No one mentions the greedy and money loving individuals who are manufacturing and selling guns. People do not look at the root of the problem they only look at the consequences which means those who are poor and those who are of African descent get the finger pointed at them.

The owners who manufacture the guns because of their love for money should be held responsible. They have blood on their hands also. But people do not look at the root of the problem they only look at the consequences.

The tobacco companies manufacture death (cigarettes) but governments have made selling and manufacturing of cigarettes legal. Malcom X: You can’t get into a whiskey bottle (alcohol) without getting past the government seal. Here the European and (those of European descent) makes the whiskey (alcohol) then put you in jail for getting drunk. Numerous people have lost their lives because of cigarettes and alcohol.

I guess when death of another is “legal” it is fine. All governments have blood on their hands. But people do not see the correlation because those in position of power have led them to believe whatever is legal is moral but legality is not based on morality it is based on power and who has the money.

One thing I know is that the failed war on some drugs is wholly to blame for what we have become, but hey let’s keep flushing millions down the toilet, escalating our debt, while things continue to get worse, and ignore the fact that legal drugs are killing many, many times more and no-one wants to speak up about it because the brainwashing has succeeded.

You can be trained in the way you are expected to go, educated and still be caught up in the life of crime. Not because he wants to but because threats are made against your family, your partner and so on or you disappear or have to run for your life to hopefully protect your loved ones. The innocent (children)are suffering because of ‘the life’ and we as Families and Communities must say “Enough is Enough” and mean it and stand shoulder to shoulder all over this Island. BPS, it is thought that you know who these people are and when you find them and whoever is aiding and abating them – lock them all up – Momma, Daddy, Nana, Pa, whomever. My grandson told me that he doesn’t want to go out because somebody might start shooting and he is 10 yrs old who shouldn’t be afraid to go anywhere in this Island. this is what your son’s who are living “the life” is causing and it is time to bring it all to an end!

Too many people take the easy excuse for not being a success, by blaming someone else.

Believe me, if I see something, I will say something. However, I KNOW where my kids are every night. They aren’t shooting or being shot at. They also don’t buy me flat screen TVs and pay my rent so there’s that…. Yes, this starts at home. If you chose to be a parent, THEN BE A PARENT.

Victimhood? Brexit is victimhood. If you stray outside the lines you will be in the victim camp as well. Watch the rise of the “Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” on this side and the other-side of the Atlantic. Then tell me about victimhood.

So if the Premier doesn’t saying anything, it’s because he doesn’t care. If he does say something, you say he shouldn’t because he doesn’t understand. He’s not asking people to loan him money just to give the police names. If people allow their kids to be criminals and sell drugs and then chose to protect them, then aren’t they part of the problem?

Improve the black situation in Bermuda and crime will fall… continue to ignore the race issue…continue to put money into prison and less into education… here is the result

one this i have to add is that there is proper education out there but it means the child has to actually do some work and parents have to support their children. I work with youth and have seen many graduate from the public school system with high honors and go on to university.
when our children enter primary school, (public system) they are all afforded the same opportunity, what they and their parents do with it i guess is enirely up to them. Stop blaming everyone else for problems that we can solve if we have our priotities in the right place.

They are a reflection of their parent’s frustration; if you think this is going away with your simple “See something, Say something” you are very wrong. You place your vices, homosexuality, gambling, alcoholism, etc. above equal economic opportunity and a proper education. These families are saddled with debt and job loss and you want them to come to your aid – not going to happen. Two very different worlds. The Gibbons and Dunkley’s will never understand and they don’t care. You still want to live here?

“Before I get to that way, I just want to add on also that I find it very saddening and concerning that while we’ve had 29 young men taken from us, too many sectors of the community who don’t even show much concern, other than right around when the incident happens and we move on to something else in life. That is not healthy for our community.”

Ok, this is a similar thing Baron said on the radio.

Exactly what do you want me to do? I have no knowledge of anything related to the shootings. I have no idea who is a gangster and who isn’t. I am just as horrified by what is happening but I have not called Mr. Baron or you, Mr. Dunkley, because I simply cannot assist.

What do you guys want from me?

Shall I call you on your personal phones to express my concerns? What good will that do other than to waste my time and yours? I have nothing to add other than my shock and disappointment with a certain segment of this island’s population who know something but who stay quiet.
