[quote=Anonymous]El Salvador’s president since 2019, Nayib Bukele, calls himself “the world’s coolest dictator” and an “instrument and an “instrument of god”.   El Salvador has always had problems with corruption and gangs.

In 2021 he removed the Artorney General and judges and replaced them with loyalists who would loosen their checks and balance system and change their constitution so that he could run for office two in a row which was formally prohibited.

Bukele tackled a main problem in El Salvador gang violence.

In March 2022, he declared a state of emergency after a weekend of gang violence where 87 people were murdered. Bukele used this state of emergency to suspend certain liberties, such as due process and has engaged in mass arrests. Since then, over 70,000 suspected gang members have been arrested, sometimes for just looking suspicious or having tattoos. His actions have produced the most relentless crackdown in El Salvador’s history. Of course, this caught the attention of human rights groups who believe he is arbitrarily detaining many Salvadorians.

Sound familiar??  Of course we don’t have that type of gang violence, it’s a much smaller scale and the majority of gangs are American.  The projects in New York, Boston, LA, Chicago, and smaller cities in the South still have gang violence and are still responsible for many of the murders.  [/quote]
