So may God’s grace and mercy sustain us all through these trying times because when one of us get hurt(Bermudians),we all hurt in some form or the other regardless if we recognize it or not.
To Brother Santucci – AMEN AMEN AMEN! Well said indeed!!!
Hope they find the person. He is a nice person been his friend for years. Get Well Soon love
No cameras down the hospital? What about security? No nurse could remember them ? Something sounds fishy.. anyways r.i.p squid. Justice gets served by jah and he dont sleep
Maybe the nurses want to work another shift and help someone else without being shot at. Youtmon.
OMG no cameras??? Wow how can that be? Ok ok there is no way cameras aren’t in the plan of our new ‘state of the art’ hospital. That’s crazy no cameras! I was thinking they ran the cameras and it wasn’t a clear view of the person or something. Goodness me!
So now it’s a problem cos nurses and security aren’t giving evidence but its fine for the Girlfriends, ace girls ace boys bros etc to keep their mouths shut when they know exactly who is doing this……. Stupid comment!
No it is not okay @john if anyone knows who done it they should speak up stop tryin to be a smart a**. And @ terry your jus a **** ***** too first thing you go threw at emergency is security there in the parking lot and inside so were was they today. Stfu you just want to be a stupid **** and think people trying to promote badness **** off with that *** . Tellin me i made a stupid comment .. your just a old ***** who badminds youts .. stupid **** ****
If someone presents at emergency with life threatening injuries, you really think they are going to look around to see who is there? The nurses would jump in and try to save this man’s life…the hospital is not the police station or prison…..
bermuda brothers are lost fools,
and the boys at the yatch clubs are laughing it up
yacht
As if a lot of the ‘yacht’ guys don’t have their own issues and ‘goings on.’I understand why you said that but they are not without fault
You just don’t hear about it. Usually higher up.
