El Salvador has become a byword for hyperviolence. Dominated by ruthless, organized gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18, the country was infamous for its sky high murder rate. El Salvador, with a population of 6.3 million, had 6,600 murders in 2015. For comparison, New York City’s highest ever murder total was 2,600, at a time when that city had a population of 7.3 million people. Rape, extortion, etc. were also pervasive in El Salvador.
If this happened in the US, it wouldn't be street thugs being put in these prisons, but Jan. 6 protestors, pro-life protestors, and eventually the unvaxxed.
How true. We watched as totalitarian governors and government bureaucrats loved imposing nonsensical mandates and restrictions on people during COVID. When people fear the government we have tyranny, when governments fear the people we have freedom.
