I had a fed prosecutor once tell me that the reason they have trouble prosecuting MS-13 is because they have no organizational structure; i.e., there seems to be a lack of “bosses” to go up the food chain.
No food chain needed. Exterminate as found. Every last one.
Generals without soldiers are no longer generals.
“..they have no organizational structure; i.e., there seems to be a lack of “bosses” to go up the food chain..”
Problem is, if there is a structure and they get the bosses, then the gangs splinter into multiple undisciplined sub units which go to war against each other. That’s the mechanism at work in Chicago for years.
