Ya gotta see these pics.

Quote:

We were covering another story when we heard shots being fired. We ran toward the sound and found a store being looted. Two Haitian police officers were occasionally firing into the air to try to keep order, but that only worked for a few moments, then the looting would begin again.

They were stealing boxes of candles. An American businessman named Tony who owns two stores nearby barricaded one street to keep looters away. He had armed the two Haitian police with automatic weapons, and they were assisting him, but they were not able to control anything beyond their barricade.

It quickly became a free-for-all. Young men began fighting one another for the stolen items. A number of young men had knives, and planks of wood, screwdrivers and rocks. They were using their improvised weapons to threaten and injure others who had stolen items from the store. The robbers were now being robbed. One group of looters whipped another man with a leather belt. They punched him as well, and they stole the sack of goods he'd just stolen.

I was in the midst of the melee with Charlie Moore, my producer, Neil Hallsworth my cameraman, Vlad Duthiers, my translator, and there was a still photographer from Getty Images with us, photojournalist Jonathan Torgovnik. As things got really out of control, I saw a looter on the roof of the store they'd broken into throw what I think was part of a concrete block into the crowd. It hit a small boy in the head.

I saw him collapse. More chunks of concrete were being thrown at the looters on the roof. The injured boy couldn't get up. He'd try and then collapse again. Blood was pouring from his head. He was conscious but had no control over his body. I was afraid someone on the roof would see him lying there and throw another cinder block piece onto him. I was afraid he'd get killed. No one seemed to be helping him.

I ran to where he was struggling, and picked him up off the ground. I brought him to a spot about a hundred feet away. I could feel his warm blood on my arms. I stood him up, but he was clearly unable to walk. He wiped his bloody face, and I tried to reassure him. He had no idea where he was, and he clearly couldn't walk, so I picked him up again and handed him over to someone behind that makeshift barricade. Tony, the American businessman, gave the boy a wet towel. He was then taken away by someone else. We don't know what happened to him.

I hope he's ok.

ketchup....

Dante84 01-19-2010 12:58 AM

Watch the video and tell me its ketchup. The kids has blood literally pouring down his face.

That being said, I know you were joking.

Bugeater 01-19-2010 01:00 AM

Cooper may be the the ****ing man, but Tony is a ****ing moron for risking his life for whatever he has in that store. I'd cut my losses and get the hell out of there.

Hammock Parties 01-19-2010 01:05 AM

Anderson Cooper has nice guns. He wears a shirt with short sleeves to show them off! What a sexy hero man!

stlchiefs 01-19-2010 01:05 AM

Interesting decision by Anderson to decide to get involved in the action rather than just report it. I definitely support his decision, there are enough journalists down there reporting about everything going wrong, it's great to see one act with human emotion, step up and help out in a time of need. Similar to Dr. Sanjay Gupta performing brain surgery on a girl down there as well.

My dad worked over in that country many years ago. He told me stories that you'd see dead bodies laying along side the roads out in the country side. That place needs to be nuked. Those people are not civil.

Mastashake 01-19-2010 01:14 AM

Great to see top-notch photojournalism in this day and age. Its been hard to find since the Vietnam era.

I guess it doesn't matter if the child was saved, but I hope he did this with the intention of helping the kid and not ratings. I wish CNN would have left this one off the website, if not for the great photography.

Reminds me of Katrina. A guy I know was working for the Red Cross, and getting shot at.

The human condition is twisted. Combine our instinct to do the opposite of what is good for us, with the mob mentality and you have a recipe for disaster.

I don't understand this line of thought...there is really shitty stuff happening in our country EVERY day...Would Haiti come to LA's rescue if there was an earthquake?....Prolly not...I'm fairly sure there's a kid with a bloody forehead in the US EVERY DAY that's not shown on the 10 o'clock news...

Haiti didn't, but Cuba gave us $1,000,000 for Hurricane Katrina. So did Venezuela. And Cuba was the FIRST country to offer.

You put the gloves down when someone is injured.

Edited to add: We didn't actually take the money from Cuba or Venezuela. Money wasn't really the issue.

Not to defend Hog but why on earth are we spending our tax money to save them??? They produce NOTHING that benefits our country...They can't and won't pay us back...

Would you go to Haiti after reading the following?....

I'm not stupid...it's just my opinion...Why don't you spend you're money and fly down there and help out if it's that important to you...

I wouldn't give up on him. A lot of the folks there are NOT behaving badly. Even after most of the city has been flattened.

The prior history of the country is well documented. The abject poverty as well as the violence described by your father makes for a very sad and scary place. But it's almost too easy to judge from our relatively cozy bearth. To have any grace under that kind of pressure is an extraordinary thing.

I read an interesting opinion/blog piece today that you might find interesting: http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/1....haiti/?hpt=C2

What if he was wealthy and his house burned to the ground because he had a meth lab and none of his family of 18 were injured . Would you take them in and house them and feed them until they could get an insurance settlement and rebuild their crack house ?

I'll give you a hint, the vast majority of your tax money goes to little things like the military, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Aid to foreign nations is not a large portion of federal expenditures.

IMO under no circumstance does hate justify hate. There's too much anger in the world anyway, no need to create some more. If someone treats you a certain way, that does not mean it is then justified to treat them the same way. But that's just my philosophy, IMO we could all benefit from some more love, peace and empathy.

We could all do some good by listening to some Bob Marley. :)

No, you are building straw man arguments.

I never said anything of the sort. Lets look clearly at what ive been responding too. First of all this all started because you said we should just nuke that country.

Lets just get that out there.

Then people started talking taxes with you because you made it sound like a disproportionate amount was going to something like the efforts in Haiti. Which it isn't...in the least.

Lets just get that out there.

Yeah...your and idiot...lets get that out there...try reading the thread before you make an ass of yourself.

Then people started talking taxes with you because you made it sound like a disproportionate amount was going to something like the efforts in Haiti. Which it isn't...in the least.

Really...You didn't post those figures? Who did then? You're Momma? How in the hell do you know how much is being spent on what and why?

No I'm not...Do you know what a "straw man" is? I've personally dealt with assholes who create them and they are not fun people to deal with.

You saying this IS a straw man argument.

"are you saying the military has NOTHING to do with humanitarian aid?"

Nobody is ****ing saying that. But the idea that this aid is more the smallest percentage point in the US MILITARY budget is crazy.

How much of your taxes do you believe are going to Haiti.

You are the one that is mad over it. I have no problem with them using some of my taxes for aide.

Feel free to answer the question. I understand if you don't want to because it would be the most minuscule amount.

It means exactly what it says.

You had to create a fake argument "that military funding had nothing to do with humanitarian aid" that I didn't make and respond to it.

Nobody said that.

How much of your taxes do you think is going to Haiti.

You are the one angry about it. You would think you would have something to get angry over. So how much is it do you think?

|Zach| 01-19-2010 03:21 AM

Maybe you are just frustrated and lonely?
