fawking pressure first thing in the damn morning!!!
I WANT TO THANK YOU!!! REAL TALK
@ Unbelievable you are so right on so many levels…sad but true…..
J and J…It is to my understanding ( I don’t know how true that is) that the underlying root of this problem started with you two a few years ago……..can you not bring it to an end??????/
Just a word of advice be careful of you “friend” on bb, faceboo or any other social network…….not everyone is as genuine as you think……..
To the family of Joshu “Tatti” Robinson…you have my deepest sympathy..words cannot express……
COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!! Keeping It Real!! Don’t forget about the polytricksters they in on it too!!!
these guys that commit these crimes have no soul or heart or conscience. They have no value for life period. They just don’t care. Very sad situation we have on this island. People know who may have committed this horific crime but no one will talk. Just today i hear rumors of who may have done it and blah and blah, i’m sure the police hear the same thing, but do they act on it or not. That is the question? Some of it maybe just talk but it should be taken seriously.
RIP Tati. God bless your family and friends.
It is sad that the seeds of these crimes are sown into the hearts of people long before they actually do them and unfortunately when a seed of evil is sown it will reap a harvest some day. This man lost his life and he entered eternity and he sees much now. Those that committed this crime CANNOT and WILL NOT escape. They will pay and it would be better for them to step up and own up, or the seeds of their deeds will be seen in Their children and Their children’s children for 4 generations.
Some of us are suffering for the acts of our parents or grand parents and we are not even aware of their actions in the past. Those of you who committed this crime, make no mistake about this, if you are not caught your children, grand children, and great grand children will suffer. They don’t deserve this. Give yourself up or condemn them and yourself to a life of misery.
To the Robinson family I speak the peace of God our father over you through Jesus Christ our Lord. Undoubted your hurt may want to turn to anger and anger to bitterness and bitterness to revenge. Don’t. Mourn your loved one. Honor him in peace. Love who he was to you, and allow the God of All to exact revenge upon these people. Teach those around you to honor Joshua, and refuse to allow anybody to take revenge for his death in the same way. In this he seeds of peace will be sown and reap a harvest of peace for your family.
He was our brother, friend, uncle, neighbor, nephew and to some he was an adversary and foe, but he was a soul. According to the BIBLE, The soul of one man is worth more then the earth itself.
It is to bad that those who kill for turf that isn’t theirs, or drugs that once consumed has no value, and riches that they cannot enjoy, don’t understand the real worth of things and people. You own nothing in this earth. naked you came into it and you will leave all of it behind. “The earth is the Lords with all of its fullness, the world and all that live in it.” Psalms 24:1
Family….. Rest and Peace to you.
Where have all the young man gone , long time passing ,where have all the young man gone , long time ago ….. when will they ever learn , when will they ever learn ? We used to sing this song down at the Central School and wear poppies for Remembrance Day . It is a song about war , a very sad song about a terrible war were all of the young men of that generation was either killed or somehow physically or mentally maimed . For life ….!!!!! Good luck Bermuda .
@ Mountbaten. I remember that song when I went Central School. Teachers made sure we knew what it meant as well.
Every rumor has a little bit of truth. What is the truth????
Gaza are you saying that these murder victims are all related?
Must be hard on that family.
Firstly RIP Tatti. Condolences to the family loved ones and friends. He was always respetful to me and acknowleded me every time he saw me and inquired about my family.
I am convinced that these “wanna be thugs” commit these shootings/murders under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and have probably had a gun put to thier head to say if you mess up you will get shot. Also, some talk about shootings/murders are done by “new wanna be ganstas” as an initiation to the group to prove themselves. Either way it is wrong and I question how do they sleep. Obviously no concious. I beleive in Karma and what goes around comes around. Praying for island.
My condolences to the family of this young man. Last night as I closed my eyes, I thought about the family of this young man, how they must feel so lost and alone. But then I thought of the person who pulled the trigger and shot this man. He/she was probably sitting at their mother’s dinner table!!!!!You scum bag how dare you take someone’s son, father, grandson, nephew, godson. I hope you never have a peaceful night’s sleep, may the devil torment you for the rest of your life. I pray the family of Mr. Robinson will find peace.
I wonder how the parent’s sleep/feel knowing they borned the spawn of Satan… So I doubt that Satan will torment them but rather ensure they sleep well in order to continue his bidding!!
You people are all over the place in this forum… How did it turn into a religious debate? Mercy! RIP Joshua; will miss you..
I agree with Sagittarius … most Christians are falling into the dajal system and don’t even realize it…. They are not open mined enough…
It was all a plan and one race in particular sadly is falling for it in many ways.
I am a spiritual being, I follow no religion but I understand game being played on earth
I pray for the Robinson Family … I wish 42nd friends that have passed away peace and I ask that their children be protect from evil that plagues the Earth at present! I hope that the friends that I free and still alive listen to your love ones advice leave Bermuda, take your children embrace the true meaning of family and fatherhood. Don’t worries about the political talk of how Bermudians are living off England and overseas governments because they are running scared now.Don’t watch it! Go any where you want its a beautiful planet.
It is an opportunity for you, take it and run yes… enjoy life and grow! Its time
One love, Peace to us all
Blessed Be ,
Center yourself
Mothers who have lost their sons my heart goes out to you and I pray for you everyday … stay strong you was as you where made to be. you will see them again or feel their spirit
Evil will destroy the youth first becasue they a fresh , weak… and searching
R.I.P. all that have left this life to the gun plan in Bermuda
RIP Tatti , Miko …
Love & peace Bermuda
To all of you murderers out there who think that you wont be brought to justice. Shaki Crockwells killer thought that he had gotten away too! He is now doing 38 yrs in prison! Some of those who have been killed in the last few years had murdered or attempted to murder someone else as well! It is only a matter of time before justice is brought to you face to face because God is no respector of persons! Isaiah 59: 1-21 you will flee even when no one pursues you until justice is brought to you. It will come to pass! IT WILL COME TO PASS! GOD IS NOT MOCKED! He said that the blood of the slain cries out to HIM from the ground!
True
Hypocrisy!
Churches, Government, Families, and Gangs!
Done!
BATTLE BATTLE BATTLE – you’re all “christians” be god-like!, accept you have different views and values, lessons but know there is a God in whatever form each believes – REALLY?! Wth are they teaching you, to preach or argue – have faith, endure and love – believe as you will, pray for better.
For CHRIST sake!
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to You with heavy hearts and the need for Your Healing Touch right now.
Lord we’re in need of Your Touch to cleanse our Island home Bermuda.
Father Touch the many families that the enemy has attempted to destroy with violence.
Touch the offspring of the ones that have been taken away from us by this spirit of violence.
Lord we know that You are still in control.
You have all of our destinies set because You’re Alpha and Omega,
Our humanness makes it hard to remember that when we are going through Dear Lord,
Please give us that Peace that surpasses all understanding,
That Comfort in this time of mourning as we watch our Island being constantly attacked by the enemy.
Remind us Father, that You will never leave nor forsake us.
Lord God, as we mourn as an Island, we give you our men especially,
We know that the enemy will continue to use our own to destroy what love, harmony and anything that is of you. Touch them, Touch their hearts and Minds.
Let them know that You have great things and many blessings to bestow, because You are Great and Mighty Lord God.
Please go by each and every home that has been made emptier due to the spirit of violence that has made it harder for some to remain faithful to You and Your Word.
Give them that increase in Faith to call upon You when things become unbearable.
Even in these times of pain Lord, we thank You for Your Blessings in the midst.
Thank You for remaining the same Yesterday, Today and Forever More.
All These Things We Ask, In Your Son’s Name Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior,
As An Island We Say,
Amen…
Whenever two shall touch and agree…….Amen
Amen God is Still in Control
