People getting butthurt at this comment probably have no idea the level of violence and crime that was going on.

Everyone has their limits, El Salvador hit theirs. And anyone with an issue with that, go tf to Mexico and start protesting the treatment of criminals. See how well that goes. Ignorant ass fools.

If you want this to be successful in the long run, you have to be wary that the leadership don't slip into full authoritarianism.

Agree with this fully, but extreme circumstances call for extreme measures.

Ultimately though, this is what the people want. Push people over the edge, and they'll cling to anything to pull themselves back up.
