This is terrifying!
From the above link:
"MS-13,
also called Mara Salvatrucha,
is believed to have been founded as a neighborhood street gang in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s
by immigrants fleeing a civil war in El Salvador.
The gang is now a major international criminal enterprise,
with tens of thousands of members in several Central American countries
and many U.S. states, according to the U.S. Department of Justice."
From wiki:
"Mara Salvatrucha
members are involved in the trafficking of narcotics,
primarily
cocaine and
marijuana, into the United States,
as well as the transportation and distribution of illicit drugs throughout the U.S.
Conversely, the gang is engaged in the trafficking of stolen vehicles from the U.S. to Central America.
MS-13 also utilizes intimidation and violence to
extort payment from legal and illegal businesses operating in its territory.
Members partake in additional criminal activities including:
-
alien smuggling,
- weapons trafficking,
- assault,
- homicide,
- rape,
- kidnapping,
- identification theft,
- home invasions,
- carjackings,
- prostitution,
- robbery, and vandalism.
..…..
MS-13
are notorious for their violence and a
subcultural moral code based on merciless retribution.
Aspirants are beaten for 13 seconds as an
initiation to join the gang,
a ritual known as a "beat-in".
At least one faction of MS-13 – the Fulton clique in
Los Angeles –
has required prospective members to commit a murder
in order to be considered for full-fledged membership."
