View Full Version : Prisoners Hunger Strikin Rory 05-18-06, - 05:06 AM http://www.jonesbahamas.com/?c=45&a=8852 Excalibur 05-18-06, - 05:56 AM http://www.jonesbahamas.com/?c=45&a=8852 Saving the tax payers some money a? Tafadhali 05-18-06, - 08:08 AM ...this isnt good what about their health? YorickBrown 05-18-06, - 08:41 AM Let em starve. C'mon, these are NOT society's role models here. They are convicted criminals! From illegal immigrants to the criminals in our jails, everyone wants to claim and flaunt their "rights", conveniently forgetting about their initial infringement on the rights of native, law-abiding Bahamian citizens! The audacity of some of these people is amazing and what is even more ridiculous is that we have Bahamians actively supporting this nonsense! We are so busy being "politically correct" that we forget that every infraction of our law deserves punishment and with that punishment the infringing party automatically loses access to some of their rights! Again I say, let those convicted murderers/rapists starve. chancellor 05-18-06, - 08:47 AM Its not enough to throw them in cespits, now we must starve them? SO they can come out of prison, because some of them will, and channel an even greater wrath on society that the violent anger that placed them in prision? Tafadhali 05-18-06, - 08:51 AM Its not enough to throw them in cespits, now we must starve them? SO they can come out of prison, because some of them will, and channel an even greater wrath on society that the violent anger that placed them in prision? thank you. YorickBrown 05-18-06, - 10:04 AM Its not enough to throw them in cespits, now we must starve them? SO they can come out of prison, because some of them will, and channel an even greater wrath on society that the violent anger that placed them in prision? Three of the most horrific criminals in this Bahamaland? Please. The downfall of society will come directly from our continued encouragement and promotion of lawlessness through social grace and kindness for hardened criminals. The same type of logic is being applied to our children nowadays, where punishment is passed up and rules are not enforced fully because we "have to allow them to express themselves". Then we wonder why the kids are so messed up and uncontrollable! It sickens me how this politically correct, touchy-feely, wishy-washy way of doing things has led us to be so confused about what we need to support and do in certain situations. We actually undermine the effectiveness of our own rules, regulations and guidelines when we find an "out" for those who dare to break them. The human rights movement has indeed lost its way and now wastes it's time protecting persons who violate the human rights of others. Ain't that absolutely and positively wonderful! YorickBrown 05-18-06, - 10:09 AM thank you. By the way, Parcoi is one of the most vicious convicted rapists of women in Bahamian history! My goodness, it's surprising who some people will defend just to jump on the human rights bandwagon. chancellor 05-18-06, - 10:24 AM It may come through promotion of lawlessnes but in what form? Surely the people who do break the law are arrested, tried, and sentenced to serve their time are they not? If there is any promotion of lawlessness it is through corruption. You are turning it around as to say "we dont mind what they did". I'm not saying allow them a walk through the garden every afternoon, or to allow for an hour of swimming every day, I'm saying they should at least be treated as human even though what they did was in humane. Solitary confinement? sure!.... placing them in a literall closet with 5other people with no civilized waste disposal and on top of that, propose to starve them? no! I'm supprise that you really think I would defend such people in the way that you think. So do we let police officers just kill prisoners and step back and say.....well they were worthless peices of vermin anyway?....That's not any better than the deadliest of criminals. YorickBrown 05-18-06, - 10:39 AM You are turning it around as to say "we dont mind what they did". I'm not saying allow them a walk through the garden every afternoon, or to allow for an hour of swimming every day, I'm saying they should at least be treated as human even though what they did was in humane. Solitary confinement? sure!.... placing them in a literall closet with 5other people with no civilized waste disposal and on top of that, propose to starve them? no! Such a young and innocent mind that has yet to learn about the harsh realities of this world! This "hunger strike" comes not only as a weak attempt to gain some pity for their criminal mentalities, but also comes on the heels of their daring escape from Her Majesty's prison AND their conviction of the murder of Prison Officer Bowles. If they do not wish to eat the food that is put in their cells, then let them starve. No one should hold the government of The Bahamas hostage by making silly claims that they will refuse food. Believe me, I'm holding back from telling you exactly what I think of your opinion on this matter, 'cause I guess that it's easy for you to sit at home and worry about the "rights" of these maximum security level convicts when you do not know the facts behind who they are and what they have done! Don't just respond to this comment right away. Sit back and think for a day or two. Think really hard about what you are standing up for, or more appropriately, falling for. YorickBrown 05-18-06, - 10:45 AM So do we let police officers just kill prisoners and step back and say.....well they were worthless peices of vermin anyway?....That's not any better than the deadliest of criminals. This statement only serves to convolute the issue. Murder is murder and the law is the one who deals with those who break it, whether they be criminals or law enforcers- Pure and simple. The law in this case did indeed find the prison officer GUILTY of murder for shooting a prisoner while he was detained, might I add. So what was your point again? Focus on the hunger strike and what it represents. A hunger strike is a matter of personal choice. A choice that holds the one being protested against hostage to the demands of the protester and in this case is nothing but a strategy that wastes the government's time and money! Tafadhali 05-18-06, - 10:58 AM By the way, Parcoi is one of the most vicious convicted rapists of women in Bahamian history! My goodness, it's surprising who some people will defend just to jump on the human rights bandwagon. :eek: pandering to the lowest comon denominator now, are we yorick brown?...:gi: :uh:me being a human being comes before me being a woman, respect is due to a dog especially if this criminal is all that you say he is and of illegal immigrant stock ;) ...we must take into context the reason why they went on their hunger strike...is it because they are gonna take the fall for Officer Bowles murder? and is it also because of the continued inhumane conditions in that prison? as these men are in the custody of the state's prison system they are afforded basic human rights like cleanlinesss, food and water and most of all decency no matter their crime. Your potcake is treated better than these people, my christ the humanity in you should understand their cry. chancellor 05-18-06, - 10:59 AM Of course I always seem to go against your advise.... I know what they did, I have not forgotten what they attempted to do, and I know what they are doing. Let me define myself more clearly. Of course if they are refusing food that is what they want. I'm just stating for you and anyone else who believes it is our duty to place these criminals in the pit of hell ourselves, that it does not justify anything. It creates no more justice, and it shows that we are no better than the cowards that kill instead of facing their problems. If you think I have pity for them because of what they did then you misunderstand me. I believe no human should be condemned to inhumane conditions regardless. Their punishment (unless its death) is to be removed from society for a period of time or the rest of their lives. I've already thought about this, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. Bring whatever heat you have about my belief......it'll still be standing by sunset today. chancellor 05-18-06, - 11:05 AM This statement only serves to convolute the issue.

Ummmmm.....you never got my point with that statement. The police officer should have never even thought about doing that, regardless of the motive. No law permited him to kill the prisioner, even if the prisoner was responsible for killing his coleague. It's a result of midset they have about treating criminals.
