I could not agree more! Ashfield has given his all to Bermuda, not to be, hopefully, be disueded by some elements in Bermuda who need to be locked up QUICKLY.

I am thinking that parents/family of these boys/men/girls are afraid to report them – which in the end will be embarrassment to them when they are caught and incarcerated.

Please people, stop living in the world of denial or as some people prefer ‘de nile”. Situations have happened, are happening and will continue to happen (loss of your son,brother, cousin, uncle, god father, best friend, school buddy, football team member) and the list goes on.

It is YOU and only YOU that can put an end to this mess – how can you possibly live as you are – knowing and living in fear! How can you sleep at night, knowing your son/cousin/daughter/nephew/god-son or daughter is involved in these vile actions.

May the Lord so move you to be bold and strong!

Maybe they should start the investigation by looking at the certain gang member that was just denied parole the day before this car was set on fire.

I command you for that point Duane Santucci, no one is a coward. Think about it, someone who has a good job, good family life. Then some retard who has no life comes burning your car down. What you going to do go after them. Turn into the Punisher, so you can end up becoming just like them and going to jail for 5 years. When you get caught by the police and they will catch you. Now you lost your job and can’t travel. For what to go to prison end up being locked up like some dog. It’s nothing about being a coward. It’s about not being a fool to put yourself and your family in that situation.

The only time Bermuda has to worry about a silent man like me is when some sick pedefier touches my daughter. Sure the Court system will give them 4 to 8 years, but guess what I’ll be waiting for them when they get out!

TRUTH no one is coming to help us. See all the young men that have been shot. No one talks and no one helps us. Too be honest the safes place to be sometimes is in Prison.

I don’t think this has anything to do with Ashfield running or not running for office. Ashfield has been very outspoken lately about gangs and violence in the area and saying it needs to be stamped out. Maybe some punk is sending him a message to shut up.

This had nothing to do with switching parties. Even a blind man can see this had something to do with Devent talking bad about the guys that have been locked up in prison. I was surprised he came out and said that stuff to the media about PLP Rolfe Commissiong and what he stood for. Devent made himslef look like a elephant in the room. It’s a great deal of men that have been prison. What he thought these guys don’t have feelings. Right now these guys are animals in cages. That’s why everyday I speak to them with respect, so when they do break out they will say ” oh leave him alone he was one of the cool ones in the neighborhood” just like the gun violence this type of stuff will be a norm.

So Duane P Santucci, you disagree with Minister Perinchief, who called this an “appalling attempt at intimidation”.

So you evidently think Minister Perinchief is wrong.

And you think it’s not politically motivated.

People who dont print their real names in my book is nothing but cowards and to be frank this is the age of technology and we can sit right here on this little screen and trace you right down to the very corner of where you are sitting,your IP adress is something you cant hide niether the location of where you are.
so dont be afraid of taking on the giants because if you speak truth then it will stand and if you speak foolish or lies it will fall,I say this in all seriousness because you take the time t write your opinion and you are valued even if we dont agree with you,it brings balance and it brings growth in all of our lives.
so dont take this negative but positive,slaves had to hide and live in fear beacuse of retaliation,dont let their hard long fight be in vain,they fought that we could speak and not be ashamed,so that is why my name is there.I may not always be correct but I will definitely be heard as long as I can.the bigger picture I am my brothers keep and I will hold them accountable and like wise I hope they would do the same for me.

I have to say this that you are the first person that makes sense,I would go a step further and say I dont think it is politically motivated at all,we dont know what circles the man runs in or not or who he has made enemies with or not in his own personal dealings with folks,family,community or country at large.perception can be a dangerous thing

we also dont know if it is some foolish young individuals or individual that just saw that car as an easy target of using scare tactics to shake up a community or sending a message to a particular individual somewhere in the same neighborhood.either way what ever be the truth we cant assume anyting without the hard evidence to back it up.

Mr.Devent has been in the political backdrop and out of the limelight mostly and has not ruffled any feathers to say the least in some time so I dont see it being politically motivated,so lets be thankful it was his car and not his home or even worst himself.
we are glad that he is safe and o.k,he can always get a car,like a GP when the time comes but get it quick before Andre makes in roads to take your share of the pie.

I personally think this had something to do with him talking bad about the guys that have been locked up in prison. Someone obviously took his comments very personal when he spoke bad about former prisoners.
Bermuda is to small for you to say things about people now a days. These guys will seek revenge and come looking for you.

Point in Question look what happen to Mr. PLP MP Ashfield DeVent car!

That’s why most of you people, just like me never print your real NAME!!!

Very disturbing. This man gave his all for the PLP. They remove him from candidacy for one of the “in” crowd so he decides to go it alone (note that he did not go an join the UPB/OBA/BDA). So, PLP can’t disparage him and call him a sell-out, Uncle Tom, house negro, or any of the other disgraceful terms they have employed in the past against their detractors. Instead, someone (not saying it is the PLP, but someone who is upset that he is running against the PLP, perhaps) opts for good old fashioned third-world intimidation tactics.

Bermuda, be very careful. If this is a harbinger of future expectations the surge of airport and shipping activity that would follow will alter the new Tourism slogan from “So Much More” to “So Much Less”.

Please, if you have any desire for a future for Bermuda and have any information on this incident, no matter how small, report it to the Police of the Crime Stoppers’ Hotline. This cannot go unpunished.

That car is not burned out. All you need to firebomb a car is a hammer and some gasoline. These perps were kids or morons or both. Hopefully they are dumb enough not to fool the Bda police and shall soon be in prison. And you want to be careful about turning a water hose on a petrochemical fire… Maybe the car was hot and parked on some dry tinder… Our problem is IGNORANCE. Let’s stop pandering to criminals and fools, especially in our leadership.

whom ever did this felt empowered, emboldened, unafraid. There have been so many other anti social incidences on a much smaller scale with nothing being said. A general lack of respect for law and order because the police and the politicians were slow to respond to anti social behavior, only getting busy over the last 6 months because of an election perhaps?

If this is indeed determined to be motivated by Mr. DeVent’s contemplating running as an independent, this squarely falls in the definition of terrorism.

Terrorism – the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
