TrackerFF on Dec 14, next [—]. Used to date a girl from Honduras Tegucigalpa , and heard some real horror stories about the day-to-day crime. One day a gang knocked on her parents door they owned an apartment and pretty much gave them a 2-day notice to get out.
They packed their stuff, and left. Their senior neighbor did not - she ended up getting killed. Suffice to say, we never visited Honduras - but it's pretty surreal to know that this is the everyday stuff a lot of people go through, in Central America. One day everything is normal, the next day you're a refugee, just like that - and there's no justice in sight, because that would mean getting yourself or your family killed.
It's worth mentioning that the violence in Honduras is, in no small part, part of the US State Department's bipartisan foreign policy from which we benefit.
Fast fashion, which Americans consume, is enabled by the precarious situations we've foist upon the Hondurans by destabilizing their government, and installing leadership sympathetic to our colonial interests.
Your ex-girlfriend's uncle died for my t-shirt. Army School of the Americas arrived with troops at the home of the president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, and forced him at gunpoint onto a plane bound for Costa Rica. An interim president was appointed by his political opponents who was quickly legitimized by United States. Let me emphasize this one more time.
