News: criminal gangs in Latin America

This news show us how criminal gangs are out of control.
In Venezuela kidnapping is a popular way to earn money these days, because gangs force their families to sell homes and properties for their rasmon. It is horrible see the statistics, because now more than one person a day is kidnapped, also the real figure could be four times higher, because more of the kidnappings go unreported.

I don´t know how they can act like that, because for them it doesn´t matter if you are a child, a woman, an elder, a baby, or if you are poor, or rich. They know that everybody even poor people can drum up thousands of dollars just for pay the rasmon.
These types of gangs exist in almost all Latin America, like Honduras and Colombia. This last one, is very popular for the guerrillas and paramilitary groups.


I think that the goverment is very flexible with the law, and that´s why kidnappings are increasing these days.
The criminals know that their attitude willn´t be punished, because exsist corrupt policemen.
The courts have to be strict and need to create new laws, also need to supervise the fulfillment of the laws and every policemen. I understand that this could be difficult,
but if we want that this stops, and the people pay for their crimines, we must cooperate. The goverment needs to increase the security in the streets

I hope that this horrible big problem that concerns us as society, could change soon and not more kidappings, because all of us deserve to live with our families and friends and decide our future.


Take care.
