How Will Haitian Gangs be Defeated?

Haitian gangs make America’s street collectives look like tame sheep, even if they are wolves, too. Rapes, beheadings, and the disposal of bodies as offal for swine are in the repertoire of Haiti’s worst.

Like the Chicago Boys did for Chile, this is what ought to happen for this beleaguered nation. In the aforementioned case, free marketers introduced small measures of capitalistic ideals to the Chilean government. The result? Chile became the richest nation in South America at that time.

For the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, overrun by gangs (some supported by the government, no less) who have kidnapped dozens of people over the years, this includes, currently, seventeen Americans with a million dollars on each of their heads.

While the corrupt United Nations can do virtually nothing to get these citizens back to the U.S., it should be up to officials within Haiti to eliminate the gang members, and restore order to the nation.

That may be asking a lot. Kidnapping has proven to be one of the most profitable modes of obtaining funds. This is not an excuse for the US to storm yet another country, and get involved in yet another quagmire. The only exception to this rule would be the rescue of Americans who’ve been kidnapped. Navy SEALs should get in and get out, and that should be it.

There should be no food packages, educational programs, or the development of infrastructure in Haiti by the U.S. These brutes should be dealt with in such a way as to make them as uncomfortable as possible. Haiti stands as an example of how lawlessness and irrationalism can literally kill a country.

The gangsters deserve to be either killed, or put on trial, and sent to the penitentiary. In the grand scheme of things, there should be a focus on the fact that these hoodlums represent a nation that has long been the site of tumult. Two catastrophic earthquakes, and an assasination of President Jovenel Moïse.

What could be the most sick and twisted thing is that the assassinated president may have been involved in gang activity himself before he was slain. That’s how disgusting this matter is. When the head of a country could be ingrained in gang life, all of Haiti should be demolished with bombs and started all over. Of course, the residents would have an opportunity to escape to the nearby Dominican Republic before all of this bombing. After clearing the rubble and building anew, there should be a constitution written to distinguish the old from the new.

Once the thoughts of ridding the nation of all their functions, it should be embedded in the consciousness that Haiti can become a destination place.

As long as gangs continue to plague Haiti, there ought to be more opportunities for entrepreneurs to find ways to combat them. Haitians should erect businesses that will encourage youths to engage in capitalistic activity. More intensive training should be administered to the police squads as well. Support for rational, proper police departments should provide for a better Haiti that will protect those businesses. When these enterprises arise, it will be a boon to the overall society within Haiti.

If businesspeople know the way to make their own security details, private investigator offices, and other measures to protect lives and property of other Haitians and visitors to the country, there should be a groundswell of new tactics and strategies to end gang warfare. The righteous government will still be at the helm of all this activity to protect individual rights.

In all, Haiti’s gangs will be toppled by the powers of integrity and honesty within the government. It is the State’s sole responsibility to safeguard citizens from the onslaught of gangs. With a government that is proper and upright, we may see a day where a hellhole like Haiti can one day be the lovely nation it could have always been.
