She could’ve driven a few minutes to Massachusetts, which has the 6th largest homeless population in the country and made a difference.



I was thinking the same. Many of the "migrants" that are coming to Mass. are from Haiti. This poor woman could have saved herself the hassle of flying over there and just come here instead to help.

The women usually get raped in these situations, too. I hope she's returned unharmed.

There was a woman journalist from Philly who spent time in Haiti trying to help and she got raped on two occasions. She then somehow blamed white men for the crimes committed by the Haitian men. I wish I could find the story.

I only wish that you were joking, but here it is: https://pjmedia.com/blog/melissa-clo...k-woman-n13766

I feel for the woman who was raped previous (putting aside the foolishness of her blame game for a second), just as I feel for the woman here (and her daughter) who got kidnapped. But I'm still floored that people are going to Haiti for much of anything.

Thank you.

Yeah, I try to keep myself out of places where things tend jump off more frequently than normal ...

Liberal "White Savior" complex. She'll probably end up blaming white supremacists.

Or find a husband, which seems like it may have been a prime motivating factor.

All because of "white patriarchy", according to the brainwashed Marxist radical far left.

Just imagine how modern and advanced Haiti would be today if the French had maintained power over the island?
