Sidney Sweeting, DDS
The headline in the Tribune this morning (December 29, 2009) read "Man stabbed to death in holiday violence" and stated further "Person suspected of killing 'was on bail for murder charge.'
How long should the Bahamian people have to put up with this nonsense and get the Judiciary to give some consideration to the law abiding, God-fearing citizens of the country?
To add insult to the injury a high ranking officer on the police force is telling the public that they should not take steps to protect themselves. Perhaps someone should let the officer know that the public has had enough of the inefficiency of both the police and the Judiciary. Enough is enough.
Sorry Dr.Sweeting, they are in a coma & can’t wake up.It must be that or some sort delusion. One thing is for certain & that is they do not give a damn about it, not one damn.Actions speak louder than words.If they did care, they most certainly would be moving at a much higher pace that they are right now to get it done.Why show such concern over some bogus climate change nonsense & nothing about the huge crime problem ?
The real question is… when will the Bahamian public wake up and realize that it is CORRUPTION, not incompetence or indifference, that has judges and magistrates releasing hardened, repeat criminals back on the street. The case of Stephen ‘Die’ Stubbs should be a real wake up call to all Bahamians.
I do believe it is total corruption, total. That is why I also believe that it is almost, if not, impossible to police ourselves. We need the special forces, that’s what I think we need.Make a sweep on all Illegals, & all known criminals.
“God-fearing”??? Should people claiming to be intimidated by imaginary spirits have a greater say on this than us other regular law-abiders? I don’t get it.
No Lindeman, my God is real but if I offended any atheists I will say that I should have added “and” in the sentence.
No offence was intended

To be clear on my opinions:
i) murderers should NOT get free pass out
ii) at least when there is risk of repetition
iii) which is what probably happened, but
iv.a) do you blame the entire legal system for a thing that PERHAPS goes a bit wobbly? You may be arrested on a similar charge tomorrow; is it wrong that you are innocent until proven guilty?
iv.b) it sounds crazy, but that’s the GOOD thing about Teh System, dude. There is no “convicted” there, only “suspected”. Read your own post, “suspected”.
v) sounds like he’s guilty as hell though, on both counts. But (again) your hand-wringing isn’t helping, especially when you’re invoking celestial unicorns. No, no matter what you say, your god is not real.
or are you just a 15yo babbling on the net? Yeah, I’ve seen that everywhere. E-:
(but nowhere so often as in the Caribean, where it seems people do not realize they are PART of what their country is, rather than sit on their behind and wait for others to make it so.)
Come on now linderman, you know the system is totally out of whack.I know for sure, he is not the only one doing this, there are many,many more & you know that to.For you to not see that, you don’t want to in my opinion.
