How about that little thing back in November 21 where gang fights took out 30 people in 2 days? Pres had to deploy military to the streets.

What you got against bananas? Or are you eluding to some banana republic narrative?

The latter. Been to lots of them, haven't met one I need to see again.
Yikes, hopefully it didn't involve any clandestine bananas in pants trick
You should def check out Queensland, AU/Thailand/Vietnam...and fall back in love with that sweet sweet potassium.
He clearly doesn't know how to pull up the facts, and is interpreting a lack of results as proof that he's right, which isn't even close to reality.
Or he is just having fun with us.
Umm. I know you’re not new here.
And this is Peggy we’re talking about.
So. Yeah. There’s that.

Oh c'mon man not even my Grandma remembers that. You should feel ashamed of yourself reviving a 18-year-old post at a time when I was barely 20 years old.Another tale to keep everyone's attention by the guy that gave us axel stiks.
Bike Mechanics 101 With Pegassus (For Noobs)
- Never mind the hogwash of buying "stands" worth hundreds of bucks and special lifting devices to work on your bikes, I have picked up a few things I have taught myself. I had not "maintained" my bike for at least 14 months, the battery was water-less, the chain had initiations of what looked...

Jesus Christ you are kidding me right? Driftwood ave and Jane/Finch? I would never walk there alone at night, or unarmed. You went to San Salvador 4 years ago, before Bukele became president, you should walk there now. I was with my wife and 4 kids walking all over the city until 4 am one time they had a carnival. Nothing happened, not even the drunks had fights, try that in Caribana or a rock festival here in Ontario. El Salvador's crime rate is the same as France's. Check it out.

And out of the 82 murders about 75 of them were of husbands shooting dead their wives. That's a big difference than Toronto murders which are truly crimes of public violence and crime.I think you need to do better research...
Here is one from El Mundo BTW celebrating 54 years of news reporting in El Salvador
Enero cerró con 82 homicidios en el país
El primer mes del 2022 cerró con 82 homicidios según las estadísticas de la Policía Nacional Civil (PNC) y el ministro de la Defensa, René Merino Monroy, quien confirmó la...diario.elmundo.sv
Post on Feb 2, 2022, basically states there was 82 murders in January. It's going in the right direction, but that is almost the entire amount of murders in 1 month for all of 2020 in Toronto.
There is a nice info graphic show the amount of deaths per day in January. No Spanish required!
Here's another source from La Prensa, apparently been around since 1915, posted Today!
Pandilleros a prisión por doble homicidio en río Acelhuate
Tres pandilleros de la 18-R fueron enviados a prisión provisional mientras dure la investigación del asesinato de dos jóvenes.www.laprensagrafica.com
2 youth group works where basically forced, or abducted by gang members and murdered and their bodies were dismember
Reported missing Jan 17th and body parts recovered around Jan 19th. Victims didn't have connections to gangs.
Stuff like this doesn't happen in Toronto
Here is another good one La Prensa posted yesterday!
Encuentran cuerpo semienterrado en Lourdes
La víctima no pudo ser identificada porque no portaba documentos.
Basically a what they call a detached body, probably decapitated, but some form of dismemberment.
Also La Prensa also posted Today!
Delincuentes armados lesionan a una persona en la comunidad Nuevo Israel
La PNC informó que una persona resultó lesionada luego de sufrir un ataque la noche del pasado miércoles.
Criminals attack someone Wednesday night. They survived
February doesn't look like it's off to a great start.
Also 82 is for the entire country, not 1 city. Chicago had more than that. Can you show me statistics of armed robberies and car thefts of Toronto compared to all of El Salvador? I noticed that all of you ignore my request. I can guarantee you that Toronto's armed robbery rate is about 3x times that of El Salvador.
Good to see that your arithmetic has improved over all those years.
How tf can we forget it?
List of countries by intentional homicide rate - Wikipedia
Canada is 1.8.
You're kidding yourself if you believe these stats you're digging up from wherever, Peggy.

Care to share your references showing husbands killing wives? And how does that even make it less worse??
Ahh nevermind, let the facts speak for themselves
Confirman hallazgo de 26 cuerpos en fosa de Nuevo Cuscatlán
El ministro de Seguridad y Justicia confirmó que encontraron otros 23 cuerpos en la fosa, que se suman a los de los hermanos Guerrero Toledo y la futbolista Jimena Ramírez.

Posted on Feb 4th, states they found 26 bodies in Nuevo Cuscatlan... GUESS what this is just outside San Salvador!!!
Comparable to Stouville to Toronto..
Also mentioned some of them were soccer players, which were missing in Dec 2021!
26 Bodies not enough evidence for you to know the difference between extreme violent crimes??
Wait there is more

Feb 4th, these guys were responsible for killing a nurse and a uber driver.
So what do we have for the first few days in February, including the stuff I posted earlier.
Mass graves, dismembered bodies, killing nurse, soccer players, more dismembered bodies all within a couple of weeks, lets just round that up to a month.
Have we even seen anything close to this kind of violence in Toronto for the same time peroid or even the past year!?
But yeah the armed robbery rate in Toronto is the problem, not the amount of dead people in El Salvador...

I second that. Let everyone live their own dream. And it’s only truth if you believe in it, right?
No I'm not kidding you. I was with you but you seem to be on some weird ass tangent. And you seem to be missing the subtle art of building consensus man.
El Salvador is pretty bad place for most people due to politics/economics/corruption, hence the amount of people wanting to get the fk out of there. There's nothing else more to it. Is that the only facet to it? No, there is humanity and beauty there too, but it comes with a certain amount of risk and you're downplaying that risk.
Just to give another perspective on El Salvador, I have been here for the past couple weeks.
While it definitely has problems, it is a country on the upswing. Not sure I would compare safety to any 1st world country, but it certainly doesn’t feel dangerous. I have wandered around the nice parts of San Salvador at night and never felt an ounce of danger. Saying that, there are parts of San Salvador that I was explicitly told not to go to at anytime of day. It definitely feels safer than Guatemala that I was in beforehand.
All of the locals I have spoken to seem to agree that everything is getting better rapidly, a lot of the highways have brand new pavement, safety is rapidly improving, and they are proud of El Salvador. Almost every conversation includes a request to tell people back home how amazing El Salvador is. The people are truly warm, caring, and lovely. For example, I got hammered at a bar with some locals in Juayua (small colonial town that attracts some tourists), couldn’t get into my hostel at 2am, was invited to sleep at one of the locals’ house. We drank many more of his beers, and he made me breakfast in the morning. Refused to take any money.
As for the president, there isn’t unanimous love for him. People like the changes that are happening in the country, but are wary about his love of Bitcoin and constant antagonizing of the west (check his Twitter). None of the locals I have spoken to use Bitcoin and view it as a gimmick to attract foreigners. Very few Bitcoin signs in San Salvador or Santa Ana (2nd biggest city), lots of Bitcoin signs at the beaches that are full of tourists. Personal opinion, not sure if an influx of cryptobros will be good for the country. I have had way too many conversations with cryptobros here that are thinking of moving because El Salvador doesn’t tax crypto, says F U to the rest of the world, and are the general type that don’t fit into normal society. The money they bring would be positive, but not sure if the personalities would be beneficial for the country.
Example, no idea how this would work in the real world
