You sound like a typical bigot…you don’t like what I said so you tell me to leave. Pathetic.

Please stop telling people that they should care about X because they care about Y. It is very egotistical! Everyone has a cause that they are about. Sometimes its a social cause, sometimes it’s any environmental cause, sometimes it’s an animal welfare cause. Let people care about what they want to care about! It all helps in the end! It’s the people that don’t care about any cause that are the problem in society!

Clearly, it is irrefutable that certain ethnic groups are disproportionately ticketed. Yes, disproportionately. Traffic stops of any kind and checkpoint stops are human rights violations perpetrated by authorities in a police state. Under the guise of a “you were speeding,” the BPS can search your vehicle using a variety of excuses. During holidays, checkpoints for your safety allow the same thing. What ethnic group disproportionately owns cars in Bermuda?

I have yet to see any white BPS officers writing parking tickets. Why is that? Notice who rides the buses. What ethnic group disproportionately owns cars in Bermuda?

During the absurd covid lockdown, the Regiment was utilized for traffic stops. I was treated like a criminal because I was taking my bicycle down to a nearby gas station to put air in the tires so I could pedal my bike using a trainer stand in my backyard. Three testosterone-charged individuals in camouflage uniforms stood by my car shouting demands. All three were black and I am white. Not one of the other stopped drivers on either side of the checkpoint received such treatment. Care to venture a guess why? Where were all the social justice warriors during the lockdown?

What is the basis for your statement that “Liquor is legal and does a whole lot worse than Cannibis/weed” please?

I’m not sure how it is allowed but get used to kids off their heads on gummies and chocolate.

It was used as a propaganda tool to cling onto power.

Why ask for the alteration of something that does not affect many people?

Yes, there are shooting ranges in the US where a person can legally rent a gun, even an automatic firearm, for a reasonable price. Japanese on trips to Orlando love to rent fully automatic weapons at ranges. A popular stop after visiting Disney.

In Bermuda, criminals rent guns and pay for bullets at unreasonable prices. Not sure what the refund policy is for returning unused bullets.

Interestingly, I have seen several gun cases in baggage claim at our airport. Daniel Defense was the most popular.

Go to Canada or Colorado or Nevada or California or somewhere else that weed is legal. It is the same thing most gun enthusiasts in Bermuda have to do in order to shoot.

How about those who want to legally smoke weed submit to the same background check and bureaucratic process similar to what one has to go through to legally own a firearm and ammunition in Bermuda?

See the BPS website, > Publications & Forms > Firearms Licence Application

How is the prohibition of possession or sale of cannabis any more oppressive than the prohibition against the possession or sale of firearms?
