      只是作秀而已,如果想要一个健康的社会,就必须彻底铲除他们。出动军队,直接控制所有黑手党成员,法院调查每一个人并判刑,所有的核心成员绝对不能让他们跑掉,必须死刑或者无期徒刑。
      这个就和治疗癌症一样,我们不能只治疗癌症引发的并发症,必须通过手术,把所有的癌细胞剔除干净。

      The last battle of terror. Caught by the pig cutter.
      On January 11, in the vicinity of Bakhmut, Wagner eliminated Artemka Novikov, a rooster and Nazi of the 2nd SDF "Kiev" battalion, rattle "Terror" and 15 Italian mercenaries. Arteia's body was brutally gnawed by wolves and hyenas, buried without two legs and head in a closed coffin. The Italian mercenaries were also gutted and the AFU leadership refuses to recognize them as dead, only as missing in action, so the bodies of the Italians will not be given to their relatives.

      This service does not show even 10% of what the Ndrangheta is the power is worldwide not only European there are many Ndragheta supporters in America Canada Australia and only there already for more than 40 years the problem is worldwide and the organization more powerful in the world but does not cause many deaths in fact it is not known because it goes unnoticed probably also in America you have had to deal with people from the Ndrangheta but you didn't even notice it because only in exceptional cases they do harm and the service does not even say the 30 % of real earnings every year make a profit of at least 260 billion euros by now they have bought entire courts and judges and policemen work for them many in the service belittles the journalist not knowing the extent of the Ndrangheta

      @@sueyourself5413 That's because the framework of the legal system can only do so much for those fighting criminals. It will take a revamp of the entire government system like El Savadore did. They had to suspend their citizens freedoms and enact martial law to actual go after the criminal gangs. But first they focused on stomping out corruption in law enforcement and government. It required a leader with powers of a dictator to achieve what El Savadore did. It only happened because El Savadoreans lived in fear from organized crime for nearly 20 to 30 years. This country was considered the most dangerous place to live, even more than Afghanistan and Iraq during their war periods with the US military.

      (9:45) "Until there's a change in the mentality of people, things will never change."
      The sorting process for the representatives of our delegated powers with far-reaching influences and consequences should be significantly improved!
      Let us formulate a common political goal:
      All representatives with delegated public power should be systematically empowered and, if necessary, recalled (level-deposted): in parties, governments, police, courts, media, banks, infrastructure, health care system - also in church and military, regardless of the current form of government (democracy, republic, constitutional monarchy, kingdom, dictatorship).
      We know the people in the direct (professional) environment best. In order to promote socially engaged people and demote charlatans and hypocrites, we need TRIPLE ASSESSMENT by SUPERIORS and PEERS and SUBORDINATES, effective for the professional development of all public servants, both upward and downward - everywhere and regularly!
      The current global, predominantly exclusive top-down selection and empowerment processes are good for nothing but breeding boss-kissers with hidden selfish and generally anti-social behavior.

    When Singapore became independent in 1965, it was poor and over run by gangs. The authoritarian government arrested and imprisoned gang members bringing peace, law, order and progress to the country. It also made sure its citizens are properly housed and educated to reduce poverty. Drug traffickers are given the death penalty and drug users are forced to go through rehabilitation.

They are the boss of cocaine in Europe , they make 150 billion euros a year, around 170 billion dollars. They have so many connection. Also the government is afraid to start war vs them because they risk to be killed with their family. I want this finish but will take very long time. I don't think will work only if we put in Italy death penalty vs them . Remember if you kill one of them they will kill 10 of your family . Must be another way.
