Just to clarify I don’t judge them for this tactic. I am not informed enough about any of it. I was saying from a human rights perspective this could at best be judged problematic. But what the cartels are doing to their country is arguably (almost certainly) worse so this tactic is probably the only option to contain the violence. It makes sense on from a macro perspective but to be caught in there would be a nightmare.

Oh I think this a human rights atrocity. I am not familiar enough with the situation to declare my takes as factual or one that should be used as evidence. It seems like this is a death trap. There will be a lot of violence. This is the kind of stuff nightmares are made of. I don’t know if everyone in there is evil but some will witness it, some will be victims of it, and some will become it. If I were in there I’d find the fastest way to kill myself.

According to the article it was built as part of a “war on gangs” that is given political authority by a state of emergency called last march. The prison is neither state of the art nor does it look expensive. This is 8 cement buildings with large rooms that have 2 toilets and showers for 100 prisoners and 80 beds for 100 prisoners. This is arm chair conjecture but it seems like the operation to move the prisoners here which included helicopters and a lot of coordination was nearly as expensive as the building. It appears this was spearheaded and ordered by the president and his cabinet who is hoping to get the cartel violence under control and ran on that agenda.

The cynic in me expects the cartels will buy off or extort the guards eventually unless they maintain anonymity and have thorough security measures. I feel like these are going to turn into murder holes at the very least as these conditions do not help with violent tendencies.

Are you saying this is a trait specific to men or just humanity? Establishing a motive is necessary to prosecute and prevent crime, or am I wrong? It feels pretty fundamental to discussing crime and why it happened.

That makes the analogy even more interesting. And makes my description of Homelander and his motives inaccurate. Thanks for the correction.

I believe Ronaldo has been critical of the team he plays for and the coach. More specifically I think he has been openly somewhat narcissistic and saying he’s not being treated as well as he should be because he’s such a top talent. The scene here is Ronaldo’s face over Homelander from the series The Boys in a scene where Homelander starts to say similar things and is cheered on by the crowds for being honest. I do not follow Football but that would be my uneducated read, someone who knows more could maybe offer more context into both sides.

Edit: I mischaracterized Homelander’s motives and actions. See comment below.
