File photo An observer was commenting on the dichotomy between how the FNM and the police in The Bahamas treat tourists and treat Bahamians.  They harass  Bahamians about wearing masks and fine them exorbitant sums of money but tourists are  able to walk around the town Scott free, no mask, no fines. A double standard and then they wonder why the numbers are spiking of covid cases.
