TONACATEPEQUE, El Salvador — Police said on Wednesday they found the remains of what they believe to be eight to 10 gang victims at the bottom of a well outside El Salvador’s capital.
Five detectives were lowered about 100 feet into the well, where they found skulls, bones, hair and possibly the remains of a child, federal homicide investigator Israel Antonio Ticas said.
Police suspect the victims were killed by members of Mara Salvatrucha, a violent street gang with roots in Central America and strong ties in Houston. About two dozen of the gang members operate in and around Tonacatepeque, outside San Salvador. The victims appear to have been stabbed to death and then tossed into the well over the past two years, Ticas said.
Ticas said authorities are trying to confirm how many bodies the bones correspond to, but they believe they represent eight to 10 victims.

Blow the man down!
should we be glad that there’s 8-10 fewer to worry about, or worried about who’s bad enough to whack these guys?
Anybody for a nice cup of cool well water?....
Fortunately, they don't blend in real well.
Don’t drink the water.
But this ISN’T Sparta.
That’s what I thought, but look again.
MS 13 VICTIMS, not members.
They aren’t MS-13 members. They are MS-13 victims.
there i go again, letting myself get misled by the headline.
All MS-13... ALL of them... need to be killed.
It looked like that to me at first too.
Ten down, many more to go.
Crap, they weren’t dead MS-13 a-holes? Damned headline got my hopes up.
Same here.
Yeah, me too.
Darn it.
All’s well that ends well...............

Yes, this gang is very active in California; one of the most violent gangs around — feared by everyone.
Now...where can we get ourselves some of those “wells?”
Some people just NEED killing! There should be a bounty on anyone with gang tats.
