Yes she broke the law in the full knowledge that she was risking jail and/or other consequences. Bermuda’s protesters appear to be uneducated about, or just not accepting of, the consequences of breaking the law. Or perhaps they just don’t think the consequences should apply to them. Again, I do not condone pepper spray, but there would have been just as much outcry, and probably considerably more damage to life and limb, had the police begun arresting people – which they would have been within their rights to do.

Grand Atlantic? Court House? TCD? Berkley? The Cruise Terminal.

All no bid, all way over budget and all with clouds of corruption.

Yet THIS is somehow worse and justifies illegal activity to prevent it?

Laughable.

This is an airport. It is 2017.

You are a sad individual using the past suffering of others to justify protest over an airport and claiming that the principle is the same. It isn’t.

It is a race issue because this is how the PLP are going to challenge the government at the next election. Everything is going to be a race issue.

The same day the PLP come out with their new Good Governance *show* CURB releases a statement on the need for Truth and Reconciliation.

The PLP supporters here like OJ have been told to make EVEYTHING about race.

Get used to it. The PLP will use race to stir up emotions, however dubious the connection is.

Nope don’t think so. The majority is happy with the progress of the OBA and right thinking people haven’t forgotten that idiots blew through 1.4 billion dollars while Bermuda was in one of its most prosperous time. People can’t really be this stupid.

There are very few people that think that slavery was justified. Have you actually spoke with someone that said that or are you just being a highly emotional and over exaggerating?

I completed this survey and I will say that plenty of the questions were worded in a way to illicit a certain response.
Someone is paying big money to sway the minds of Joe Public. If all plans are on the up and up you have to ask why the need for these types of tactics. I am Bermudian first and I will always be critical of any government that is in power.
Democracy does not end at the polls, we do not elect politicians to do what they feel is best, we elect them to represent our voice. Our responsibility is to ensure that they hear our voice. Call, email, dialogue with your representatives in a respectful way that seeks resolution and understanding of differing perspectives.
Divided we will certainly fail, the problem as I see it I cannot identify a single leader that is seeking to unify us. We have a Government that seems fairly good from a business stand point but horrible at politics. In the opposition we have a group that seems to do well playing politics but when it comes to business strategy they fall short.

Sure, what is criminal about it? In all the information that is available to read in whole, it supports this as the most transparent and above the board government deal any Bermuda Government has ever done. You just don’t agree with it because it is being done by the OBA, if it was the PLP you would be heaping praise on it.

When people use mob rule to override reasoned debate, then they fail democracy. There is now more than enough information for reasoned debate, and that information has laid low the many false or misleading information that has been disseminated by the combined opposition, so in response, they intend to shut down debate. They are failing democracy. You talk about Principle… what is the Principle for inciting people to civil disobedience with false and misleading information…
