I had thought one of the main reasons the voters had decided to fire the Hubert regime was over Tommy T's dismal record on handling crime? Why is PM Christie now announcing that he is now about to repeat exactly what Tommy T did by attempting to use police strength and and millions tax payers dollars to curtail crime? PM it's no secret that the escalated level of violence in our Bahamaland didn't sprung up on us through some strange accident. PM where in the hell is your government's programs to reduce crime and violence by providing healthy environments for our youth? How can we have stable and healthy communities, when you still are allowing illegal shanty towns to sprung up all across Bahamaland? PM what about providing an example for our youths, that the government would not be in bed with the numbers bosses and other folks who are hell bent on benefiting themselves, through a much too close association with your cabinet ministers? When will government workers be told, that your government expects a days work for a days pay? PM until you have a justice system that reflects that justice is actually being carried out, no damn amount of force strength is ever going to curtail crime. PM Christie just you go ask Hubert and Tommy T, if Comrade Tal is talk'in it right?

The politicians, judicial system and police are just like Larry, Curly and Mo. Once every few months is useless. This type of policing is needed DAILY 24/7. Criminals and illegal’s ride around with impunity.
The Bahamas is the only country in the world where an individual charged with a crime involving a firearm is allowed bail. Never mind multiple gun murders.
Go away PLP & FNM!
