Earlier, the confirmed death toll had stood at 30 but regional police commander Fausto Buenaño said bodies found in the prison’s pipelines were still being identified.

The culprits should be jailed!
"Pipeline", by California surf rock group The Chantays, in 1962 became an instant hit reaching the #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in and is considered one of the landmarks of the surf genre. The original title before release was dubbed "Liberty's Whip" and was in reference to the whip that a nasty character, named Liberty Valance, used in the 1962 movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". But, The Chantays being a instrumental surf rock group, decided it fit better to the Banzai Pipeline surf reef break in Hawaii in a movie they once saw. Its distinctive sound was due to an "upside down" instrument technique that gave the music its unique haunting effect.The Chantays, from Santa Ana, California, have been honored for their contributions to music including induction into the R&R Hall of Fame, and their song "Pipeline", is noted as one of the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock & Roll. It has been covered and recorded by a large number of other musicians as well.

Could they set up regular weekly events like this?

“the whip that a nasty character, named Liberty Valance”

Technically a “quirt” iirc.

“Col. Mario Pazmiño, the former director of Ecuador’s military intelligence, said the bloody fighting shows that “transnational organized crime has permeated the structure” of Ecuador’s prison system, adding that Mexico’s Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels operated through local gangs”.

Build the wall.

"Who cares?"

Winners of the turf war get a free bus ride to the Rio Grande, paid for by a NGO's?

I hope they’ve all been vaccinated and were wearing their masks.

Ecuador is a wonderful place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to spend time in their prisons.

Coming in at #2 for the year of 1962 is Acker Bilk and "Stranger at the Shore"

Gently run your mouse over Mr Bilk's horn and click to hear this wonderful tune once again!

Build another COLISEUM! Just like in Rome. Let them fight for their freedom. Bullfighting is going the way of the Edsel. This is a good alternative. Better than soccer!

We should because this ultimately arrives at our doorstep as a destabilizing agent when judges, prosecutors, and witnesses are killed. It has already started to some degree.

This is why the Hondurans and El Salvadorians fled.

Except they'll probably be voting in our next election.
