    To rob a tourist is also an insult to all Bermudians and our country, not just our visitors.

    It takes the lowest level of depraved pathetic mind to rob an elderly woman.

    But this guy thinks its okay to rob an elderly female tourist.

    People like this should be deported to another country and banned from our island, they don’t deserve to call Bermuda their home. Vote for this at election.

    If we saw an end to crime by increasing the time inside where the grass do not grow. We would have a bill as long as you arm there would be alot of people out of a job.

    the st George ducking stool stocks an pillar are cruel an unusual punish ment and not exactly tourist attraction used to promote egg an tomato throwing . Got to go cause no tourists for months .
    OLD AIRPORT
    We all got douped ! why did they not put a metal roof on the old airport same as on the White House?
    in 15 year the new airport wil become redundant . peopl did have a chip on their shoulder.

    There is a stack of i ,000 + /- wild birds down St Davids airport run way there competing with the planes for space

    On a serious note
    Could the old airport with in less than a minutes be converted into a hospital for hundreds .

    is there about down there a big problem
    Birds and Plannes do not get along & hurricanes an birds do no get along.
