4. The Radio One host said it was a trick to make people move
-- either to take their sleeping space or their things.

5. Haitian personality is now saying it is a trick to create panic...
Some people create a tsunami panic so people will run and leave their belongings which can then be stolen.

8. The President of Haiti stated this morning that he does not...
foresee violence because people "understand the situation".

He's either in denial or he is trying to keep peace, but people will turn into a self protection mode the longer they go without water, and violence is inevitable.
