Court in El Salvador sentenced 3 youths to 5 years in prison and put 5 more on probation last Thursday after video making gang signs in school dropped

So the plan is just to lock people up, or actually deal with the problem that cause it.

Because locking people up only works for so long. At some point if you really wanna stop this, you gotta address the root cause.

What is the problem that cause it? If you say poverty is the problem we need to review how many members come from squalor and how has gang life been fixing that problem.

 

[DaRealness]

Naw that "addressing the issues like poverty and lack of opportunity" rhetoric is dead now. Our youth have been volunteering to live a certain lifestyle by choice now!

We don't even have ghettos like we used too. These kids aren't growing up in squalor. They have parents who are RNs now, yet they still ganged out.

Exactly, and let's face it, a lot of the fukkery these gangs commit on innocent civilians doesn't have shyt to do with "poverty". fukk outta here. That's just the go to excuse. As usual, some people wanna make excuses all up and down and juelz for gang members with all the smart dumb rhetoric.

It reminds me of when I read Prodigy's book and he was talking about how he used to go around robbing folks when he was a kid, yet he had a rich grandmother and came from a middle class family! He admitted he just did all that shyt for fun.

You wanna join that life or associate with those who do, then you gotta take whatever comes with it.

You nikkas making excuses are similar to the people and granny making excuses for their pedo son. And continue to allow deviant behavior to be passes down generation to generation.

Bob Marley died because he wasn't willing to amputate one crusty toe that had cancer! We black people arent willing to amputate our one crusty, cancerous, toe (gangs).

Is this effective?

Yes so far.

This can only work in countries with astronomical homicide rates like El Salvador.

While it’s honestly a great deterrent it would have a completely different result in somewhere like America. It’d decimate communities and negatively impact black people the most. Imagine what red state governments would consider gang signs.

And please don't forget that El Salvador is a homogeneous society most people there are of Salvadorian descent. Here there's too much variety in race and culture that biases and dehumanizing propaganda would provide a variation in the treatment of suspects. He said in a that speech that they use the least fatal amount of force necessary to apprehend these gang members. Here we can't count on that the police are trigger happy

But we can't allow our community progress and well being to be held hostage because "well they will be heavy handed with our gang members". Who gives a fukk? We're to that point now. If you don't want to be caught up in that b.s. stay away from it. And I don't mean half ass stay away like...you personally have a job or go to school but you hang around gang members, dress like them, and speak the lingo. You're at the trap just as much as them but if the police stop you "Officer I'm not one of them, I have a job and don't sell drugs or bang". Well WHY THE FUKK you over here?

That's the part alotta nikkas don't want to give up. They want to be half way crooks!

They aren't flashing signs any more so yes.

I know that's why it's up to us to set up how we handle this issue in our communities. There's a solution to this but it requires us to come together and get buy in from the culture.

He said some real shyt here

fukk it then. His people wanted and needed this.

Trump trying to do a similar play, except he doesn’t really care if you are a criminal or not. Pulling up to schools, restaurants, etc

Show those THUGS it’s NOT a game and let their enablers cry themselves to sleep.

Use their tears to wash away the fear, dirt and blood those THUGS left on the streets terrorizing the people.

Let the message be CLEAR, so future generations won’t DARE fall back into such degeneracy instead of being productive and building a bright future.

The African Diaspora needs leaders as dedicated as Nayib Bukele to lift ppl & countries up to their unlimited potential

 

[CopiousX]

This is what america failed to do with the Confederate states . We suffer all these years later because the symbols and culture were allowed to grow.


Its to the point that folks legitimately argue in favor of literal traitors and insurrectionists in 2025

 

[Neuromancer]

And I already suggested a solution. Look up.

What was it?
