Topics
Danny: 本期Patreon付费内容包含对在伯利兹与黑帮成员夜间在酒吧闲聊的记者的采访，以及一些实况拍摄的素材，展现了伯利兹犯罪的真实情况。采访对象包括记者和犯罪分子，内容涵盖大型犯罪故事、实况拍摄素材和迷你剧集。 Danny: 贩毒集团在伯利兹无处不在，并且活动频繁，对当地社会治安造成严重威胁。他们像黑社会一样，活跃在街头，随时可能发动袭击。 John: 伯利兹帮派冲突的武器装备随着时间的推移不断升级，从冷兵器到枪支，再到更先进的武器。他加入帮派是为了自保，并非出于个人意愿，当时他需要保护自己和社区免受其他帮派的袭击。帮派冲突的原因既包括地盘争夺，也包括个人恩怨，一旦发生冲突，就会升级为战争。他亲眼目睹了伯利兹帮派冲突中的许多暴力事件，包括多起凶杀案，尸体随处可见。他所在的帮派与一个规模更大、组织更完善的帮派发生冲突，后者与贩毒集团有联系，拥有更强大的资源和人脉。伯利兹是毒品走私的重要中转站，帮派冲突与贩毒集团的活动密切相关。

Here's a little teaser from this week's patreon episode, with Sean on the ground in Belize doing a bigger story and sharing some of his work along the way. To get access to bonus episodes for $5 a month, go to www.patreon.com/theunderworldpodcast "John" grew up on the violent South Side of Belize City in the early 2000s, when a vicious turf war between Crips and Bloods tore up the neighborhood. Nowadays, with guns readily available and cartels lurking, it's a different, more dangerous scene. Part of a series on the Central American nation's struggles with organized crime (sorry about the breaks and occasional bus).
