This is an old story from 2010 but I'll try and comment anyway.
People see the world through hazy goggles. We have people on PDF who are positive that in some war in some country side A is positively in the right while side B is dead wrong. You would be hard pressed to convince them otherwise no matter what sound logic you try and use to show their view on the situation is illogical.
This woman is an activist who seems to feel that the desperate situation in Haiti (poverty) is due to some conspiracy to keep them "down" by some group other than the Haitians themselves..we'll just call this outside force the "white man"...since well somebody has to take the blame.
Now she gets attacked and since she is such a heavy sympathizer of the Haiti situation she still blames the "outside force" for it.
In fact since she is not a native of Haiti she even sees herself as part of that outside force and well she now shows sympathy for her attacker as she is obviously part of the problem and that was the sole reason why she was attacked (sigh).
So what can you say?
