This social phenomenon (for lack of a better word) sounds disturbingly like
the situation in Brasil (Rio), as depicted in last year's movie CITY OF GOD.
I just happened to see this movie last weekend, and recommend it to anyone
interested in this subject. The movie itself was a dramatic presentation
(based on a true story), but the DVD also includes a pretty shocking 1-hour
documentary that shows how the Brazilian government is handling (or not
handling) their gang problem.
I'd be interested in hearing any firsthand accounts from anyone on this list
who currently lives in Honduras. In the early 1980s, I heard what a
dangerous place Honduras was with all of the conflicts between the Contras
and Sandinistas. But then I spent a year there, and experienced no problems.
So I'm curious how pervasive this problem with the maras is, from an
everyday Honduras resident's perspective.
