Haitian Vigilante Mob Burn Gang Members Alive

Ok folks.

Haitian gang violence has officially hit cartel levels of violence. On a scale from 1-10 this would be about a 20.

According to NY POST, vigilante mobs are now burning rivals alive in the middle of the streets and nobody is there to stop it.

Haitian officials have long acknowledged the country’s economic deterioration. Due to a widespread humanitarian crisis, the Haitian government has admitted its ineffectiveness to prevent the surges in street crime which includes kidnappings, death threats, murders, armed robberies, home break-ins and car-jacking. Citizens are essentially helpless with little to no protection against the brutality.

Authorities reported 2,183 homicides and 1,359 kidnappings in 2022, almost double the number of cases for the previous year.

Check out this article as bystanders look on in horror at the bodies of alleged gang members that were set on fire by a vigilante mob in the Canape Vert area of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

What the hell can be done to stop this?

According to AP News, “increasingly sophisticated weapons are being trafficked into Haiti mainly from the United States and especially from Florida amid worsening lawlessness in the impoverished Caribbean nation”.

Sign the Petition: Ban Pet De-Vocalization Surgeries

Good morning hustlers!

So I got an alert for a new signature request from Change.org and wanted to share.

The online petition for WATSON’S LAW, which has currently 69K signatures, is asking for the ban of de-barking animals — mainly dogs.

According to the petition, housing developers are requiring residents to have animals de-barked via a medical procedure called de-vocalization. The procedure removes a part of the animal’s vocal chord to silence the animal. It is irreversible and illegal in 4 states.

Unbelievable! I’ve never ever heard of such. This seems so infringing, insensitive & inhumane! I’ve lived beside a barking dog or two so I can definitely appreciate the need for having strict pet policies within housing communities, but to require residents (and pets) to have to endure this kind of cruelty should be a crime. I can’t believe these corporations are able to get away with this all for the sole purpose of capital gain. I mean what’s next?!

I’m all about solutions. Build more pet friendly neighborhoods. Make more accommodations for both. I’ve lived in neighborhoods where every neighbor had a dog. I’ve lived in neighborhoods where none of the neighbors really had dogs.

I can definitely see why so many young people are starting to choose the country rural life. Less restrictions, less neighbors. More freedom. The sad part is due to US housing shortages tenants are actually having these surgeries done to their family pets. The effects are irreversible so the pet suffers in silence (literally) forever.

I signed the petition, will you? Pet lovers let’s get in the fight for our furry friends, especially those who have lost their voice.

Christian Cipollini Presents: “Lucky” — A Gangster Comic

Author and crime historian Christian Cipollini is back with a new biographic novel and of course I had to share. He has teamed with Gorilla Convict to present this inventive masterpiece that only a true crime buff can appreciate.

I had the pleasure of receiving an advance copy of the comic storybook “LUCKY” which chronicles the rise and fall of the Italian mafia’s bad boy Lucky Luciano. The press packet also contains a book trailer which brings the project to life.

The graphic novel, which is now on Kickstarter, is illustrated by Yevgeniy Franstev.

If you grew enjoying comic books, this comic will bring back a bit of nostalgia. It has an incredibly vivid and colorful visual layout. The story line is intriguing and engaging from start to finish. Of course anything featuring the mafia is always going to be compelling.

Mix a little comic with a little gangster and bada bing! You’ve got LUCKY.

Check back later for a more in-depth review but in the meantime check out the official book trailer and become a backer.
