But the most damaging response by the criminals was to find journalists, and tell the reporters what they wanted to hear. Since the gangsters operate out of the densely populated slums of the capital, peacekeeper visits are accompanied by a great deal of gunfire, and dead civilians.

The gangs thoughtfully produced some dead women and children for the reporters to examine. One question reporters were reluctant to get answers for was, who actually killed the civilians?

Interesting how folks like Maxine Waters and Randall Robinson have been somewhat quiet regarding the claims that UN peacekeeping forces have been firing on civilians in Haiti. These two individuals and others had no problem wagging their ashy fingers at the US for “allegedly” kidnapping former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide as well as being behind the demise of that small country. And before someone mentions that she is just a US congresswoman, let me remind you that she had no problem making a very public appeal to the UN for them to act as observers in our last Presidential election.
This is definitely a story worth following.
