[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

A group of Christian missionaries and their family members were kidnapped by the 400 Mawozo gang on Saturday in La Trembley area of Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Officials say the group — which includes 16 Americans, a Canadian and several children — were kidnapped while leaving an orphanage in Croix des Bouquets

The missionaries were abducted from a bus headed to the airport near Carrefour Boen and La Tremblay 17 on the road to Ganthier

One of the abductees sent a voice message via WhatsApp saying: 'Please pray for us!! We are being held hostage. We don't know where they are taking us'

The US government is aware of the kidnapping reports and officials at the American embassy are reportedly 'working to see what can be done'

400 Mawozo also kidnapped another group of Christian worshippers who were travelling to Ganthier in April, keeping them hostage for almost three weeks

A surge in gang violence has displaced thousands and hampered economic activity in the poorest country in the Americas

My opinion on this matter really is bland,
but I would be interested in other opinions
on the missionaries' position.

#2 Why are Christian missionaries going to a Catholic country?
Oh wait ... got it.

#3 Do gooders got done bad, that's all. It's the way live rolls. I hope the kidnappers lose money on the deal so they'll stop it.
