#ElSalvador #GangRelatedCrimes #StreetGangs
I know how compasionate the president doing his job with this issue! Impose a law to execute all evil politician funding gangs to prevent more casualties!
The biggest treat and enemy of el salvador government is the corrupt evil politician funding and tolerating evil gangs that love violence!
Dont come to usa please
*This is what America needs, but if we did this people would riot. Lost gangsters in America are protected.*
Nothing but cockroaches . Lock them up forever.
Thats Chicago every weekend
You need to pay your cops better
Now the country has to execute all those punks Singapore style and you have no more MS-13 and 18 St
Prisoning people needs money 😭
Sheeeesh!
Each gang should be separated from one another to prevent gang wars 🙁
“When you hear of stories like this it makes it easy to understand why people are fleeing that country” oh yeah sure, but why doesn’t it make it easy to understand why people in other countries don’t want to have their doors open? I hope that president stays strong, great job cracking down on them.
How many Salvadorians are u gonna take into your home?
It’s simple
Why would we want to open our doors to people we don’t know? Knock on the door, file paper work and then we may let you in. A sob story isn’t enough when you’re traveling with wolves amongst the sheep
@DarkSpider361 Hey man, I get it. That’s what I’m saying. It’s easy to understand why people are fleeing, but I’m the bad guy for saying what nobody else wants to say out loud? “What if they bring that with them?”
Good thing our border is open to all those people in need. Warms my heart, Biden 2024
Ngl something about these kits that make them unique the berret and everything, fire lmao. godspeed boooois
Mano dura Mr.Bukele, que sientan el poder de la ley en sus huesos,han jugado demasiado tiempo con la justicia,han asesinado,traficado y violado con impunidad total,es hora que se recojan al buen vivir.
Los criminales piensen 2 veces antes de violar la ley. 😡
They need to keep animals in cages. But treat the violent offenders who embrace their lifestyle justly. Going forward, they lose ALL clothes privileges. The have to spend usual day to day activities naked as the day they were born. Also, they can have an outside “award cage” where these naked animal prisoners go to get tossed out food scraps left in a dumpster for them. If they break any conduct rules, no food for that day. They gotta be segregated and disincentivized. Simple.
“First come, first serve esse’. “ That would do more to deter them from prison than 30 years, Life or even death penalty.
It’s ironic that the country with the highest murder rate is called The Saviour
Well DAM…. They’ve outdone Chicago 👀
Gang members should get automatic death penalty. That’s probably the general sentiment. I can see that.
Sounds like Chicago.
I love America.
Get rid of them
Let me get this straight. These gang members wearing masks?
Can we open the border so we can let them in the US please??? Ohhh wait I forgot
Meanwhile in Chicago…
Good that’s the way they have to treat criminals good for bukele and El Salvador 🇸🇻
For many years these animals/gangs have terrorized all of the country for a long time. It’s about time a President had the balls to fight back and take control of the country and fight against these gangs causing mayhem daily.
You put 2 rivel gangs in 1 place they become 1 gang witch creates a bigger problem they stop killing each other and start killing none gang members it’s better to have 2 gangs agent’s each other then have 2 become 1 gangs because then more innocent people become the victim of every crime
It may sound smart locking them up with each other but it can also back fire on the public like the old saying 2 army’s become 1 then you have a bigger problem on your hands
God please Protect and Guide this President, as well as Ukraine’s
Significantly more people than that die in America on any given day most weeks from gang violence
The world needs to know that putin is the only man capable of leading if there is an alien invasion. He is thanos. The rest of you leaders are just wanna bes.
Nato expansions is just wrong. Putin is ahead of the curve. Thats a leader!
The world is better if putin and trump are in the throne. They are both bright. But they need to think about climate change. Renewable energy resources, Dogecoin, Universal basic income, technologies, reverse aging, make life a multi planetary species, unity.
CNN staffs are clowns, they are nothing. Well cant blame them, they have to make a living. They have to lie to make a living.
send them to the ocean problem solved.
Bitcoin solves this 😂
im just curious,sorry!,but why is america there again?i think its just their internal problem,they just make it even worst,just like other country that we all know
Send em to California
And how many murders in Chicago this year?
2 words Martial Law
Too bad we have incompetent leadership from the top down 👇
Yup and America will end up the same way soon
I’m sure none of those fleeing north have any ties to MS-13. /s
Life in prison no parole
Wish a lot of governments took action like that and fight the real WARS the 🌎 needs to be in peace already like one nation.. God bless the great leader 👁⏳👁 #BUKELE
They should line them all up I’ll pull the trigger
And we have POSs from this country, along with over 150 other countries, pouring over our border.
Those tattoos don’t say “ possible “ gang members.
Hard to believe this many died in one weekend? Are you kidding me Tom, you never heard of Chicago?
Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
Man being in a gang looks so awsome. I want to live my life in prison too………
The idiots criticizing the man in charge, until one of their own gets murdered.
18=666 slaves
Your government is who the creator warned us about in the Holy Bible , the correct holy Bible no versions of and in the correct holy Bible there will be red and black writing if you don’t have red and black writing you don’t have the correct Bible
He’s a great president making so much changes. Bringing more security, investing in the countries financial crisis with Bitcoin. He’s a great leader
He’s a young leader with ambition which most of these old politicians in office lack. They’re old sitting in power for their financial gain
Our government is a gang who needs to be brought to justice just like this.
Pls. Pray the Rosary and Devine Mercy Chaplet to free all countries from war, hunger, calamities..pls. pray for peace and joy on all families and home…
We have an open borders let them folks come here and vote for the fine Democrats running this country.
Let’s open up the border hey kamala?
Un abarzo al pais hermano de El Salvador Dios los bendiga!!
Capital punishment for every single one of them.
Ukrainians are staying home and fighting for their country. Stay out of America and fight for your country
Build that wall🇺🇸
40 murders a month in chicago alone…..state of emergency???? Nah, defund the police
Deport them all to America, problem solved.
La casa whopper 😂😂😂
Praying for better days for my country 🇸🇻💙🤍
This gang make me think to Ghost Recon Wildlands
They need duterte for 4 yrs, guarantee El Salvador would change.
What a great president. This tactic will come to the USA in 10 years.
Send the military into the jails and just mow them all down with 50 cals
We can’t do that here because everyone has fkn morals!!
The fakenews title says over 30 years when in fact is 3 years cause this number of death were regular numbers with the old government. Ever since bukele got in power he brought the numbers down this happened cause the government opposition paid the gangs to scared away the billionaires visiting the country and they used the usaid money to paid them which they get it from slowjoes government cause his sending it to the government opposition instead of the current government.
EL SALVADOR has the most corrupt government of any country in the world. “Prisoners will only be fed twice” not twice a day. Not twice a week. Twice… Two times. What will they eat after those two meals? Each other?
coming to a neighborhood near you…in the US. thanks joe.
It was never meant to be like this. We were designed to love one another. Nevertheless, although merciful (John 8:1-11) (Ezekiel 18:23,32), God’s laws still apply to fallen man. Genesis 9:6. If only man would do as He was told (Romans 13:1-7). You would not have this disaster ( Romans 1:18-25).
Take note Chicago
Their country sucks so they flee it instead of staying and trying to fix it..
The u.s media is the most dishonest pos on the planet. They say bukeles gives money to gangs but they don’t say Biden gives crackpipes and needles to the addicts. They say 60+ homicide are to blame for people leaving the country meanwhile BLM burnt down hundreds of cities in 2020 and they called it peaceful protest and the summer of love. If the earth swallowed up CNN and MSNBC it would be a good day for humanity.
All this is caused by American drug laws and American drug consumption. It’s never gonna change until the US does it’s part in changing policy.
It’s unbelievable how the gang mentality was imported from the United States…
They will have to hunt down these thugs and execute them if they want change. Please don’t come to the US because morals and ethics cannot be taught.
Have all the criminals come to the US. We welcome criminals with our open border policies. We will provide free money, health care, food, transportation, phones and housing. Just come across the open border. Bring all your friends ,guns and drugs. The Democrats
Have changed the laws here to accommodate you. If you get caught killing or selling drugs, don’t worry we have a revolving door policy and free legal assistance.
Forget them they’re just a bunch of animals. They gave no compassion and they deserve none.
You sure they aren’t talking about Chicago
They are very BIG gang
Where the US is heading as they march into the country.
The human rights groups will start now…..ohhh noooo ! 😪😪😪 poor criminals !! how about their human rights? Poor Maras, poor criminals! They need to be protected …
The murder rate in El Salvador is 5X to 10X higher than the USA. Their strict gun control laws are highly effective at reducing violence.
You dont need to arrest them. anyone in a gang shoot them in the back of the head cause the bullet costs less.
El Salvador should not worry… Biden & Co. will welcome all these nice guys across the border where they will happily and proficously continue undisturbed their daily activities
Geeze just lock them up and burn the prison down
Seems similar to Chicago except the government there isn’t doing anything about it.
No one is being detained at the US border stop reporting fake news. Hoping they will be? Anyone can walk in the from the southern border and they will be welcomed by the Biden Government. They will take you anywhere in the US and give you free housing tax free, free drivers licence, anything for the democrats 😉
Sharing cells with rival gangs members and eating 2 meals a day in prison are great measures taken. They might loose their hate and their extra weight for some.
Don’t worry El Salvador this is not really a big deal….. I mean this is like and everyday occurrence in Chicago.
That’s a regular weekend in chicago
The southern border is wide open folks
