    PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — First the gangs blocked the roads to
    Haiti’s capital. Then they attacked the airport. Now they have
    breached the city’s main port, cutting off the capital from one
    of its last remaining lifelines for food and supplies as the
    country teeters toward collapse.

    On Wednesday night, dozens of gang members stormed the most
    important port terminal in Port-au-Prince, looting containers,
    damaging the port’s security apparatus and forcing the terminal
    to suspend its operations indefinitely, according to Philippe
    Coles, the president of Caribbean Port Services, which operates
    the terminal.

    “It’s total paralysis right now,” Coles said in an interview with
    The Washington Post. “The gangs have the control. They have the
    upper hand.”

    The port’s closure could have disastrous consequences for a
    capital that is now 80 percent controlled by gangs who, over the
    past week, have terrorized residents with a wave of killings,
    kidnappings and attacks on police stations. Thousands of inmates
    escaped the two biggest prisons over the weekend. The stench of
    dead bodies on the streets has prompted some families to leave
    their homes, human rights activists say. Gang members have
    encircled the international airport, forcing the suspension of
    flight operations, and have set fire to police stations. Gang
    roadblocks nationwide have made it nearly impossible to reach the
    capital by land. The country’s border with the Dominican Republic
    is closed. Even the country’s embattled prime minister has been
    unable to return to his country; earlier this week, he flew to
    Puerto Rico instead.

    “Everything has stopped. Medical supplies, food cannot come to Port-au-Prince. Right now nothing can enter by sea, by air, or by
    road,” said one manager in the shipping sector, who asked to
    remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to
    reporters. “It’s a disaster. Hunger will be the next step.”

    If the public had guns, the gangsters would already be dead.

    “Possession of firearms, ammunition, and dangerous weaponry is strictly prohibited to any person, unless the individual has a Haitian license or
    has been specifically authorized by Haitian authorities.”

    Surely they should have no gun crime and their murder rate should be about
    the same as in Japan.

    Blacks make up roughly 0.015% of the Japanese population.
