There is not local policing. The country has been dominated by rival gangs, violence and lack of policing. This kind of stuff happens. Just as it did in NOLA. A lot of it is overstated and overhyped by the media, typically. We have what, 15K troops in the country? You'd think a couple of them could make a daily route to the medical facilities dropping off supplies. The American response in Haiti has been slow, mismanaged and incompetent. You don't hear the media beating Obama up about it, but there is really no excuse for our not having a stronger response 2 hours off our coast.
