Americans can look to El Salvador as an example of good governance and public safety!
Quote:
After a sudden spike in homicides in March 2022, which resulted in 87 deaths over a weekend, President Nayib Bukele cracked down hard.With the strong backing of Salvadorans (over 90% of them approving), he expanded the capabilities of law enforcement and empowered them to detain gang members for immediate processing.
Within a month, Bukele’s language became more firm: “There are rumors that gang members want to start taking revenge on random honest people. If they do that, there won’t even be one meal in prisons. I swear to God, they won’t eat a grain of rice, and let’s see how long they last.”
Salvadorans applauded. Safety returned to the streets. The nation dropped from the most dangerous in the world to the safest in the Americas.
Read it all and applaud:
