(118,666 posts)2. I was hard on Haiti during the 2016 election because the Clinton's pulled their
foundation out of Haiti a bit after 2010. I assumed it was because you cannot get away from having to do graft in Haiti to get things done and a Clinton run for the Presidency would not have gone well with a graft scandal. But hell yeah. Haiti does not do shit like what was let happen in Florida today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Jean_Bosco_massacre
The St. Jean Bosco massacre took place in Haiti on 11 September 1988. At least 13 people[1] (it is impossible to say how many;[2] some sources say 50[3]) were killed and around 80 wounded in a three-hour assault on the Saint-Jean Bosco church in Port-au-Prince, which saw the church burned down.[1][4]
The church was the parish of future President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, then a liberation theology Roman Catholic priest of the Salesians of Don Bosco order, and had been packed with 1000 people for Sunday mass.[4] Aristide, who had survived at least six attempts on his life after a fiery 1985 Mass had helped spark the unrest which eventually led to the 1986 overthrow of the dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier,[5] was evacuated from the church into a residence inside the church compound.[6]
