| Police kill man in Haiti over allegedly stolen rice Karl
Penhaul, Haitian police shot and killed a man they suspected of stealing rice in earthquake-ravaged Port-au-Prince on Thursday, leaving his body on the sidewalk for hours as his family mourned. The dead man's mother identified him as Gentile Cherie, a 20-year-old carpenter. A companion with him was wounded, and a third man nearby was hit by what he said was a stray bullet. Witnesses said no one was looting at the time. Josef Josnain, the owner of a shop near the city's airport, said the five bags of rice the men were found with fell from a truck and passers-by picked them up. And Cherie's wounded companion, who did not give his name, said a truck driver gave them the rice. "A truck stopped and we jumped on, and the driver gave us the rice as a gift," he said. "But the cops shot us." "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Fall Of The Republic - Buy the DVD here |
