    I’m from El Salvador and I’m looking forward to those anti gang laws to be used against regular people in the future. Cause they will be. Just like when political opponents and people who were a bit too red started being vanished during the civil war

        I hoped the /s was obvious. I hate that they had to do it, because it will bite them in the ass for sure. So will this president who gambles on crypto and who is pro Putin.

          I caught the /s.

          I was wondering about this because I understood (perhaps incorrectly) that these powers only exist during the state of emergency. Once it’s declared over, it’s no longer possible?

          Of course you’re right, there is already overreaching happening. Since you live there, let me ask you, how do you feel safety wise?

          For instance here in Nicaragua, it’s extremely safe. Violence is basically non-existent (especially coming from Los Angeles where violence is rampant). But of course the government is what it is. So is the trade off worth it?
