Sounds like a lovely place. How much has George Soros given? has he bought the whole country yet?

And Haiti has had such a wonderful history of peaceful coexistence, harmonious culture, and society based on mutual respect.

such a shame

crowds resorted to lynching,

Seen a lynching myself in Haiti in 1989 in Petit Goave...grandmas and kids and everybody else first stoned nearly to death some road bandits and then butchered them like hogs with machetes and finally the local hoogan (voodoo man) came and dumped chicken scratch on what was left of them to damn them basically to hell....I will never forget their screams and the smell of guts slashed open...worse than deer

being the one white guy (with my mulatto Jamaican partner) in a veritable sea of angry pure black folks with machetes....I was cautious but not afraid like I might have been in Camden NJ

it can be a tough room down there....

God help the decent folks down there...it's a cataclysm...we cannot fix Haiti ..no one can...but we can stop folks from dying now

Have no fear! Bill Clinton’s on the way into Haiti. That’s just what they need. More congestion at the airport. Maybe he’ll bring some SPIN with him. By flying into Haiti so early in the crisis, Bill and Hillary are hurting more than they’re helping. If they really cared about Haiti more than they do themselves, they’d know to stay away and let the real relief workers do their jobs with as few distractions as possible.

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” William Shakespeare

Quark from Deep Space Nine: Let me tell you something about humans, nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people become as nasty and as violent as the most blood thirsty Klingon.

There is a difference between scavenging for survival needs and looting. Unfortunately, the difference is not likely to be recognized by a mob.
