  1. Pray for the people of Haiti.

  2. It's more than a little suspicious to see a country devoid of leadership and a population lacking basic necessities yet, somehow, expensive military-grade weaponry is seemingly everywhere… available to any and all. I'm pretty sure none of these firearms are manufactured in Haiti, nor are the ships and planes that deliver said weapons owned by Haitians.

  3. I'm sure we all know who has a hand in the cookie jar

  4. Another failed state due to the United Nations

  5. Barbecue days are numbers along with all his evil allies haity will see and live with peace in the name of Jesus I declare it so, Amen! for all my brothers and sister that are in haity and here in the dominican republic

  6. Where did they get all these fresh out of the box guns

  7. When liberals think america is so bad…

  8. Too many other important World problems right now to even care about Haiti. Let them deal with their own BBQ problems and no need to cover it. 😂

  9. Welcome to the gutless coward and gross incompetent Joe Biden’s new world order of misery, chaos, violence, and death.

  10. Please close the border ! Fast

  11. I wouldn't doubt if the Biden administration had something to do with it , to get more dangerous traveling migrants.

  12. Are gangs, stabilizing Haiti or is America stabilizing Haiti?
    90% of the guns in Haiti are made in America🤔

  13. And guess what, our borders are wide open, those prisoners will be sent here

  14. God help them!!! Against this evil!!

  15. Worry not Hati will send them all to a country with wide open borders. America

  16. They will all come here and live for free off of our tax money!

  17. The USA IS ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF THIS HAD CIA AND ARMY HELP DESTROY THAT COUNTRY ALONG WITH THE FRENCH SINCE THE GOT THEIR OWN FREEDOM

  18. In other countries insurrection looks like this. Here old people wander the capital.

  19. Remember when the U.N and the U.S offered help and they said they weren't going to be colonized hows that going so far?

  20. This is what 10% for the big guy gets you.

  21. Barbecue, Grilled, and Fried are some of the most wanted criminals in Haiti.

  22. Where the gangs get the M-16, AR-15 and their ammo. I could have sworn I seen a Daniel Defense AR-15 model 😂😅 The European white 😈 are up to their demonic tricks again..

  23. -Another nice place to visit. Sunny & bright, friendly people smiling & looking at you almost like you're a target. Show you're nice too & flash a little cash. Even bar bq's are given. What more can you want?

  24. Caucasians government's behind the seens pulling strings everywhere.
    🇺🇸 Mainstream fake news media spreading propaganda.
    Even here in America, its all they do is lies.

  25. Barbecue and hot sauce heading to the usa

  26. They cant maintain a functional society

  27. At this point, the United States or some other country needs to invade Haiti. Haiti has been struggling since its inception because of its revolution.

    But this is just different, this is GTA in real life and it is beyond self repair.

  28. Lock the borders cuz they want to come over here now

  29. Hopefully countries will resist the urge to get involved.

  30. You don't have to be rich before you invest…
    Ask me how.

  31. 🎶 On The 🚢 Boats and On The ✈️ Planes 🎸 Their Coming To HILLERY'S HOUSE 🎵 🤣 😂

  32. is usa giving money to them too for gender reassignment?

  33. I wonder where they got all those ARs?

  34. Wow.. America government said they were going all in on Haiti. We all knew they meant cause chaos. Europeans always hated Haiti since their independence.

  35. Such a rich and beautiful culture why would anyone want to leave Haiti 🤣

  36. Anyone care to wager weather or not any weapons used by these ……. were left in Afghanistan?

  37. Most of my life Haiti has been the definition of state of emergency.

  38. Soon they’re gonna be called “asylum seekers”

  39. Using this as a taking point for immigration during an election cycle is pretty disgusting. This has nothing to do with joe Biden. Show some empathy for the people of Haiti.

  40. They telling people to leave!!! Why go where??? I hope they not coming here!!?!

  41. Ask the Clinton’s where all that money they made for this country went?

  42. Just say that the gang members are all Hamas, and the US will actually send troops, resources, and BILLIONS of US dollars to Haiti.

  43. Wait till they start making there way to Florida coast lines. Haiti is about 800-1000 miles from Florida. Were seeing people make it to Texas from much further distances

  44. No problem. Biden got this. He already have them first class tickets to the southern border
