Video: Government Hosts Town Hall
The Government is hosting a town hall this evening [July 19] on community violence reduction and anti-social behavior, with the speakers including Minister of National Security Michael Weeks, Commissioner of Police Darrin Simons, and Gang Violence Reduction Coordinator Bishop Leroy Bean.
Minister Weeks previously said, “Community violence and anti-social behaviour is a community problem that cannot be remedied by one entity alone and I look forward to having an engaging discussion with members of the public about how we will tackle this issue.”
The 1 hour and 55-minute live video replay is below:
Were people allowed to ask questions without being threatened by “security personnel”?
good point. doubtful, isn’t it.
They don’t like dissent do they….
They don’t take kindly to proper robust questioning. It wasn’t long ago Burt refused to do an interview unless he could pick and choose which reporter did it.
Well he’s right in that this all stops when communities turn criminals into the police. But that has rarely happened, why should it change now?
Interesting choice of speaker too.
“Our time now”. A phrase promoted back around 1999 shortly after the PLP election win. “We don’t care what you think” was another classic said by a certain PLP Minister to show the PLP was in control. Well, now the PLP have to deal with what they created, which was it was OK to ignore laws and common decency. It is clearly a problem within a specific segment of Bermuda’s population who were encouraged to rebel against the norm.
If you placed this type of trolling work in for the UBP/OBA they might win 8 seats next election instead of the SIX bit! Actually I take that back you helped them achieve SIX already.
You are a sad person, and clearly part of the problem. No response to what I said? No rebuttal against the quotes from PLP MPs? This is not an OBA/PLP issue, it is a Bermuda issue but it is squarely with the PLP.
Oh it’s not a OBA/PLP issue but all you do on here is bash the PLP. Can’t blame the PLP when we have the weakest opposition in history.
One of the MPs in the OBA asked for a $300k campaign donation from a rich hotelier for the OBA party which is normal in any election. The funny thing is the OBA party didn’t know about the donations and never received the donation LOL until after Thad did a investigation. So who received the MONEY??… but this same MP lost leadership as the Premier, was replaced because of public outcry now the OBA party still has him as a MP.
Are you that desperate to find people to run in this party is the question? The OBA lost 30 – 6 because some of your strongest supporters refused I say again REFUSED to support this type of politics!!!!! Now you may say it wasn’t government funds, but if someone gives you a donation to give to the party and the party never received the $300k what do you call that??
“trolling work in for the UBP/OBA”
Keep repeating the big lie. Never give up on the big lie!
The antisocial and criminal young adults grew up knowing nothing but PLP rule. They are the product of 25 years of the PLP telling them that rebellion is acceptable. You reap what you sow.
