A brutal campaign of vigilante violence has delivered some solid results for the rule of lawlessness in the impoverished Caribbean nation, taking the lives of at least 160 suspected gang members in Haiti in just the last month Reuters reports on an assessment by local human rights group CARDH.
“Without making a value judgment, the ‘Bwa Kale’ movement has in just one month produced convincing, visible results, fear has changed sides,” said CARDH in their report. “Both kidnappings and gang-related killings have fallen drastically.” Bwa Kale started spontaneously early on the morning of April 24, when a mob of citizens in the capital city of Port-au-Prince who’d had enough of the gangbanger bullshit lynched and set fire to over a dozen suspected goons.
