Bukele's war on gangs is credited with slashing homicide rates while restoring security and dignity to citizens of what was once one of the world's most dangerous countries. There is no sign of Bukele's crackdown coming to an end any time soon. The president, who describes himself as the 'world's coolest dictator', appears to have swept to victory in last weekend's election, so far winning 83 percent of the vote. His war on El Salvador's gangs is cited as a major reason behind his popularity.

There you have it my friends. Like Rudy he doesn't mess around. Pinochet did the same. Trump couldn't get away with it.

So what's the prognosis with us ASSUMING we'll win?

Dark side? There is no dark side. He threw the scum in prison. Murders dropped a staggering NINETY PERCENT and the country is booming. He won the election - by all accounts free and fair - with over 80% of the vote. When’s the last time you ever heard of anybody legitimately winning an election by that kind of margin? The people overwhelmingly approve of what he’s done.

El Salvatore will actually will need to try and execute the prisoners. He is sitting on an army of goths and vandals a true killing machine.

They will be freed either by internal rot or by a outside group with an agenda.

It will be the only way to ensure his country’s safety.

Absolutely.

Warehousing prisoners is a mistake, except for minor crimes. Violent people and gang members should be executed. Not just in El Salvador.

He can give the criminals in prison, fentanyl. Let them voluntarily commit suicide. Afterwards, take the cadavers and feed it to the pigs. The circle of life. /spit

There are two paths for these men. One path leads to death and one leads to life for eternity.

There is a reason that the gospel is seen as a threat to the elites.

Only Christ can change a heart. It shows the powerless elites who is in charge of eternity.

Article accuses the government roundup of grabbing some innocents along with the gang members.

It will get sorted out over time.

The long-term problem is what to do with the underclass from which the criminals come.

Bukele freed the country. The country was ruled by gangsters and politicians in league with the gangsters. There was no freedom, no “human rights”, no democracy.

There is now.

The oligarchs in this country hate him because he has shown that if you are overrun with crime, it’s because you tolerate it, and your institutions protect it.

According to one poll I saw, Bukele has an astounding 89% approval rating. The only people complaining are the usual communists in the UN and leeches running leftist NGOs.
