Police in Haiti has killed more than 1000 people with drones. What is this bullshit avoiding attribution to actually responsible people?
Bullets went on a killing spree
Civilians inexplicably stood in a line of fire
Well, its called burying the lede:
(End of the article)
Since August of 2025, Blackwater founder and prominent Donald Trump donor Erik Prince has helped deploy hundreds of private mercenaries to Haiti, Al Jazeera has reported. In addition to supplying personnel, Prince has acted as a key advisor to the drone assassination task force responsible for the devastation, which has drawn condemnations from human rights groups for suspected violations of international law.
Blackwater is a private military company responsible for the Nisour Square Massacre in Iraq, a shooting which left 17 civilians dead. (The four contractors responsible were pardoned by Trump during his first stint in the Oval Office.)
Evidently, Prince is now exporting that same carnage to Haiti — this time with drones — furthering a history of heavy-handed US meddling in the affairs of the beleaguered Caribbean nation.
Surprise!
Somehow, Blackwater returned.
But uh yeah burying the lede is what you do when you’re a coward, journalist style.
It was not the police who made the mistake, but the automatic drones! A great excuse yoo.
Police AND private contractors like Erik Prince
If you’re gonna get all bent out of shape about it then why attribute to police when they don’t have volition in the matter: “Haiti has killed more than 1000 people with police drones”
Erik Prince is directly behind this shit
His sister is Betsy DeVos, both children of billionaire Edgar Prince.
This fucking future sucks.
Science and tech somewhat help the new modern world but it also gives us lots of new, cool ways to kill!
Though the ongoing drone attacks are said to be part of a protracted campaign to reign in gang activity, there are at least 17 children counted among the dead, as well as 43 adults who are confirmed to have been civilian non-combatants
Minors can be gang members and murderers.
Interesting would be to know how many people the gangs killed on the same time. How many people did police kill in other ways in recent years?
Pretends to care about nuance by positing children could be murderers
Blatantly ignores 43 confirmed innocents killed mentioned in own comment
Please just look at OC’s post history, this is par for the course.
You could also be a gang member and murderer. Never can be sure. So I guess a police drone should be on its way to you?
Haiti is a pretty violent place. This article tells us very little context.
indeed, very little context and information but you still felt the need to say that the children that were killed were probably gang members and murderers. A bit weird if you ask me, but you do you.
probably
I mean possibly.
Yeah I know. That’s why I said that its possible that you are also a gang member and should be droned. I assume you don’t have a problem with that.
I didn’t say anything about anyone should be droned.
You were told that 17 children were killed by drones and dismissed that by saying “they could have been gang members.” That implies that you are okay with those children being killed by the drones, because they could have been gang members.
I’m just pointing out how absurd it is to say that because anyone anywhere could be a criminal, that doesn’t mean they should be killed by a drone.
Just asking questions, eh?
You might be innocently asking, but be aware that what you did is a common rhetorical technique that right-wing propagandists use to stop people from caring about violence against the innocent.
If you had brought up the possibility that the police were, say, killing children for money with their drones, or their drones were being hacked by criminal gangs, or that US mercenary groups - like the one run by Erik Prince - are actually flying them, then you may not have mistakenly furthered the goals of empire.
