David Lloyd and his wife, Natalie, the daughter of Missouri state Rep. Ben Baker, and a third member of their missionary group were fatally shot in the attack.
I don’t agree with their religion and they shouldn’t have even been there. But to say that they were tourists is unfair. They were full-time missionaries. They (sadly) dedicated their lives to spreading their religion. They also probably tried to help meet basic needs like food, shelter, etc.
Religion is complicated and this was a preventable tragedy.
Why? They were missionaries. That’s not a good thing. Not saying they should be murdered of course but I think respect is really not what they deserve either.
I respect the work they were trying to do, but like… everyone was saying to GTFO of Haiti nearly a year ago. It’s not worth your life.
Haiti needs food, not Christian missionaries.
These are tourists killed on vacation.
They worked in an orphanage, providing food and shelter to children.

You’re right. Tourists don’t do anywhere near as much damage as missionaries.

With how much religion kills, no one who spreads their faith has clean hands.
I don’t respect the work they were doing. Shoving the Bible down people’s throats isn’t a nobel cause.
I don’t, keep your religious beliefs to yourself or fifo
