Bukele declared in a speech that force, not just education or jobs, is needed to stop hardened criminals, pointing to El Salvador's dramatic drop in homicides from 53 per 100,000 in 2018 to 1.3 in 2025 through mass gang arrests and a mega-prison. His words gained traction online following Mexican troops' killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel boss Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes on February 22, which sparked roadblocks, arson, and at least a dozen deaths across 20 states. While supporters push Mexico to copy his model, critics highlight human rights concerns like arbitrary detentions amid his ongoing state of emergency.

Key Takeaway

As Mexico grapples with cartel violence after leader El Mencho's death, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele reminded security forces that no government is powerless against criminals.

Ghene, an Arsenal fan, tweeted during the 2025-26 title race that Kepa Arrizabalaga winning the Premier League would leave De Gea with little to show, despite Kepa's Champions League medals but no domestic title yet.

Key Takeaway

An Arsenal supporter cheekily posted that Kepa just needs one Premier League win to outshine David de Gea. United fans quickly fired back with trophy photos from 2013.

Former Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy, acquitted in 2023 of rape and assault charges from six women, has become a key example in online discussions questioning a TikTok video by Mirabel, who alleged a brutal rape in her Ogun State apartment. Neighbors disputed her account, noting no screams, no break-in, and her quick hospital discharge after a claimed suicide attempt, prompting police investigation. Mendy lost his career peak at 28, with his club suspending him, sponsors dropping him, and now at 31 he plays for Polish side Pogon Szczecin after stints in France. The conversation stresses believing victims while demanding proof to protect the innocent, as seen with cases like Mason Greenwood and Karim Benzema.

Key Takeaway

Benjamin Mendy went from Manchester City stardom to prison cell, only to be fully cleared of all charges—now his story echoes in doubts over a Nigerian woman's rape claim.

The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, linked to home invasions, gang clashes, extortion, and drugs across Latin America, has built a small network in Utah's Salt Lake and Utah counties.

Law enforcement in Salt Lake City spots dozens of Tren de Aragua members turning up in street crimes and violence, a trend that started in early 2024.
