.........Bahamas Fighting..............

In the Bahamas, people don’t fight with fists, they burst you with rocks, bottles and anything else hard or sharp. This is just for the spontaneous fights, not the ‘you robbed me yesterday and I came back today with 10 other guys to fuck you up cause everyone knows everyone else on the island’. All of the guys I work with have scars all over their arms and bodies from knife wounds and fights. The other day Rasheed came to work with half of his ear cut off from the fight he got in last night. He had to get 100 stitches to put it back on and could not go in the water for 2 weeks. He said the fight was over 5 bucks the kid owed him and the kid got him with a ‘cutlass’. Another day, Rasheed was mad at the cooks at the grill, so he grabs up a knife we use to clean conch, and starts running to the grill to jook them cause they didn’t give him a burger while the guest were still on the island. I have a dive knife for scuba and all of them were so enthralled with it cause it has straps. I had an extra one that I got off ebay for 10 bucks so I sold it to one of the guys for 30. He wanted it to deal it on the streets with its selling point being that you can get past the security guards at the clubs easier with it. I’m proud to say that one day my knife will be used in a jooking or murder.
