    I hope it’s not too severe. Any updates?

  2. Oh no says:

    Oh no praying for a speedy recovery for this young man.

    I think its absolutely CRAZY how people have so many comments to put on Bernews about negative things and crime, but a serious accident happens and its none but 2 comments? Bernews shows me what Bermudians are REALLY about. They dont give a rats ass (sorry for the language) about our youth! Just tryna be pokey when gun crimes come about, shaking my head. Shame on you elder Bermudians! You have so much to down on us, but do NOTHING to help us. All you do is judge, see this young man here is a SOILDER. He will pull thru and make it, no thanks to government or any of you other “good people”.

    Stay up my boy, love you like life.

      What do governement or anybody else have to do with a single vehicle accident. I’m sure everybody hopes that this kid recovers, whoever he is. Young Voice we hope your friend recovers. What would you like others to do to help your friend who’s in the hospital??

      • Been there.... says:

        Pray! Pray! Pray!

      • Young voice says:

        I’m not saying I want you to help, the point is Bermudians have a million comments to put on Bernews about anything negative like gun play or drugs etc. but when our youth are hurting such as a accident you all having NOTHING to say. Even if it was just a million comments saying we’re praying, you all have NOTHING to say. THAT is my point, not that I want help, but that you all VALUE nothing that has to do with the success or care of our young Bermudians. All you care for if judging us.

        Think about that.

        Thank you to the ones that are praying.

      The single vehicle accidents and gun play have unfortunately become the norm in Bermuda. Very sad but we all see the bike riders everyday all day riding and taking their lives in their hands on our narrow roads.

    • Petra says:

      Young voice – your words really made me think. You are totally right, and I put myself into the category of folks you condemn, thanks for making me think about my actions, I know that now I will comment on the things that make me sad, or happy, rather than those that just make me angry.

      I truly hope your friend pulls through and he, and his family and friends, will be in my prayers tonight.

      Thanks for such a thought inducing comment in your time of pain.

  4. Gun “play”??? Hey, now…..nothing “playful” about something so deadly serious.

    • Young voice says:

      I wernt been literal when I said gun “play” its was just a TERM I used. Thank you for the blessings but F$%K OFF. Everyone else knew what I ment you A$%HOLE.

  5. Oh, and yes I send up my prayers for the young man’s full recovery, of course.

  6. Family says:

    I remember when he was 6 months old. He is a good guy and deserves another chance. It doesn’t look good for him. Please keep praying we appreciate all of them, but God knows Best, he has a plan for us all. Hang in there Young voice, I feel your pain and concern. This is sad, but it’s worst when you know and love the person.

    Take Care,

    • Young voice says:

      Thank you so much, I completly agree. He deserved another chance, but he was MY angel here on earth. I guess God had to call him back to that holy place. I LOVE YOU SHAE-QUAN! Until we meet again, my hero, my bestfriend, my heart.♥
