you can bring in whatever jurisdiction you want, but economic disparity will always breed such behaviors, it goes deeper then just what our youth are doing now. The root of the problem to be solved is how did they get to that point. The long and short of it is, if parents cant afford to pay bills, they will be forced to work longer and harder leaving their kids to raise themselves. Our families no longer raise each others children because we all are struggling with our own family problems. Fix the home, solve the problem.

actually they can, if they suspect you are about to commit an offense, but an arrest doesnt mean anything, youll be out the next day to do whatever u was going too.

@Scorpio, my sentiments exactly!!! or better yet place ALL their @$$&$ on a Barge, ship them out to sea let them fight it out and the last one standing can swim back to shore where the police can then lock’em up!!!

CBA – that’s TOTAL BS. These guys are not shooting each other up because they don’t have health insurance or because someone else isn’t paying employment tax. And yes, they are probably doing it for sport…or honour. Puhlease, the last thing these losers have is honour.

Ithink this foolishness has to stop. A known gang felt disrespected because another gang came in their supposed territory. Who the hell told these fools they own this area or any area whether they are from Somerset to St.Georges. They have it ALL WRONG. They all need to be schooled of what their forefathers went through to have voting rights, civic rights, abolishment of slavery and the privilege to own property.
Everyone should have the right to travel anywhere on this small island. You own property when you have the deeds from the BANK. This is black on black crime and until the wrong person gets killed then it will be fully addressed. All politicians have an obligation to deal with this issue and if you are not going to address this serious state of affairs then that means you are for it.
I went to the game yesterday and the events that led to the shooting was horrific as innocent bystanders could have lost their lives. Police were out in full force and this nonsense took place. Were they doing their JOB? They would have had known intelligence that two rivalry gangs teams were playing and this all happened under their watch. They need to be reprimanded severely. We want our island home back.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the lowlife arrested yesterday were also involved in the earlier shootings?

Another thought, I really doubt that the scum and their families read Bernews. I’d go so far as to suggest that they can’t even read.

i am sure most parents would send their kids to a place called cartel! not!!!!!!!

By: Bermudabreeze

Bermudabreeze — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:32:43 +0000

That really is the question! When parents have to work so much to provide necessities it is hard to be at home to parent. So the answer is more then likely they raised themselves.

Exactly Warwick West. The family of these young people know who they are and are not willing to com forward. The police and officials or the Premier CANNOT build a case or get the evidence needed to stop them. The law states innocent until proven guilty, most of those commenting /hinting that you know who these guys are -you are the ones that need to come forward and provide information. You want this to stop? Take our country back? It starts with US doing our part and stop protecting the ones committing these crimes. Look inside your family circle first, it’s always so easy to blame the government and police when you are all sitting on your a$$@ protecting sons, daughters, uncles, fathers and cousins!! Let’s get to the real core of the solution of how to stop this ! They are Not just hurting othe gang members- they are hurting innocent folks as well and our country !

There are no excuses, no solutions, just let them get on with it.

Parents, down to you until my lil boy who loved everyone, he wouldn’t hurt anyone, and then no one comes forward and yet it’s so sad. Pathetic, I’m so fed up.

No, it takes the courts to take them off the streets. The BPS merely catches them. It is the parole board that puts them back on the streets early.

You misunderstand what swat teams do

By: Blind Pews

Blind Pews — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 00:49:33 +0000

We already have a SWAT team, and we’ve had it for many years. It’s called the ERT team (Emergency Response Team). They are the very well trained Police unit who take on the most dangerous incidents. They respond to, amongst other things, firearm incidents and Firearm search warrants. They train with British and American SWAT units.
Did you think the officers carrying firearms in public were random officers that were just handed guns?

By: Born Bermudian

An Emergency Response Team (ERT), equivalent to North American SWAT, has been around since at least the 80′s. The Armed Response Vehicles (ARV) have been full time since at least 2009 and the amount of ARVs was effectively doubled during Dr. Brown’s tenure. At least know what you are talking about!!!!

Obviously you didn’t understand what he was saying about bringing in the British. Plus this and all the other issues we face are the Premier’s and the oba’s problem as they are the government of the day.

I’m really at the point of saying round up these fools, put them on one of the many uninhabited islands with their guns, and let them have at it. NO-ONE leaves alive.

The BPS can bust a house for weed but can’t seem to find not even one gun. What the Hell are they doing? They obviously don’t have a handle on it. GET THE GUNS! Anyone can go and rent or buy a gun brand new in the box so I’ve been told. But yet you don’t hear of the authority’s finding any. What is the problem BPS is it to much for you to handle? COME ON! kick some doors down start searching for these fire arms. You only have 22 square miles to search. Good Grief!

Disgusting. No respect of persons. At 4:30pm with 3 schools in that area, there are innocent school children going home from school. I would hate to witness a war zone at such a young age in my home where we used to ‘Feel The Love’. The young black role models need to be broadcasted just as much as these shootings because unfortunately this lifestyle is all that some people know! ‘We used to be able…’ but what can we do now to stop? Prevention is better than a cure! This is not a political problem!!! This affects BERMUDA as a whole!! thugs don’t care what you say you’ll do. Take action. PROMOTE things like Cartel and Anti-Gang influences.

Wow, surprised 3 arrests already. Still no arrests for many of the other shootings that have occurred on this small island. Maybe the ones arrested will spill the beans on the other shootings… somehow I doubt it. our biggest problem unfortunately, no one wants to talk. The motto on this island is ‘see something and say nothing’ sad but so true.

one minute you all don’t want to be associated with England, but now you do to help solve our problems. you seem to run off at the mouth a lot, do you have some constructive suggestions. this is not the Premiers problem be it OBA or PLP or other, the problem with our out of control youth lies with us all, so stop picking and start working.
