 Edwige Mondesir, a Haitian resident of Moorpark, CA, engaged in a standoff with Ventura County Sheriff SWAT on Wednesday, 9/18/2024, over an eviction notice. He livestreamed his disjointed rant on YouTube, calling for the FBI to save him. I can't recall anyone doing this in the county yet; the livestream part, not the FBI. He also said he wasn't coming out alive, even though he had no firearms. Based on his YouTube videos, he feels that he is being harassed because he is Haitian. I think it's more that he's probably quite seriously mentally ill and didn't pay his rent (or something). There are plenty of people who think the police are out to get them and pick X kind of racism as the reason. After a few hours, SWAT entered and used OC (pepper spray) to subdue him. He was taken into custody without injury. His pet cat was safe and not eaten. There was little sympathy shown for him in the YouTube live chat. This guy is clearly off his rocker and his videos are apparently a catalog of imagined injustices against him. While this could be any mentally ill nutbag in the state, it bears pointing out given the current Haitian controversy that this is another Haitian immigrant. Clearly, we are not getting the best.
