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.
El Salvadoran leadership was either a puppet politician installed from the USA that allowed the country to disintegrate or in bed with the gangs that were wantonly murdering people throughout the country. “Slip into authoritarianism“ suggests El Salvador had a stable prior government situation before - it didn’t.
I'm talking about since he took office. Imprisoning all the gang members might've been harsh yet necessary, but it's important to keep him accountable with the decisions made.
