Based on current statistics, at least another 40 persons will be killed before December 31, 2017. Most of these victims will be male and most of them will be between the ages of 17 and 25. These are cold, hard facts. The new government has not put any policy change or any new policing strategy or social programs in place that will stop these killings or even slow them down. In a discussion the other day someone said that killing use to be a last resort. Something that was done when the killers felt they had no other options. Today they say killing is one of the first options used for conflict resolution. And the murders today are being committed by young people. Once a person kills and becomes a murderer the desire to kill dwells within him. Meaning it is easier to kill a second or even a third time. Then there is the desire for revenge. So even when a killer is arrested and thrown in jail no one in his family or even no one he interacted with is safe. The desire for vengeance becomes strong and it is jnot just tit for tat but sometimes more than one life is taken for payback. So what are we going to do about murder in this little small country before there is no soul left alive

As someone who has lived in the Bahamas for 15 years, it is becoming more apparent that you people are the nastiest people I have met anywhere in the world. Not all Bahamians, but the majority that we must interact with during our day to day activities.

This is all God's plan. Let us not question why He wants or needs all of these young men dead. Let us give thanks to God for ALL that he does. Perhaps his death will save others from following a similar path. Perhaps God needed him to have wings and to be the best angel in His army. There are too many possibilities to consider. So... if you personally knew the boy and miss him then cry. Otherwise, move on, as there will be many more deaths.
