As forums say... making all drugs legal, then rounding up the remaining
street thugs, worldwide, eventually.


El Salvador Sends Thousands Of Tattooed Gang Members To Mega-Prison

Government authorities in El Salvador are circulating some surreal
images in order to prove to the nation and the world that they are
cleaning up crime in a country that's currently under a state of
emergency due to rampant murders and violent crime.

President Nayib Bukele has recently declared a "war on crime" and his
message to gangs came in the form of publicizing 'shocking' video
footage showing some 2,000 suspected gang members being huddled into a
newly opened large prison using military tactics. Tens of thousands
more suspected criminals have reportedly been rounded up. Watch below:

    Seems like “lock up all the guys with gang tattoos all over their
bodies and throw away the key” was pretty low-hanging fruit?

The footage has been met with some controversy, given there are
allegations that innocent men may have been caught in the broad
anti-gang dragnet.

Additionally, the police appear to be utilizing military prison
tactics not seen since post 9/11 Gitmo images. According to
international reports:

    President Bukele tweeted that the first 2,000 people were
transferred "at dawn, in a single operation" to the Center for the
Confinement of Terrorism, which he says is the largest jail in the
Americas.

    "This will be their new house, where they will live for decades,
all mixed, unable to do any further harm to the population."

Once widely dubbed the "homicide capital of the world" - authorities
in recent years thought they had it under control, but murders spiked
over the past year.

This caused President Nayib Bukele to declared a state of emergency
eight months ago, and police went 'gloves off' in attempting to clear
the streets of gangs.
