Here's an interesting video from yesterday. Filmed at Pinturas (27 Feb and Isabela Aguiar)

Armed windshield washers
I don't think the guy's comment is necessary, (saying malditos haitianos), these window cleaners can be quite insistent which is annoying. However, arming themselves and blatantly showing his knife like that is quite scary and police should be intervening. There is an DIGESETT (AMET) office right next to him but he probably wouldn't do anything about it or report it to the police nacional.
I think the coment is very necessary !!! Stop your wokeness. This guy comes is armed with a knife to "wash windows" . F... him and his friends !!!
The guy is a **** for coming to 'work' with a knife and the authorities should arrest him, get him off the streets and even deport him and if his friends are armed too then they should receive the same treatment. But the comment the guy made just spreads unnecessary hatred.
I think they didn't take out the knives where the AMET could see them. There is an advertisement thing between them and the AMET and they put away the knives when they walked away which would be within view of the AMET.
As for how he referred to the Haitians, it's somewhat common for even mothers to refer to their kids in what may appear as not a nice way, especially when the kid(s) did something that made her angry or surprised for the wrong reason. I wouldn't put much value to that. It's like corporate punishment, more widespread in the DR than anyone would think. It was obvious the guy was surprised to see them with knives. They are probably not the only ones, just the few that got caught.
Be careful when dealing with people who do not value life or the lives of others like we do.
The down side is if you park in the same area/ block on a regular basis, you risk having your mirrors stolen/ broken, doors scratched and in some cases tires flattened if you never give them any money. Not speaking from personal experience but I've heard plenty of stories from folks who live here.
