All these gangs are a blight on the good people of El Salvador. I wouldn’t hate them so much if they just kept the violence to their active members, but the little pissants want to kill people who no longer even want any part of their stupid shit. When they are caught killing people, they should be immediately put to death. That would eventually remove all the active ones and make El Salvador safe again.

You’re a moron! You actually think that Salvadoran is a race? Mexico is a 3rd world country, just take a look at the number of Mexicans fleeing their country, immigrating to the U.S. seeking a better quality of life. You’re just an ignorant f*ck! Anyway, El Salvador doesn’t know how to deal with critical problems, in this case gangs. El Salvador, like most of Latin America, has always had a corrupt and inept government.

no this is because of the drug money that comes from the US. It causes hell in all of these nations south of the border. Either legalize the manufacture of drugs and control its distribution. Then only illegal distribution within the US will be the only drug crime (like guns without a license) – this will keep central america out of war. Either that or do what Saudi Arabia does to drug peddlers. Kill em.

you really havent travelled the world have you? from uk to africa to brazil, there are gangs and people that are heavily influenced by rap music an this is one of those cases. They are trying to reinact the whole gang culture scene in la hence the tatoos and street names.

not really man, doesnt have much to do with rap music. gangs in el salvador have a long history, the gangs are basically a result of the government oppression and civil war. but unfortunately, there isnt such a level of education that there is in say…england or america or any other non third world country. so instead of handling it properly they deal in drugs and weapons and basically kill each other. its how they’ve grown up.
