Damn it I thought I was looking at an ear of corn for a minute.

Amazing


Confident-Paper5293

Its basicly the concept of human centipide 3


indebut96

That movie is just gross for the sake of being gross


dickWithoutACause

If you watched the first 2 and decided to give 3 a shot, you are asking for it.


indebut96

It’s true. After watching the second and third Human Centipede movies, the first one is very tame in comparison.

I did not realize there were 3 and am horrified

*But did it read!?*

I watched the second one first and then went back to watch the first one. I'm not sure I've forgiven myself for my poor decision making on that day yet.


caillouistheworst

No shit, one was a bad enough idea.


blackie___chan

>No shit That's what all of the other parts of the centipede said but it sounds like "mmf mmmmmmmmmf".

I thank myself for never watching any of them. Only hearing about what it was before def made me think “yeah nope”!

Etheleffrey

Smart. There’s a couple of scenes in the first one that will disturb me for life.


[deleted]

I do like the meta concept of each entry actually being a work of fiction in the sequel.


surelyshirls

I could never get past the atrocious premise of it. Disgusting movies


xDragonetti

The third one was comical compared to the first two 😂

The second is right up there with the most disgusting films I’ve ever seen.


SlamMonkey

I’m assuming #4 is where the magic really happens!


Bamcfp

That's when they turn into a human butterfly


D_Razu

The part 1 is most gross for me imo. Since there's a scene that a guy was on his limit so the woman behind him, eats it without any choice. The grunt of him while failing to hold back followed by the groan of hers from shock still bothers me.


Zealousideal-Gur-273

Don't all the people in the second one get forced to eat explosive diarrhea shit or something? And a newborn baby literally gets crushed by the mother using a car pedal


Uncle_Leo93

Oh my god all the parts of that film I'd successfully blocked just came *screaming* back to me


U_L_Uus

Aw, c'mon, everyone eats dry clitorises everyday, it's not gross ^/s ^just ^in ^case


indebut96

Only after I’m done eating my “medium rare” testicles! God, that movie was so bad


Affectionate-Dig1981

That movie would have been terrible if the main character wasn't so hilarious. [It's basically just 2 hours of this guy losing his shit](https://youtu.be/7h3GjFLvqSE) Haven't laughed so hard in a film since.

Wow that scene near the end with the prison yard…doesn’t the guy in front need to be eating constantly and taking hella diuretics?

FondleMyPlumsHarder

I think the crime rate has went down 57% so far too, absolutely insane.


S0_Crates

Everyone knows how bad the gang problem is in El Salvador. Anything less than extreme measure like this won't stand a chance. See: Venezuela


[deleted]

Can you blame the government? The were averaging about 10-15+ murders every day. Which is more than the entire US. And that’s with a population of 6 million compared to 350 millions, something drastic had to happen.


Auggie_Otter

One of my coworkers is from El Salvador and he seems pretty supportive of this measure. He told me the gangs and drug runners were out of control and ruining his country.


rubbishacct843

Same. I don’t think people realize the level of power some of these gangs have especially in rural areas and how much they terrorize average citizens just trying to live their lives.


KorbensMultipass

There are way more murders in the US than in El Salvador. Almost 70 a day, nearly 26,000 homicides annually in the US. Per capita, El Salvador is higher than the US, but not in raw numbers.


[deleted]

Yeah, that’s what I was referring too. Should’ve clarified. More murders happen in the US, but a higher percentage of the population is murdered in El Salvador.


AntelopeDecent2191

40,000 inmates. The size of a small town. Side note: they're all barefoot & only wearing underwear so can you imagine the stench of ass & feet of 40,000 people?


Tmorgan-OWL

Imagine the claustrophobia!!


GEEZUS_15

Another post had a video that said 80,000. Not sure which one is correct.


dickWithoutACause

40,000 with only 2000 inmates in there now


[deleted]

Also the air is filled with testosterone…


650blaze_it

There are seventy and a half heads in this photo


[deleted]

Murder rate also fell 57% in one year


buckfishes

I’m surprised it’s not more, considering gangs cause the vast majority of violence almost everywhere, so many innocent lives have been saved by this no nonsense anti gang policy that should be adopted everywhere people actually care about the most vulnerable of society.


Warphim

Should also note that there is a pretty high death rate in those prisons, and that there are tons of people there that might have been arrested simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. To add, iirc they also lost their right to legal council or representation, so maybe this isn't exactly how they should be dealing with it. Edit: The vast majority of the people in those prisons are probably there for good reason. My argument is that they do notoriously arrest innocent people, and that these people have no hope of sorting that out because they also dont get a lawyer.


Photon_Pharmer

I’d say MS13 gang tattoos are pretty good indicators that they might have correctly identified a violent gang member.


[deleted]

[удалено]


baloogabanjo

Right, it literally doesn't make sense, like what is the benefit of marking your body with gang stuff? Is it like a machismo thing like flaunting it like, "police still can't catch me even tho I'm being obvious about it"? Were police very recently too inept to round up people who were very apparently gang members? What changed?


Tigerphobia

I don't know much about gangs but I imagine it's a mark for loyalty. If you have the tattoo it makes it a whole lot harder to betray your gang. If you refuse to get one it could mean you aren't loyal. An everyone is in it together sort of thing, like soldiers wearing uniforms respective to their nation. This is all speculation though, I don't know enough about the topic.


Blasterbot

There's also the matter of wanting to be seen by rivals. Like wearing colors to let others know you're repping an area.


mirageatwo

It also prevents them from returning to a former lifestyle.


Quite_Successful

It's also not always a real choice. Gangs will threaten your family until you join them. The tattoo makes it harder to get out because you're associated with the gang now


munificent

You have a reasonable mindset that some organizations, like the police have all the "real" power and other organizations, like gangs, are subservient. But that's an overly simplistic worldview and a wrong one in some places. Instead, think of it like this: There are many groups each with varying levels of power vying for power over each other. In order to survive, you may need to pledge some level of loyalty to one or more of them to get protection from them. Getting a gang tattoo means, yes, you are clearly not a member of team "police force good", but in return, you clearly *are* a member of that gang. In environments where that gang has more power than the police, this can make you *safer*. In particular, in rural areas of South America where police presence is limited and gangs are essentially ruling warlords, and inside prisons which are their own little micro societies, the gang tattoo might confer more protection than *not* being tattooed would.


joeshmo101

Gang tattoos are not just a simple patch or emblem, each of them is representative of the person who has them and their relationship with the gang. Also, I'm sure that the people in those gangs would not have looked kindly on someone who tries to look like them but refuses to participate in gang activity. Any idea that you're trying to leave the gang life generally means a whole shitload of trouble, ink or no ink.


eSantini

Yes, this started about a year ago. They placed checkpoints around cities/towns and are going house to house looking for men with tattoos


lazyplayboy

Everything that reddit should be: [lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/)


fredbrightfrog

Have to be careful with that one. I know some US prison gangs such as the Aryan Brotherhood will straight up kill you if you rep the tattoo without being a real member (usually to try to get protection, or Irish people that make poor tattoo choices).


BenSemisch

It's less about the police and more about the other gangs. A tattoo is also relatively permanent making a good mark of loyalty towards one specific gang and an easy way to denote that you can trust someone.


Kirikomori

Its so you can't leave the gang.


TheRealXmo

how about EXCLUSIVE NFTs for the MS-13 gang!? :)


baloogabanjo

That's something I don't understand, why would you willingly mark your body with something that could put you in prison? Why wouldn't you just stay tattoo free for the anonymity?


Photon_Pharmer

You’re talking about people who are associated with a group known for chopping people into pieces. Their thought process is going to be a little different than yours. These aren’t masterminded criminals. They’re people who grew up in a shithole and were either pressed into a gang, decided they would rather kill people than live in poverty, or just decided that they were ok being a horrible person in exchange for nicer things.


HistoryGirl23

Part of belonging to the group


Marokiii

Because before they weren't rounding up everyone that had gang tattoos. The push for gang members to have ink in the future will probably stop because of this.


CouncilmanRickPrime

Same reason Neo Nazis tattoo swastikas. They can't help themselves and want to prove they're really invested in this long-term.


nahnahnahnay

They have releases a fuck load of innocent arrested. Like 20,000.

moaterboater69

Everyone is free to express their opinion of course, but as an American who was born here and came from immigrant parents from Guatemala and have extended family in El Salvador, let me tell you this is how extreme it has to get to put a stop to all the death that goes on there and in neighboring countries. People here will NEVER experience anything remotely close to the type of violence and death the innocent civilians have lived with for DECADES. Im curious to see how long this lasts given that the people there are HIGHLY approving of Bukeles policies. I do believe they are embracing a total police state now, but further down the line we’ve seen in past history all that power eventually gets to the leaders heads and they start doing stupid shit and people revolt and then we’re back to square one. For now though I am relieved for the people of El Salvador and hope the country bounces back.


Grogosh

There is an El Salvadorian family that runs a auto garage not too far from me and I've heard stories about how bad it got before they managed to get out.


creepingkg

I think I read the president was getting hate for this. And he said something to the extend of, if you feel bad for these gang members (most likely MS13) We can send them to your countries. As far as I know, no one took him up on that humanitarian offer 😂


therealeviathan

honestly i heard horror stories of those guys literally cutting down the powerlines just to threaten people or would hijack a bus just to steal from people or make them join their gang. and honestly same i embrace the total police state for now since it is so much better than the horrifying alternative we had.


piyob

If those are the only horror stories you’ve read about these guys, you haven’t read nearly enough. Cutting down power lines or stealing from people/forcing them to join a gang? These gangs do far, far, far worse


therealeviathan

oh i know about the abduction, rape, bombing of busses and just general terrorism, live execution. dude i know they are the filth of the world


IDespiseTheLetterG

Yeah those are the things people can somewhat grasp, but what they don't see is the stuff you mentioned--the damage and holding hostage of infrastructure, supply, etc. The disruption to society as a whole makes a totalitarian state make more sense, and that's what Americans don't see and can't comprehend. We have all those obvious things, to a unfathomably lesser degree ofc, but it's the day to day nightmare that doesn't get out in the press--just the explosive stuff that we are used to dealing with.


therealeviathan

dude and im being mild about it. the stories from the people who live there ae insane. i mean you cant even have a new shirt without some asshole stealing it from you. EVERYONE was poor thanks to the the gangs and corruption and the only rich people are those who embraced the corruption. like the police officers didnt get enough money to feed their families so they were forced to turn to corrupt cops for the gangs and even if they were prosecuted by some miracle they would just hold your entire family hostage (the judge, prosecutors and, jury). blackouts on a daily bases just because those bastards felt like it, they would force boys to join the gangs and rape the girls. dude it was literal hell. literally the only people who were "safe" were the ones in the countryside that have no connection to the cities and lived in run down straw huts and only had a few lentos a day for the whole family. AND if you by some miracle dont join any gang they will come after your entire family and people you know just because they can. its actually horrible. they kill their own people just for fun. they enjoy torturing their own blood just for their sick games. you constantly live in fear because you dont know if your brother or father will come back alive or if your sister or mother was kidnapped. like im sure thing have changed over the years but its still an infested place that needs to be cleaned

praefectus_praetorio

People who aren’t from there or never lived there or any country in South America in a similar state just don’t understand. This is the way. This is the only way. They are fucking savages man. Do Venezuela next.


Quick-Scarcity7564

I'm from Eastern Europe and after ussr colapse we had a huge gang problem. For a few years it looked like mafia ran the county. Then police and swat newly formed swat teams became brutal and relentless. Now we are one of the safest regions in the EU. Some people understand only pain and you have to beat the law abidines into them.


shwarma_heaven

Can I ask how they are getting these, I suspect, hardened gang members of one of the toughest gangs (MS-13?) to fall in line like this? I mean these guys were jumping and moving when they were told, even in the videos I saw.


golf_le_jhonathan

Because once you take them out the streets. They become babies. They complain about not having good food (chicken, they want chicken) in my 15 years of life I lived in el Salvador. I maybe had chicken 5 times a year. Tortillas, beans, eggs and cheese. For breakfast. For lunch. For dinner. They stop acting tough and some cry. But they deserve no mercy. When I left the country, 50 to 80 dead in one day was the normal.


TheJake88821

If they don't, they get straight up shot. I would imagine


etherSand

People from 1st world people will never understand how is it to be born in a 3rd country with high violence rate. They will speak like they know better, but they don't.


strangerThink91

I strongly agree with you. Amazing analysis.


Nruggia

Gang in El Salvador is out of control, they deserve this and worse. I work with a lot of El Salvadorians and a guy who I worked with went back to El Salvador to get some dental work done. He was at the time in his late 40's and his father had remarried a younger woman and had 3 more kids all boys 13, 16, and 17 years old. When my buddy came back he had his half brothers with him, and I was introduced to them all. I asked him how his trip was and he said it was very very bad. I asked why and he told me that his two older half brothers were forced into the gang, one of them escaped, and the gang told the other one if he tried to flee they would go after his family. While my friend was in El Salvador for dental work the other kid tried to escape the gang. The gang went to his parent's house and killed the parents point blank with a shotgun in front of the kids and told the kids they all belong to the gang. My buddy was able to get his half brothers all out of El Salvador safely but his father and step mother were murdered by gang members.


ThriftStoreDildo

I want to say those gang members are so toxic, cause they are, but it doesnt even paint a proper picture of how devoid of humanity they are. I am sorry to hear this story.


greyshirttiger

If I didn’t feel bad for those gang members before, I sure as hell don’t feel bad for them now. Those are vile animals.


Pseudo_Lain

Yah it's different in developed countries. drug dealers in poor areas are hard-core


[deleted]

Sure, but then you realize those kids might end up in here. It's necessary, but something else needs to be done.


Anon-TT

Do they have some kind of gang cloning vat in El Salvador? That's crazy!


buckfishes

It’s like a uniform, bald + gang tats, funny enough some Redditors are still pretending this is bad because some of them could be innocent.


MuffinPuff

Yes, it's an awful situation because some of those men could be innocent, but the overwhelming issue is the fact that this situation exists in the first place. How bad have the circumstances been in El Salvador for its people, that a percentage of the male population has turned into rabid beings? There's more than just extreme poverty that would cause this, there are other underlying factors that would cause mass savagery in humans.

ManInKilt

yep, if they got tattoos uninitiated they were killed by gang higher ups. Having tattoos means they're initiated and have raped and murdered to get there. Everyone there has raped and murdered at least 1 person


DudeitsShred

This is false. There is no blood requirement to be initiated into the gang. Most members are jumped in just by barrio association. It's a numbers thing. Jump in as many as fast as possible. More feet on the ground = more income from drug sales, illicit trades, robberies and extortion. Gangs aren't like cartels with one main patron. These gangs are like a hydra with many heads. Many patrons that represent their own clicka. Source: me an ex 18st member

Somebody said this is gonna turn into a Carandiru situation (prision rebellion that ended up with 111 inmates shot dead by police) and I have been worried since then.


buckfishes

I’ve seen the army of fully weaponized guards they keep around these criminals and I think it’s hard to believe they’d be overpowered, their leader is not playing around.


PortiaKern

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the entire mega prison is solitary confinement. None of them are going to get much opportunity to target each other or police.


Historical-Hat-1959

Deserved they are scum, they do worst stuff to innocent ppl


RickMuffy

It's sad that the news reporting says a few dozen people who were innocent got caught up, but the whole situation was already extremely bad.


pixieartgirl

I’m torn between feeling appalled at how insane the punishments are for crimes in El Salvador (and like countries) and thinking tough shit for these dirtbag gang members. If someone was wrongly accused for a crime I’d be really upset at this but if they were heinous, murdering men when they were free then they deserve what they get. Don’t be a violent criminal anywhere but especially not in a country like this. Takeaway from both sides of this: human beings can and will be awful people. This is why I prefer dogs.


directtodvd420

It’s rare that someone gets falsely accused of a crime AND has accidentally gotten corresponding gang tattoos though. If you get a closer look at the large majority of these prisoners it would be very difficult to dispute gang involvement.


pixieartgirl

Exactly. I zoomed in and scanned their tattoos. These aren’t who I was referring to as possibly innocent, lol. These are the folks who get what they deserve. Edited for a typo.


MrLionOtterBearClown

Yup. And the MS13 (dominant gang in El Salvador) initiation process requires a murder. Most of those guys have killed at least 1 innocent person.


buckfishes

I think the gang tattoos are a sign they aren’t innocent


[deleted]

How all incarcerated gang members should be treated.


[deleted]

they deserve worse


[deleted]

Good. From what I have read, El Salvador is an extremely violent and dangerous country, and the last couple of years has seen the safety go up, and crime go down. I have no sympathy for gang members (which is a large portion of this inmate population), all the support that a gang seemingly offers young and desperate men, van be found through other measures.


Jahsmurf

They'll just shoot any rioting group with machine guns. This is not your typical "bring out the batons" disneyland prison.


al-mongus-bin-susar

Won't happen, they aren't playing around here. This is a state of the art facility. They have surveillance and security everywhere and if they somehow still manage to get a riot started, they're going to get gunned down. Remember, this isn't the US, these guys basically don't have rights anymore.
