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”.

Masked Gunmen Storm Mexican Water Resort Killing 7, Including a Child

The Mexican cartel is being blamed for storming a water park, in Cortazar, Guanajuato state, Mexico.

A video posted on social media shows several people in swimsuits running about crying, screaming and hugging their children.

The video taken soon after the attack showed shocked adults and children walking past piles of dead bodies near a swimming pool.

It was not clear exactly who was behind the shooting that killed the seven-year-old, three men and three women, Cortazar’s local security department said. One person was seriously injured in the La Palma resort.

“Heavily armed sicarios arrived and this is what happened,” said an unidentified man, using a word for hired assassins as he filmed at the resort in the video shared on the internet.

Mexican soldiers and police aided by a helicopter were searching for the attackers.

According to Reuters, Guanajuato, an agricultural and industrial hub, has been Mexico’s most violent state for years. The Jalisco New Generation drug cartel has been fighting with local criminal groups, including the Santa Rosa de Lima cartel, which is apparently backed by the Sinaloa cartel.

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.
