Like I just said, I don't think the way things have been going is the way they should be.

Your comment struck me as completely off base, but I thought maybe I'm wrong and did some googling and reading. I learned a few things (check out this Wikipedia), but definitely confirmed that the Haitian gangs are not "security against actual evil". Kidnap for ransom, looting and massacres are not "resistance to occupation".

Given half the references are from the same people that said a gang leader was called barbeque because he was a cannibal instead of the actual reason, I'm going to suggest there might be a bit of a propaganda problem going on there.
