Haitian Mob Burns Suspected Gang Members Alive in Vigilante Attack
TL;DR
A mob of vigilantes in Haiti beat and burned 13 suspected gang members to death in the streets of Port-au-Prince. The men were pulled from police custody during a traffic stop and attacked with gasoline-soaked tires. Witnesses said the attack came as the purported gangsters were en route to back up their associates in a firefight with police. The brutal carnage highlights the growing anarchy in Port-au-Prince since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, which left a political vacuum in the island nation considered the poorest in the Western Hemisphere.
