At least 47 people were killed and more than 50 others kidnapped when armed men attacked a once-peaceful community near Haiti’s capital earlier this week, the United Nations said Tuesday.
It is believed to be one of the largest mass kidnappings in Haiti in recent years, and one gang leader is threatening to kill the hostages if authorities kill any gang members as they try to secure the community nestled in the hills above Port-au-Prince.
Sunday’s attack on Kenscoff pierced the belief that security in the troubled Caribbean country was improving.

This is what you get when primitive, uneducated people chose Socialism and it doesn’t turn out to be the utopia they though it was going to be. The next thing you know, the morons are looking for asylum in America from their fascist, Socialist/communist massas.

We need to occupy Haiti again, so they don’t come here.

Kenscoff is about 15 miles on the mountain above Port-au-Prince. We would typically go there every Friday afternoon for lunch at the Haiti Baptist Mission. HBM for generations was responsible for providing the area with real vocational and craftsman skills. It was still Haiti but a beautiful, quiet, rural mountain area.
Haitians are the only ones who can provide stability to their own nation as has been demonstrated since the 1800’s. Billions have been poured into Haiti for decades with this current result. Don’t even get me started with what we saw from USAID in the 80’s.
