I don't want to take away from the current issue, but remember a few months ago when one of our owners (not a resident) was "hit by a projectile"? Many doctors have said it was a gunshot, however, he still to this day hasn't been able to get a police report from the SPPD. No evidence was ever found, no one questioned, and there was pretty solid evidence turned into them. They all wanted to "keep it quiet" since it was high season. This person is still reeling from his injury and lack of proper care. His life will NEVER be the same. I bet he isn't singing the praises of the cops.
That's how things like this happen.... it's just like my going to the cookie jar. I know I can't continue to eat cookies, or I'll gain weight.... but one cookie won't hurt, ok, two, three... Then, all of a sudden, I've gained 7 lbs.... How DID that happen? It happened gradually. Criminals have barely had their hands slapped, and newspapers have been threatened, so everyone on the outside thinks that SP is one big happy family. The crime there is horrendous!!!!!
I know that will make some residents very mad, but just know that YOU or your CHILDREN might be next....
Crime is crime. Laws in Belize are liquid (as my attorney said). It depends on who is paid, how much, and how high they are in government. You can get away with anything, theft, perjury, attempted murder, and now.... maybe murder.

Hey, Capt Jeff, are we related? Can you help rid of the SP streets of the strunz??? Che peccato.

Vicki my love you hit the nail on the head.. we need a sit down on this and quick..somone needs a fast beating .this is a shame..we all need to do the right thing on this......

Collyk!
Youre last two posts are even more pathetic than your previous posts.
catch em', try em', HANG em' and bag all the liberal jibberish.

time for a thread lock........

I concur with most of these posts.

Yesterday and today are the only 2 days in 12 years that I was happy to here at home, INSTEAD of walking the San Pedro beach to Fido's for a cold Belikin. SAD for sure for all.

Amanda,

I agree with you, we pay taxes.

The government doesn't actually send any of that money back to our island for meaningful infrastructure development. What they do is use it to guarantee bad loans to their pals and to build beautiful roads in Belize City for cruise ship passengers.

If we pay MORE taxes will that situation change?

20% of what we pay in taxes should come back to the island, is that too much to ask?

What he said.

Jesse, Chris, the honorable (honourable?) Mr. Thorton, and the rest who know who you are, as usual I completley agree with your respective takes on this. The balance of this thread is mentally stimulating, but mostly out of the real path here. "Behavourial". Excuse me.

Me Too.

Jessee said "Or how about a "behavioural proctologist"?" And SIN laughed.

I laughed too . . .thinking how many of the incarcerated end up finding out about that sort of thing (no pun intended).

So yeah, catch 'em, try 'em, hang 'em out to dry, er, put 'em inside with some other incarcerated "bp's".

Having said that, incarceration doesn't always seem to be a big enough deterent from future offenses.
