Comrades! A citizens call must go out for the red shirts government to begin a Dialogue with the criminal thugs. It might just work as the the only way out from the policeman's using even more armed and deadly force. It hasn't worked by jailing the thugs, or in an increasingly number cases of policeman's shooting and killing the thugs. Maybe it's time to bribe them into changing their ways?

Well Mr. Russell, your suggestion sounds good for the red shirts as long as the yellow shirts point them out so they know who the thugs are !!!

Based on statistical data another 41 Bahamians (mostly males) will meet their death (due to murder) before December 31, 2017. Sad reality but the truth doesn't have a mask! Can this be changed ? Can it? When my people who Are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray... amen

Murder is a spirit and not necessarily an individual. And just like drugs or alcohol or even anger, if you court the spirit of murder it will consume you. The Bible instructs us to resist the devil and he will flee from you.

When you go on FACEBOOK and a post pops up "would you kill your brother for 200 million?" Or post a picture of a little girl and asks "would you slap this little girl for $100 million?" What do you think they are doing? They are planting seeds in your subconscious mind. You are not aware that it's there but the desire to slap someone or even kill someone is always there in your head. They did this with movies in the 1960s. They would put frames of popcorn or soda or even cigarettes and beer in the movie film. Your eyes couldn't pick these images up on the screen but your subconscious did. Then you would see many persons get up and go buy popcorn and soda or light up cigarettes ( yes smoking was legal in movies back then there was a smoking and a non smoking section in a building with no windows and one air conditioning system and yes we fell for it.' The practice of imbedded messages in movie was outl'. The government realized how powerful it was. Especially when 5 and 6 year olds developed cravings for cigarettes not unlike drug addicts.

How can a government/Minister of National Security/COP stop murder via domestic violence???? ........ How many of the 90 murders this year are domestic violence murders????? ........ This is a product of relationship and familial dysfunction ....... Many families do not alert the police or the Church to family dysfunction until it is too late ....... This is a case in point ....... This case has a long history of domestic violence ............ This was a 30+ year marriage gone bad ............... Who do you blame???????

6Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

8Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”d While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

9Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

13Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

15But the Lord said to him, “Not soe ; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod,f east of Eden. there is nothing new under the sun..thou shalt not kill!
