We are not a pacifist nation, everyone has he right to defend him/herself. Whoever threw the fight should be punished.
Whatever beef these two people have with each other started years ago & if they are not adult enough to resolve it, reaching into their pockets may make the aggressor think twice. If suspending them does not work, I agree with Earl, give them boxing gloves & have them duke it out. And to give it the Gough edge, have the teenager or his Dad on the sidelines ready to join in.
They should be charged just like anyone else, because doctors are not above the law and they should not be excused for displaying such childish behaviour in public.
They are respected and treasured by the belizean people, and in return the doctors should act a certain way.
if it was up to me i would have sent them both to jail for a few days to cool the hell down.
why should the people have any respect, or confidence in their work, I don’t.
i don;t think so. the only reason this is being made into a big issue is because they are known to the public but tell me, how many other brawls occur everyday between two rich people. alot more than many assume to think. therefore, it’s stupied that this event is being mad into such a big deal.
In short NO absolutely not by the BMDA, they do not have any powers above our court system and Police department which are the two entities that should investigate properly and bring fourth any criminal charges.
Having the BMDA punish both doctors for that brawl would destroy the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and the last time I checked this is not Cuba.
I dont think the BMDA, has any business in this, If the report on the news is true that Goff got the worst of it, then he has been punished enough for taking advantage of that teenager whom it is alleged he had beaten up. One thing i must say that this feud was settled with fists instead of a gun.
