So you are admitting that this sad event that turned into a political stunt is just what your kind (extremist xenophobic nationalist) will fed off the sensitiveness of the Haitian Government. Shame on you and that little evil smirk that can cause a Rwanda on Hispaniola. ¿Es lo que tu quieres? Well sorry to burst your bubble but the Haitians and Dominicans with free thinking abilities will not let the uneducated mass to believe all of their woes is due to thy neighbor.
Question how can a Dominican that lives abroad be xenophobic when your nationality have inundated many parts of the USA and P.R. ? Well, my friend we (Haitians) are on a road to recovery although slow but will get there. Human life is so fragile and delicate how can you sit here and condone something that can spark an atomic bomb in the DR and Haiti. Alone Herrera is a Haitian population amongst the natives. Imagine if this friction continues this can create your worst nightmares. There is over 1m Haitians in the DR and they haven’t taken over and many have diluted within the Dominican society. Why would you want to deprive another what you’ve enjoyed in a foreign country. The sad thing is you love DR a lot but if you lived in the DR you probably would be cleaning shoes near the monument in Santiago.
These act, both, are barbaric. And coward of the Dominicans that beheaded the murderers brother instead. As the Haitian Government said this should not be tolerated anymore, we should work with the DR government to condemn these people (any nationality) to the fullest extent. I have seen many Dominicans thinking they can get away or taking property of Haitians because they know they can get away with it. I guess this guy had enough and did something that shouldn’t be tolerated as well. My condolescence goes out to both family and hope they can overcome this event.
Now how can this be an immigration issue? How do you know these Haitians were UNDOCUMENTED? What about the Dominicans that commit crime in USA,PR and Spain? Should the good ones pay for the crime of the bad Dominicans. I recall a deportee from DR came back into the USA and murdered someone in the subway. Should we blame the Dominican community for this foolish act. Man I don’t know why I bother with you. First, you know damn well your punk ass isn’t going to get into a physical altercation unless it’s like 20 to 1. On another note, just deal with it..Haitian immigration to the DR is inevitable for now. If I were you I would learn to speak creole or move to Puerto Rico you Dominicans have flooded there that it’s almost the same as DR…
1. This is a crime committed in Dominican territory. Haitians should have no opinion on this matter. Let the Domincian authorities deal with it.
2. What property can Dominicans take from Haitians? Are you kidding me? Please, get real. Haitians are the ones who are coming to DR to occupy state property.
3. Most Haitians are illegal. You know damn well that chances of these Haitians to be legal resident is extremely limited. It does no make a different. Illegal or legal, we should not be together.
4. The Haitians community should not be blamed for the death of the people. However, to prevent future killing and misundestanding we need to send back all those Haitians who have no business being in DR.
5. Why is Haitian migration inevitable? We'll see in the near future. Enjoy that this government so pro-Haitian that they could not care less about their own people. One day we going to get tired of getting Haiti's excess population.
6. I told before. Help us take Haiti, divide the country into Dominican provinces and all of you become Dominican citizens.
Please take your medication I sanity is wearing off..and you are talking nothing but disparates=non sense. Many Haitians own businesses and the manual labor goes hand in hand with the progress and development in the DR. If you minus 1m Haitians in the DR the economy would collapse. Unless you and the millions of illegal Dominicans globally come back to live but you know that ain’t happening. DR has the right to imply its immigration laws but deporting all undocumented Haitians isn’t realistic. All this propaganda need to stop of the invasion and Haiti must improve to be economically equal as DR with more interchange between the two groups. You said we don’t mix but these people have been mixing way b4 you and I were born and I don’t think its ending soon. We’ve been on the island and both of us have kept our identity while influenced by each other which is inevitable.
We need cooperation not Dominican internet minute men living in foreign land wanting foreigners out of his country..the irony. Listen, why would Haitians want to be Dominican? Dominicans have no special privileges and need a visa to about every damn country a Haitian national needs one. Your kind will run out of air soon and swing inwards when the people realize they are not in this mess due to Haitians in the DR. I suggest learn creole and clean up your Spanish and find you a nice Dominican Haitian chick and bring her to the USA on a visa get married and live happily ever after. You know deep down that you love us. So don’t hate participate.
I don't like the way the Haitian media is recounting this to their people. They're making mountains out of molehills. They make it out as if the decapitated Haitian was targeted just because of his nationality, while sweeping the circumstances surrounding his death under the rug. They have a responsibility to do better than that.
Well said.
The hype here is unnecessary....One Haitian got killed because his brother killed another man. This is the LAST thing Haitian officials and journalists should be worrying about.
Let the Dominican judicial system operate and move on.....we all are stretching this well beyond the point.

Why Haitians want to be Dominican? Well, ask Sonia Pierre and all the Haitians who walking in DR with fake Spanish names. How would you feel if foreign invaders come to your house and just walk around doing whatever they want. If only Dominicans had a better sense of who they are, they would not alllow this mess. You guys keep crying and people fall for that. I know that that migration will most likely destroy DR but I can't die without trying to save my people. This is my mission in life. Is that the answer you wanted to hear from me? Just leave us alone, I will have no further discussion on this matter. All I ask is send Haitians back to Haiti. What is wrong about that? Dominicans and Haitians are not bothers and sisters. We have no responsibility to solve you problems. Get real. Let us respect our respective spaces. Just that.
If I were you, I would be worried about Dominican people moving forward so they too won’t have to immigrate illegally or legally just for the basic necessities unreachable. I can see you are devoted for this cause but in reality Haitians are not the enemy of the Dominican people. It’s unfortunate my people have to go to a poor developing country where the natives are leaving in droves because they want better. It shows that my country is in dire need of help if we look to the west of the island for a better future and work.
We are not crying. I am not and there is nothing wrong with a sovereign country as DR to curtail its migration laws. We all know Haitians living legally in DR have also been important to the DR economy I prefer my compatriots invest in Haiti and not go to school,open businesses, buy vacation homes, shopping spree in the DR because we need to circulate that money home.
You think we can go on living like we aren’t related,same damn island, and one doesn’t affect the other but reality will set in sooner than later. I personally have no static with DR nor Dominicans. All I want is respect for each other and live in peace on our respective side but interact as we should as opposite of the continent. As we speak Dominicans are on yola traveling illegally to PR and Haitians are crossing the border into the DR. You are dreaming if you think 1m Dominicans of Haitians descent and Haitian residents in the DR are going to move west.
Sonia Pierre is Dominican of Haitian descent and you know that. She is fighting for women rights and Dominicans of Haitian descent. Who don’t have a voice.
The issue at hand is that no public lynching should be tolerated, be it to punish criminals of Dominican or foreign nationality. We're a nation based on laws and order, we're NOT Africa or certain other countries where public safety, law and order or any type of security is missing.
That Haitian media is not reporting the events that concluded to the lynching of the Haitian national, is basically a problem of Haitians to deal with. Since their media controls what they read/see/hear of what happens within Haiti and in large of what happens in the outside world, it's their problem to deal with.
The fact that a mob formed and condoned the actions of a citizen, plainly criminal and horrendous for the actions, it’s intolerable.
I don't give an iota whether the man sought revenge or what not for the beheading of his kin, he knew better than to take the law into his hands. Add to that the fact that the man he killed was not the man that took his brother’s life, makes his actions the more disgusting.
What's next? Should we applaud the killing of family members of one family to satisfy another's loss? This is not a matter of what the Haitian gov can or lacks the authority to demand. This is a matter of law and order within a country based on respect and civil obligations.
Not one single Dominican gov official or congress member has voiced their disapproval or rebuke to the demand/claims elevated by Haiti. This is a good sign that they understand that allowing this kind of action within our country to go severely unpunished, will take away all and any advance we have made as a civil society based on law and order.
Public lynching have been happening all too often in the DR as of lately. The gov and law paid too little attention when the first case was publicized by the media here.
The Haitian man that beheaded his Dominican employer didn't have any right or excuse to his actions, for the same token this brother had even less acting out of vengeance and disregard for the rights and human life of the man he murdered so atrociously.
You're right in saying that it's a case for the DR's law and order system to deal with, but deal with it hasn't been done for too long and this is where we come to stand today for inaction.
This is not the first time a person is beheaded in the DR by criminal actions; the immense difference is the way the action was carried out in the case that sadly included a foreign national.
When the public applauds the actions of a single individual while committing a crime, is not any different than when criminals are tried in court of complicity to commit a crime.
Like I said, several of the people within the crowd were Haitians and of Haitian origin themselves, but even them failed to stop a crime from taking place b/c they have very little confidence and trust in the Police and law to bring criminals to pay for their crimes.
This is a monumental failure of our law and order to take the lead when other equal lynchings were taking place in the country. They only needed to prosecute to the maximum penalty to those who participated in past lynching; the actions would have stopped the same from happening again. Just like the Haitian official said: There's a perceived understanding in the Dominican population that actions like these will not be prosecuted and remain immune to the law.
Regarding Haiti and their officials, the same they demand from Dominican authorities should be done in Haiti. The times public lynching takes place in rural towns and remote places is far too often and very little, if anything, is done to prosecute those that take part in them.
As far as calling unto the international institutions in this case by Haiti will in fact reflect the lack of competence within Haiti's cabinet and officials, to separate the actions of individuals from gov policies and condoning of actions carried out by individuals at large.
This is a criminal case that needs to be prosecuted extensively and with severity by the DR's system. Anything that Haiti does only reflect back onto their own gov and policies adopted in regards to bi-national agreements and understanding.
