An unidentified man was shot dead Friday while students staged another demonstration in a week of small but raucous street protests in the capital's downtown, authorities said. Frantz Lerebours, spokesman for Haiti's police force, said the young man was killed in an area where students have been protesting over a prison guard's alleged fatal shooting of a 24-year-old graduate student last Saturday. The man shot Friday appeared to be in his early 20s and was taken a few blocks to the emergency room at General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Judge Gabriel Ambroise said the victim wasn't carrying any identification. Police said they were investigating what happened. Protesters accused troops from the United Nations peacekeeping mission of possibly being responsible for the death. U.N. officials denied that. One demonstrator, Julien Marc Elie, said he saw U.N. troops fire their weapons in the direction of protesters.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
