Haiti Gangs Kill >180 Mostly Elderly in Capital
JFC! WSJ:
More than 180 people were killed in Haiti’s capital as a powerful warlord ordered the slaying of elderly slum residents he suspected of giving his son a severe illness through witchcraft, the United Nations and Haitian human-rights groups said Monday.
Gang boss Monel Felix directed his followers to kill residents with guns, knives and machetes after he was advised by a voodoo priest that elderly people practicing sorcery had caused his son to be stricken with a fatal sickness, the National Human Rights Defense Network, a Haitian rights group, said in a report. The ill child died Saturday as Felix’s gang carried out the killings, the group said.
Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the U.N. secretary-general, said 127 of the 184 people killed in the latest attacks were elderly men and women. About 5,000 people have been killed by gang violence in Haiti in 2024, according to the U.N.

So maybe you don’t, after all, want 10,000 of these people moving into your town.

Poverty leads to violence.
Haiti was hamstrung from the beginning as it had to give billions to French slaveowners as compensation for losing their slaves and billions more to French banks that charged high interest for the loans taken out to repay the French slaveowners.
