i just remember the kids with napsacks walking past fried and necklaced former Macoutes...or folks so accused

and remembering the old Ton Ton Macoute legend ..uncle napsack....”The phrase “Ton-Ton Macoute” is actually a phrase in Haiti, meaning “bogey man” (literally: “Uncle Bagman”) in the Haitian language. “Ton-Ton Macoute” was the name Papa Doc Duvalier used for his secret Police, who wreaked havoc in Haiti in the 1950’s. The “bogey man” of Haitian folklore refers to a man visiting during Christmas Eve, entering peoples homes at night and taking naughty children into his knapsack”
