For a long time, we locked up people on drug offenses related to personal use with no articulable victim. That has been a complete waste of time, resources, life and liberty. On the other hand, we have a massive number of murderers and rapists who already had violent priors on their records at the time they were arrested. That's only possible when the state lets violent offenders walk. If we had to build a dozen prisons of this size to lock up violent offenders, it'd be worth it. The people who suffer the most from violent thieves, rapists, and murders are the poor. I'm well off. I live in a rich area and in a nice neighborhood. Playing catch and release with violent offenders doesn't affect me at all. There's virtually no crime here. On the other hand, it sure does affect the people living in poor neighborhoods who are scared on their own streets and the kids who have to wade through it every day walking to school.

SOMEONE had to do something. I've heard stories from a young Salvadorian mother that has been going to El Salvador and says that everyone feels so safe to walk around and finally have a life. Although, she also says that she knows someone that is locked up there that doesn't have no gang ties. From the sound of it, it's a small percentage. Sucks to be them. If the benefits outweigh the negative, then, it's for the best. Criminals like that are nit just going to one day wake up with a MORAL COMPASS and say, "Hey! I'm going to stop being a habitual, ignorant, arrogant criminal and start am honest living.". That's wishful thinking, especially when criminals like these are holding towns and countries hostage.

[@byronthomas1726]

You are correct. I know El Salvador well and the problem with the gangs was not only making the country the murder capital of the world but also it was ungovernable pre-Bukele. Yes there is a trade off but I can say with certainty most of the population is behind it. People were going to suffer no matter what but far less people are suffering in comparison. There was no good option this is truly the perfect example of the lesser of 2 evils when there truly are only 2 options. The gangs in control or the government. That's what I would say to human rights groups living comfortably in the west.

[@botsareeverywhere]

It’s unfortunate that innocent people get caught up in the war against gangs, but it’s a war, innocent people get hurt in war. What else are they supposed to do? I’d like the “human rights activists” ti give a better alternative.

Sure, except for the innocents that have also been caught up in this. One source is saying the authorities themselves have acknowledged 6000 wrongful imprisonments and one organization is claiming there to still be over 14000 people who havent actually been connected to a gang. This is according to an article found on el pias. Then there is the innocent foreigners that have been caught per an article on the guardian.

It's not like he's not willing to compromise. It's a pretty fair offer. Ball is on your court. Also 90% of people in his country are in support of what he's doing he doesn't care about what outsiders are saying. When asked about human rights concerns about imprisoned population he told them he have no time to think about what criminals need he's all focused on developing his country and restore human rights to those who's human rights were taken by gangs for more than 4 decades

Because NBC and Telemundo have a deep hatred for the Bukele administration so this was just a filler story to combat his recent unprecedented electoral win - especially since Bukele announced today he would be speaking along with President Trump at a large convention of conservatives to be held in DC next month. The media has spent all this time trying to paint Bukele as a dictator - the idea of a Latin American country embracing capitalism, conservatism, personal and social responsibility - these are direct threats to the electoral power that the Left wants in the US via mass migration.
