‘Scuffle’ In Dockyard With Locals & Cruise Crew
Early this morning [Aug 15] police and first responders attended an incident in Dockyard near King’s Wharf, in which “two cruise ship workers were involved in a scuffle with up to four locals.”
A police spokesperson said, “3:20am today, Tuesday August 15th, police and first responders attended an incident in Dockyard near King’s Wharf.
“Circumstances remain unclear at this time. However, initial information suggests that two cruise ship workers were involved in a scuffle with up to four locals.
“Apparently two of the individuals involved [one local and one crew member] sustained superficial injuries before both crew members were able to escape to the safety of their cruise ship.
“Inquiries are underway and any witnesses or persons that can provide additional information regarding the circumstances of this incident are encouraged to contact the Criminal Investigation Department on 247-1744.”
Someone please help me out here. The people have spoken and elected the PLP by ‘an overwhelming majority’, yet the violence and anti-social behaviour seems to have skyrocketed as a result! Is there a connection, and if so what is it?
Does the story say PLP involved in a scuffle? Might need to check to see if your brain cells are connected.
Exactly what I thought each and every time the previous Government was blamed for such wanton violence. But now it is different I see.
Come on guys. Im not a plp supporter by any stretch of the imagination but thats not fair. Its not like the problems that were the root cause of all this violence were going to magically dissapear if the plp got elected.
” Im not a plp supporter by any stretch of the imagination but thats not fair. ”
life isn’t fair, get over it pumpkin.
In my opinion the PLP by encouraging and supporting the illegal act of blocking Parliament have given the impression that the law of the land isn’t important. This kind of anti-social behaviour skyrocketed under the PLP in 2007 and has once again.
Bingo@
Vigilante, it is only going to get worse in the days to come. Sad it will be that way.
You sound so ignorant! How does this have ANYTHING to do with ANY government being in power???!!!! You think people in situations like this stop and think before they’re about to do dumb s*** because their government is in power???! Think again! This is reality! People will do WHAT THEY WANT AND WHEN THEY WANT! Anybody to blame the government because of people’s actions sounds pathetic! Get a life and step outside your dark hole!
All these negative comments are from our delusional OBA followers, I am sorry to say but you all have to get used to the idea that maybe the PLP will do good for Bermuda and you don’t have to care because it is not where you are from.
I would not have voted for the PLP, but I believe your logic is flawed. Your point has hints of alt right propaganda infused in it. You are being antagonistic, unsympathetic, and very naive.
Vigilante, this has actually happened SEVERAL times under the watch of the OBA. In fact, my brother has a job working security manning the gates at night because of various incidents that have happened over the last couple of years. This IS NOT a new occurrence, these local guys have been making trouble in Dockyard FOR YEARS!!
Thousands of people in Dockyard day and night in June, plus cruise ships. Not one incident! What has changed?
It’s allege to be a pharmacy deal gone wrong.
A political connection? I guess the OBA supporters are mad so they acting out. Ya happy now?
Might as well throw that one out there, well done. Why does every issue on this island get ascribed to political ongoings?
Did the OBA/UBP take ownership of the in 2014 double murder ? Violence doesn’t care about who is governing
It has nothing to do with politics. It’s the heat getting to everybody and causing short tempers.
How would be a connection to PLP?
Yeah its just a coincidence. A really big one.
There ain’t. That guy don’t even live here. America has it’s own trouble so he should clean his own house 1st.
@ Vigilante, you really do need help and your trying to stir up trouble in the process.
Unbelievable how naïve and ignorant some people are. PLP have not even been in power a month, what the bleep does people fighting have to do with any political party whether it be PLP or OBA. Go get a positive life Vigilante.
Unless you have been living under a rock you will have seen that the PLP played heavily on peoples emotions in the lead up to the election. People feel empowered with heightened emotions and unfortunately, some are taking it too far.
The PLP made a lot of promises and must deliver quickly or we will see a lot more of this behavior as the people’s patience wears thin.
We must be patient and allow time for change.

Your right only 70 days of the first 100 left wow
Drugs or rum.
Lets move on.
Unintended consequence of running a campaign of “two Bermuda’s”. Many now feel that “their people” are now “in charge” and “they can do as these please without any consequences” ….
“It’s our turn NOW SO STFU”
So you’re saying that if the OBA had won, these incidents wouldn’t have happened? The people involved would have been all “nope lemme chill, my people aren’t in charge”?
vigilante: your comments are childlike/juvenile
Probably hated foreigners, that’s why they had a scuffle with them. No surprise. Hate has deep roots here and shows its ugly face too often. Shame that the side doing it doesn’t see its own guilt and instead just blames the others on everything that happened and happens.
You’re correct on the hate but who has been spewing the most lately… take a good look at the comments
Right after Mad Mondays’ gets out hmmmmm…..
Not my son! He’s an angel! And brings gifts to!???
You all receive gifts too they’re only bigger. Invite them to the oval table with your friends so they can chill.
Got fired because it’s hot outside. I ain’t no Fournier, not my job!!
I see it all day long.
There’s a little bus stop being built across from Church Bay. Two months now! A (Bus Stop)!!
I lost respect for “government” workers years ago! The Unions have you by the collar. And you cripple Bermuda on a whim on their say.
People are looking for work: Your not doing your job: we pay for it. (Unionized workers in Bermuda get a whole lot for a very little return to our island!)
I think it’s time that heads roll, and we bring Bermuda up too the standards She deserves!
No matter your party!!
2 months for a bus stop ain’t bad. Took 10 months to build just the SIDEWALK portion along government house on Northshore about 4 or 5 years ago.
Seriously , awful lot of opinions for a story with no details as to who started it etc !
Exactly
I was thinking the same thing!
“Circumstances remain unclear at this time.”
This report couldn’t have been more vague and yet some commenters seem to know WHO started it and they even know WHY.
I like the way any fight not resulting in a stabbing is called a “scuffle”.
Got to downplay it I guess.
Welcome to Bermuda.
Bring your own Bullet proof vest and body bag,we have run out of them..
