EDITOR, The Tribune.

I see that lots of Bahamian politicians are putting their full support behind the resumption of capital punishment in The Bahamas; but capital punishment is Bahamian law already - and has been so for centuries, and the Privy Council rules according to the law! Silly season must be approaching.

The political executive in the land must not be allowed to become the final judges of the law in our beloved Bahamas! The elite advocates of capital punishment in The Bahamas from my standpoint will never allow one of their dear ones to be hung by the state!

They want to make it easier – in my humble view, to hang the wretched and poor among us – according to their plan to amend the law to make it happen.

How wicked of them! But not to worry, we will not vote for them next election. So, let us see who the rest of you are and your affirmative position on capital punishment for the poor Bahamian brother and sister, and we shall see you next election.
