More often than not, tolerating rampant crime in society is a policy choice.
After El Salvador locked up over 1% of its population (87,000 people), the murder rate collapsed from the highest in the world to one of the lowest in the Americas.
No activist judges to abuse the legal system, no human rights NGOs to effectively protect crime qua crime.
Voters handed Bukele the largest landslide in El Salvador’s democratic history with 83% of the vote and his party 58 of 60 legislative seats.
Because at some point, somebody has to say we’ve had enough of living at the mercy of the bottom 1%.
