Required 11 years, 8 months ago on The Tribune being denied permit for key staff member

So what you are really saying is that Bahamian newspaper editors, in operation for 229 years, are so bad at succession planning that they still have to import foreigners. Well, our first newspaper editor was an immigrant, I guess it continues...

However, after speaking to many of the Bahamians employed in junior positions at the Tribune, a different picture emerges, and that says that they are not given opportunities to gain additional qualifications.

Man I just cannot help but feel this man is full of it. The court has pulled the trigger. He knows where every single shop is, he knows exactly what they're doing in those shops. What time does he need. Commish jump in your car and grab a few extra handcuffs and go to work. Stop with all the nonsense about when and planning. You have everything you need.

Speaking of negativity, your comment was full of it!

Yes, the Bahamian public does need to stop hiding these thugs. Its not negativity its constructive criticism. Its thought processes like yours that don't contribute to solutions, because no one stops to consider a different path. Everyone wants to continue beating the same path with the same poor result of escalating crime.

The truth of the matter is, many of the police are corrupt and accept bribes from criminals because they aren't paid enough. The police force has become a job source of last resort, because its a low paying field with little respect.

Many of them respond to crimes and can't fill out the police report because they can't read and write! That is real talk and a real experience where my mother had to write the report because the unfortunate officer admitted to his own illiteracy.

There simply aren't enough officers on the force to do the job well or even to respond to emergencies. We keep putting pressure on Commissioner Greenslade without giving him the proper tools and resources to produce results.

If anything, my comment was in support of better working conditions for police officers because my dear they do need it. Your comment about Boston is not applicable, we are talking about crime not terrorism.

PS. I'm not complaining I'm offering a discussion and points for solution. No need to come and see you under the bridge, you have no points to discuss, just low conversation full of expletives.

And my dear I have never ever posted anything in support of Rodney Moncur (not saying I'm against him), I disagree with many of his tactics, and have never ever been in favor in the release of a criminal, not even a member of my own family who spent hard time at Her Majesty's Prison.

Get real! As the song says, "stop digging in ya bungi!"
