Recently, I was listening to Nayib Bukele speaking about human rights. He was saying the number one human right is the right to life, which we all have. Obviously, if one is dead all other human rights are invalidated. Even prisoners, if alive, are experiencing that right. However, we never hear much about the victims of those prisoners like gang members that were released from prison and retaliated against former victims, or police who imprisoned them. I suppose mainstream media only covers what is part of their political agenda.
Bukele mentioned a lady who had no hands because a gang had cut them off, but she still made chocolate bars to subsist with the remaining part of the appendages. Yes, this is a real person that hardly no-one knows. However, almost everyone knows about a gang member that Senator Van Holen wants to get out of prison in El Salvador while using taxpayer dollars to fund his trip. I bet the Senator doesn't know much about the victims of that gang members gang, if one asked him.
In closing, the type of empathy the media and that Senator have is a bit strange. Would you agree? Thanks for reading!
