Autopsy


When the shooting started during the funeral procession, somehow I was not surprised.

I asked myself: Who is shooting? But there was not much time to think much about anything. Mayhem ensued.

Father Jean-Juste's funeral procession had been peaceful up until then.

Only later was I able to document that the horrible shooting was done by MINUSTAH and a young Haitian man had died immediately. His head and face were almost ripped off by a bullet. His body lay near the side door of the cathedral that we had just exited.

He had committed no crime.

See Kim Ives article here.

This is all so sickening.
