28676: Anonymous (reply) Corbett: One the rash of kinappings in Haiti (fwd)
I think the solution lies in the coming together of the Haitian diaspora, and
the many Americans who send relief money to Haiti. Those same individuals are
also sending ransom money on a regular basis. I make this proposal:
Let's start a fund at one of the major Haitian banks. Each Haitian living in
the US and all Americans with interest in Haiti would be asked to send 1 or
more dollar to a that fund. Each Haitian living in Haiti and tired of the mess
would be ask to bring at least 5 gourdes to the designated bank. The people of
Cite Soleil or any other neighborhood would hear on the radio (by public
service announcement) that every time someone turns in a kidnapper holding a
hostage, there is a 5000 dollar reward. Say on million people send 10
dollars. That would be more than enough money to catch all the kidnappers (that
would cover 200 thousand kidnappers) in the country. If 5 kidnappers are
caught (even with one victim), the reward is 25 thousand dollars. There could
also be some sort of wage/ life/disability insurance to help the spouse and
children of any policeman killed/disabled while rescuing hostages. I would not
be surprised if the police quickly would not even have to go on rescue
missions. We would see a return of the old fashioned citizen's arrest by the
mob of people who want their peace of mind and peace of the belly back. Having
so many friends and relatives in Haiti and having paid ransom money in the
past, I would be glad to send the first $500 seed money to start the fund.
Men anpil, chay pa lou!
