"I have seen so many children, so many children. I cannot sleep at night and, if I do, it is a constant nightmare," said Foultone Fequiert,
That poor guy. The memories will be with him for the rest of his life.
Not very well, evidently.
I would think they would want to burn the bodies. Burying them will just spread more disease and take up land that could be occupied by others?
Maybe Chattanooga would like to take 100,000 Haitians. How about 200,000 - we have plenty of them in FL bankrupting the state. I think the good people of TN need a LOT more Haitians. How about 1 million?
I can’t even imagine the grief and horror. I try to pray constantly - it’s hard to pick what to focus on. It’s all so overwhelming. I’m so grateful we have such a big, powerful God
***Workers say they have no time to give the dead proper religious burials or follow pleas from the international community that bodies be buried in shallow graves from which loved ones might eventually retrieve them. *****
I read a couple of days ago that this has led to an intense fear among the Haitians of zombies.
***Meanwhile, a flotilla of rescue vessels led by the U.S. hospital ship Comfort steamed into Port-au-Prince harbor ***
I received a letter from a man who was on the Comfort when it took care of Haitian patients in 1994. He refuses to give anything to Haititan relief as a result. Here is part of what he said, I cannot verify it but am printing it for your consideration...
His letter, written a few days ago, about his expierience in 1994.
“One hospital ship will not be of much use in this disaster. Haitians are animals. 1/3 of them have aids 1/3 of them have TB a high percentage of them have both not to mention syphilis and other types of VD.”
“We had over 800 of them on the COMFORT in 1994, absolutely ignorant savages. We 30 or 40 porta-johns on the flight deck but they would not use them. They would just take a dump wherever the were standing, pissed where ever they happened to be, had casual sex right out in the open (not as sexy as it may sound). Some it prostitution but a lot of it was recreational. Filthy Filthy people with zero personal hygiene.”
“We had a little publicized riot on Comfort. We had to beat them back with fire hoses and Billy clubs. Within hours we had 100 marines flown over to us to keep order.”
“We took our 800 refugees to Gitmo and it was several years before we got rid of the stench of these people who threw defication against the wall and at our crew who was feeding them, giving them medical care etc.”
