>That is perhaps the most recent and dramatic case of a solution to gun crime being found.

We can't apply the El Salvador solution because what about the human rights of the violent criminals?!

What's strange is that I have never heard a single "human rights expert", humanitarian lawyer, government, NGO, bureaucrat, or global body say a single word about the flagrant and far more wide spread abuses of the human rights of people who should have the basic right to live unmolested by criminals and under a government system that provides reasonable justice. Not a single one. Turns out that none of them are actually concerned with human rights abuses in the slightest bit, they are concerned only with how human rights abuses can be leveraged for their own gain.

Because those "humanitarian" lawyers, bureaucrats and NGO activists, don't live in high crime areas they advocate for, they instead live in some of the nicest, cleanest, greenest, homogenous, quietest neighbourhoods, suburbs or gated communities that (taxpayer) money can buy.

They virtue signal for open borders, second chances and human rights for criminals, ONLY as long is it's not negatively impacting their own backyard, but try to enter their gated communities without their consent and you see them suddenly believing in borders and law enforcement by force. Try building a DMV, unemployment office, or refugee housing center in their neighborhood and see how they turn into the most harcore NIMBYs ever. They want to write cheques that only other people have to cash. "Rules for thee but not for me." Champagne socialists.
