Could the right leader in Mexico, with the help of the USA, crush the drug cartels in the same manner?
Nothing wrong with six wives. Poor bastard................
His father Armando Bukele Kattán converted from Christianity to Islam in the 1980s and founded five mosques during his lifetime, including the first mosque in El Salvador in 1992..........

the old man sounds like an exception to the rule... Palestinians in general are parasite. leech on to others and survive on what others have built...like some other race. demonstrated clearly on where they have lived. How much advancement in the West bank in the last 50 years?
We have the worst gangs of all. They’re mostly in DC on capital hill.
Complete removal of constitutional/civil rights/liberty protections.
However, in this case, it appears to have been used for the benefit of the society as a whole. I don’t know how much government corruption there is there, but the methodology is probably the only thing that could possibly have been effective against that level of anarchy. How much are law-abiding citizens rights/liberties being infringed?
We always like to say that it’s never good to give up your rights in favor of safety/security, but if you lived in El Salvador, I would imagine you might feel differently.
How El Salvador Army DESTROYED Their Brutal Gangs
The cartels are a far bigger problem and won’t be defeated as easily.
bkmk El Salvador
Bukele himself is a Christian.
The gangs previously controlled the country. Judges, cops, prison guards did not dare confront them, they know where you live and where your kids go to school… and politicians were in league with them. Over the years they had killed over a hundred thousand people in a country the size of New Jersey. More than the previous civil war.
So beating them took several steps. First, winning a substantial majority in congress. Second, getting a state of emergency passed through Congress which established the gangs as terrorist organizations; mere membership would get you from 20 years to life. He replaced many judges and threatened the rest with arrest if they protected the gangs. They built a prison specifically for the gangs which isolated them from the outside world, so they couldn’t threaten anyone from inside. And then they just rounded them up.
We have too many squishy people in the US to suspend the Constitution in order to stop the violence.
It's definitely doable. We did it in my old north Houston neighborhood with very little help from the law. It takes cooperation from the property owners. But, on a big scale, you will have too many people who will passively support gang activity. This is what makes it hard.
