Who knew throwing all the gangbangers in prison would help crime?

Well done! I seem to remember someone putting out an article about how they were concerned over his methods. Same with the president of Rwanda. I guess locking up criminals pays.

It's almost like incarcerating criminals helps society at large and letting them wander around on the streets uncharged does the opposite. Weird.

Haha. Reminds me of a joke.

I'm sorry sir, we're closed.
But doesn't your sign say 24-hours?
Yes... but we never said 24 in a row.

Same deal here. That's 365 murder-free days total, not in a row.

That's why the headline says "accumulated".

Fair enough, it's just kind of a weak cause for celebration.

Still, I suppose it's decent progress considering how bad it was before.

It is a weird way of looking at it. The underlying statistics are still impressive though. They dropped the murder rate by an order of magnitude over four years.

They dropped the murder rate by an order of magnitude over four years.

Imagine the progress if they used more accumulated figures.

If that poor ass country can lock up all of it’s niggers, we can lock up ours. All 40 million of them. Let’s go.

New game show: Reparation Island, whoever manages to build a boat and cross the ocean gets all the reparations.

When do you reckon the CIA will stage a coup against him? Can't have a central American country doing well, we need the refugees to undermine white supremacy in the US.

Typo.

"El Salvador has accumulated a record 365 days without killing its president. Sad."

I'm curious to see how long it will last. The root of the problem is because of no jobs a d low wages. Let's see if he is able to fix the root of the problem
