Haiti’s government declared a state of emergency on Sunday after thousands of inmates apparently escaped from its largest prison during a surge of gang violence that has upended the Caribbean nation for months.

The government cited the “deterioration of security,” notably in the capital Port-au-Prince, and “increasingly violent criminal acts perpetrated by armed gangs,” including kidnappings and killings of citizens, violence against women and children and looting, according to a statement from Finance Minister Patrick Boivert, who is serving as acting prime minister.

When has Haiti not been in a "state of emergency"? Probably the best days for Haiti was when US Marines ran the place. Will Conan O'Brien make a return visit to Haiti?

No wonder CNN is in financial trouble when it takes four “journalists” to write an article.

Haitians make up a special class of ‘migrants’. Anyone who has been around them knows what I mean.

The best days for Haiti were before 1791 when they began killing all the White people.

Haiti doesn’t need to worry. As soon as the escapees can form a caravan and get to our southern border, things will settle down. In New York, they’ll get housing and debit cards, and there’s no law to restrain them at all. Nirvana for violent criminals.

I wonder if any reporter will ask our Haitian White House spokesman about what will we do if these people enter US territory?

How long before there are calls for the USA to occupy Haiti, a true failed state? Only proves that No Government is worse than a bad government.

Haiti has no important resources for us, and we don’t want to be seen killing blacks, so there will never be an invasion or occupation.

Not to worry Haiti, the escaped criminals will be coming across the US/Mexican border in a couple of days and Haiti will not have to deal with them any more.
