Oh, man.
The “Voodoo Massacre.”
That’s what I call Chicago.
About 200 people were killed in violence in Haiti’s capital over the weekend, many in a massacre in which a gang boss reportedly targeted Vodou practitioners.The killings of at least 110 people were overseen by a “powerful gang leader” convinced that his son’s illness was caused by followers of the religion, according to the civil organisation the Committee for Peace and Development (CPD).
“He decided to cruelly punish all elderly people and Vodou practitioners who, in his imagination, would be capable of sending a bad spell on his son,” a statement from the Haiti-based group said. “The gang’s soldiers were responsible for identifying victims in their homes to take them to the chief’s stronghold to be executed.”
Don’t the voodoo people also believe they are capable of sending such a spell?
Is there any evidence that they can’t do this?
The UN rights commissioner, Volker Türk, said at least 184 people had died over the weekend. “These latest killings bring the death toll just this year in Haiti to a staggering 5,000 people,” he told reporters in Geneva.
Felix Monel, the crusading gang leader
Both the CPD and UN said that the massacre took place in the capital’s western coastal neighbourhood of Cité Soleil.Haiti has suffered from decades of instability but the situation escalated in February when armed groups launched coordinated attacks in the capital, Port-au-Prince, to overthrow the then prime minister, Ariel Henry.
Gangs control 80% of the city and despite a Kenyan-led police support mission, backed by the US and UN, violence has continued to soar.
They sent Kenya because – and I guess this is obvious – they didn’t want the optics of whites/Asians doing peacekeeping in a black country.
I said from the beginning that sending Kenya was retarded and they should have sent Kodak Black with a posse from East Atlanta to fix the situation.
Kodak would have monkeyed that shit up and down, you wouldn’t need to do a voodoo massacre because everyone would already be dead or addicted to crack (and thus unable to focus on massacres).
The CPD said that most of the victims of violence waged on Friday and Saturday were over 60, but that some young people who tried to rescue others were also among the casualties.“Reliable sources within the community report that more than a hundred people were massacred, their bodies mutilated and burned in the street,” a statement said.
It really does not matter.
We heard for years that “black lives matter” (we don’t hear it very much now, strangely), but the reality is that they really do not matter.
You can say they matter in a cosmic sense, in which “all lives matter,” but in a practical sense, black people kill each other wholesale and no one really cares, least of all other black people. The reality on the ground is that black lives literally do not matter.
Black lives certainly do not matter to black people.
It’s all just gang wars in Haiti. There is no attempt to instill any form of order, beyond whatever order can come from brutal tribal warfare. In terms of what kind of order that is: presumably, once enough people are killed, certain gang/tribe leaders will establish themselves and there won’t be need for continuous killings.
But that time is not today.
