Podcast appearances and mentions of mara salvatrucha

Adentrarse en el mundo del tráfico de migrantes significa descubrir una realidad oculta entre fronteras. En este episodio de Penitencia, Alejandro revela su vida como "El Güero Fino", traficante VIP de migrantes indocumentados que cruzaba personas desde Centroamérica hacia Estados Unidos.Con una red de contactos que incluía desde expresidentes de Guatemala hasta agentes federales corruptos, Alejandro narra sin filtros cómo operaba este lucrativo negocio donde un solo viaje podía costar más de 20 mil dólares.Desde las "bodegas" donde hacinan migrantes hasta sus encuentros con carteles y la Mara Salvatrucha, Alejandro expone la corrupción sistemática en múltiples niveles gubernamentales y el trato diferenciado que ofrecía a sus "clientes", a quienes hospedaba en hoteles y trataba como turistas para evadir controles.También revela su participación involuntaria en la fuga de una poderosa figura del crimen organizado y cómo terminó detenido en México por secuestro, tras haber estado preso en Guatemala y El Salvador.Esta es una mirada descarnada a la crisis migratoria desde la perspectiva de quien la convirtió en negocio, mientras reflexiona sobre las vidas que ayudó a salvar y las que puso en peligro.Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

Amb la Mayka Navarro parlem de la Mara Salvatrucha, una banda criminal procedent d'Hondures que ha intentat arrelar-se a l'estat espanyol.

¿Qué es el Tren de Aragua? ¿Han escuchado este término? Se trata de una banda criminal transnacional que nació en Venezuela y, con el tiempo, se expandió por el continente americano. En medio de la ola de deportaciones de migrantes bajo órdenes de Donald Trump, el grupo se instaló en la conversación pública. ¿Por qué? En febrero de este año, el departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos, declaró a el Tren de Aragua como una organización terrorista. Al poco tiempo, Trump activó su plan de deportaciones y, en ese marco, grupos de venezolanos fueron trasladados a cárceles de El Salvador, acusados de ser miembros del Tren de Aragua. Luego, el gobierno estadounidense ha utilizado imágenes de estos presuntos pandilleros encadenados y con la cabeza rapada en la prisión de alta seguridad salvadoreña como prueba de su lucha contra el crimen organizado. Esto no ha estado exento de polémica: los abogados de varios de los deportados denuncian que sus clientes no pertenecen al Tren de Aragua, que no han cometido delito alguno, y que se les tomó como blanco principalmente por sus tatuajes. Más allá de esto, puede llamar la atención que se deje de hablar tanto de otras pandillas como la Mara Salvatrucha o de los carteles mexicanos y se pase a hacer tanto hincapié en este grupo venezolano. Entonces, ¿qué es el Tren de Aragua? La periodista venezolana Ronna Rísquez publicó el año pasado el libro El Tren de Aragua. La banda que revolucionó el crimen organizado en América Latina, una de las investigaciones más completas sobre este grupo. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Rísquez para conocer el origen de esta banda criminal, su expansión en el continente y entender cuál es el vínculo con las deportaciones de migrantes desde Estados Unidos.

On Saturday, the United States government transferred hundreds of noncitizens and alleged gang members to a detention facility in El Salvador, despite an order from a federal judge blocking the deportation flights. According to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, the deportees were transferred on three flights and included 238 alleged members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), as well as 23 alleged members of the street gang Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS-13). President Trump justified their removal by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798; he had previously designated the group a foreign terrorist organization infiltrating the United States. The detainees were sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador; CECOT is the largest prison facility in Central America.Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.

El gobierno estadounidense deportó este sábado a cientos de inmigrantes hispanoamericanos desafiando una orden judicial que prohíbe las deportaciones durante 14 días. Si bien en la Casa Blanca niegan haber violado la decisión judicial, varios grupos de derechos humanos se preparan para una batalla legal que podría complicar el último intento del presidente por acumular poder ejecutivo. Para realizar esta deportación a sabiendas de que un juez podía suspender las deportaciones exprés Trump echó mano de la Ley de Enemigos Extranjeros, una ley de 1798, que otorga al presidente poderes extraordinarios en tiempos de guerra para detener y expulsar a extranjeros. Esta ley sólo se ha utilizado otras tres veces en toda la historia del país: en la guerra de 1812 contra los británicos y en las dos guerras mundiales. Pero hoy Estados Unidos no está formalmente en guerra. Eso para el equipo legal de Trump no ha sido inconveniente ya que, según ellos, invocar la ley de 1798 está justificado en tanto que consideran que la banda venezolana del Tren de Aragua está invadiendo el territorio de Estados Unidos. Eso para Trump es equivalente a una guerra, razón por la cual ordenó a los departamentos de Justicia y Seguridad Nacional que detengan y expulsen a todo inmigrante venezolano mayor de 14 años que forme parte del Tren de Aragua y no sea residente permanente ni ciudadano estadounidense. Ese mismo día el juez federal del distrito de Columbia, James Boasberg, emitió una orden que prohibía durante dos semanas los vuelos de deportación. Lo hizo a petición de una demanda interpuesta por la Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles y la asociación Democracy Forward, en la que sostenían que esta medida permitiría a Trump expulsar a cualquier hispanoamericano que resida ilegalmente en Estados Unidos. Pero dos aviones con inmigrantes ya volaban en esos momentos hacia El Salvador cuando Boasberg tomó su decisión. No se arredró y emitió una orden verbal para que regresaran de inmediato. Pero los aviones no lo hicieron y tomaron tierra en su destino. El Departamento de Justicia, entretanto, recurrió la orden de Boasberg y desde la Casa Blanca se han ofrecido justificaciones de todo tipo para explicar por qué no se acató la orden del juez. La secretaria de prensa de la Casa Blanca, Karoline Leavitt, fue tajante al respecto. Compareció por televisión el lunes y trasladó a la opinión pública que “un solo juez en una sola ciudad no puede dirigir los movimientos de una aeronave que transporta a terroristas extranjeros que han sido expulsados físicamente de suelo estadounidense”. Eso, según ella, no era lo mismo que negarse a cumplir con una orden judicial. En El Salvador su presidente Nayib Bukele aceptó de buen grado a los deportados, pero no lo ha hecho gratis. Hace dos meses acordó aceptar a unos 300 inmigrantes durante un año a cambio de 6 millones de dólares. El domingo las autoridades salvadoreñas informaron que 238 miembros del Tren de Aragua y 23 de la Mara Salvatrucha, una pandilla salvadoreña, habían llegado y estaban siendo trasladados al CECOT, la macro prisión que Bukele mandó construir en 2022 para encerrar a los pandilleros. Por ahora el Gobierno estadounidense no ha facilitado la lista de los deportados ni ha aportado prueba alguna de que se tratase de pandilleros del Tren de Aragua o que hayan cometido algún delito dentro del país. Se espera que Boasberg continúe con el caso, lo que preludia un choque seguro entre el poder judicial y el ejecutivo.

El Gobierno de Estados Unidos deportó a El Salvador a 23 miembros de la Mara Salvatrucha, entre ellos a un máximo líder de la pandilla acusado de terrorismo en Nueva York, y a 238 presuntos miembros del Tren de Aragua, una organización criminal de origen venezolano. Este es el primer envío que incluye reos extranjeros a El Salvador bajo la administración de Donald Trump, y va en contra de la lógica del juicio contra la MS-13 en Nueva York, para el que la Fiscalía estadounidense ha insistido en la extradición hacia el norte de los líderes pandilleros.

Durante la madrugada del domingo, El Salvador recibió a 238 presuntos miembros de la banda criminal venezolana "Tren de Aragua" y a otros 23 supuestos integrantes de la pandilla Mara Salvatrucha. Esto ocurrió a pesar de que un juez estadounidense había ordenado detener temporalmente estas deportaciones por posibles violaciones de derechos y procedimientos legales.

Durante más de una década, el Señor Orellana fue víctima de las extorsiones de las pandillas y testigo de un asesinato, pero el régimen de excepción lo convirtió sin pruebas en colaborador de las pandillas y lo encarceló durante 442 días en el penal de Izalco.El Señor Orellana es propietario de un pequeño negocio de reciclaje de metales en la zona norte de San Salvador y fue capturado el 4 de diciembre de 2023. Al momento de su arresto, intentó explicar a los policías que era víctima de las pandillas por partida doble: el Barrio 18 Revolucionarios le exigía la renta por vivir en una colonia, mientras que la Mara Salvatrucha-13 le cobraba una cuota mensual a su empresa, ubicada a dos kilómetros y medio de distancia, al poniente de su casa.El Señor Orellana siempre se negó a pagar esos chantajes. Él contrató un vigilante privado para su negocio, pero el 14 de julio de 2012 la pandilla asesinó con un arma blanca al vigilante privado, un jornalero de 70 años. El hecho ocurrió en la entrada principal del negocio y el Señor Orellana, que en ese momento ya era víctima de las extorsiones, también se convirtió en testigo del crimen. En esos días, otros familiares del comerciante huyeron hacia los Estados Unidos donde recibieron asilo político por las amenazas de las pandillas.El Señor Orellana dijo a las autoridades que denunció a los pandilleros ante la Fiscalía, pero los agentes que lo capturaron durante el régimen de excepción se burlaron de sus argumentos: “Vas a ir a conocer en persona a los que te estaban fregando”, le dijeron. Tras dos semanas de injusta prisión, su familia presentó un legajo de documentos que lo acreditaban como víctima y, en la primera audiencia ante el juez, el Tribunal Sexto contra el Crimen Organizado de San Salvador lo benefició con libertad condicional, el 15 de diciembre de 2023.Sin embargo, el 15 de enero de 2024 fue recapturado en el penal de Izalco por el mismo delito y por los mismos hechos, pese a que la Constitución salvadoreña prohíbe procesar a alguien dos veces por la misma causa. Durante la tercera semana de febrero de 2025, tras otros 412 días de injusta prisión por un segundo caso de agrupaciones ilícitas, el Señor Orellana recuperó su libertad.  Aunque estaba alegre por reencontrarse con su madre, su esposa y sus tres hijas de entre 19 y 6 años de edad, en el fondo dice que se sentía “deshumanizado” por los 14 meses que pasó encarcelado.[34:11] [34:29]"Uno quizás como humano crea un cascarón porque yo me acuerdo de todo lo que pasó ese día. Yo estaba frío. Ellas me abrazaban, me besaban y yo queriéndoles decir que se tranquilizaran. Es más, se lo dije a mi esposa, mi mamá, mis hijas, que me abrazaban, me querían besar y yo: espérense, tranquilas. O sea, uno se deshumaniza”.El Señor Orellana dirá en esta entrevista que las pandillas eran un cáncer en la sociedad y que era necesario aplicar una medicina amarga. Sin embargo, lamentará que esa medicina amarga se le haya aplicado a él y a otros compañeros de celda que no tenían relación con esos grupos. Aquí, una víctima de las pandillas cuenta cómo el régimen de excepción lo convirtió en victimario. Esta es su historia.

Se cumplen dos años de la apertura de la cárcel más grande de América Latina. El centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, el CECOT. Con capacidad para 40.000 personas, se ha convertido en símbolo de la lucha del presidente Nayib Bukele contra las pandillas, que suma  ya más de 80.000 arrestos en el marco de un régimen de excepción declarado en marzo de 2022 y fuertemente criticado por ONG y agencias internacionales. El CECOT, el Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, punta de lanza de la guerra del Gobierno de Nayib Bukele contra las pandillas en El Salvador cumple dos años.Esta prisión de alta seguridad, con capacidad para 40.000 reos y escenario de impactantes imágenes de reclusos hacinados con la cabeza afeitada, fue presentada el 31 de enero de 2023 y puesta en marcha a principios de febrero de ese mismo año.Para el criminólogo salvadoreño Ricardo Sosa, experto en seguridad, este centro, además de ser una cárcel, sirve para lanzar un mensaje."Es CECOT es un centro penitenciario de máxima seguridad y que está diseñado para miembros de estructuras de las pandillas criminales de alta peligrosidad. Por supuesto que las imágenes, además de enviar un mensaje a la población, a las víctimas principalmente, también considero que tiene un efecto de mostrarle a las personas que todavía se encuentran en libertad y que son criminales que están siendo buscados, lo que les espera al ser condenados", dijo a Radio Francia Internacional.El CECOT es el complemento del régimen de excepción declarado por Bukele en 2022, con el que ya se han detenido a más de 80.000 personas.Ricardo Sosa estima que aunque no se ha ganado la guerra, las pandillas, como la Mara Salvatrucha, se han visto fuertemente golpeadas: "Las pandillas criminales en El Salvador, como fueron conocidas antes del 2022, ya no tienen la misma capacidad de operación, ya no tienen el mismo impacto criminal y ya no controlan parte del territorio salvadoreño". Leer tambiénDenuncian ante la CIDH violaciones de derechos humanos en El SalvadorSin embargo, la rigidez del régimen de excepción de Bukele también despierta recelo. Agencias internacionales, ONG y grupos ciudadanos han denunciado que atenta contra los derechos humanos. Un ejemplo es el MOVIR, el Mivimiento de Víctimas del Régimen de Excepción. Denuncian detenciones arbitrarias: 8.000 de los presos han tenido que ser liberados, y falta de acceso a los reos y a la información.Samuel Ramirez, su coordinador, habla con RFI: "Ese número de 80000 lo logró en poco tiempo. El presidente quería números. No hay acceso a la información. El mismo régimen de excepción le permite mantener en reserva toda la información que tiene que ver con el régimen. No permiten las visitas familiares, no se permite saber las causas de las muertes en las cárceles. No podemos saber cómo van los procesos judiciales". El 27 de marzo el régimen de excepción cumplirá 3 años en el Salvador.

El 10 de enero de 2024, tres semanas antes de la reelección inconstitucional de Nayib Bukele, cientos de policías y soldados cercaron Chalatenango. El cerco era resultado de la Orden de Operaciones MI-120 de la Policía que ordenaba la “extracción de remanentes de estructuras terroristas”. Una de las personas que estaba en la lista de búsqueda era Nelson Alexander Calles Pérez, licenciado en ciencias jurídicas, de 34 años, que un mes antes había sido absuelto por un caso de homicidio. Nelson no fue perfilado como pandillero durante los 19 meses que estuvo detenido en la Penitenciaría La Occidental de Santa Ana, donde compartió celda con policías, militares y políticos. Un tribunal de Chalatenango lo absolvió de homicidio en noviembre de 2023, la Fiscalía no apeló la sentencia y el caso quedó cerrado definitivamente. Finalmente, Nelson recuperó su libertad el 7 de diciembre de 2023. Sin embargo, apenas un mes después, el Departamento de Inteligencia Policial de la Delegación de Chalatenango elaboró una ficha que lo perfilaba como miembro de la Sierpeños Locos Salvatruchos, una clica de la Mara Salvatrucha-13. Él niega su pertenencia a esa pandilla y lo demuestra con un documento de la misma Policía y otro de la Dirección General de Centros Penales, ambos de 2022, que no lo clasifican como pandillero ni antes ni durante el proceso que enfrentó. La Policía lo buscó en su casa, pero no lo encontró. Nelson presentó un hábeas corpus y así confirmó que la base para la nueva orden de captura era el perfil elaborado por la inteligencia policial; y una denuncia por amenazas contra una testigo protegida con la clave México. Lo inverosímil de esa denuncia es que data del 28 de noviembre de 2023, cuando aún estaba detenido en el penal. Nelson salió de El Salvador en febrero de 2024 hacia un país de la Unión Europea, donde ha denunciado que tanto la ficha policial que lo etiqueta como pandillero como la denuncia por amenazas contra la víctima con clave México son falsas. Ese país europeo ha aceptado los documentos y ha dado trámite a su solicitud de asilo político. En esta entrevista cuenta los detalles de su caso.

El      señor Orellanaes un comerciante de la zona norte de San Salvador que durante casi dos décadas fue víctima de las pandillas. En el año 2005, una empresa distribuidora de alimentos lo despidió y, para enfrentar su desempleo, montó un pequeño negocio de reciclaje. Con el nacimiento de su empresa comenzaron los problemas con las pandillas: el Señor Orellana vivía en una colonia controlada por el Barrio 18 y su negocio operaba en un territorio controlado por la Mara Salvatrucha-13. Ambas pandillas exigían el pago de la renta al comerciante. Fue su esposa quien contó a El Faro la historia. Es ella quien da este testimonio. Él está preso.  El señor Orellana se negó a pagar la renta y creyó que el problema se solucionaba contratando el servicio de vigilancia privada. En julio de 2012, la pandilla respondió con el asesinato de Carlos Rodríguez, de 70 años, el anciano que vigilaba el negocio. Tras este homicidio, y ante nuevas exigencias para el pago de la renta, dos familiares del señor Orellana emigraron hacia Estados Unidos y solicitaron asilo político. En febrero de 2017, esos familiares recibieron asilo político en Estados Unidos, por ser víctimas de las pandillas, según documentos en poder de El Faro. El Señor Orellana no abandonó el país. Él denunció el caso de extorsión en la Fiscalía, siguió trabajando y, según su esposa, negándose siempre a pagar la renta que le exigía tanto el Barrio 18 como a la Mara Salvatrucha-13. Pese a los documentos fiscales que confirman que durante años fue una víctima de las pandillas, el 4 de diciembre de 2023, a 19 meses de iniciado el régimen de excepción, la Policía lo capturó por el delito de agrupaciones ilícitas. La familia presentó un legado de documentos para demostrar que la empresa del señor Orellana factura más de un millón de dólares al año, que tiene una estabilidad económica; la familia documentó las responsabilidades del señor Orellana con sus tres hijas y también las amenazas y ataques que recibieron por parte de las pandillas. Un juez contra el crimen organizado de San Salvador ordenó su libertad inmediata en la primera audiencia, realizada diez días después de su detención, pero Centros Penales no cumplió con la orden.  Un mes después, en enero de 2024, el señor Orellana fue recapturado por agrupaciones ilícitas en el penal de Izalco, en Sonsonate. La Fiscalía lo acusó de un “nuevo” delito ante otro juez contra el crimen organizado de San Salvador. Sin embargo, la familia logró, por medio de unos abogados, acumular el proceso al juzgado que le concedió la orden de libertad en diciembre del año pasado. La familia denuncia que el comerciante es víctima de una “doble persecución” (ser acusado dos veces del mismo delito, por los mismos hechos), algo que prohíbe la Constitución salvadoreña. El juez aún no resuelve el caso y el señor Orellana continúa detenido. La esposa del señor Orellana narra a continuación su calvario y el que antes padecieron a manos de los pandilleros.

MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, is a violent and notorious street gang that originated in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. Founded by Salvadoran immigrants who fled the civil war in El Salvador, the gang initially formed to protect its members from other gangs. Over time, MS-13 expanded its criminal activities to include drug trafficking, extortion, and human trafficking. The gang is known for its brutal violence, including the use of machetes, and its distinctive tattoos.MS-13 operates as a decentralized network of "cliques," with each clique controlling its own territory and criminal enterprises. The gang has a significant presence in both the United States and Central America, particularly in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. Deportation of gang members from the U.S. to Central America has contributed to the gang's growth and influence in the region.MS-13's criminal activities have made it a top target for law enforcement, both in the U.S. and internationally. Despite numerous efforts to dismantle the gang, its decentralized structure and ability to adapt to changing circumstances have made it difficult to eradicate completely. The gang continues to be a major source of violence and crime, impacting communities in both North and Central America.(commercial at 8:08)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Luis Armando Rodríguez, un hombre de 52 años que vivía en el cantón Mejicapa de Santa María, en Usulután, falleció en el hospital Rosales el 21 de junio de 2023. A su madre le devolvieron el cuerpo envuelto en plástico, “embolsadito”, como dice ella. Cuando le retiraron la envoltura para prepararlo para el funeral, descubrieron “heridas en el lomo”. Rodríguez estaba detenido en el penal de Quezaltepeque y desde un mes antes de su muerte tenía una carta de libertad que ordenaba su salida de prisión. Durante más de un mes, la Dirección General de Centros Penales incumplió con esa orden. “Él trabajaba así por veces con los albañiles porque él solo enfermo pasaba porque él era bolito”, dice su madre María Rodríguez para explicar que no era criminal, sino que tenía un problema de alcoholismo. Cuenta que su hijo fue capturado el 21 de abril de 2022, durante el primer mes del régimen de excepción. Rodríguez, quien padecía de insuficiencia renal desde dos años antes de su captura y que tomaba medicamentos a diario, fue trasladado al penal de Mariona primero, y al de Quezaltepeque, después. El 16 de mayo de 2023, un Juzgado Contra el Crimen Organizado de San Miguel lo benefició con libertad condicional, pero no fue liberado, pese a las múltiples peticiones de la familia. “Él tenía su carta de libertad por no haberle encontrado nada de delito”, insiste su madre. El 19 de junio de 2023, Rodríguez fue trasladado de emergencia desde el penal de Quezaltepeque al hospital Rosales, donde falleció dos días después. Como en tantos otros casos, Medicina Legal consignó escuetamente en un documento oficial que fue víctima de un “edema pulmonar”. María Rodríguez pasa de los 70 años, a diario hace labores del hogar y sobrevive por la ayuda de una de sus hijas. Es una anciana humilde y de pocas palabras. En las sucintas respuestas que dio durante una breve entrevista el 18 de julio de 2024 dijo que para ella el régimen de excepción tiene dos caras. Por un lado, señala que el encarcelamiento y muerte de su hijo fueron injusticias porque era inocente; pero también habla de que gracias al régimen de excepción ahora vive con una tranquilidad inédita en la colonia Vilma, del cantón Mejicapa, un lugar de calles de tierra y matorrales que antes era controlado por la Mara Salvatrucha-13.

Alba tiene 28 años de edad, es madre de un niño y en noviembre del 2022 vivía en casa de sus padres a quienes, junto a un hermano, ayudaba con los gastos del hogar. Había aplicado a un programa de visas del Ministerio de Trabajo y la Embajada de Estados Unidos y había sido seleccionada para ir a trabajar a principios del 2023. Luego vivió lo que ella describe como “un secuestro”.  El 11 de noviembre del 2022, agentes de la Policía Nacional Civil llegaron a su casa y la capturaron frente a su madre y su hijo. No hubo argumentos, no hubo evidencia, no hubo nada más que una orden: “te mandan a llamar. Te vas a ir con nosotros”. La casa de la familia de Alba estaba en una zona que había permanecido bajo el dominio de la Mara Salvatrucha-13. Alba dice que ellos son víctimas de las maras y no colaboradores. Asegura que la clica que controlaba la zona asesinó a uno de sus hermanos. Sin embargo, ese viernes 11, los policías la acusaron de ser pareja de un marero.  Desde entonces, Alba estuvo seis meses presa. Con el paso del tiempo, el juzgado le dio libertad condicional y ella aún enfrenta un proceso basado en pruebas en su contra que aún desconoce. Todos los juicios de las más de 80,000 personas capturadas por el régimen desde marzo de 2022 son secretos, según decreto judicial. Es imposible acceder a información sobre ellos, al menos de forma oficial. Alba, como decenas de miles de salvadoreños, es procesada lejos del escrutinio público.  En las cárceles del régimen no hay comunicación alguna con ningún familiar que esté en libertad: no hay visitas ni correspondencia. Por eso fue hasta salir de prisión que Alba se enteró de que su padre y su hermano habían sido capturados por el régimen de excepción. Que su madre y su hijo vivían en desplazamiento forzado debido al acoso de la Policía. Y que a cada trabajo al que quiere aplicar le piden sus antecedentes penales. Ella sigue desempleada.  Un informe presentado recientemente por la organización Cristosal plantea la ausencia de una mínima perspectiva de género en la gestión penitenciaria del régimen, lo que deriva en condiciones adversas para las mujeres. Alba vivió esas condiciones desde el día de su captura. Fue obligada a desnudarse frente a diez hombres policías, para ver si tenía tatuajes. El día que fue enviada al penal de Apanteos pasó revisión física ante otro hombre. Padeció una hemorragia en la que, por falta de toallas sanitarias, tuvo que usar su propia camisa. Tuvo que comer acostada. Estuvo al lado de mujeres embarazadas. Dice que a una de ellas “le sacaron al bebé”.

La gang di strada MS13 nata a Los Angeles con un gruppo di salvadoregni tornati poi in Patria ad imporre la propria legge di sangue e violenza, mostra segni di espansione del suo portafoglio criminale, a partire dal narcotraffico nel quale – dopo aver rappresentato spesso e volentieri il braccio armato e servente – intravede la possibilità di mettersi in proprio.

Nayib Bukele y el modelo de seguridad que aplicó en El Salvador se han convertido en argumento repetido en campañas electorales de países dispares como Ecuador y Argentina. Y no quedan dudas de que también se lo mencionará en Uruguay. Para empezar, el senador Juan Sartori se reunió con el presidente salvadoreño días atrás. Pero también han destacado sus éxitos otras figuras como el diputado y precandidato colorado Gustavo Zubía. Pero ¿sabemos bien cómo es el modelo de Bukele? ¿Qué fue lo que hizo exactamente para controlar los niveles de violencia en un país que parecía condenado a sufrir a las pandillas como la Mara Salvatrucha? ¿Por qué triunfó? ¿Es adaptable a otros países, como prometen candidatos en elecciones por todo el continente? El politólogo salvadoreño José Miguel Cruz, especialista en seguridad y crimen organizado, estudia desde hace casi tres décadas a las pandillas criminales: en 1996, consiguió que un grupo de pandilleros realizara una encuesta a la interna de las maras, y desde entonces les ha seguido la pista. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Cruz, quien es director de Investigación del Instituto Kimberly Green, de la Universidad Internacional de Florida en Miami, que se enfoca en Latinoamérica y el Caribe. Y desde allí nos atiende ahora para profundizar sobre qué es el "modelo Bukele", cómo operan las maras salvadoreñas, y para pensar si sería viable exportar el modelo a otros países como Uruguay.

En la frontera sur del país, en específico en Chiapas, la Sedena identificó la presencia del Cártel de Sinaloa y células del Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación. Además, bandas locales e integrantes de pandillas, entre ellas la Mara Salvatrucha

El fenómeno de Nayib Bukele no tiene límites. Acaba de ser reelegido presidente de El Salvador y es el político con más apoyo popular de toda América Latina. Del populismo y la guerra total contra las pandillas a las dudas con el respeto a las libertades y los derechos humanos... ¿qué hay detrás de su éxito? Lo analizamos desde San Salvador con Asier Vera, periodista que ha seguido para EL MUNDO estas elecciones, y desde Caracas con Daniel Lozano, corresponsal en las AméricasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La cosa no es tan así, pero las tensiones entre el gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, y el gobierno federal de Joe Biden se calentaron en estos días. El foco de la disputa es la estrategia para frenar la migración irregular en la frontera con México. El lunes pasado, la Suprema Corte ordenó permitir la entrada de los agentes federales a Shelby Park para quitar el alambre de púas que Abbott mandó a poner a lo largo del Río Bravo. Pese a la decisión del Tribunal, el gobierno texano ha negado el paso a los agentes federales de la patrulla fronteriza a la zona. Ante esto, la Casa Blanca está rondando la posibilidad de federalizar a la Guardia Nacional de Texas para que ahora sí responda a las órdenes de Washington. Según Abbott, “sería un movimiento estúpido de su parte, un desastre total”. Mientras tanto, 25 estados del país, todos gobernados por el Partido Republicano, firmaron una carta en apoyo a Texas ante un conflicto con la Casa Blanca. El medio digital “El Faro” señaló que el presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, pactó con el Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación. Todo para que la organización criminal ayudara a recapturar a uno de los principales líderes de la Mara Salvatrucha, Élmer Canales Rivera, alías “Crook”. Según el reportaje, el gobierno salvadoreño ofreció un millón de dólares al Cártel para secuestrar a Crook y entregarlo en una ubicación secreta. Ante estas acusaciones y a una semana de las elecciones, Bukele, quien anda buscando otro mandato, describió los señalamientos como “ataques” y expresó que es un “honor” recibirlos, ya que le preocuparía si los medios estuvieran de su lado.Además…LatinUS destapó que Bancomext le dio un crédito por 150 millones de pesos a Epigmenio Ibarra y extendió la fecha para que liquide el préstamo; las corridas de toros regresaron a la Plaza México en medio de protestas de grupos antitaurinos; dos activistas ambientales arrojaron sopa a la Mona Lisa en el Museo del Louvre en París; y SUPERBOWLY para #ElVasoMedioLleno…Costa Rica arrancó un programa para darle seguro a unos 15,700 recolectores de granos de café, que en su mayoría son migrantes provenientes, mayormente, de Nicaragua y Panamá.

El miércoles 8 de noviembre, Élmer Canales, "Crook", uno de los máximos líderes de la Mara Salvatrucha-13 en El Salvador fue capturado en México y entregado a las autoridades estadounidenses que lo requerían en extradición. Este marero es también la prueba viviente de que el Gobierno de Nayib Bukele pactó con esa estructura criminal.

La guerra contra las maras de Nayib Bukele está dando resultado. Las pandillas han desaparecido de las calles y la violencia está en mínimos históricos. Pero, ¿a qué precio? Muchos se preguntan si la mano dura es la respuesta y, sobre todo, cómo puede afectar al futuro democrático del país. Las pandillas llevan décadas controlando la vida de los barrios en El Salvador y en otros países de Centroamérica. Su actividad se ha ido expandiendo hasta convertirse en unos actores sociales fundamentales. Llegaron desde Estados Unidos y se asentaron en las ciudades salvadoreñas tras la guerra civil que asoló el país. Desde entonces las maras como la Salvatrucha o la Barrio 18, han controlado las calles y la violencia en El Salvador.

Ascendió a 46 el número de mujeres muertas tras el incendio ocurrido el martes en una prisión de Támara, al norte de Tegucigalpa. La tragedia, ocurrida a raíz de un enfrentamiento entre pandillas, pone sobre el tapete las políticas de seguridad contra el flagelo de los grupos criminales y las condiciones de detención en el país centroamericano. Con El Salvador y Guatemala, Honduras forma parte del denominado “Triángulo de la muerte”, plagado de pandillas o maras que controlan el tráfico de drogas y el crimen organizado.El martes 20 de junio, 46 presas perdieron la vida luego de que reclusas de la pandilla Barrio 18 irrumpieron disparando en el edificio donde se ubicaban sus rivales de la Mara Salvatrucha y posteriormente le prendieran fuego.Lo ocurrido en Honduras, uno de los países con mayor nivel de violencia penitenciaria que totaliza más de mil muertos en 20 años, no es algo sorpresivo.“En abril, la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos ya advirtió de los altos niveles de corrupción en el sistema penitenciario y de la entrada de armas, de la falta de seguridad dentro de las prisiones”, explica a RFI César Muñoz, director asociado para las Américas de Human Rights Watch (HRW).HacinamientoLa presidenta Xiomara Castro anunció medidas drásticas, entre ellas destituir al ministro de Seguridad, Ramón Visión, y reemplazarlo por el director de la Policía Nacional, Gustavo Sánchez.“Honduras vive una crisis penitenciaria y es necesaria una reforma amplia, no colocar parches”, comenta Muñoz. “Esa reforma tiene que atajar los problemas estructurales del sistema: uno de ellos es el hacinamiento. Hay el doble de personas en el sistema penitenciario hondureño que la capacidad de las prisiones. Los guardas no consiguen mantener la seguridad dentro. Las personas que están detenidas se ven forzadas en la práctica a integrar pandillas para protegerse”, detalla."Retomar el control"Las prisiones son caldo de cultivo para las organizaciones criminales. “El Estado tiene que retomar el control y ofrecer condiciones dignas para que las personas cumplan su pena y para que se puedan reintegrar en la sociedad. Ese es el objetivo del sistema penitenciario”, concluye el portavoz de HRW.En diciembre pasado, la presidenta hondureña declaró un estado de excepción para enfrentar la violencia pandillera, algo que recuerda las medidas impuestas por el gobierno de Nayib Bukele en El Salvador hace más de un año. Las acciones fueron menos espectaculares y no arrojaron claros resultados.

“Theft is the act of taking another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.[1][2][3] The word theft is also used as a synonym or informal shorthand term for some crimes against property, such as larceny, robbery,[1] embezzlement, extortion, blackmail, or receiving stolen property.[2] In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny,[4][5] while in others, theft is defined more narrowly.[6] Someone who carries out an act of theft may be described as a "thief" (pl: thieves).[7]” “Burglary, also called breaking and entering (B&E)[1] and sometimes housebreaking,[2] is the act of illegally entering a building or other areas without permission, typically with the intention of committing a criminal offence. Usually that offence is theft, larceny, robbery, or murder, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary. To commit burglary is to burgle,[3] a term back-formed from the word burglar, or to burglarize.[4][3]” I saw similar things: “The newest growth sectors for organized crime are identity theft and online extortion. These activities are troubling because they discourage consumers from using the Internet for e-commerce. E-commerce was supposed to level the playing ground between small and large businesses, but the growth of online organized crime is leading to the opposite effect; large businesses are able to afford more bandwidth (to resist denial-of-service attacks) and superior security. Furthermore, organized crime using the Internet is much harder to trace down for the police (even though they increasingly deploy cybercops) since most police forces and law enforcement agencies operate within a local or national jurisdiction while the Internet makes it easier for criminal organizations to operate across such boundaries without detection. In the past criminal organizations have naturally limited themselves by their need to expand, putting them in competition with each other. This competition, often leading to violence, uses valuable resources such as manpower (either killed or sent to prison), equipment and finances. In the United States, James "Whitey" Bulger, the Irish Mob boss of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston turned informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He used this position to eliminate competition and consolidate power within the city of Boston which led to the imprisonment of several senior organized crime figures including Gennaro Angiulo, underboss of the Patriarca crime family. Infighting sometimes occurs within an organization, such as the Castellamarese war of 1930–31 and the Boston Irish Mob Wars of the 1960s and 1970s. Today criminal organizations are increasingly working together, realizing that it is better to work in cooperation rather than in competition with each other (once again, consolidating power). This has led to the rise of global criminal organizations such as Mara Salvatrucha, 18th Street gang and Barrio Azteca. The American Mafia, in addition to having links with organized crime groups in Italy such as the Camorra, the 'Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita and Sicilian Mafia, has at various times done business with the Irish Mob, Jewish-American organized crime, the Japanese Yakuza, Indian mafia, the Russian mafia, Thief in law and Post-Soviet Organized crime groups, the Chinese Triads, Chinese Tongs and Asian street gangs, Motorcycle Gangs and numerous White, Black and Hispanic prison and street gangs. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that organized crime groups held $322 billion in assets in 2005.[197]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez. You may love him, hate him, or wonder who we're even talking about – but the truth is that Nayib Bukele has changed the direction of El Salvador's history forever, simply by turning it from the world's most dangerous nation to one of its safest, practically overnight. But we must ask the important question here: is he the Central American nation's savior? Or is he a tyrant slowly controlling the population's lives with an iron fist? In this episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, we are going to discover not only what Nayib Bukele has accomplished in a few years, but everything that led (historically speaking) to today's situation in El Salvador and why he was elected to begin with. After all, as the old adage goes: “Hard times create strong men”. Enjoy the episode! Transcript of this episode is available at: https://podcast.lingomastery.com/listen/1167

“All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.[9] Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[10] Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, an absence of morality, lack of emotion, and a higher level of self-interest.[11] Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU),[12] and remorselessness.[13]” I had similar experiences in the DMV: “The newest growth sectors for organized crime are identity theft and online extortion.

El presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, mantiene una guerra abierta con las pandillas, tras la inauguración de la que él llamó la mayor prisión de América Latina. Sin embargo, una acusación recientemente desclasificada y que fue presentada en una corte federal del Distrito Este de Nueva York contra 13 pandilleros de alto rango, afirma que funcionarios del Gobierno de Bukele y de su partido negociaron en secreto con la pandilla MS-13. En Conclusiones, Erika Guevara Rosas, directora para las Américas de Amnistía Internacional, y el periodista de investigaciones especiales de El Faro, Carlos Martínez, dan su visión de la situación en el país.Para conocer sobre cómo CNN protege la privacidad de su audiencia, visite CNN.com/privacidad

Nayib Bukele ha detenido a más de 60.000 integrantes de las pandillas bajo el estado de excepción, que permite arrestos sin orden judicial y que ha sido denunciado por organizaciones de derechos humanos. ¿Ha conseguido Bukele acabar con el crimen en El Salvador? Le hicimos la pregunta al periodista salvadoreño, experto en crimen organizado, Héctor Silva Ávalos. Casi 63.000 presuntos pandilleros han sido detenidos en El Salvador en el marco de la "guerra" contra estas bandas lanzada hace 10 meses por el presidente Nayib Bukele, según el ministro de Justicia y Seguridad, Gustavo Villatoro. Este mes, el presidente salvadoreño inauguró una nueva prisión, considerada la más grande de América, en la que planea encarcelar gran parte de los pandilleros detenidos. Los masivos arrestos, criticados por organizaciones de derechos humanos, se amparan en un régimen de excepción que permite detenciones sin orden judicial, aprobado por el Congreso a instancias de Bukele en respuesta a una escalada homicida que cobró la vida de 87 personas del 25 al 27 de marzo pasado. Según el medio digital "El Faro", ni la Mara Salvatrucha-13, ni las dos facciones del Barrio 18 -Sureños y Revolucionarios-, ni otras pandillas menores, como la Mao-Mao, La Mirada Locos o CODEMAR, operan más en las calles de El Salvador de la forma en que lo hicieron durante décadas. Diez meses de régimen de excepción, en el que han sido suprimidas garantías constitucionales, el Gobierno del presidente Nayib Bukele ha desestructurado a las pandillas de El Salvador, socavando su control territorial, su principal vía de financiamiento y su estructura jerárquica. "Bukele hizo un pacto de gobernabilidad con las pandillas, hay líderes de la MS 13 que han sido protegidos.... las pandillas han sido remplazadas, ahora son uniformados. Hay noticias de que extorsionan y también trafican con drogas, además tienen la potestad del uso legal de la fuerza... no hay forma de determinar hasta qué punto la criminalidad ha bajado porque no hay datos. La narrativa del presidente genera una percepción de seguridad que la da una popularidad abrumadora que ya le ha asegurado la reelección." Detalla al periodista salvadoreño, experto en crimen organizado, Héctor Silva Ávalos al micrófono de RFI.

Brutale Jugendbanden wie die Mara Salvatrucha verbreiten in den Armenvierteln Mittelamerikas Angst und Schrecken. In El Salvador schlägt Präsident Nayib Bukele mit harter Hand zurück: Im März 2022 hat er zur Bekämpfung der Bandenkriminalität den Ausnahmezustand ausgerufen. Seither wurden Zehntausende meist junge Männer willkürlich inhaftiert. Während sie in überfüllten Gefängnissen leiden, begrüßt ein Großteil der Bevölkerung diese Politik. x

Documentos oficiales, un audio grabado por líderes del Barrio 18 Sureños y el testimonio de un antiguo miembro de la Mara Salvatrucha-13 revelan cómo el Gobierno de Nayib Bukele se apoyó en líderes pandilleros para detener un repunte de asesinatos que terminó con la vida de 45 personas en tres días de noviembre del 2021. Con ello el Gobierno logró que esta crisis no rompiera las negociaciones que sostenía con los grupos criminales desde 2019.

La mara salvatrucha ha echado raíces en Estados Unidos. Esta entrevista con la investigadora Guadalupe Correa Cabrera fue publicada por primera vez el 5 de octubre y nos habla de la expansión de este peligroso grupo criminal.

Rodolfo Delgado trabajó 22 años en la Fiscalía, tiempo en el que ocupó cargos importantes, como jefe de la Unidad contra el Crimen Organizado y asesor del fiscal general. Diez meses después de dejar esa institución, en agosto de 2018, comenzó a defender a alguien perfilado como uno de los principales colaboradores de la Mara Salvatrucha-13 (MS-13), quien luego fue absuelto de los cargos. En mayo de 2021, el oficialismo impuso a Delgado como fiscal general y una de sus primeras acciones fue desarticular la Comisión Especial de Investigación, el grupo de fiscales que persiguió a su antiguo cliente. La Fiscalía de Delgado también facilitó que el procesado por colaborar con la MS-13 recuperara dos moteles que estaban inmovilizados por lavado de dinero.

He has access to crime scenes as a blood splatter analyst for the Miami police, gathering information and analyzing DNA to confirm a target's guilt before killing them. Sound familiar? It should, it's the premise of the TV show, “Dexter.”   Ah, yes, Dexter. I love that show. We figured we would talk about the life of Dexter even though Logan, of course, has never seen it. Jk.   Obviously, murder is never acceptable, right? It's the worst crime we can commit against one another, right? But what if, someone who didn't believe in the “thou shall not kill” premise decided to murder someone you love? What if someone raped or beat someone you love? What if a child was purposefully abused, raped, or arguably worse, murdered? Does that horrendous situation change the narrative? Would you, COULD YOU, take the life of the person or persons responsible for your now substantial and debilitating loss? I want you to honestly think about that as we go through today's episode.    Bottom line, do specific human piles of shit DESERVE TO DIE?   Pedro Rodrigues Filho, or Killer Petey, is a Brazilian serial murderer. He was convicted and is notorious for hunting out and murdering only criminals as a teenager, between the ages of 14 and 19, particularly an entire gang in retaliation for the killing of his pregnant girlfriend.   He served 34 years in prison before being released in 2007, having been formally imprisoned for 71 murders but claimed to have killed over 100 drug traffickers, rapists, and murderers. Filho was initially sentenced to eight more years in jail in 2011 on accusations of inciting violence and deprivation of liberty. However, he was released in 2018 after serving seven years on the condition that he behaved himself. Nevertheless, he murdered 47 inmates inside the prisons where he was held captive, most of whom were rapists.   Since his second release from prison in 2018, when he declared himself to be reformed from his self-declared vigilantism as a youth and committed to not committing any more crimes, Filho has gained notoriety as a YouTube personality in Brazil. He runs the channel Pedrinho EX Matador, later renamed 2P Entretenimento, where he comments on current crimes and teaches the general public that committing crimes is not something to be proud of.   South of Minas Gerais in Santa Rita do Sapuca, on a farm, Rodrigues was born. His father was abusive and, all in all, a piece of shit and had kicked his mother's belly during a fight while she was pregnant, leaving the poor unborn child with a bruised skull.    In a quarrel with an older relative at age 13, he shoved the young man into a sugar cane press, nearly killing him, and had pondered leaving him there to die before deciding to save him. He claimed that this was the first time he had felt the urge to kill.   When Filho was fourteen years old, his father was accused of stealing food from the high school kitchen where he worked as a security guard, resulting in him losing his job. In vengeance, Filho killed the vice-mayor of Alfenas with Filho's Grandfather's shotgun, as he was the one who fired his father. A month later, he killed another guard at the school whom he believed to be the real thief.    On the run, Rodrigues took refuge in Mogi das Cruzes, Greater São Paulo, where he began robbing drug dens and killing drug traffickers, making him a celebrity in the news media as the vigilante “Pedrinho Matador” (Lil' Petey Killer). Filho killed one of the gang leaders in the area he was ransacking. After killing the gang leader, he took over his role and began running the same gang, almost like a Riddick moment where you keep what you kill.   During this time, he met a woman named Maria Aparecida Olympia, nicknamed Botinha. After they found out they were pregnant, Filho proposed! So awesome to see that this man, with what could be perceived as a savage beast-like mentality, actually has a pretty big heart.   Unfortunately, a rival gang leader brutally murdered Filho's fiancee during Olympia's pregnancy.   After finding out about the murder, Filho kind of went full John Wick. He and a few of his friends went to the wedding of the rival gang member. The hit squad brutally massacred all involved in the death of his soon-to-be wife and the mother of his child. He killed 7 at the wedding and injured 16 more. All of this came after Filho went on a torture spree to find out who was involved initially. We don't know precisely how many were killed or hurt leading up to this point. Dudes an absolute monster and gave zero fucks.   Speaking of giving zero fucks, the boyfriend of Filho's favorite cousin knocked her up! Pretty exciting news. Except for the fact that the boyfriend refused to marry her, so… Filho shot and killed him.  Remember how we mentioned that Filho's Father was a piece of shit? Well, it gets worse. A few months after the massacre at the wedding, Filho found out that his mother had been killed. By his father. Who had butchered and dismembered her with a machete. After his father was committed to prison, Filho went and paid him a visit! While at the conjugal, Filho stabbed him 22 times! Not only did he kill his father, but he carved his heart out of him and took a rather large bite out of it. Amazing that he still somehow doesn't have any jail time or was even caught! Brazil, what's up down there?   Well, after a few years of Filho continuing his lifestyle of a gang leader, it's known that he killed a few more before good old Johnny Law caught up to him in 1973. After he was sentenced to 126 years in prison, he was transported in a police car with another inmate, where he supposedly murdered him in the police car.   Filho served only 34 years, however, while in prison. This is because the maximum time a criminal can serve is thirty years when convicted, according to Brazilian law. This was later changed to 40 years in 2019.    While in prison, he didn't slow down much on the killing. He murdered 47 other criminals serving time in the same prison as him. They were the worst of the worst, though. Murderers, rapists, sex traffickers, etc. That's valiant, right?   But being a killer of killers creates a pretty strong and bad reputation among other criminals. Especially when most of the prison population has that on their rap sheet. So he made some enemies while there.   He was ambushed by some of these people. During the ambush, he killed three of his attackers and injured the other two. One bad motherfucker.   He was up for release in 2003 but because of the murders within the prison, he was given an extra four years. But he only murdered bad guys. I mean, there was just the one-off murder of his cellmate because he snored too loud, but I mean, come on, who hasn't thought about that? No? Just me? Hmm. Anyways. He did mention that he enjoyed a few of the murders just because they were terrible people, and he wanted to kill them.   He was formally let free on April 24, 2007, but on September 15, 2011, he was detained at his home and later found guilty of riot and false imprisonment. He acknowledged that the fact that his girlfriend was not in jail was his primary reason for wanting to be released. However, he was ultimately sentenced to 128 years for these offenses.   Filho was released in 2018 due to Brazil's repeal of the law stating that those with a diagnosis of psychopathy can be imprisoned indefinitely and that the country's maximum penalty is 30 years. Since then, he has created a YouTube channel where he shares his experiences. In addition, he tries to teach others to not follow in his footsteps.   So let's sum this guy up:   Most of the time, Filho hunted down the various types of offenders he wanted to kill by looking up their names and addresses. He then brutally killed them in several methods. However, he admitted that his preferred method was to hack or stab them to death with swords. Usually, when he learned of a crime, that prompted him to take action. When driven by rage rather than thrill, he would occasionally capture criminals (usually professional criminals and drug dealers) and torture them to death. He sometimes modified his approach by following the path taken by his victims when they committed their own crimes, such as when he murdered his father or when he murdered seven people in one day.   Now how about we look at some other folks with the same motifs? Now they may not have as extensive of a rap sheet as Filho, but these following people had decided to make it known for taking justice into their own hands when the Justice system didn't seem to do enough for them. Marianne Bachmeier   She was a struggling single mother who learned with horror that her daughter Anna, age 7, had died. The girl missed school on May 5, 1980, and somehow ended up at the home of Klaus Grabowski, a 35-year-old butcher who lived next door. Later, a cardboard box containing Anna's remains was discovered on the side of a nearby canal. Grabowski was detained very quickly after his fiancée called the police to report the incident since he already had a criminal record for child abuse. Grabowski argued that he hadn't sexually molested the little girl before killing her, even after confessing to the crime.   Instead, Grabowski made the strange claim that the young girl had attempted to “blackmail” him by saying she would tell her mother he had assaulted her if he didn't give her money. Grabowski further claimed that the primary motivation for his decision to kill the kid in the first place was this alleged “blackmailing.”    The murder of Marianne Bachmeier's daughter had already infuriated her. But when the murderer related this tale, she grew even more irate. She was determined to get retribution when the man was put on trial a year later.   At Grabowski's 1981 trial in the Lübeck district court, his defense claimed that since he had been deliberately castrated for his crimes years earlier, he had only committed the offense due to a hormone imbalance.   The third day of the trial was Bachmeier's breaking point. She concealed a .22-caliber Beretta handgun in her handbag, took it out in the courtroom, and fired eight shots at the murderer. Grabowski received six rounds of fire before passing away in a pool of blood on the courthouse floor. Bachmeier reportedly responded, “I wanted to kill him,” according to Judge Guenther Kroeger.   Although it was evident from the several witnesses and Bachmeier's comments that it was indeed her who killed Grabowski, she was shortly placed on trial for the crime. She said, “He killed my daughter... I meant to shoot him in the face but I shot him in the back... I hope he's dead.”   With some celebrating Bachmeier as a hero and others denouncing her conduct, the “Revenge Mother” case swiftly gained notoriety in Germany. Before shooting Grabowski, Bachmeier said that she saw visions of Anna in the trial and could no longer stand for him to misrepresent her daughter. She allegedly sold her story to Stern magazine to pay her defense lawyers for $158,000.   In the end, the courts found Bachmeier guilty in 1983 of deliberate manslaughter. For her acts, she received a six-year prison term. Jason Vukovich   Unlike other real-life vigilantes, Jason Vukovich's search for justice began years before he set out to pursue it. Vukovich, born to a single mother in Anchorage, Alaska, on June 25, 1975, was quickly adopted by his mother's new husband, Larry Fulton. Fulton seemed devout in public, but in reality, he molested Vukovich during his nightly “prayer sessions.”   Vukovich and his brother were often beaten with belts and pieces of wood in addition to sexual torture. And to make matters worse, Fulton got away with all these horrific offenses, which infuriated Vukovich. As a result, Vukovich, who fled terrified at 16, spent years getting by on narcotics and small-time thievery.   He returned to Alaska in 2008, but his desire to get revenge on pedophiles like Fulton didn't go away. It culminated in 2016. Vukovich started by browsing the neighborhood sex offenders list. He then attacked and stole from three of the guys on the list as the last act.   In June 2016, Vukovich went after the three guys. Targeting Albee first, he drove to the residences of Andres Barbosa, Charles Albee, and Wesley Demarest. Then, on the morning of June 24, Vukovich broke into the man's house and smacked the 68-year-old before robbing him and fleeing.   Two days later, he approached Barbosa in a very identical manner. However, he arrived at the door at 4 a.m. this time. He assaulted Barbosa with a punch to the face, stole his truck, and fled the scene with two female accomplices and a hammer. Demarest was instructed to get on his knees as Vukovich struck him in the fucking face with a hammer.   Vukovich claimed, “I am an angel of vengeance. “I'm going to administer justice to those you injured.”   Shortly after, the hammer, stolen items, and a notepad with the names of the persons in it were all discovered by police on Vukovich who was hiding in a nearby car. As a result, 18 charges of assault, robbery, burglary, and theft were brought against him. He decidedly took a plea deal.   According to allthatsintersting.com, in 2018, Vukovich was sentenced to 28 years in prison, after which the judge stated that “vigilantism won't be accepted in our society.”   Vukovich has since expressed regret for his actions and urged others in his position not to follow in his footsteps: “I began my life sentence many, many years ago, it was handed down to me by an ignorant, hateful, poor substitute for a father. I now face losing most of the rest of my life due to a decision to lash out at people like him. To all those who have suffered like I have, love yourself and those around you, this is truly the only way forward.”   Gary Plauché   Now I'm pretty sure we all already know this story, but it fits the agenda of what we share.   Jeff Doucet, a 25-year-old karate teacher in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, enjoyed the total confidence of his young pupils and their parents. But on February 19, 1984, when Doucet took Jody Plauché, then 11 years old, for what was intended to be a 15-minute automobile journey, that confidence was horribly betrayed.   When their son didn't come home that day, Gary and June Plauché became quite concerned—and with good reason. Doucet had taken their small boy hostage and was transporting him to the West Coast. Before booking a room at a hotel in Anaheim, California, Doucet shaved his beard and colored Jody's hair to ward off suspicion.   The youngster was repeatedly assaulted there by Doucet until he eventually gave Jody permission to phone his parents. Jody was returned to his family after the police quickly tracked down the call and apprehended Doucet. In the meantime, Gary Plauché, Jody's father, traveled to the Baton Rouge airport to meet Doucet at arrivals and murder him.   Plauché drew a .38 pistol from his boot on March 16, 1984, as soon as he spotted Doucet at the airport. He had been talking to a friend on the other end of a payphone while waiting for Doucet to show up. Even saying, “Look out, he's coming. A shot is soon to be heard. The subsequent gunshot was recorded on tape since television cameras were filming.   Plauché had murdered the abuser of his kid, shooting a hollow-point bullet into Doucet's head from three feet away. Later, he was put on trial for murder, but the judge sitting on the opposing side of the courtroom was lenient. As a result, Plauché was shortly released after receiving a sentence of seven years with a suspended term, five years of probation, and 300 hours of community service.   Jody Plauché, on the other hand, took a while to comprehend all the trauma that had occurred to him at a young age. "I was outraged with what my father did after the incident," Jody said. “I did not want Jeff killed. I felt like he was going to go to jail, and that was enough for me.”   He continued, “But my parents, they didn't force me into recovery. They kind of let me recover at my own pace, and it took a while… but I was able to work through it and eventually accept my dad back in my life.” Jody eventually turned his experience into a book titled Why, Gary, Why?. Tityana Coppage Tityana Coppage is a woman from Kansas City, Missouri. She was known as a strong woman who tried to help and lead her family as a young adult. She was only 21 when she lost her brother – and it wasn't the first loss her family had to come to terms with. Her family was extended to several younger brothers with different last names who she cared for equally and passionately.   The brother she lost was Jayson Ugwuh Jr. He was a 16-year-old high school student who loved basketball and rap. He was a bright, cheerful kid despite knowing personal tragedies from mere years beforehand. He was gunned down in public on January 10 while walking with some of his friends. A car came up, opened fire, and then sped away. What provoked the incident remained a mystery. The only solid fact was that Jayson Jr. was the primary victim. Tityana and Jayson both endured a shocking loss in 2016 when a drive-by shooting claimed the lives of her young brother Jayden Ugwuh and younger cousin Montell Ross.   The boys were just 9 and 8, respectively, at the time of death. Jayson was present for the shooting and held his little brother Jayden as he faded and died from the bullet wounds.   The killer was never found. Tityana was only 16 when the incident occurred, leaving her mentally changed.   A few days before the killing of Lars, Coppage posted a tribute to her brother on Facebook. The post read: “I tried to shield y'all from everything I had to witness as a kid. I supported anything and everything you wanted to do in life. I tried to give you the best so you wouldn't have to look for fake love in the streets,” she wrote in the January 11 post. “I worked hard and long hours to keep a roof over y'all head, nice clothes and shoes on y'all feet refrigerator full of groceries. The streets didn't rise y'all I did this sh*t 10 toes down. I was at those games as much as I could, I was paying for your studio time for your trips no matter the cost. All I wanted is to see you happy finish school and make it to the top. But some how I still failed you. This wasn't you Jayson you was so sweet so quite a honorable young man why didn't you just hear me out I only wanted more time with you that's all.”   The object of Tityana's vengeance was Keith Lars. Just two days after her brother's death and burial, she gathered as much evidence as possible to affirm the identity of her brother's murderer.   She traced him as the car owner that carried the gunman who killed her brother and armed herself before they met. Lars didn't go down quietly.   They exchanged gunfire, but Tityana came alive and left Lars dead in his car in the parking lot in the city's northeast section. Court records state that Lars was found in the back of a Toyota near Virginia Avenue and Admiral Boulevard in Kansas City on January 13, with officers determining that the shooting had occurred close to the 500 block of Benton Boulevard. At that scene, police found 23 shell casings from two types of bullets. 8 were .45 caliber, and 15 were 9mm.   Was Tityana just an ordinary woman pushed beyond the brink to perform such a murderous act?   She had already seen injustice win with the still-unsolved deaths of her young siblings, and she didn't have enough trust in the system to properly avenge her brother's death.   She assumed the guilt of Lars and got in contact with someone called “Auntie” to arm herself with a .45 pistol, saying “I used to many on Bro!”    The fact that multiple gunshots were fired proves she was an amateur with a firearm. Thanks to witnesses who came forward and surveillance footage in the parking lot where the murder took place, authorities quickly identified Coppage. They arrested her for the murder, booking her into Jackson County Jail on a $200,000 bond.   Evidence was quickly collected against Coppage, and she did not deny the charges.   She insisted that she got justice for her dead brother, even going as far as to text his cell phone to assure him that she was sending his killer to him.   At the time, no formal evidence was collected, or investigations were pending towards Lars as the suspect, though he was armed and did drive the same, or very similar, truck seen at Jayson's murder scene. She admitted during questioning that she knew Lars would be in the parking lot when she shot him. However, Tityana initially claimed that the murder was accidental and that she only shot him in self-defense because he fired his weapon at her first. Coppage was spurred toward Lars by members of her community who seemed to indicate a shared but hushed knowledge of events that led to her brother's death.   The police weren't able to corroborate as much in their reporting. So all anyone seemed to know was that Lars may as well have been guilty and could have had his own criminal history.   Therefore, the extended family of the community assisted Coppage's vigilante act she grew up around. Coppage does not deny what she did or why and is charged with second-degree murder, which is murder without premeditation or planning.   By her admission, she fired her gun at the vehicle with Lars in it, but she claimed that he fired first and her weapon was meant for protection.   She was celebratory over his death, particularly over vengeance, meaning she went there assuming he was guilty and was armed to act. Coppage contacted Lars before the meeting to tell him she was coming to ask questions.   She claimed to call him to try and settle differences between him and her father, knowing that if she didn't take action, he absolutely would.   COPPAGE TEXTED HER DECEASED BROTHER AFTER KILLING LARS AS WELL. The message sent to Her brother's phone read: “I owe em that body,” according to an affidavit. This message and the ones sent to “Auntie” led authorities to file murder charges.   Rap artists DaBaby and 42 Dugg made public posts on Instagram voicing solidarity and have reached out to pay $20,000 each of her bond as support.   She is currently awaiting trial.   Jorge Porto-Sierra   Ok, so here we have someone that TECHNICALLY didn't kill anyone, but that wasn't for lack of trying.   When authorities responded to the scene at the Friendly Village Inn & Motel on U.S. Route 192 in Florida in 2018, witnesses recalled seeing Jorge shout, “I'm going to kill you, child molester,” as he drenched the property in gasoline with a cigarette in his hand.  Porto-Sierra then returned to the parking lot and attacked two individuals sitting in their car. After that, he rammed his Ford Focus into their vehicle and poured gasoline into it through an open window. Just as Porto-Sierra was preparing to set the car on fire, police arrived on the scene. He was quickly surrounded and told to surrender.   The 50-year-old Porto-Sierra admitted that he had planned to “barbecue all the child molesters on fire and kill them.” However, when police asked him why he didn't, Porto-Sierra claimed that the police had arrived too fast for him to do so.   Authorities soon discovered that at least two of the men Porto-Sierra targeted were indeed convicted, sex offenders. One man had been standing outside his room when Porto-Sierra leaped out of his car and launched into a tirade, prompting him to rush inside his room.   “They raped kids, they are all child molesters that all live here and deserve to die,” Porto-Sierra later said as he justified his actions to the police. While the Friendly Village Inn & Motel is indeed a popular place for convicted sex offenders (because it's far away from schools and playgrounds), and at least two of Porto-Sierra's targets were known sex offenders, the real-life vigilante still broke the law and thus found himself arrested for his actions.   As of 2020, Porto-Sierra is being held on no bond at the Osceola County Jail and charged with 4 counts of attempted murder.   André Bamberski Andre was born to Polish immigrants in France in the 1930s. He was in the thick of the war that affected him growing up. Later, Andre became a chartered accountant and married Danièle Gonnin, having two kids. However, at the time of the incident, Andre and Danièle were divorced, and the latter was married to Dieter Krombach, a doctor, in Lindau, Germany. Danièle initially told Andre that Dieter believed Kalinka died due to a heat stroke or the effects of a concussion from a few years prior. However, Andre wasn't so sure. Dieter had stated that on the morning of Kalinka's death, he had found her in bed, unresponsive; rigor mortis had already set in. However, Dieter tried to revive her by injecting her with a nervous system stimulant and two other stimulants. But that didn't work, and Kalinka was dead. The autopsy report read by Andre later showed that Kalinka had blood around her torn vagina. Inside, there was a whitish substance that was never tested. Besides injection marks on her arms, Kalinka had undigested food in her stomach. Experts later believed she died from asphyxiation from regurgitating her own food. All of this left Andre with only one theory: Dieter was responsible for the death. Andre believed Dieter raped and then killed Kalinka with an injection, possibly to keep her from talking about it. While the German prosecution closed the case, saying Kalinka died of natural causes, Andre didn't give up, following Dieter across Europe for years to bring him to justice. About a year after Kalinka's death, Andre went to Lindau, handing out fliers accusing Dieter of murder. He was arrested and then fined and sentenced in absentia. However, that didn't stop Andre. He then prodded the French authorities, eventually leading to Kalinka's body's exhumation; she was a French citizen. This time, it was revealed that her genitals had been missing since the autopsy, and there was no trace of them. Andre's work paid off when a French court convicted Dieter in absentia of violence, bringing on death without intention to do so, and sentenced him to 15 years. But with Germany refusing extradition, Dieter essentially remained a free man for many years. Then, in 1997, Dieter was convicted of raping a 16-year-old in his clinic. He received a two-year suspended sentence in addition to his license being revoked. But a couple of years later, Dieter moved around and worked in several clinics by providing a photocopy of his license as proof. Andre didn't give up, even hiring private detectives to find out what Dieter was up to. He said, “All my friends and family, including my father, told me to quit it at this point. They said, ‘You're not going to achieve anything.' But I'm a Slav, you see, and the Slavs are very emotional. I cried all the time when I thought about Kalinka. It was a question for me of moral duty. That was the most important thing: to get the truth.”   While Dieter received a 26-month prison sentence, he was released early, and Andre learned he was back to work yet again. Andre then resolved to bring Dieter to France in any way possible. He was in Bregenz, Austria, hoping to look for more information about Dieter in Scheidegg, Germany. Andre talked about kidnapping Dieter and eventually heard from Anton Krasniqi, who agreed to help him. In October 2009, Dieter was taken from his house by Anton and two other accomplices and left outside a building in Mulhouse, France, paving the way for Dieter's trial. While Dieter's pattern of drugging and raping women came to light, he was sentenced to 15 years behind bars. As for Andre, he admitted to knowing about the kidnapping plot but insisted he wasn't involved in the actual act. In June 2014, he was found guilty of ordering the kidnap and received a one-year suspended sentence. In the end, Andre was happy with the result. He believed that he had kept his promise to Kalinka about giving her justice. Regarding why Dieter would kill Kalinka, Andre said, “Kalinka had asked to move back to Toulouse, and to no longer stay with Krombach. She was about to escape from him: That could have been a motive. But one will never know. One can never know.” Andre quit his full-time job in 1999 to dedicate himself to bringing Dieter to justice. Through it all, he was supported by his partner (also called Danièle) for several years. Now in his 80s, Andre seems to live in Toulouse, France, and enjoying some much-needed time off.   This one is a DOOZY!    Drąsius Kedys was born on September 4, 1972, in Garliava, Lithuania. He and his former girlfriend Laimutė Stankūnaitė had a daughter in February 2004. Stankūnaitė was underage when she gave birth to Kedys' daughter. The couple split in 2006, and the parents got embroiled in a bitter custody battle. His former girlfriend, with the help of Andrius Ūsas, a politician and advisor to the former Speaker of the Seimas Viktoras Muntianas, obtained custody in November 2006. Kedys had visitation rights every other weekend, But later Stankunaite gave up her custody rights, giving them to the father. On November 29, 2008, Kedys submitted a formal complaint to the police, claiming Ūsas paid Stankūnaitė to sexually molest his daughter. In December 2008, Kedys obtained full custody of his daughter with no visitation rights for Stankūnaitė. The courts repeatedly confirmed that Stankūnaitė had no case to answer, thus dismissing Kedys' allegations against his former girlfriend as unsubstantiated. Nevertheless, the pre-trial investigation against Ūsas continued. In February 2009, Kedys further pressed accusations against Violeta Naruševičienė, Stankūnaitė's sister, claiming the former had participated in allowing men to molest her 4-year-old daughter. Finally, in July 2009, Kedys accused Jonas Furmanavičius, a district judge, and an individual known as Aidas of partaking in the molestation. All those people (except for Aidas) professed their innocence and accused Kedys of slander, criminal libel, and death threats. Kedys was frustrated with the apparent lack of progress in official investigations and convinced that the case was being deliberately stonewalled. So, he sent out 200 DVDs to Lithuanian politicians, media outlets, and law-enforcement agencies, featuring homemade video footage of his daughter's explicit testimony against three “uncles.” In addition, he promised to send the subtitled version to Members of the European Parliament. However, many sources criticized Kedys, who acted as the cameraman, for asking his daughter leading questions and heavily editing the film (it contained 50 segments filmed across nine occasions). On October 5, 2009, Furmanavičius and Naruševičienė were shot dead in Kaunas. Kedys became the prime suspect. On the same day, a national search of Kedys was announced, soon followed by an announcement of an international investigation, as he was thought to have left the country shortly after the murders. Kedys' friends Raimundas Ivanauskas and Eglė Barauskaitė were charged with accessory to murder.  The story caused an uproar in Lithuania, with much of the public siding with Kedys. In the public mind, the case was seen as a father's futile attempts to pursue justice and protect his daughter and being driven to desperate measures by anger at the injustice. Others questioned whether the killings were actually commissioned by Kedys himself. On April 17, 2010, at 6:49 a.m., after six months of a police search, a man fishing found Drąsius Kedys' body near Kaunas Reservoir. An autopsy concluded he had died between the evening of April 15 and the morning of the 16th. According to the official report, the cause of death was “choking on vomit” while being heavily intoxicated. However, his relatives were convinced that Kedys was murdered, pointing out wounds on his body. Kedys' relatives demanded a second opinion from independent experts. Finally, in April 2011, a report was received from the Swedish National Forensic Service confirming Kedys had died from alcohol and drug poisoning and that he choked on the contents of his own stomach. The Swedish report differed from the Lithuanian experts in determining “the injuries on the body appeared before his death” and that the “possibility of drowning is not excluded.” On April 24, Kedys was buried in Jonučiai cemetery. According to media reports, 6-10,000 people from across the country attended the ceremony. Ūsas, the main suspect in the pedophilia case, was officially charged with the sexual molestation of a minor. However, he was found drowned in a swamp in June 2010. The death was ruled an accident. Nevertheless, the court case against Ūsas continued, and the court found him innocent in November 2012.   Mirriam Rodriguez   Miriam's 20-year-old daughter mysteriously disappeared in 2012. Her daughter had been kidnapped and subsequently murdered, and several men were perpetrators of the crime. Dissatisfied with the Mexican justice system, Miriam decided to take matters into her own hands. To fool authorities and her daughter's kidnappers, Miriam changed her appearance as best she could and used fake identification to make it more difficult to trace her.  One of Miriam's first “victims” was a member of a Mexican cartel who was implicit in the kidnapping and murder of her daughter. She cornered him, held him at gunpoint, and told him, “If you move, I'll shoot you.” But she was just getting started. She eventually tracked down her daughter's killers one by one all across the country. But unfortunately, her vigilantism led to her ultimate downfall when multiple gunmen managed to kill her outside her home.  Becoming a vigilante against organized criminals is a considerable risk, but it was one that Miriam was willing to take to seek justice for her daughter.   Speaking of people standing up against gangs…   El Salvador's Mara Salvatrucha gang is better known as MS-13. Formed in Los Angeles in the 1980s, many members were deported for vicious crimes. However, several of them continued their criminal activity back home. The gang terrorized a nation plagued by a high poverty rate and a virtually helpless police force — until real-life vigilantes stepped up to help. Spanish for “Black Shadow,” Sombra Negra was first formed around the early 1990s due to El Salvador's authorities being glaringly overpowered by MS-13. Frustrated by the situation, Sombra Negra started targeting gang members for execution — especially MS-13 members. Sombra Negra members come dressed in black with bandanas over their faces. They patrol the streets in unlicensed vehicles and with tinted windows. And one of their primary missions is to capture MS-13 members — and make them “disappear.” As Sombra Negra has grown more powerful over the years, so have the legends of their brutal retribution against the gang members.   From sexual torture to dismemberment, the paramilitary group of vigilantes became more of a death squad than a traditional band of crimefighters. In El Salvador, it seemed that only extreme measures would stop MS-13. “Most of the victims were blindfolded, their hands or thumbs tied behind their backs, and they had received tiros de gracia (a coup de grâce), shots to the base of the skull at close range by weapons such as assault rifles and machine guns,” a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services report said.  From home invasions to sudden killings in the streets, Sombra Negra carries out its mission ruthlessly and describes it as a “social cleansing.” And some authorities are grateful. Even El Salvador's head of National Assembly Guillermo Gallegos has admitted: “Morally I support this type of expression because people are tired of the way of delinquency.” In the end, it's worth noting that many people have mixed feelings about real-life vigilantes. While they may sympathize with their motives in some cases, they may also find some of their choices reckless or unnecessarily dangerous. But there's no question that these vigilantes have left a massive impression on the world — for better or worse.   And there's another set of gang-fighting vigilantes…   Pablo Escobar needs little, if any, introduction. One of the most infamous drug lords in modern history, the Colombian kingpin ran a colossal cocaine empire that saw thousands of people killed. Yet, with corrupt authority figures in his pocket, Escobar's reign appeared resolute — until it wasn't. In the early 1990s, Escobar had two rival cartel members murdered when they visited him in an opulent prison (which he had built for himself). Fidel Castano, the other cartel's boss, was none too pleased. And so he helped form Los Pepes. Short for “Perseguidos por Pablos Escobar,” the paramilitary group welcomed “People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar.” Escobar was marked after he walked out of his prison in July 1992. At this point, even the U.S. government and CIA were aiding Los Pepes in their quest to find the kingpin. But unfortunately, Los Pepes also engaged in bloody bombings against Escobar that killed and injured civilians.   Some of these nearly killed their target, including a car bomb that injured Escobar's daughter. For more than a year, Los Pepes ruthlessly attacked anyone in Escobar's circle — from friends and relatives to public supporters and officials. Finally, it was in 1993 when they closed in on the man himself. After Los Pepes forced Escobar into hiding, Colombian intelligence intercepted a phone call from Escobar to his son. Now confident of his whereabouts, Colombian police and military forces headed for Escobar's newfound hiding place in the neighborhood of Los Olivos — ready for retribution after years of brutal violence in the country.  Whether Los Pepes members played an active role in killing him remains hotly contested, but one thing is sure: Without their vigilant quest to find Escobar, he would likely lead many more to their deaths. Ultimately, he was chased across rooftops and gunned down while on the run.   And lastly, what happens when an ENTIRE TOWN decides a lousy guy needs to die? It didn't take long for Ken McElroy to become the resident “bully” of Skidmore, Missouri. And considering his crimes, the “bully” label was putting things lightly. For years after he dropped out of school, he was accused of everything from theft and arson to child molestation and statutory rape. But despite being indicted 21 times, he dodged convictions at every turn. After McElroy raped a 12-year-old girl, he divorced his wife and married the child when she was 14 to avoid a statutory rape charge. When her parents objected, he shot their dog and burned down their house. And after he shot a farmer in 1976, he somehow produced two witnesses who claimed that McElroy was nowhere near the scene of the crime that day. Ken McElroy was a true terror for Skidmore residents, who wanted him removed immediately. McElroy's downfall was a long time coming, but it truly fell into motion in 1980 after he shot the town's elderly grocer in the neck. Though McElroy was charged with attempted murder and eventually convicted, he appealed the case and was released on bond.   Soon afterward, it seemed the entire town was present at a gathering on July 10, 1981, to discuss Ken McElroy. Though exactly what they said is unclear, there's no question that they decided McElroy had to go. Residents heard that McElroy had gone to the D&G Tavern for a drink. In a prime example of real-life vigilantes in action, the community walked to the bar to confront him. And with no warning, someone began shooting. Some accounts describe up to 50 vigilantes involved in the onslaught. In the end, McElroy was shot multiple times and struck by at least two firearms. He succumbed to the wounds in his truck. No one called an ambulance — or agreed to testify against another person in court. To this day, no one has ever been charged with his death.   Top 10 Vigilante Films https://screenrant.com/best-vigilante-films/
