Inside El Salvador's Mega Prisons, Gang Violence & Organized Crime Crackdown | Borderland #4

[@StayHardened]

As a Salvadoran, I find it pretty funny how these pundits are so quick to criticize and place little emphasis on just how much the quality of life has improved for the citizens of El Salvador. The critique is fair, but to let the critique overshadow the massive win for innocent citizens is very naive.

[@villaniousmustache4898]

They're stupid people who understand very little of how the world works

[@jimmyjones2901]

I wonder what endgame is for the gang affiliates. Will they be released? If not, liquidate?

[@StayHardened]

@Reality_C... the way to change this is to have these MS-13 members be their neighbors for a year... we'll see if they still think these gangsters deserve to be treated like normal members of society

[@choncha23]

I have family in El Salvador. My Tia is selling tortas and small appetizers at the park freely. She seems happy about the round up of gang members. People are in peace right now. Those criminals don’t deserve rights. Seeing the country now it paints a picture.

I grew up in a dangerous city in Commiefornia. Gangs ruined a beautiful historic place. They had little excuse for bieing extremely violent. Preaching love for family, hood, ect., but went out and murdered migrant field workers mirror image of their parents and grand parents. America does not need to do such extreme measures, all we need is to enforce the pile of repetitious laws already written, Obey our Constitution. This potato government has violated every major law, in a very biased and injust way. But decriminalising crimes goes way back, as leftist polititians coddle criminals, a generation has grown up with little consequence.

[@WhitePony556]

How will you enforce these laws as you say? When you’re not willing to take an iron first approach and lock them up the same way El Salvador did? People would cry and say it’s extreme just the same way they’re crying about El Salvador 🇸🇻. “Extreme measures” means Americans don’t yet have the courage to do the same, and so long as you don’t then you will reap the rewards that a soft hand approach sows.

[@omarrromarrr4922]

It works; PERIOD. Where do these two live? Obviously not in El Salvador. Jail is the consequence punishment for your bad actions; its not supposed to be a joyful getaway. Those animals, (the gang members), never cared for their dismembered victims and the emotional damage their relatives still endure to these days. The Hell with them.

[@trentmoline4097]

I'm sorry but prison is not supposed to be a vacation. That's what's wrong with the US

[@Fiddlefaddle115]

I both admire and hate the idea of emergency power being used like this.

[@top6ear]

Trudeau tried it but stopped... yes it was nothing compared to this.

[@FiglioBastardo]

​@@top6earTrudy couldn't do anything like this even if he weren't Castro's illegitimate son.

[@davinxi5926]

Marshall law was declared in the Egypt, Phillipines

[@Ghostfancoder]

A friend of mine went down to El Salvador on vacation and was detained for 3 days because he had tattoos on his arm. He even made the newspapers which stated he is a member of MS13. Btw he works in information technology in Los Angeles

[@allendaigle1471]

Really enjoying different people's insight into the border crisis.

[@maxcullen3427]

As per amazing interview great guest as Englishman also very educational thanks Vincent 👏🏻👏🏻

[@ezrabrehm9480]

Yo first comment, I would like to mention that y’all should really consider setting up a team to run advanced ad campaigns on social media/google to reach other groups of people. 💯👌🏼

[@FiglioBastardo]

Now that's a "I'm first" comment I can support!

[@merely-man]

💯 for example, Iron clad X account has less than a thousand followers.

[@shawnnn3]

Great channel Thanks very much

[@maggietaskila8606]

Apparently the people of El Salvador are happy with the situation . This is a democracy isnt it ? Well thats the way a democravy works. The majority rules. As long as the people are happy with the policy their democracy is working .

[@calvincumn2337]

El Salvador is a different country different culture. this extreme lock up was needed. hard yes. needed yes

[@WhitePony556]

Regardless of culture or region this is what happens when there’s a war being fought against cowards who hide in plain sight.

[@maxcullen3427]

As per amazing interview great guest as Englishman also very educational thanks Vincent 👏🏻👏🏻 Grateful Britain an island tbh not too keen on wales Scottish but they seem friendlier

[@codygranrud6212]

This is a fascinating topic, and definitely something other countries should pay attention to.

[@johno3288]

Due to President Bugele, the Salvadorean people were just released from the worst of prisons. We, as humans, should care about the people, not the thugs. May the thugs rest in hell.

[@MockeyM]

Very nice - Borat

[@TherealKino8]

I found this channel and i have never seen anyone else tis accurate

[@standingroom1236]

President hit the order 66 button

[@Pan_Padre]

Amazing series. Something that is not presented in media in Europe. I will add few more words to please YT algorytm :)

[@napleswolverine7189]

I realize their mom’s care about them. Well, why didn’t they tell their sons not to be bandits? prison is not good enough for the evil ones. They need some help over the edge.👊🏻✍🏻

[@X-er_818]

Guys from v18 or MS13 didn't take the gangs as an idea or as an idea to start in El Salvador. It started because guys were getting deported back to El S. In the case of 18st it was a guy who was born there but had no ties to the country but found fellow gang members and servived by creating the 18st gang in EL S.

[@amymegginson-uz7jj]

Wonderful ❤

[@lindae7013]

For the watch 😊

[@johno3288]

Pay attention. This is how you do it. And fire all these lawyers

[@jeyselcaballero1119]

I find it interesting that the “expert”on the topic isn’t even Salvadorian but a foreigner. That makes no sense. It would make more sense to speak to someone who lived through the gang violence and the changes that Bukele has implemented. This report is definitely biased.

[@rosesoulis1840]

Look...99.9% of these guys have tats that are A BOOK...Bukele rounded them up

[@MDM0915]

Do the guests get to talk?

[@ocphur3681]

Is not whoever they want these are VIOLENT SANGUINARY GANGS Exported by USA who were killing and terrorizing the citizens there is no way he could have establish any order without his policies check out mexico

[@doublet__7417]

Wow, how these dummies could come up with the 100 percent wrong conclusions. Of course you can copy it in other countries. All it takes is the right leader and a strong will.

[@ocphur3681]

Civil societies another issue we have

[@bignoseYeu]

All fun and games until turns on the people....

[@4clover279]

Omg 😂…. I’m sorry but how is this USA problem?? Majority of these gang members are here

[@bignoseYeu]

Just careful what you ask for. Because it can be used against regular day living civilians.....

[@MrCenriquer]

You dont know what u talking about..again the internet is free for opinions

[@justastrangerB]

Somewhere in the future they will have to free all those prisoners

[@sociallypatterneddefect9580]

Free them in your neighborhood

[@justastrangerB]

what? you think they all got life sentences? @@sociallypatterneddefect9580

[@michaelcostin2384]

All thanks to Biden and Obama for all this.

[@coreyferguson1341]

Don’t start the they should do it here comments either

[@user-anc123]

Another “state of energy”Implementing an Authoritarian military/police state under the guise of fighting violent gangs and Cartels. Allow all crimes to flourish and chaos to spread like a wild fire so when they bring their solutions to fix their manufactured crisis the people will enthusiastically applaud

[@mannyeliasvillalta3244]

Why you assume the president make some accord with this gang's you where there so you know that

[@andrewbrown6522]

If you incarcerate that many people, im sure everyone else still free will say they are happy. To stay free. C'mon. You arent stupid. Drastic actions are needed but due process exists for reasons.
