El Salvador MS-13 Street-Gang Located In New York

a reply to: FarleyWayne

My uncle owned E&M Motorcycle in South St Louis and everyone in the family helped out at the shop so we all knew bikers of all shapes and sizes, some were criminal others were not. Just because your in a biker gang doesn't make you a automatic criminal. Just like going on vacation doesn't automatically make you tourist.

THEY ARE to be WATCHED according to the FBI.

My 1st-Suspicion is that these El Salvador Folks were assisted by the Immigration-Process.

( they all being under 18, they must have been "assisted" by someone or someones )

-

Regardless-of-Who, these Crimes might-could be considered ... Assisted-Crimes?

( or crimes-with-accomplices? )
.

Ms 13 is all over America. Just because your Ms 13 doesn't mean you are from south America.

To much money in the drug war and not enough money in the economy for it to be any other way

MS 13 was actually helped along by immigration policy - They were formed in LA back in the 80's by Central American immigrants, many with paramilitary experience from the wars in Central America. Many were deported for criminal activity in the 90's, where they now established their gang in their homeland, and it spread through Central America and Mexico like wild fire, while still maintaining their presence in the US. Now, not only are the members of this gang immigrates, but you now have 2nd and 3rd generation American citizens joining the gang. It started out as a small neighborhood street gang on the streets of LA, but it is now an international criminal organization, involved in everything from petty street crime up to international drug trafficking.

Pretty much.

This isn't exactly news. Not knocking rhe OP, its just that NY is a microcosm of world crime. These scum bags hide out in the south bronx and rarely venture out because most are wise to their BS and keep them at arms length.

I had a run in with these ass hats once. They are usually scrawny little crap stains that work in packs. Just shut down the lead jerk and the rest scramble. Their unity and thus their strength lies in fear. Break the illusion and they run. In NY they carry box cutters and screw drivers, not AKs.

One most definitely doesn't wear Hells Angels colours unless they are Hells Angels.
MS13 are very bad news.

No. But it helps.

MS-13 is here in my town, since it's a prison town, a lot of other gangs are well represented, too.

It's a real joy to drive around town and see gang tags everywhere you look.

Samoan. Bloods. Crips. Peckerwoods (white supremists...and, yes, that's what they call themselves.). ...and a host of other gangs. The meth trade is flourishing here...a real export business.

One of the reasons I'm leaving very soon...within the next couple of years. 'cause frankly I've grown just a bit tired of it all. The cops can't/won't do anything. The state is too lazy. I haven't noticed any DEA/ATF "secret" agents around either. ...and they aren't nearly as sneaky as they think they are. Word gets around, especially in a prison town.

I thought ms started in El Salvador prisons. Other than that it all sounds about right. They pretty much run the prisons there and that's where their leadership still reside.

Very true. But I hope you use that same logic for other gangs, as well. There were many different types of gangs where I grew up & most gang members weren't criminals at all. Most joined for protection, clout, or women. And many of the "gangs" were nothing more than friends from the neighborhood who banded together.

In fact, most of my friends from middle school & high school are gang members. Crips, Folk Nation, Gangster Disciples, and Asian Pride were the biggest but there were also 4 Corner Hustlers, M13, and others. And contrary to what you see from rappers, movies, and tv, there were rarely conflicts or violence between the groups.

Of course, there were still criminals involved, but no more than in any other section of society. Let's not forget that pastors, factory workers, businessmen, actors, and politicians can also be criminals, addicted to drugs, or worse.
