I am just happy this stray way bullet didn’t hit this elderly woman in her head. I hope the wound doesn’t take long to heal. You know when you get to be that age things to heal as quick as it use to. If I was the Minister of National Security, I would of gone to see how this elderly lady was doing or say something publicly about it, but knowing him I highly doubt he could picture himself doing something like that.
Far too many guns on our streets. That good thing what papa doing, giving some people who qualify prescription cards where they could obtain free medicine. Maybe he should consider dishing out some free bullet proof vests and some other gadgets which you could use to protect yourselves, because it is very risky living in this country.
Kim, where have you been? I havent seen you post on here for months!
Hi Altec, I been in search of the light at the end of the tunnel and I believe I am now seeing a little flicker of light right about now with election looming in the air. Things got so hard in the country, I decided to take a backseat approach and see if I could ride this one out, but you soon see them coming out of the woodwork like worms and I plan to be ready for them. I still young and I have a very good memory. I know who was doing what and who was laughing when they ought to have been serious and that’s how I am prepared to deal with them accordingly, now it is only up to the Bahamian people not to get swing this time around and vote base on their conscience.
Lord you said if you can find, just one righteous in the city you will save the whole city. so right now i am asking you to look upon my homeland and my people and help them. some are crying out to you. so for the ones who are crying out. save the city because of them. you said where two or three are gathered in your name, there you are in the midst. i am also standing in your presence for my homeland and people too. thank you father for what you are about to do. in Jesus name I’m asking. amen.
This was not an act of vilence against women, It was a stray bullet the struck a car in which a person was hit who happened to be a woman. Sad. Yes. Is action required to stop all this. Yes. But, call it for what is.
Guns are like cell phones in town.
