Grew up in Bermy. Left when I was 16 still have lot family and friends on the rock. Visit often. These shooting mad sad. Coming down for cup match with my daughter, rethinking that. I think to myself the island is so small if the Police wanted to stop it they would. Why don’t they lay some licks on these cowards?

Ok.

So we kill people to show people that killing people is bad.

And we do this because of your morality?

Well if people keep getting on the TV and making excuses for them, things will never change. Stop all the black and white and deal with the people they are enslaving themselves. You need to get out there and get to the route of the problem (the parent) mothers and fathers You need to change the culture outlook. Teach them like your grandparents taught you to work a hard days work. This has nothing to do with anyone else except themselves. You mothers out there know what’s happening you just don’t want to except it because you are benefiting from it. Not all the of them But a lot of them. Mother have lost touch with there children. The children seem to be the bosses of the homes today. . Stop being friends and be parents. The end results are so much better. Material things are really not important as you think. The forefathers must be rolling in there graves. They worked hard to make this country and you lot are destroying it. Most of the time even in a married homestead the mother is usually the one to take care of the needs of there children. God help us all

I feel so sorry for the future generation on this island. In America, I watched my small town grow into a vicious city. First, it started with one or two shootings a year, then one every couple or months…. moving forward. There is a shooting every night, now. Our police watched as the problem grew worse and worse. Now, they can’t do anything about it. I truly believe, if we increase the community activity with our young youths, increase police presences in public venues, start patrolling and forming neighborhood watch. It may help.

You must come from stupid land.

Everyone in westgate for a firearm commited murder has plead not guilty and fought it. There is no one pleading guilty “just to keep the real killer on the loose”.

Stop watching t.v because your view is so far off of reality im starting to think youre a 10 year old typing this nonesense.

Like I said before.

STUDIES SHOW that the death penalty is no deterrent.

STUDIES SHOW that many people on death row are innocent and many others have executed only to be found not guilty after their deaths.

FACT: To execute someone cost millions of dollars. An executioner alone would charge a few hundred thousand. The appeals process would cost a few million. Housing them in Maximum security would cost 80 something thousand a year.

Do some research then come correct or stop spewing your ignorance

You raise a valid point. Surely the police anticipated that there could be retaliation last night. At least I hope they did! What was the strategy? Why were they not out in force, even if in plain clothes? Why didn’t the government issue a message asking for calm? What did the Minister for National Security do yesterday? I suspect the answer to these questions will be disappointing.

So tell me this the deceased family has to go without their family member while taxpayers pay over 80,000 dollars to house the killers for thirty yrs and they get to see their family and as far as people doing time for crimes they didn’t commit don’t u think if their was a death penalty that they would plead guilty to such crimes jus to keep the real killer on the loose

I received a phone call at nine twenty eight last night (private caller), wife answered no response just breathing wife hung up ,I called bps told them my number and asked for a looksee into it as any possibility if could be more serious in nature …of course…I then need to know.
The response I received was basically nothing we can do ,it would take a warrant to get that information…
So I indicated …conversely… What if they couldn’t speak and needed assistance?
To no avail,couldn’t quite grasp that I guess…
So I invoke my right have a written statement taken in case of eventuality of need to know and chain of evidence….
And you want to train and arm them?

My view is response is merged by budgetary constraint…and seriousness in nature…
Oh well…

Great idea, but they might make contacts in the Caribbean that could extend a criminal network. Also its less about respect and more about fear. I was thinking that a portion of any gun related prison sentence (even being caught in possession) should be spent in a federal penitentiary in Alaska, with the final two years being spent at Westgate where family and community support can be applied to help reintegrate the individual. Definitely would be cheaper for the tax payer.

Stop and think about this before you jump on the NO WAY WAGON………bring back UK cops. Heck, bring back the troops and let them weed out the area where the ‘rats’ are living and planning. Get the gang members and round them up and put them in a holding cell for a month or two and let them see that the Police and Government are serious. If any of them are foreigners, ship them home with deportation orders. If they are married to a Bermudian, then the wife/husband/children can either go or stay…..weed them out. Give the police power to do what is needed. Yes, I’m old and yes, I remember the riots and the troops being bought to the island….it worked people.

Then leave twit. The island is a mini paradise and it has nothing to do with the crimes. It’s the select few who are ruining our beauty and going to put us all further into debt as soon, tourists will simply not come – not even on a ship. So think before you speak twit.

I agree that something has to be done. It seems as if the price that people are haying to pay for their crimes is not high enough to stop this behavior so things are not getting any better. Certainly it is time to reconsider the penalties. There is no valid good reason for anyone to be in possession of a gun.

@Dread, why hate the island????

It’s not the island doing the shootings. Your comment is disturbing. It’s “SOME” people thus far doing these shooting and by reading the news reports (past and present) its “SOME Man” doing these shootings as I haven’t read any “Woman” being responsible for such a crime (unless it’s not reported). It’s amazing how “SOME” people like to “Over Generalized” these type of reports. It’s quite sad, really.

Now imagine if operation Clean Sweep was allowed to be completed & allow the one’s who are REALLY calling the shots not matter how high up it went to be bought to justice. A lot of the social ills we have today wouldn’t be to the scale they presently are. You keep pruning the branches & they will continue to grow until you tackle the bigger issue right at its’ roots.

Send them to harder prisons? Really? So they can come back more wise, knowledgeable and more criminal minded. Death penalty a’int gonna scare people who already don’t care about their life already its just gonna make criminals even smarter! The other silly thing i heard is to bring in an outside task force WOW sounds like you like our tax payers money going to waste. One was already been implement and failed joker!! The guy stood before Bermuda and told you our criminals are smarter than those he has ever come across via the the USA and parts of Europe. I’m sure most of you read the bible. Even tho i find the bible to be very contradictive. It did say the last days will come to this and only one person holds the cards and last i checked he AINT A MAN THAT WALKS THE EARTH!! Wake up and realize people are doing as they please all over the world. Those that wanna be heroes and jump in front of a loaded gun that’s on you but i stay in my lane and a’int afraid to go anywhere. people are being targeted for a reason so stop thinking people are picking just random people!! I was born and raised on the streets and one thing i have realized my 37 years living on this island/world disrespect has no expiry date. So doing somebody harm today can come back 10, 20 or 30 years later. stop trying to play both sides of the fence your either gonna be bad all the way or be a law biding citizen. Choose your friends wisely and make better decisions, cause in the REAL WORLD when a crime happens neither GOD or the BPS are gonna help you!! And that’s REAL!
