Police warn gang may stage rear-end collisions, assault motorists

The Central American gang involved is considered "very well armed" and dangerous.

I think we should import a few hundred thousand more of these people so we can feel even more compassionate.

I drive in L.A. a lot and anything can happen there -- especially insurance fraud "accidents." But the only confirmed gang murders as 'initiation' rites I know of were years ago in the San Francisco Zebra killings.

That said, MS-13 is very real, along with many other youth gangs around the country. I hate threads like this: the gangs might pick up some ideas.

[Mr. Jeeves]

There was a similar report involving a California town just a couple of days ago on FR. Have there been any reports of actual incidents, or is this just another urban legend making the rounds?

The latter. It was going around a few months back, too.

This recently happened on a go-cart track near here where several of the karts were bumped from behind, sometimes off the track, and the gangsters doing the bumping then went on to win the race.

That's what they do.

The pack the vehicles full of passengers and every one claims injury. These rear end collisions can result in tens of thousands of dollars for the occupants, corrupt attorneys and chiropractors.

Many times the illegal aliens and others have connections to totally corrupt attorneys and chiropractors, and all the alleged injured go to the same doctors and attorneys.

Many times each one of the injured goes to one appointment at their corrupt chiropractor, and then the chiropractor signs them in himself for the next 20 visits or appointments, (they never even show up) and the corrupt chiropractor charges the poor guys insurance company for every visit...The fraud just goes on and on.

First read flag is multiple occupants in the clown car.

“I hate threads like this: the gangs might pick up some ideas.”

Very good point. Sometimes with these urban legends some nitwit says “hahaha it would be funny to put syringes in a payphone slot like I herd about in that email” and you end up with a self fulfilling prophecy.

I know the streets and know all about the shenanigans that go on, but in this case with the “gang collision” scenario it is the result of trolls* spreading disinfo. * note that is not directed at the OP.

“Zebra killings”

Wow. That is one that doesn’t come up often. Crazy stuff, death squads or death angels or whatever the hell they called themselves.

IIRC those dudes were NOI?

[brytlea]

Those SUVs are armed, they kill people all the time.

[TightyRighty]

Reminds me of one in high school where we were told to be careful because gang members were hiding under cars to cut Achille tendons.

Beggin’ yer pardun, Mr. Jeeves, read the snopes link at Post #26.

Did you read it?

"It's one of those urban legends, and there's no factual basis for this," a police source said about the department's warning.

[freema]

Try reading the WHOLE thing.

[Ole Okie]

My beeber is already stuned. A hugh and series development!

[Bernard Marx]

Correct. I was there and it was a very scary time, considering what else was happening around then: Symbionese Liberation Army, Black Panther violence, etc. ZEBRA

[redstateconfidential]

I have proposed for a long time that MS-13 members be shot on sight, they are NOT human beings and are easily identified by their tattoos.

[mysterio]

Snopes says the validity of this is undetermined.

>This story is completly true. In Miami my fahter was rearended by a car full of blacks. It was just a tap and my father was pulling over when he saw the “blood vessel” was packed with young men. He stepped on it and they chased him for a few blocks until he drove by the police station.<

The CURE for this is to install a trailer hitch. Take out the radiator of anyone who hits you from behind.

[AFreeBird]

You have made a Hugh and Series mistake. And you've been hanging around here, how long?

Tsk, tsk, tsk....

[sionnsar]

Leaving the scene of an accident?

[DTogo]

I can't believe this is happening while George "walks-on-water" Bush is President, and we have a Department of Homeland Security to keep us all safe from attacks...
