I just watched a video this morning on YouTube about the chaos in Ecuador. The drug gangs affiliated with the Mexican cartels are reeking havoc throughout that country. There are riots at many of the countries prisons. They have had to bring the Army in to help because the police are overwelmend.

I recall after the Great Recession there were quite a few Americans and others that moved to Ecuador. It was featured several times on House Hunters International. Lots of gringos moved there to the pacific coastal towns because you could buy an oceanfront condo for $150K or less.

States had militias back in 1776.

If I lived in a big white house in DC, I’d be a bit more careful about letting young men of gang age enter the US.

Oh, so the Ecuadoreans trying to maintain civil order are using the military. Nazis! [/sarc]
