The Pardon of the Honduran ex-president & drug lord and Facebook

One of our local stations posted this story on Facebook.

There was the usual laughing emojis but virtually every comment was negative:

"He must have bought trump's crypto"

"A felon pardoning a felon, how surprising."

"How big was the bribe?"


and this

"So let me get this right....if you are a poor fisherman transporting drugs to feed your family, you get blown to bits. But if you are someone of wealth and importance, you get pardoned? So much for being tough on crime and drug trafficking. What bs!!!"

The last comment I will say there is still doubt these fishing boats were running drugs but you getthe picture. I hope this "bs" is getting through to people.
