Gun charges dropped 'for national security'
Guy, completely agree. Unacceptable. What does this say to Bahamians and the rest of the world? That the justice system and the Bahamian govt is a joke. Heads would roll if this happened in Canada, UK, USA, etc. Actually, I don't think that an AG in Canada, UK, USA, etc. would even have the nerve to try something like this, knowing they would never get away with it. The Bahamas is becoming a real banana republic.

Private citizens (who happened to be, at the time, clients of the current AG) had guns found in their homes by the police. The matter goes to trial. Their former attorney happens to be out of the country on the 28th of November (on govt. business...hmmm.) then the acting AG enters a Nolle and have them discharged because it is a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY??? Someone, somewhere really take the Bahamian people for fools! We must demand a better explanation than this! I guess we call it a national security issue so that the defense for nontransparency is it is in the national interest to remain mute on the matter. Boy I tell ya...PLP in power.

Why the "acting" AG -- what happened to the Minister of State in the AG's office?
What National Security?. This sounds very much like the reasons given by Cheney and his ilk for the abuse of civil liberties after the terrorist attacks US.

What about the "rumour" that the driver was a young male, whom was operating a relative vehicle, fatally struck the two individuals, and left the scene of an accident? That sure has grounds for someone to be charged, if not, then with other incidents, why ask the public for assistance in solving crime? Come like with nobody cares, look at all the evidence there is with the mob that attack the lawyer on the beach, yet no charges were filed.

What about "hit and run?" and fleeing the scene of an accident. When life is lost, this is a felony in civilized societies, punishable by jail sentence, civil fines and community work. You telling me that in the Bahamas I can run two people down, kill them dead, and drive home to sleep it off till the morning and then turn myself in, and have no charges put against me? Mudda Sick. This boy must be real "special."

It appears to me that Insp Williams are putting the cart before the horse the investigation is still on-going and he has made a determination that no charges will be file.

I find this entire thing sickening! Could not believe when I heard Kirk Smith report this on COOL 96's 8am newscast this morning. How can someone mow down two people and just walk away?! Who is the driver? Does he have a driver's licence/insurance? Leaving the scene of a accident should be the first charge of many. I would like Inspector Harry Williams to tell the Gandzas' son that "we do not expect any charges to be pressed". The Bahamas must look like the most backwards country on the planet to this young man and the people of Canada. This cannot be over just like this (and they wonder why we have no faith in the police/judicial system).

An end to discrimination - except over sexuality
After reading this article, I came to this conclusion: Allyson Maynard clearly does not live in the Bahamas. Anyone who actually inhabits the country recognizes the rampant homophobia that exists. When I attended high school five years ago, the boys in my class used to talk in effeminate voices to tease each other. One of our teachers, who would laugh along with them, finally got fed up one day as the boys were creating a distraction. Instead of telling them off for being hateful towards fellow human beings, she told them off for "being gay"... If in a Christian school hate is being wide-spread, imagine how much more in the streets where anyone who is considered anything less than the toughest thug is in danger of being attacked for being a "fag." People who are attacked for such a reason rarely do report it since they know the police would probably just laugh at them to their face, and do nothing about it. So... I suppose Allyson Maynard must think rapes are a figment of the imagination as well since a lot of them go unreported...

Sickening! The rampant discrimination in this country is shameful. Gay, foreigners, non-Christians. Where does it end? Can we single out any other group? Christie needs to put a lid on some of his talking heads. The verbal diarrhea from people in high places needs to stop. They are further fracturing a country already in trouble.
This country is going nowhere if they continue.

Idiot, is right. She has made her own prejudices clear in this regard. To omit ANY group of people when you are talking about discrimination is so appalling, I just can't find the words to express it. She sees no discrimination here. How about the rampant homophobia that causes the suicide rate among adolescents to be highest among those with a homosexual orientation? I don't suppose she cares about statistics like that.

What an IDIOT. Let's wait for loads of complaints come in. Let's encourage people to discriminate based on sexual orientation by INTENTIONALLY leaving it out. How does that make sense?! The leaders of this country REFUSE to be precautionary rather than reactionary. This is why we never get anywhere. This is why there is so much hate in this place. This is why people are suffering. I hope people don't forget to discriminate against her for being utterly STUPID. There's no law against that, right?

And we wonder why there is a sub-culture of lawlessness in this country. If the AG's office can be so blatant in its disregard for the Rule of Law, then why should John Doe feel any different.
