I must say I’m the least bit impressed with how my generations of peers are going on today… 23 yr old female, if I’m supposed to marry someone on this island, how can I if they’re all killing each other… It’s sad to hear of them shooting at each other and the like. Why? Because you live two parishes in the wrong direction (according to “gang territory)? It’s already a harsh ratio of more women to men, all across the world, but why must we continue the killings of our men? Why can’t we band together like the people of America & protest that the violence stop!? Although they do it because it’s the police often, we should be walking through neighborhoods as they walk the streets to let these young men know “All Lives Matter” not just black. It’s only 23 days into 2016 and look at all the crazy s#it that’s happened… Unbelievable! Some will blame the political parties, others will blame the parents, but of course it all goes back to the individual persons. No one can force you to go out & just shoot..you do it on your own terms. Psychology/sociology would say these folk are a product of their environment.. True, but it should not be. Employment, or lack there of, should not be a reason to go out and shoot someone. Drugs and gangs are overrated.. They need to be disband. We’re only so big, we should be uniting not fighting, gosh were all more than likely related. Why God put us on this small island..and these young people are “doing the most”. 9 parishes… Not 50 states… Too small for all the fuss!!!! Those blaming government, stop regardless of what the oba have promised.. Those blaming parents, STOP . Most.. Most parents do the best they can. After that, it’s the person who has to make their own choices. I lost two cousins last year, one to a gun one to a knife.. I’ll never see them again, one will never see his child. It’s so SAD! But I know their parents did their best in raising them.. What they did outside of the raising was on them, but I’ll love them regardless of it (been the saying is you die how you live). Just saying, the only people to blame are those doing it. Us as a community need to come together and help stop what we can. Walk through neighborhoods, take our young neighbors to church.. Cause that’s all they need. A little Jesus. Lastly, the education system needs to ensure that EVERY school public and private are being taught BERMUDA HISTORY not American history. Teach them about us FIRST so we can have a sense of pride about ourselves as bermudians than maybe we wouldn’t want to kill one another!!!

You all seem to make jokes on peoples comments. At the end of the day someones life could be gone, or fighting for life, it is nonsense making jokes about peopls comments. No we may not agree on the verbage used by some people but that is their opinion.

I can say this to all of you who find it funny to crack jokes about the shootings, i lost my son to the unneccessary gun violence, he was raised right had the best of things, but c
hose a lifestle beyond my beliefs. When he changed his lifestyle it was too late. After 6 months of living right he was murdered.

I am a God fearing women and i know prayer changes things, we also need to stand together as a community. There is not a day that i dont think about my son or endure heartache.

You may find it funny but some of out here actually care
, the violence has to stop. This is lives and families that are hurting.

May Jah bless our island home.

Could be Mate, But of the 33 murders, How many do you think where WHITE? It makes us feel good to say it’s a community problem. BERMUDA IS DIVIDED UP INTO TWO COMMUNITIES. The black community is coming apart. Wake up and see what’s going on around Bermuda, MATE.

Bermuda’s crime rate, shootings, per capita (Bermuda about 64,000 people, compared to America’s with about 310 million people)is higher than America’s mate. Plus where there is a high percentage of legal gun owners the crime rate is a lot lower than where there are “no gun” zones.
So, you can preach all you want. You are entitled to your opinion but not your facts.

By: James Rego

James Rego — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 21:25:56 +0000

We need to look at some of these areas in the U.S. where similar shootings have happened. Why is it in the U.S. areas of millions of people and the perps are arrested within hours or less. We are only 60,000! There must be something missing in how our Police go about doing their job. Please get some help, preferably from the U.S.!

Not saying that camera’s would solve the crimes, but it would be a starting point. Maybe someone would recognize the build of the individual and actually be willing to come forward…or someone could recognize the bike used!!! Only asking a question!!!

By: hotshot

hotshot — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 20:58:44 +0000

maybe because people who commit these crimes keep their identities covered up with visors/masks/dark clothing/bikes without registered plates….if it were that easy we wouldn’t need police we would just have camera everywhere. lets think before we just say ANYTHING….

What a bunch of trash. The reason these punks are doing this, and it dosen;t matter if we have CTV cameras because they wear helmets, masks or whatever to cover their faces, is because of the drug world. Plain and simple, Territory etc. It’s like living in Chicago, the rates of killings have double within the last few years. I am so afraid that a child will be hurt while they ride by shooting. God help us!

Realist,

You are dopey. Last time I checked, one CHOOSES to become apart of the police force and have to assume that there will risk and danger associated with the job!

And if they’re unhappy with their “lower-than-the-rest-of-the-island’s deduction” paychecks, they should quit!

I am not sure of the quality of these cctv cameras, I will say it would be rather difficult to i d these folks if they had on helmets with full faced tinted visors and no licence plates. It is possible they knew each other. Hope-fully the young man reco vers and we need to keep the family in prayer. The police cant be every-where, this was middle of the day, over in a few secon ds. Culprits need some form of transportation, frequent road vehicle checks will result in some not wanting to ride cause they will have to show their driver,s licence, and they will certainly call each other..oh dont use that road a check point is here another there.

How is it that absolutely no one manages to see or have any further information to provide to the appropriate authorities? The knowledge of who these criminals are is without-a-doubt known on the island by someone or perhaps even a group – and none of them chooses to speak out…As almost as important as it is to catch and charge these criminals, those that stay silent are also aiding and contributing to this unrest. This is not a political problem nor a religious one, it’s not a black problem and it’s not white problem – this is a Bermudian problem and the sooner we contribute to the well-being of our society as a whole, as one family then the change can and needs to begin.

A terrorist attack is highly unlikely in Bermuda. These punks with guns are the closest we will come to domestic terrorism. Real men use fists to dissolve a situation, hence why I call them PUNKS!
