43 years old? Talk about being a bad role model for the youth…
Sounds like Batman & Robin.
And the Father of The Year Award goes to…
ready for war!
why you wanna start one…that would be a very stupid move little boy!
Really Sad. I’m glad they caught their Menace to Society arses. No telling how many more homes they have burgled. And whose home did the 4th rat run too??? I am praying it was his own home and nobody elses. Ten years each. Discouraged the rest.
These guys will up at the Hotel westgate eating better then us Christmas Day.
At age 43 he should be setting an example for the younger ones. He has to be caught up on drugs or alcohol. Definitely stupid. Yesterday tear gas should have been used after 1 hour. Wasting peoples time and inconveniencing the residents. A public whipping would be in order and lucky he not in some of those countries where they cut your hands off for stealing. SMH
Why waste time they will be amongst us again in 2 years….and the cycle continues (sigh).
NAME AND SHAME THEM!!!!!!
All these guys are dumb, they need to grow up and get a job.
A job in what. Doing what.
IB?
Ignorant Bermuda?
Please ignore the idiot above.
Thank you.
Or he can join the crack head in Toronto…
no he can just stay here in bermuda , dont act like there aint crackheads here too… stop that!
Or they can get a job in Lindos or Arnold’s packing shelves instead of the foreigners they have there . There are plenty of jobs but do they want them???? It is easier to break into people’s homes and steal .
waiting for the day some scumbag breaks into the wrong house!
talk about STUPID, 4 dumb a****,wanna bet “a social inquiry report” ordered for each, “they are good people” it’s societies fault,they are our responsibility, its the Govts fault they don’t have jobs. Would you want this trash working for you? BS. don’t waste the courts time, lock em up and loose the keys FOREVER.
There are jobs out there. People just think they are too good to do these jobs. Poor excuse.
I would have to disagree on that….If there WERE jobs out there we would not have over 1,000 people unemployed……
Why do the police always patrol an area AFTER something big happens shouldnt they be doing it anyways isnt it their job? I thought thats what they got paid for? I understand they cant be every where at every minute of the day but they should be patrolling more than a few days after an incident happens!!
overpaid and underworked….no more speed traps, foot patrol either. Old skool cops were concerned about a/c in patrol cars. aircon on, windows up, limits their ability to hear gun shots and cries for help.
They need parental guidence and a floggin! They also need their tubes tide so that they don’t create monsters like themselves. When is this government going to send them to Mexico or Jamaica’s prison system so that can do real time. If the government wants to save money, no more prison uniforms and provide one meal (Breakfast) the rest has to be provided by those who created them or they go without. This happens elsewhere, why not here??
