When is enough enough? How absolutely awful. When will the word "curfew" surface?

'Bigger' needs some bullet holes of his own.

If they let him walk around with "the bracelet", he will get them.

The Police has to control the crime in this beautiful city of Nassau New Providence. I have been supporting this City for years and highly recommended it. However, I am not so sure anymore with all the crime and killings going on in this Paradise. Bring back King Eric and his Knights or Ronnie Butler and his VIP" to solve the problems.Music is the food of life, play on. The young people have to understand , nothing comes from murder or injuring someone. They will be caught and imprisoned for a long time. I suggest, that before they pull that trigger, spend a weekend at Fox Hill Prison and see what it is like after you commit a crime.
I still play this music. LP's yes quite a few of the local artists.Going down Burma Road was on of my favourites.Shame and Scandal in the family was also a good one by King Eric.

Some asinine, imbecile was on a radio talk show saying how macabre or boring lives persons must have to be tracking the murder rate. But it is only by tracking the murder count can a society know whether is is making progress in its fight with murder or if the situation is getting worse. And as the murder count sits near or above 90, no one can have sympathy for someone who takes lives of individuals who are not even involved with a dispute he may have with someone they may be related to. Such a coward, heartless clown. Worse when an innocent child is also killed. Turn him in and let him face the music. These type of killers need no sympathy or mercy.

Utilize the "Death Penalty" and make if swift with no appeals. Hang them in Rawson Square. Be aa tourist attraction. Let chips fall where they may.

Neighbors said they saw a truck loaded with young men passing the area who told them to 'go inside." Had they called the police, this tragedy may have been avoided.

Doubt it. Sadly he would have just found another opportunity. We really have a serious problem with people unable to control their emotions. It's evidenced in the murder rate, the teenage pregnancy rate and gambling addictions. All cases of persons acting unwisely based on how they "feel". #Emotional intelligence.

Comrades! Is this what PM Minnis means when he boasts how he's the 'new Sheriff in town?'

Where is The Minister of Road Blocks as babies are being murdered?

He is was conveniently accessible and vocal during the arrest of parliamentarians, why is he not as vocal to comment on the success of his crime prevention initiatives.
