Mr. Lincoln Bain, Your childish apologies have become meaningless, weak, and lack substance
Mr Lincoln Bain, refrain from violence. Focus on substance over spectacle, and let your vision for The Bahamas speak for itself
Freeport, G.B. Island, The Bahamas
In response to Tribune242 FaceBook Post, Pintard Condems Lincoln Bain...
I'm not taking sides, but bullying, intimidation, and fear have no place in a democracy. That was not the time and place. It only takes away from the message of the protest. These silly antics are a turn-off on all levels. Mr. Pintard has nothing to prove. He's already a Member of Parliament and the Official Opposition Leader by law as outlined in our constitution.
Mr. Bain, you, on the other hand, have a lot to prove to the Bahamian people, especially if you're serious and ready for mainstream politics. To get into parliament, one would think that maturity, political sportsmanship, and a willingness to engage in respectful dialogue would be essential. If you two have a personal beef, maybe it would be wise to settle it out of the political spectrum.
You don't want to be known more for your radicalism than your message. Having the loudest mouth is unnecessary and a turn-off. Your apologies will become meaningless, weak, and lack substance. Antics and polarization won't get you elected. Empathy and humility will.
Refrain from violence. Focus on substance over spectacle, and let your vision for the country speak for itself. If the populace is to take you seriously, you must demonstrate leadership worthy of representing the Bahamas both domestically and internationally. Your actions will be scrutinized globally, so it's crucial to maintain a level of maturity and statesmanship. Anything less, undermines your message and credibility.
