My old stomping grounds from 87-92. I ran rice, cement etc into Haitian ports after Baby Doc fell till it got too hairy even for me back when I though I was immortal. Roving bands of “technicals” this sort of thing was coming back then too as well as nightly gun battles in Port au Prince and Cap Haitian. We’d try to judge gunfire sounds to avoid those blocks working our way up the mountain to Petionville. Double your money every trip. I also chartered out my ships to Haitian importers who paid well. Freeport Texas rice to Miragoane Haiti. Worst mistake we made was not allowing Cedras to take power and backing that murderous psycho liberation theology priest Aristedes to take over. Roasted necklaced bacon people on the sidewalks in the flats of Port au Prince baking in the 95 degree 90% humidity was an everyday thing even then. Hopeless sit rep nation baring a strong benevolent dictator and mass emigration

So it sounds like a great place for us to send all of the “refugees” who cross our border daily, and let them wait for their court date there. I was always thinking Gitmo, but I’m flexible on that.

The result: a sharp drop in kidnappings and killings attributed to gangs in neighborhoods where people told The New York Times they had been afraid to leave their homes.
Take notes folks.

I am surprised those 14 gang members didn’t just cross the USA border and take stakes in New York City, where nothing would happen to them under a Soros DA.
Just like the villain’s on the commuter subway trains. They terrorize the public and enjoy the fruits of their crimes.

Normally I wear protection; but then I thought, “when am I ever going to be in Haiti again”?

The “bwa kale” movement has led to a significant reduction in gang violence, according to the report. In May, 43 murders were recorded, most in Port-au-Prince, compared with 146 in April, Mr. Jean said, adding that there have been almost no kidnappings.
Interesting name for a movement. Read the article to find out what it means.

Vigilantism in Haiti is nothing new. It was used during the Haitian Revolution against the French in the late 1700s and was common in 1986, when the former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier was ousted from the country and mobs attacked and slaughtered his collaborators.
The practice was known in Creole as dechoukaj, the uprooting of the old order.
It has happened so often, there is a name for it.

Hopefully the remaining gang members won’t decide it’s safer to go to the US as illegal “asylum” seekers.
To: wardaddy
I absolutely believe the enslaved Haitians made a pact with the devil to free them from France over 200 years ago, and they’ve been paying for it ever since.

We also kept Papa Doc in power to keep the Commies out.
Before Papa Doc, Haiti had a thriving middle class, especially with the lighter-skinned folks there running businesses. It wasn’t a rich country, but it was at the very least par for the course in the Caribbean.

Vigilante justice is the direct consequence of a corrupt government not protecting its citizens.

If a declaration was sent out that all southern border invaders will be rounded up and sent to Haiti, there wouldn’t be any invaders crossing the border

Of course, after the White French slaveowners were slaughtered and the mulattos took over, the dark-skinned Blacks slaughtered them, too, thinking them no better than the full-blooded Whites. To think some wanted to make Haiti a state in the 19th century, admitted with the Dominican Republic.

This going to be necessary for any for any law-abiding citizens left in blue cities in this country to survive.
We need some Paul Kerseys and Dexter Morgans to clean up the messes.
