Unruly behaviour in Barbados

This is one of the worst things I have ever read, and perhaps the most shameful thing that I have heard about pertaining to Barbadians. For people to storm a store, breaking things just to get a chance at a huge discount, is nothing short of disgusting. Criminal charges should be laid on as many people as possible known to have caused that.

I read Limey in Bermuda a fair bit, but this issue up for debate here is maybe the most controversial in that what started as a question on if a chef was deported without due process, has resulted in clear battle lines being drawn and it's unfortunate that it becomes a political party thing and worse a race thing when it really shouldn't be. There's a lot of bad blood and harsh comments in this particular thread. Problem is there are some who have exhibited some kind of petty superiority complex issues and I do fear that the only Bermuda blog that discusses events near and dear to everyone, is now pigeon-holed into a biased discussion arena where only one line of thinking is "right".

What makes you say that?

It would seem that people visit the site, they disagree with what people say and the next thing out of their mouths is "this is a anti-Bermudian board", "this is an anti-PLP board", or "this is an anti-black people board", comments that are truly hurtful.

There was a comment by a guy who used to post there a lot, who usually had differing opinions than a majority of the contributors, which said that he's no longer posting and encouraging others to not post there either.

I mean, contributions should be encouraged by people who post there, not the opposite. I hope that's not the case because it's something where the common man can actually make their voice heard. I'm not going to let the negative comments stop me from visiting on a daily basis.
