Well written Ryan and thought out. Your suggestions hit the nail on the head and it is paramount that we support each other. Forget the blame but now it’s time to provide healing for those who are hurt. Therein lies the strength of the community.

Blame the parenting of the previous generation. With better guidance we wouldn’t be so lost. Tired of the old bermudians referring to their old days. Wellllllll sorry old cats you were too busy worrying bout your old days you forgot to raise you offspring properly. Now we have people getting shot and shooting that had dead beat mothers and fathers that let them do whatever. Going to be hard to break this trend sorry. It’ can be done but the doubt is high

We keep talking all this black on black. What confuses me is when Police are doing Stop and Searches on the side of the road and they search way more black people than white people, we the black community go absolutely crazy. I don’t see white people running around shooting at each other. I don’t see white people fitting the description of the gas station robbery or bank robbery.

Nice article, guns have ALWAYS been in Bermuda the only difference is, back then guys used to threaten you with them and guys where a little more conscious and respectable. It started escalating out off hand when they had the disturbance a number of years ago at St. Georges Cricket Club when those dreamers attacked each other with machetes and 2×4′s. Now they’ve graduated to guns and their conscious levels are at zero and moral values are shot(no pun intended). I agree with your sentiments but violence is a part of every countries existence, and drugs will always be a part of our society and some countries are being run by it, especially those in HIGH places that protect and endorse it.
But keep on proclaiming the positive message and hopefully some lost soul can be saved.

This is the mentality that creates, grows and perpetuates. Just waiting for the band leader. He’s late to the party.

He will get his rude awakening. His community has no corporate institutions. He will end-up working for the government, real estate transactions or criminal law.

Well written and well thought out with concrete suggestions.
The underlying thought is that we all need to stand up and get involved.
I am optimistic about Bermuda’s future when I read such an insightful piece written by a young Bermudian studying abroad.
I look forward to you returning to Bermuda, Ryan and getting involved once you have your law degree.
Bermuda will, undoubtedly, be a better place for it.
Well done for being willing to speak out and get involved at your young age.
