"Crime Plunges In Haiti Amid ‘Brutal Vigilante Campaign’"
A rise in vigilante justice on the impoverished island of Haiti has reportedly led to a dramatic reduction in the vicious gang violence that has plagued the island for years.
The New York Times reported that the “brutal vigilante campaign” began in late April when a group of people “overpowered” police in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince after they took 14 alleged gang members into custody.
The group of vigilantes took the suspects outside, doused them with gasoline, and burned them to death.
Since the 14 suspects were executed, civilians have reportedly killed at least 160 additional gang members in the area, the report said.
The report said that the vigilante campaign has led to a “sharp drop in kidnappings and killings attributed to gangs.”
People in the areas infested with gangs have reportedly feared leaving their homes for a long time and often face extortion. In a less than 10-day span last summer, nearly 500 people were murdered in the city, leaving many afraid to even go buy food.
“Before the 24th, every day someone passed by and demanded that I give him money because of my little business,” one resident told the newspaper. “When I had no money, they took whatever they wanted from my table, and this happened at any time of the day.”
Burning gang members alive appears to be one of the vigilantes’ preferred methods for dealing with the thugs.
“The reaction of the population, after years of gangs imposing their law, can be attributed to self-defense,” Gédéon Jean, the executive director of CARDH, told The New York Times. “Gangs are supported by certain authorities, politicians and business people. At almost all levels of the police force, gangs have links with police officers. The police do not have the means to systematically and simultaneously confront the growing gangs.”
The gang problem exploded when Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated at his home two years ago. The result has been a power vacuum and a country on the brink of a civil war.

so when you have outside nations teaming up with local gov't mafia poisoning the people with cholera, taking away natural resources, promise to spend funds to hundreds of houses but instead only build two, fuck with their farming, and then compound that with gangs daily roughing you up for your assets you as a haitian citizen just trying to survive are fucked. frankly i'm totally shocked that these burnings didn't start happening decades ago.
maybe it is time for this to start happening. on our front. maybe certain parts in cali would be a good place to start. first test should be frisco. citizens of all countries facing similar patterns that we're facing should also take notes and start sowing seeds of these thoughts inside their minds. this applies to all levels. from low level street scum all the way to the top echelon of shitty world leaders. take someone like trudeau. i gotta think that more than 60% of the canadiens would love to see that guy literally burn to the crisp.
The U.S. helped overthrow the Aristede government because his supporters started doing stuff like this. Contributing to the current violent chaos. We never learn.

Thr list goes on and on of people acting in self defense who are facing charges or were prosecuted because they didnt let.the criminals get away with their crimes.
This is a long-winded way for me to say that I would consider that group a gang as well, and one that seems to be more effective than its competitors. 🤷🏻♀️ That’s not a judgement on the group itself. Just what it is.
At some point, we’ve got to consider this isn’t random.
Humans are more effectively violent in organized groups. Violence can be defensive or offensive. Many street gangs are more defensive than the worser police forces. Or the military industrial complex.
I'd suggest reading Sudhir Venkatesh's "Gang Leader for a Day" to see the dynamic. At one point, a pastor and a cop broker a truce between two crack-dealing gangs. The cops know they don't have the manpower to keep law and order in the projects, so the cops effectively deputize the gangs to keep shit from getting out of control. Such is life in a world of finite resources.
Of course the new idiot mayor of Chicago thinks kids committing armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon is kids acting silly, and that a few more summer programs are going to stop carjackings. Bless his heart.

This woman, except for not being dead, is just like the subway psycho. She needed yo be put in a chokehold or otherwise subdued to protect all the people she attacked. I can guarantee you that if even just one person had resisted or tried to stop her, especially a White person, that individual would be in jail facing charges and she would be back out on the street just like she is.
New York City's chickens are coming home to roost.
