Prison officials at the Guayaquil Litoral Penitentiary say more violence is possible following Tuesday’s riot that left 30 dead and at least five beheaded. Another 48 were reported injured. “We still lack control of parts of the facility and further violent can still happen,” police commander Fausto Buenaño said early Wednesday morning. [[,,,] In comments to a Guayaquil radio station, an unnamed police captain described the scene as “horrible beyond belief” [...] My people were overcome by the carnage and some vomited at what they saw,” he said.

Comments:

The root cause is Americans who use. You did this. You caused sorrow to the poor. It is time to stop. Take the drugs budget and give it to the poor today.

It would have been nice to know this prison is in Ecuador. Given the array of weapons the prisoners had, it is likely that people inside the prison were paid to look the other way while weapons were smuggled in. With all due respect to OP, giving money to the poor doesn't solve their problems, nor does it solve the drug problem. The problem is the U.S. tolerance of drug abuse, starting with marijuana (a gateway drug), and continuing up to heroin. The only solution to the drug problem is to dry up demand. I freely admit I don't have a clue how to do that, but without demand, there is no need for supply.

I was going to say the same thing #1. I guess these people just assume we know where these places are located. Personally, I've never heard of Guayaquil. Sounds like the name of a drug in a tv ad.

I knew where Guayaquil and Cuenca are. Large expat communities in both. Ecuadorian prisons are not a place you wanna be. Like in Mexico, prison is hellish, Lord of the Flies type punishment. Imprisoned drug gang members slaughtering other imprisoned drug gang members. It has happened a few times in Ecuador and also Mexico. Makes the world news occasionally. Pretty sure however the guy sawing off another guys head is to blame for it, not some random junky in Time Square.

Um, ‘beheading’ has been a cultural cornerstone in the Southern/Central American region for ohhhh 800 or 900 years. Please explain how WE are the cause of cultural deprivation and deviance towards violence? Class tells, and so does culture.

An American citizen trapped in Kabul, Afghanistan, recently spoke about receiving a "bogus" generic visa document from the U.S. State Department, which he said was sent out to thousands of others. David Fox, who runs a marketing firm in Kabul, told ABC News on Thursday that he recently tried to travel back to the U.S. but was unable to do so because of the massive crowds of people at Kabul's airport following the Taliban's takeover of the country.

Oh boy, Lara Logan appeared for an interview with Tucker Carlson and shouts a big trumpet. In essence, Ms. Logan points out the current situation in Afghanistan is exactly the outcome those controlling the Biden administration want. There is a benefit to someone or some group in the current outcome; because if there wasn’t, the outcome would be different. I happen to agree with this perspective because there are so many options that could have been taken before this point in the crisis was reached. We have seen this play out before [Bathtub Principle] where a crisis is created because the crisis has a purpose.

Ecuador is facing one of its worst ever economic crises this year according to the Central Bank of Ecuador (ECB). In projections presented last week, ECB says this crisis could be worse than the one seen in 1999 when the country’s currency collapsed. The ECB had said in January—before the virus outbreak and the plunge in the price of crude, Ecuador’s main export—that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would likely grow 0.7% this year (snip) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects a contraction of the country’s GDP by 6.7% in 2020.

For many months now, being “fully vaccinated” meant that you had to have two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine, but now, according to Fauci, you’re not fully vaccinated unless you get the booster shot. “It is likely, for a real complete regimen, that you would need at least a third dose,” Fauci told The Atlantic in an exclusive interview.(Snip)“I’ve made it clear that my opinion has always been that I believe that a third-shot booster

Obama stated that the crisis at the Del Rio border is “heartbreaking” and that the system, overall, “is dysfunctional.” “It’s the reason I proposed comprehensive immigration reform. It’s the reason Joe Biden proposed it during his administration, and it’s something that is long overdue,” Obama stated, according to GMA. The former president went on to say the situation at Del Rio is a reminder that more work needs to be done and that President Biden understands the situation better than anyone. “As big-hearted as he is,

Post offices nationwide will begin to see some delays in mail service beginning on Friday as part of the postmaster general’s new plan to cut costs and save money. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced the 10-year plan in the spring, which outlined new investments in technology, training and fleets of delivery vehicles. The USPS will implement the new service standards Friday, which could lead to longer transit times for some long-distance first-class mail and first-class packages. Shorter post office hours will also affect delivery times(snip) The changes are not expected to affect better than 90% of periodicals and 60% of first-class mail, USPS spokesperson Kim Frum told NPR.

But not far into it, Behar steered the conversation away to instead complain that Democrats Joe Manchin [WV] and Kyrsten Sinema [AZ] were actually responsible for “destroying the country,” and Biden’s fledgling performance.Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin all stayed on-topic, unwilling to criticize Biden.

The Hill, which often serves as a mouthpiece for Democrat press releases, has written an article stating that “Democrats see Harris as a major player in midterms.” When it comes to Harris’s moribund reputation, Dems want us to think of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead but saving Harris is more like Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein and “Abby Normal’s brain.” Kamala’s lack of national viability made itself known during the Democrat primaries in 2019 when Harris dropped out without even breaking the 4% barrier in the polls and with zero delegates.

During the campaign speech, Biden, 77, described how children used to play with his blond leg hairs in the swimming pool while telling a story about his time working as a lifeguard. Well, with that disgusting video we found out about Joe’s hairy legs but it seems that at least his hands appear to look less hairy back in January when he got his first vaccine shot.
