Related to the above: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/id ... 32c7b9468a

Arturo Suárez says he was beaten by guards as soon as he arrived at El Salvador’s notorious Cecot prison. When he regained consciousness - his glasses smashed - everything was blurred, he says, but he heard the greeting clearly.

"Welcome to hell. Welcome to the cemetery of living men. The only way you leave here is dead."

Arturo says the person speaking was the jail’s director, Belarmino García.

Cecot - the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism - was designed for the mass incarceration of El Salvador’s most violent and dangerous gang members, a symbol of President Nayib Bukele's hardline approach to the wave of murders and extortion that had terrorised the country.

Hit in the base of the neck. Speaking with my first aider head on, it looked grim.

I'd be willing to say that how quickly he could be got to A&E could make the difference as to whether he gets up again.

The usual "thoughts and prayers" shit from the Septics.
It's a bit more than 'shot at'.
Someone shot at him, and they hit him.

I don't see what you're getting at, unless it's the usual linguistic pedantry this forum is riddled with.

I'm afraid I can't find a scrap of sympathy.

I wasn’t looking, but accidentally saw the full video in what I thought was just a news report and fuck me, if he survives that it’ll be a miracle. It looked terrifyingly bad.

Also, I would strongly urge everyone to be very careful on social media because it’s genuinely horrific and you don’t want to see it. I would be delighted to un-see it if I could.

I wasn't looking either, but I'm guessing that we saw the same thing.

Even if professionals jumped on him before he hit the floor, I'm not convinced it'd help.

Why would a gun nut take out this bloke and not a liberal or non white politician?
Was the motivation for Trump's attempted assassination ever revealed? (Just curious, I'm not constructing a conspiracy).

The would-be assassin from the golf course incident is currently involved in jury selection for his trial, and will be representing himself in court. So we'll get to find out from that one, at least.

Motive still unknown, and likely to stay that way.
