Haitian gang slaughters at least 70 people as thousands flee
NBC News | Comcast ^ | October 5, 2024 | By Reuters

Gang members brandishing automatic rifles stormed through a town in Haiti’s main breadbasket region, killing at least 70 and forcing over 6,000 to flee, causing widespread shock even in a country grown accustomed to outbreaks of violence.

More people were severely injured in the attack in the early hours of Thursday at Pont-Sonde, in the agricultural region of Artibonite in western Haiti. Gran Grif gang leader Luckson Elan took responsibility for the massacre, saying it was in retaliation for civilians remaining passive while police and vigilante groups killed his soldiers.

The gang members set fire to dozens of homes and vehicles, local authorities said, in one of the deadliest attacks in recent years in the Caribbean nation that has seen many massacres and little justice for their victims.

“This odious crime against defenseless women, men and children is not only an attack against victims but against the entire Haitian nation,” Prime Minister Garry Conille said.

Many victims were shot in the head as gang members went house to house, Horace said. “They were left to shoot anybody, everybody was running everywhere. They were walking, shooting people, killing people, burning people, burning homes, burning cars.”

My friend from the Dominican Republic, doesn’t have a lot of respect for Haitians.

Let's improve life in Haiti by shipping the violent criminals to unsuspecting small towns in the middle of America.

“THOUSANDS” of yellow-bellied, pet eaters can’t hold off a few gang members so they FLEA to Whiteyland? We don’t need those yellow-bellied bass turds here either.

Ahhh, NOW it makes sense why we should import so many of them into our country; they’re fleeing from gangs! Thank you, NBC, for such a timely article.

He has her wear one of these:

Yep, let’s import Haitians, Somalis, Palestinians and every other group of uncivilized savages to culturally enrich our society.
