Arrested for aggravated burglary and sexual assault, and they’re out on bail? For crying out loud. What the ….
I’m born and raised in New York however my wife grew up in Bermuda. My first visit to the island was back in the 1970’s and we’ve been back many times. We’ve always considered Bermuda to be our safe place to visit. I’ve met many Bermudians both black and white and have always told everyone I know that you will never meet nicer people anywhere in the world. I’ve told many people that were looking for a vacation that Bermuda was a great, beautiful, safe place to visit. The people who’s home was invaded in this news story are personal friends of ours and I cannot tell you how sad I am that this happened. Our hearts go out to all the good people of Bermuda and feel sorry and disappointment that it seems the good reputation of this beautiful island is being destroyed. I guess it’s time for us to find a new vacation paradise.
That is sad. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My best wishes to your friends who were the victims in this. Most of us here are outraged by this crime.
WTF are you crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you let him out on bail so he could go do it again?
