Btw, how do you end gang violence without guns? They have: 38spl revolvers, .357mag revolvers, .380acp pistols, 9mm pistols, .40&w, .45acp pistols, 12ga shotguns, 5.56 NATO automatics. rifles, 7.62 NATO automatic rifles, 5.45 automatic rifles, 7.62x39 automatic rifles, .50bmg(Yes, the high-powered shit meant for armored vehicles), grenades, and all kinds of explosives (ranging from improvised to military grade). Comando Vermelho is the most violent faction in Brazil by far. Their headquarters are located in Rio de Janeiro, but they also operate in the northeast. Growing up, I heard all these gunfights with rival gangs and police because I lived in a neighborhood close to one of the largest favelas that is run by them. They employ the same tactics ISIS does. How do you fight men that like to burn, behead, and quarter people without guns? Keep in mind that they don't fight for equality, justice, and all that jazz. They want to take territory from the government. Their origins date back to the communist guerrilla fighters that we had in the 60s. They still have the insurgent mentality of conquering territory. They control the internet, electricity, water, gas, gasoline, cigarettes, drugs, and trade of all kinds of stolen goods in the neighborhoods they occupy. They also extort people that live under them, of course. How do you deal with such a threat without military intervention (aka guns)? The government isn't doing anything because of ideological reasons. Lula, Dilma, and all the judges appointed by them for the supreme court seats are ideologically aligned with this (and other) narcoterrorist organizations in Brazil. In light of all this, do you think Jair Bolsonaro got a fair trial? Jair is going to be murdered. These people also use the "defense of democracy" and "fight against capitalism" to justify all these crimes against humanity. Do you get it now why I said you do an apologism for terrorism? Because this is the reality of the left-wing movement in Latin America: they are the organized crime. Bukele saved El Salvador from the very same fate. The first thing he did was arrest all the Supreme Court crooks and then jail all these terrorists. You might have good intentions, but remember those also lead to hell, my friend. You think your words are saving people; they are not. They are silencing the victims of terrorism. I don't need you to believe me. Just do some introspection: Are you really sure you are on the good side here?
