Sometimes a gangster really is a gangster. Exhibit A in the Daily Mail (UK):
Social media star YourFellowArab has been taken hostage in Haiti by one of the gangs who have become de-facto leaders in the midst of the violence that has ravaged the Caribbean island. YourFellowArab, whose real name is Addison Pierre Maalouf, was on the island to interview the man known popularly as Jimmy 'Barbecue' Cerisier, the most powerful gang leader in the country. On March 14, Maalouf was taken by a gang known as the 400 Mawozo, led by kingpin Lanmo 100 jou, who is on the FBI most wanted list. Maalouf is being held for a ransom of $600,000. Around $40,000 has been paid so far to the hostage takers, reports Haiti24. A Haitian colleague was also taken. Maalouf, who is of Lebanese descent, is based in Atlanta. On his official website, Maalouf refers to himself as a 'comedian, pro player and content creator... Man of the people.' Rest of article.
You can't make this up.

Some people just seem to have no understanding of consequences.
whatever moron wrote this story needs a course in geography.
haiti is not an island.
the country of haiti occupies the western 1/3 of the island of hispaniola .
the country of the dominican republic occupies the eastern 2/3 of the island of hispaniola .
this is another example of how a glitzy news outlet doesn't even know the basic fundamentals of the country they are reporting
on.
what is now haiti was colonized and created by the stinking french.
and the stinking french, one of the worlds wealthiest countries, has never not once so much as lifted a finger to help the haitians. their former colony.
to the contrary the french had haiti paying them millions of dollars per year all the way up until the end of WWll when president truman put a stop to said extortion. supposedly theses payments were reparations for property seized during the haitian revolution which began about 1789.
that is what crippled the haitian economy for 200 years and is what is at the root of the problems there now..
He’s probably a liberal that went there to show westerners how bad these people have it and why love wins
You can't fix stupid.
5:56... Well stated!
Come on Kingfish!! Yawn….
5:56 is right.
the french created that mess in haiti. let the french go clean it up.
this is not the first time the french dumped one of their colonial messes on the united states.........remember a place called vietnam?
99% of the people in this country think france is an allied with the usa . those people hate us worse than the muslims.
@10:44 AM - You are confusing the Parisians, other big city French people, and politicians, with the rest of France. Go to the Normandy region, Alps, or other rural areas. They love us there.
