It is well known that cash can make us disembarrass. But how to act when someone does not have cash? The only one way is to get the home loans and just student loan.
It saddens me as a Bahamian to see that some fellow fellow Bahamians resort to vandalism and crimminal activity when justice is what we should be seeking.I always thought that these type of reactions only happened in other countries.If you destroy government facilities you only hurt yourself.The pen is still mightier than the sword. I do not condone crimminal activity by police or civillians.
