PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – "If you don't kill the criminals, they will all come back," a Haitian police officer [wrongly] shouts over a loudspeaker in the country's most notorious slum, imploring citizens to take justice into their own hands. The call for vigilantes comes as influential gang leaders who escaped from a heavily damaged prison during the country's killer earthquake are taking advantage of a void left by police and peacekeepers focused on disaster relief.
