Hate to link to Tik Tok but its the best video I can find on it. I hesitate to post it because I’m afraid Amazona will decide to move to El Salvador just so she can have a President who is clear, concise and doesn’t play stupid games with the overall Left. Go ahead and watch it, though – because President Bukele makes a point which is blazingly obvious but has remained unmentioned for decades as the Left has destroyed the world:

Sure, we all have rights. Even the very worst of us do…but everyone has rights. Everyone. Do you understand? Every last person on Earth has human rights…included in these rights are the rights to not be beheaded, raped, beaten and robbed by criminal gangs. Bukele is just a man who looked at the situation and arrived at the only possible conclusion: rights are being violated all to heck and gone in El Salvador and I must do everything I can to ensure the maximization of secured rights…and this meant rounding up every person he could find who had a gang tattoo or other obvious marker for being a criminal.

Sure, he almost certainly swept up some who didn’t need to be taken in – on the other hand, you don’t get a gang tattoo by accident. You get it for the very specific purpose of letting everyone know you’re in the gang, with all that entails. The main thing is that it was the only way to get it done – to turn El Salvador from a happy hunting ground for murders into a peaceful, free place where families can go out at night with zero fear. And it was an operation of law – it was, indeed, law in its purest form.

We are an over-lawyered society and so we tend to equate law with lawyer. We watch our tense, courtroom dramas and think that is law. It isn’t. It is a means of achieving law. And for the most part, it works very well. But not always. In El Salvador, under the old regime, the first thing a gangster would do when arrested was squeal like a stuck pig about his “rights”. And then the lawyers would swoop in, funded by drug money, to tie things up in knots and if that didn’t do the trick, just bribe and/or intimidate the cops and judges. It was downright impossible to punish anyone who was in a gang – and they ran wild. And don’t just think it happens in El Salvador – our own judiciary is corrupted. I am confident that some of it is bribery and intimidation, but most of the corruption is political…that is, huge swaths of our justice system are in the hands of people who are in it to protect the Left and harm the Right, as well as to harm America and our civilization at every turn. You think a man arrested 20 times for violent crimes is let out by accident? No. The judge who released him to go stab a girl on a bus did so on purpose – with the full intent that the violent criminal would go and do something horrible…go out, in the Leftist judge’s mind, and punish AmeriKKKa for its racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

The law isn’t there to make sure forms are filled out correctly – that your warrant is perfect. That your evidence is collected properly. It is there to ensure, as far as imperfect humans can, that justice is achieved. That, in the main, people are able to live their lives as they see fit, under no threat from others and able to retain the fruits of their labor. We have the forms and the warrants and the evidence collection procedures in place to ensure, as far as possible, that everything is on the level and everyone gets a fair shake. But while all that is going on, the primary purpose must be kept in mind: I should be able to walk down the poorest street in the city in middle of the night, tipsy after a few drinks with a hundred dollar bill sticking out of my pocket and make it safely to my destination 9,999 out of 10,000 times. We shouldn’t have to lock our doors. We shouldn’t have to get a concealed carry permit. We shouldn’t have to spend money on burglar alarms. A murder or armed robbery should be a shocking rarity which rates blazing headlines in the news. That is law. That is what law is for. And if they say we have law but murder, assault and robbery are common enough that you’re taking defensive measures against them, then you don’t have law. You have anarchy.

To be sure, “round ’em all up and sort ’em out later” must never become the norm. On the other hand, the intense levels of criminality we see in certain parts of the USA must never be the norm, either. Abnormal circumstances require abnormal actions. You do what you have to do to secure justice…to ensure that you live in a lawful society. And I do believe we’re getting to the point where we here in the USA will have to take a page out of Bukele’s book. Trump is doing a fantastic job – and in spite of critics, I think Bondi and Patel are doing well, too. This is our last chance to just use the regular tools…but we’re already seeing signs that it might not be enough. Mostly in things like that Luigi character having the death penalty taken off the table via suppression of evidence by a clearly Leftist judge. Also when we see juries in Left areas simply not convicting obviously guilty Leftists. On and on like that – but we can’t live in a society which has a host of lawyers, judges and cops but no law.

The securing of human rights is not a theory – it is the purpose of government. It is, as our sublime Declaration states, the reason why governments are instituted among people. If I can’t be safe and free and in possession of my property, then what purpose is the government? How is there law if I can lose my life and property on a whim? There isn’t. And if making sure I can hold my life and property means that those who would take both need to be treated harshly, then so be it – the criminal does not lose his rights, but by the abuse of his free will he compels us to restrain him…and in doing that, we can’t be too fussy about whether or not every form was filled out just right.
