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”.

As the humanitarian crisis rages on in foreign countries like Haiti, gangs have overtaken the streets inflicting pure hell in cities such as the country’s capital Port-au-Prince.

Check this segment done by BBC News which goes behind the scenes to document the affect the gang violence is having on civilian life and how the Haitian government seems to be looking the other way.

Crime is rampant with murder, rape & extortion being some of the main daily operations. Corrupt politicians & police make it nearly impossible to contain and the Haitian people are at the mercy of it all.

In 2021, Haiti’s president was assassinated in a targeted & brutal home invasion. To date, no one has been held responsible for his murder.
