Port-au-Prince, Haiti — The State Department confirmed on Sunday that 16 Americans were among 17 people kidnapped in Haiti. A gang that was responsible for kidnapping five priests and two nuns earlier this year is being blamed for the recent kidnapping as well, police say.


quote:

The captives, who include five children, the youngest just two years old, were forced out of a bus at gunpoint after visiting an orphanage on Saturday in the suburbs of the capital, Port-au-Prince.

A step-by-step guide to not getting kidnapped in Haiti:

Step 1: Don't go to fricking Haiti.
Step 2: Repeat Step 1.

These guys have seriously screwed up. Our president will not stand for mistreatment of our countrymen and women.

If these heathens are white Christians, then they deserve whatever horrible fate they have for trying to colonize that beautiful country.

Stupid Christians trying to destroy what the Clintons rebuilt with their own blood, sweat, and tears.

Reminds me of the tourists who got kidnapped a decade or so ago hiking in the mountains on the border of Iran. People really need to stop fricking around and finding out.

Liberals who have no grasp on reality and think the world is full of sunshine and rainbows.

Hmm. Can we safely assume Steven Seagal and Keith David are currently getting their ammunition ready for a rescue mission?

Need a good department store arm break beat down scene in my life this AM!

My parents go a few times a year, they usually fly on the island. They know the risks but they are committed to a building a community school in the country. They spend their own money and send some every month to their people down there.

I was literally talking to some missionaries last week, who use to go to Haiti on those trips. Never understood why anyone would go do that in Haiti. Central and South American countries are still iffy places to go to, but the odds of something happening to you there is way less than in Haiti.

Sounds like a job for Seal Team 6

Brandon will probably just pay the ransom

The people going down there know the risk, but they feel righteous and convicted in what they are doing, which is very admirable IMO. Making such a sacrifice to make the world better is something that most people in this world would never have the balls to do.

Clinton Foundation finally stepping in and doing something in Haiti? Maybe they are trying to repopulate Epstein Island
