Eastie?? Is that a real world?
"In recent months, intelligence officials in Washington have warned"
"form the North Shore Gang Intelligence task force in 2000"
Sounds to me like they're about five years too late (as usual) on this "clamp down".
This is a another sterling example of why DIVERSITY needs to be posted on all of our school-room walls as one of America's Core Democratic Values.
Also one has to wonder how legitimate immigrants who have fled their native land because of just what these gangs are doing, feel when it is happening to them again in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
When I see pictures like the one above, I have conflicting emotions and feelings, ranging from nausea, to sadness, to all-consuming anger. What is becoming of our beloved country?
I sometimes saw these people hanging out at Revere Beach at night. Scared the bejeezus out of me.
I also had no idea about that Somerville attack. My lord.

Man's Fingers Severed In Va. Machete Attack
Gang Suspected in Multiplex Incident
A Fairfax man walking from a Merrifield movie theater was attacked late Monday by several men -- one of them wielding a machete -- and in the flurry of blows, three fingers were severed from the victim's left hand, police said yesterday.
The attack was similar to one in the Alexandria area in May, in which a teenager lost four fingers in a machete onslaught. Police believe that the assailants in both cases were members of the street gang Mara Salvatrucha. Three men have pleaded guilty in the first case; the assailants in Monday night's attack remain at large.
You don't understand... ;) The Liberals BLAME America for these Salvadorian gangs. They say that they learned this lifestyle originally in the US and California. Therefore, it would be unfair for us to deport them.
What a bunch of sick animals. If Abortion Protesters fall under Rico for demonstrating.....why are these vicious criminals allowed to run free.
They don't turn up the heat unless it's something they can get Homeland Security funding to go after. "Hey, we got a bunch of AlQ shoplifting cells!"
This is frigging wild. How things have changed for the worst. When I lived there a 'made man' could double, even triple park his car and never get a tagged with a ticket from the cops. It was area which was tight, most people knew each other. This crap would not be tolerated.
They might have gotten some of the tattoos and trappings of gangsterism from the West Coast (or from MTV), but gangs have long been a problem in Latin America, where there is a weak and corrupt police presence and the gangs have been able to control entire towns unopposed.
It might happen pretty soon.
I don't think we have to wait for Mexicans. We have plenty of domestic thugs who are converting to Islam in our prisons, and some of them have indeed gone out and set up shop for AQ when they get out (think of the al Fuqra movement, a black group that has terrorist training camps all over the country, or the terrorists arrested in Seattle and Portland in recent years).
Gang activity makes losers feel powerful. This is the same effect that Islam has on its devotees, because being given permission by their religion to be vicious and have no restraint makes them feel superior to the law-abiding, civilized (and in their view, weak) society around them.
