Feds: One of the MS-13 leaders in Maryland faces life in prison
Capital Gazette ^ | 9/7/18 | E.B. Furgurson III

Posted on 09/07/2018 6:17:06 PM PDT by markomalley

A leader of MS-13 in Maryland from Severn pleaded guilty Friday to a conspiracy to participate in MS-13; attempted murder in aid of racketeering; and using and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence.

Jose Augustin Salmeron-Larios, 25, faces life in prison for his involvement in the transnational gang.

“Salmeron-Larios’ arrest and conviction have dealt a significant blow to MS-13 in Maryland,” U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur said in a prepared statement. “As the founder and leader of the Maryland Program, Salmeron-Larios organized and coordinated violence, drug trafficking and extortion among six cliques operating in the Maryland area.”

MS-13 is a gang composed primarily of immigrants or descendants of immigrants from El Salvador, with members operating in Maryland. MS-13 operates in branches or cliques. There were six cliques named in Hur’s press release, which also explained those cliques work together in “programs.”

Pleads guilty to avoid the death penalty. He gets life to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars to house, feed and provide a safe environment for the rest of his life. Wow, what justice, justice for whom? The murdered, their family, taxpayers, society? Whom?

Every MS-13 convicted of a crime should be air-drooped into the heart of Mexico City. Rinse. Repeat, until Mexico pays for the wall.

MS-13 is from El Salvador.

And they should be dropped on the houses of the US politicians that support MS-13 being here, such as Nancy Pelosi. MS-13 wouldn’t have a presence at all without their support.

Florence ADX would at least mitigate some of that with a lifetime of isolation and disorientation.

Why? Deut. 19:21: You must show no pity for the guilty! Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Certainly saves a lot of money.

Five other MS-13 in MD just got sentenced to long prison terms, supposedly followed by deportation, for armed robbery and attempted murder.

The thing is that LEOs in MD knew these guys were illegals and gang members but MD is essentially a sanctuary state, so don’t think too highly of this story. It’s an exception to the Dims rule on illegals.

In any truly civilized society criminals such as this ILLEGAL immigrant would be tried, convicted, and publicly hanged within 10 days of their apprehension.

Feinstein & Pelosi need to be taken to that prison & shown this MS-13 jerk face to face.

Both of them refuse to admit MS-13 even exists.

Notice the Capital Gazette’s use of the term “immigrant” or descendants of immigrants, not “illegal aliens”.

Need I say more?

You mean that the Capital Gazette followed the AP Style Guide?

They should come to Houston and meet some of the MS-13 members invilved in murders here. One guy had a wire on and was killed by a machete attack by several men suspected of perpetrating several murders. There was a teenaged girl who was kidnapped, raped for days, and when she knocked over their shrine was assaulted and killed.

No death penalty in Maryland.
