    The gov't can issued a curfew order for Baughers Bay alone for too much negative things going on there. Maybe a 14day 2pm to 5am for they killing our innocent harmless residents in that community. Lets hear from the powers that be if they going do anything about it.

    Someone is angry or sending a message. They need to correct what ever is going on because I see this is going to turn violent.

    I hope those 1000s of fish traps are brought back to shore while they have no boats. I heard they had thousands.
