A young businessman of Kemp Road was murdered just as he went to open his shop in the early hours of morning. His death leaves behind a wife and two small children to care for.
No... he was not a teacher at Queens College; and no... he was not Branville McCartneys' brother. Nor was he was Richard Demerit's son. He was not related to the prominent businessman from Grand Bahamas Arne Petersen either. He was not the brother of Fayne Thompson... No, not at all. Sorry... he was no family to Charles 'Chuck' Virgil.
Who was he? Was he simply a dispensable Bahamian? Is there such a creature called 'a dispensable Bahamian'? We will get a national answer when one of theirs is killed again.
Wherever his family ties are, apparently, he was a dispensable Bahamian.
The outcry as a result of this tragedy can hardly be called deafening. Lord, our senses is getting more numb as the tragedies unfold.
Is this the pride of Majority Rule?... Upward, Onward and Together heh?
