@gambitx4000 I agree, and I live in El Salvador btw.......here the churches just go on doing useless praying rallies to stop violence ¬¬....sorry, it hasn't worked. Instead of investing all the money their believers give them in order to set up a useful project to actually try to eradicate all this. Very few do, and usually are NGOs not churches.

In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don’t want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is our savior and our hope!

what are they saying at 2:10 vemos or huevo? cant really understand

[nubia503]

I don't understand how they say there's many arrest when most of the times police are involved in many of those crimes ... El Salvador has gone bad and it's a shame because my country wasn't like this before hopefully it changes pero sea como sea soy orgullosa de mi tierra el Salvador

ES FACIL ERADICAR Y LIMPIAR LA MIERDA DEL INODORO. SIMPLEMENTE LES FALTA PANTALONES AL GOBIERNO CORRUPTO Y UNA LEY QUE AMPARE LA PENA DE MUERTE .LASTIMA QUE LA IGLESIA CATOLICA ES PARTE DEL DESORDEN Y LA CORRUPCION EN LATINOAMERICA. YA QUE APENAS ESCUCHAN LA PALABRA PENA DE MUERTE Y SE VUELCAN A LAS CALLES A PROTESTAR COMO PUTAS RABIOSAS, PERO ESTOS TIPOS DE GENTE LO UNICO QUE FOMENTAN ES LA POBRESA , DESORDEN , ASESINATOS ETC ETC. YA BASTA DE INJUSTICIA NO SOY CATRACHO PERO ME INDIGNA .

Existe el salvador? hay mucha gente por todas partes del mundo, que creen que ese lugar es un centro de deportaciones/detenciones de vagos, criminales, tatuados localizado en guate mala. Saludos a guate mala y por favor ya compongan las cosas. Que lastima!
