Bahamians serious nah...everyone talking about the referundum (gambling) and NIB scandals but Bahamians getting shoot down and murdered like dogs and the street and everyone gone quiet. Isiah 1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgement: righetousness lodged in it: but now MURDERERS Thy silver is become dross (worthless). thy wine mixed with water (weak and impure). Isiah 1:23 THe princes (government) are rebellious, and companions of theives: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards (politicians are padding their pockets and taking bribes) They judge not for the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them (cries for justice for people who cannot defend themselves fall on deaf ears).

I wonder how much the "undetermined sum of cash" actually amounted to. Surely not the cost of a human life?
I don't advocate armed robbery, and I een no Columbo, but why the robbers ga fire at the shop worker when they leaving if they already have what they want?
And how he have enough time to dodge bullets and then fire back? He from the Bourne Identity ay? Sounds like some BS to me.
