Hundreds of prisoners have escaped from Haiti’s National Penitentiary in the capital, Port-au-Prince, after fighting broke out on Saturday, according to a law enforcement source.

In a post on X, one of Haiti’s Police Unions pleaded for all officers in the capital with access to cars and weapons to assist police battling to maintain control of the penitentiary, and warned that if the attackers were successful “we are done. No one will be spared in the capital because there will be 3,000 extra bandits now effective,” according to the statement.

Multiple security sources in Port-au-Prince told CNN that the most recent surge in violence, which began Thursday and has targeted police stations, the international airport and the National Penitentiary, is unprecedented in recent years.

On Friday, Haitian gang leader Jimmy Cherizier, also known as Barbecue, said he would continue in his effort to try and oust Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

I sure hope Biden and Mayorkas have sent them airplane tickets to NYC, free phones, gift cards with $10,000 and ID papers. It’s the only just thing we can do.

And where do you think those released prisoners will go?

Many will head straight for the Rio Grand.

The Haitians put criminals in jail and then let them go. We cut them loose when arrested, then dismiss any charges or deal it down to a minor misdemeanor.

Dominicans know what to do with Haitian cannibals.

Soon (thanks to Obama), the Latin conquest of the USA will bring the same treatment to the cannibals in the democrat party. The Dominicans have perfected the model policy of exterminating trouble makers. /spit

How does Haiti have prisoners when they don't have a government?

From January 10, 2023; "The last 10 remaining senators in Haiti’s parliament have officially left office, leaving the country without a single democratically elected government official."

On their way to our southwest border. Some day they’ll probably get reparations.

Signs on roadside in Haiti: (kidding)
Danger. Prison area. Do not pick up hitchhikers. Especially wild-eyed ones with tire machet blades.

Note:
Tire machèt is a Haitian martial art; a form of fencing with machetes. The origin of the practice lies in the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804 in which rebel slaves armed themselves.

https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=machestes+types+in+Haita&mid=56A8F69F07248A17F09956A8F69F07248A17F099&FORM=VIRE

In this unique form of fenching combat, practitioners engage with machetes. The roots of tire machèt lie in the resilience of rebel slaves who, armed primarily with the machetes they had previously used for cutting sugarcane, defeated the French colonial army.

Send them to the USA....
You’ve given the US government a great idea. Will gain sympathetic votes in the urban areas and all can be registered as Democrats as soon as they arrive.
