PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — --snip--
James Solages, a U.S. citizen, is among the six people arrested so far in Moïse’s killing, according to Mathias Pierre, Haiti’s minister of elections and inter-party relations. Pierre told The Washington Post that at least one other detainee is also believed to be a Haitian American. Four other suspects have been killed, authorities have said.

The assassination of Moïse early Wednesday has deepened the spiraling political crisis in this impoverished Caribbean nation.Authorities have not yet provided evidence of the detainees’ alleged involvement in the assassination.

Pierre shared a video of two suspects being apprehended and jeered by a surrounding crowd. He said the detainees were being held at a police station in the capital that had been surrounded by an angry mob.

“The special units are trying to protect the police station, because the population is very mad and is trying to get to them, to burn them,” he said. “We’re trying to avoid that.”

Authorities have not released the names of the other detainees, but Haitian Communications Minister Pradel Henriquez has described them as “foreigners.”

1. "We're trying to avoid that."

That really needed to be added ?

2. Memories of old westerns with the "lynching parties" outside the jail.

"trying to avoid" doesn't resonate with assurance, does it?

8. He really nailed the dismount there.

6. First thing that popped in mind too.

9. Same here. nt

[hookaleft]

14. Yep!

[onetexan]

10. In a just world Prince would be in a prison or sent out for sunrise service with a chair, blindfold,

... brick wall, straw bales, and leather straps. The man is traitor to America and a cancer on the
world. I remember Prince just happened to "run into" a Russian agent, a middle eastern middle
man, and some other slime ball in the Seychelles Islands* right after the election in 2016 or early
2017 to set up a back channel communication network with Trumpers and Russia.

11. Joining the chorus: that was my very first thought. nt

12. Wouldn't surprise me

[Ilsa]

5. The first day after the assassination, there was a report of

attackers/killers being overheard speaking spanish, not Creole or French, etc. I wondered then if someone, not in the US government, but a private billionaire, set this up. Why? I don't know, but there must be money, power, or resources at stake.

I wonder who was above him.
