In the last few days there have been two horrific shooting incidents in the Chicago area attributed to gang activity. They both involved high powered rifle fire in “execution style” multiple killings. To me this just screams M-13, although I haven’t seen this mentioned in the reports.
MS13s weapon of choice to get their point (no pun intended) is/was the machete.
When the police come across multiple homicides where bodies are hacked apart you can bet MS13 was sending a message.
