Easy to think like this when your country isn't getting torn apart by gang violence. Especially when each gang is pretty much its own standing army. I say, props to them. Deal with these clowns so innocent people can live their lives and better their country.

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.

No doubt on that. Sucks that it has to be done, but some people really can't be reasoned with. On top of that, you can make an argument that these gangs are a national security threat, rather than just a criminal one. Human rights violations are a guarantee here, but gotta pick your poison I guess.

To clarify we are picking our poison between the poison of unnecessary sleep deprived territorial violence, and the spending 25% more on bed space
