    It seems that the only countries that seem to be getting a handle on things in south America are the ones where they round up and imprison everyone remotely connected to the gangs… face tats… off to prison.

        Check elsalvador. And now other countries are ramping up their approach. Building massive remote prisons for gang members, waves of arrests, no contact policies for prisoners… it’s incredibly harsh… but in El Salvador it’s working.

      Which ones have successfully eradicated the drug trafficking culture in their countries? Mexico and Columbia have always been the traditional ones. Not sure how big drug industry is elsewhere.

          Interesting. Cops are corrupt in Mexico that’s why they’re using troops. Can they make troops cops too?
