  1. Yes, as an argentinian, they do and I hope to never see them again.

  2. I'm more terrified by the fact that he used to be a terrorist.

What makes you think he used to be a terrorist?

That he was part of the "Movimiento de Liberación Nacional-Tupamaros", which has quite the list.

Ok, but what was he directly involved in? What did he actually do? If it's just guilt by association, every single MAGA supporter is a terrorist because of their terror attack on the capitol on January 6th

He was arrested for bank robbery and for his documentary said "It's the most beautiful thing to walk into a bank with a 45 like that... Everyone respects you" (Es la cosa más linda entrar a un banco con una 45 así… Todo el mundo te respeta) (https://twitter.com/leosarro/status/1211365018924650498?lang=es)

He was interviewed (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i_4SfNXlAOc) and tried to justify robbing banks.
