Fed Up, I’d like to know what you would have said to a guy waving a gun around in front of your face and if you really think he’d have just said “oops, sorry” and walk away. FYI, your opening your big mouth in a situation such as that faced by the patrons of the barbershop would have probably resulted in your being shot as well. We’re not dealing with people with all their marbles intact, who are probably amped up on some illegal stimulant and are hell-bent on achieving their goal…anybody attempting to stop them in that moment would become just another target.

What makes me laugh is how some of us want to say that God is not the answer when there is a direct correlation between this islands choices to dishonor God and reject the Lord’s standards over the last 20 yrs or more and its downward spiral into heavyweight promiscuity, hate, violence, drug use, drug use, greed and murder! When we went to church and made sure our kids went to church we were building a moral foundation on God’s Word and when our children got old they didn’t depart very far from that training. Even if our parents did not attemd church regularly, they always made sure that we were there for sunday school and our parents had the sense to at least respect those who had given their lives to the Lord and were trying to live for Him. Now this generation hasn’t been taught about God or His love or His standards. We have shut His Word and His ways out and left them with no moral foundation. So when the storms come in their lives, like they do for everyone, they have no solid foundation on which to stand and make morally sound and honorable decisions. God indeed gave man freewill as He said, “today, I set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live.” deuteronomy 30:15-20. It’s the choices we on this island have made over the last few decades that have caused death to and destruction to run rampant in our streets. Too many of us did not choose life for our children by rejecting the standards that the Lord set for our own well being. God told Adam that if he ate from that which he shouldn’t then he would surely die. Adam was originally created to live forever but he used his freewill to turn a deaf ear to God’s words and although it took awhile Adam did finally die because the Lord is not a man that He should lie. So dont be surprised by all of this so called “sudden” killing and destruction, its simply the truth that the wages of sin is death and the fact that we have chosen to eat from the world’s ways and mindset and have allowed ourselves to doubt the truth of the living God just like Adam did and now our society is running around realising that we are naked and vulnerable and we don’t know what to do to truly change the mess we are now in. God loves all of us but He can not bless disobedience or rebellion. He said choose life so that He can bless us just like He has in the past.

What if I wear glasses and dont have contacts which allow me to wear shades? That tinted visor helps to protect my eyes. I can assure you that riding/driving with the sun in your eyes is dangerous and most times you cant see at all because it’s so bright.

1.147 S1 students stayed back at Berkeley
2. A law to disperse large groups was passed, yet drug dealers assemble on the same street as the police station EVERYDAY!!
3. Mothers buying their 17 year olds $1000 prom dresses and getting them hotel rooms for their graduation…9 months later similac
4. $400 for true religion jeans and your never worked a day in your life

Bermudians need to be real and start sharing the blame for the downward spiral of this country. There are too many parents raising materialistic brats, instead of hardworking respectable individuals. We now live in a society where owning true religion jeans and LV is more important then getting good education. It seems as though the basic morals that should be taught at home are being lost and being replaced with empty ideals. This is not an OBA problem or a PLP problem it is a Bermuda problem. As a people we really just needs to do Better.

I agree with you but at the same time, the bigger heads that are getting this weed through are the ones making the profit. There’s so many people selling weed now its actually difficult for the average foot soldier to make a killing, so why cut your profits by buying the weed to sell when you can ivade someones home with a gun and take theirs. The thing is they aren’t making profit off of these revenge killings, that’s why I’m saying drugs and drug users are fueling the war. If this government were to follow in the footsteps of what other nations are doing, and supplying drug users with what they need in a controled environment, it could potentially take the profit out of the gangsters hands. By prohibiting anything, you create a black market for it. Thousands of different types of alcohol out there these days and people still make moonshine although its prohibited, because there is a demand, and since its illegal, there’s a greater profit to be gained, for some its worth the risk.

Yes problem solved.
They use scarves so lets ban them.
They use t-shirts so lets ban them.
They use bikes so lets ban them.
They use rain coats so lets ban them.
They use hats so lets ban them.
Only dumb asses think that by banning anything will be of help. GUNS ARE BANNED FOR FAWKS SAKES!!!
Enoungh of the ban sh!t talk please!!!

It’s not about WEED anymore brotha! It’s revenge and respect. The real dealrs can’t make money anymore becuase these guys are makign it impossible to sit on the streets to sell it so they are all hole dup in homes etc. It’s not about that anymore. It’s anger and an eye for an eye and then you have the want to be or want to fit in ones that have so much going on in their lives that they feel this will make them important and accepted?????? This is what Bermuda has come too Sick Nation.

I think their idea is to look like everyone else. Ban red shirts and they’ll stop using them. Use your brain, all they are doing is using an every day item to mask their identity, ban it and they’ll stop using them, If not why don’t they just ride around with ski masks on? So if you ban a tinted visor do you think you’ll be able to get my identity through a clear one? Still not likely. Now add muzzle flash and richocheting bullets to the situation, what are you going to see? Nothing because your head is going to be so far up your ass looking for a place to hide you’ll turn yourself inside out, and the entire thing is over in less than 30secs. I say keep the visors and anyone with a passenger and tinted visors should be pulled over and searched, what grounds? Well I was told once, I fit the description of the guy they were looking for. At least right now the police know their MO and what to look for, until they switch it up. Its a constant battle of changing tactics. If you really want this to stop you should try stopping their funding, bullets aren’t cheap here and every drug user on this island including the large population of weed smokers helped to put the bullets in this man. Weed, a multi million dollar industry the government could be using to pay off our huge debt and take majority of the profits away from these gangsters (because let’s face it, a good % of this population smokes weed, old and young). Let’s do the math, due to prohibition the price of good weed, and I’ll be generous, is about $100 for 2 grams, 28 grams in an ounce, 16 ounces to a pound…the profit is ridiculous, and you wonder why this lifestyle is appealing? Do you understand how many pounds one person can turn a week here? I’d rather sit on a wall doing that than work and pay taxes. I haven’t even touched on harder drugs, because I don’t touch harder drugs. Prohibition and users are fueling this violence, not tinted visors.

That’s what duh is saying if we get rid of the tinted visors & you see a clown riding around with a scarf hiding they face then that should tell you theyre up to no good! Cause it’s no reason why they should needs scarf around they face if they have a full face visor (minus the tint) .. Come on now – we know it won’t SOLVE the crime but it will pin point suspicion

The dark visors are not the cause, merely a tool to disguise the perpetrators. They don’t follow the current laws regarding guns and murders, what makes you think that these dip$hits will follow a law banning visors?

Did it ever occur to you that they have to wait for the forensics people to finish what they’re doing before going into the scene? They do that so that the evidence is not harmed in any way.

I think most have lost that point.
Guns are illegal…they don’t care.
Murder is illegal…they don’t care.
Dark full-face visors…make them illegal…they’ll pi$$ themselves laughing.

The ones carrying out these crimes don’t give a rat’s a$$ about the laws, people or themselves…

I’ve read EVERY single comment on here & I’m confused beyond belief. For those bringing religion in this PLEASE STOP!!! God didn’t make this plan or set it in motion, I find it amusing that Christians use the Lords name when it’s convenient for them. JUST STOP! Say your prayers & keep YOUR beliefs to yourself. Ever since I was young I questioned religion because it was always manipulated. The comments on Bernews further my disbelief. As a child growing up my mom always said “Idle hands are the Devils Playground” <- this right here is Bermuda's problem. The youth have NOTHING to do. Yes, there are alot of youths doing GREAT things, but that's simply because they come from solid families. Most of the guys running around dong the shootings come from single family homes & was raised in poverty & getting into a gang lifestyle is seen as a way out. It never started as a "kill" society, it evolved into it as the yrs went on & the drug are became flawed. No one remembers what brought us to this point. No one speaks of the double crossings in drug deals gone bad, or the home invasions, or the robberies between the gangs because this does not interest anyone because you all (Bernews community) don't believe that such a cause is worth killing someone for. Once their (gangs) money flow has been seized or put at a stand still they do become restless & this does nothing but frustrate the gangs & they act purely on anger. If the "mole" was in the shop & did alert the shooters, I'm almost certain that when the shooting happened he ran like the rest of the crowd or got out of dodge before the shooters came. To all the Police bashes, CUT THE SH*T! The police act simply on what information is given to them & what evidence is collected. Yet, I do agree that our justice system is flawed & our prison system is a joke… Moving right along. The reason majority of one crew of gang is locked up is because they had a snitch in their camp. If the police are to find one in the other sides camp the EXACT same thing will happen. There is no way to solve this problem, Bermuda is just going to have to ride the wave & hope an innocent bystander does not get caught in the crossfire, yet again.

People have been, been saying that!!! But the law only acts after something happens. Social workers and family service are sooooo simple, they need awards for Most Daft.
When a showdown of the victims children and the killers children have a shootout in the schools…, well i cant even say they will wake up because they would say none of the children have a problem till they find which ones did it! Lol Dummies. Just imagine. Just like how they said for years theres no gangs. All the biggers where Lol The headline would probably read “Stray bullets hit school kids” Wait till the kids run the schools. If you don’t listen you will feel

When will these dark visors be outlawed and not sold on the Island. That is the common denominator in all of the shootings carried out on bikes. So why are we taking so long to outlaw visors. Laws come and go so quickly on the Island, why not this one tomorrow morning and before the politicians have off for the summer. Why not start a petition today to have them banned.
