Videos showed thick black smoke billowing out from the facility, from where earlier this month armed men freed the prisoners.....comments from gang alliance head Jimmy "Barbeque" Cherizier were recorde and distributed via a rambling 7-minute audio message shared on messaging platform WhatsApp.
"Don't you have any shame?" said Cherizier, directing his remarks at politicians who he said were looking to join the council. "You have taken the country where it is today. You have no idea what will happen," he added.
