Federal and local law enforcement officers conducted 50 simultaneous raids in the pre-dawn hours Wednesday, taking down almost two dozen “high-ranking” suspected leaders of the notoriously violent MS-13 street gang, along with numerous Mexican Mafia leaders, in what is being described as the “largest gang raid in Los Angeles history.”

Well as long as they can all be successfully prosecuted and put away for a very long time..... but how many will be back on the streets quickly? And how many will be able to operate too freely from within prison? Maybe we need a special version of Gitmo for gang leaders, to keep them in SuperMax isolation so they can’t communicate with their gang members.
SANCTUARY!!!!!
This is kind of like trying to chop all the heads off of the Hydra.
I’m wondering if even in LA there are police ignoring their political leaders and working with the feds.
Just wondering when we will hear from “mayor” Garcetti about how awful it is that these “upstanding” people are being so mistreated.
A few years ago a similar raid was conducted in Southern California, and a bunch of MS-13 were arrested. If any of these people who were arrested in this operation were the same people who were arrested a couple of years ago, then this reprsents failure. If any of them are back out on the streets for any reason, again, this is failure. Please understand though that I am not pointing at the officers who are doing the dangerous work in arrested the gang members. It is not the officers who release the gang members back into the public.
Read about the Aryan Nation leaders Tyler Bingham and Barry Mills. They were able to communicate via codes and order hits on people inside other prisons. It took FBI code breakers to decipher their messages. So unless you totally ban all forms of communication a person can still run a criminal enterprise on the inside.
A good start.
Yeah, but that sound is sure pretty neat as the heads separate from the necks! ;-)
On second reading, I now understand the headline.
At first, I saw visions of 50 heads a-rolling.
Then I thought, “No. That level of deliberate killing by American lawmen would be ‘unpossible’ in today’s world, unless it remained a secret.
It would be a good start though!
I thought California loved immigrants.
Look up the current status of one Jeff Fort, former gang leader of what once was known as the “Blackstone Rangers”, out of Chicago.
Who funded the gang? 1968, the Rangers got the vast majority of a $990,000 grant from the LBJ administration. Later, they were funded by Libyan leader Muammar Khaddafi, which eventually led to life in Supermax without contact with a lawyer, after his lawyer passed on hit orders.
It exists. But even MS-13 isn’t the worst gang in the U.S. Ask Sean Hannity about that.
Recently they got about 80 of those in NC. A start.
Oh no! Who is Soros going to pay to do all the property damage and destruction when they create a faux race baiting event? College snowflakes?
The Times also made special note that President Donald Trump should not receive any credit for the raids—even though they occurred on his watch: “The sweep was based on sealed federal indictments orchestrated before President Trump — who has cast MS-13 as a deadly domestic scourge that his administration will wipe out — took office.”
The question is, though...would the indictments have gone forward if Hillary Clinton was in office? Would the L.A. Times even write such a paragraph if Hillary Clinton was in office? I think we know the answer to both questions. Obama had eight years to deal with street gangs if he had any interest in doing so. Instead street gangs proliferated under his watch. And it's Obama's Democrats who screech about sanctuary cities and states.
Garcetti is a principal gang leader. Was he arrested too?
50 teams with at least 5 members each all had to keep quiet or the entire effort would have been wasted. Honestly, that M-13 hasn’t got people on the LA force that would tell them about these raids....that is impressive to me.
Gotta give the LA-PD some credit for that.
Thanks to Jeff Sessions.
Gang members exist due to paying off politicians.
