Eastie?? Is that a real world?

I had been trying to write a fictional story about a Mexican-Islamic terrorist cell in the US. I gave it up when my father died last year. I called it the The Ghost & the shadow and set it in late 2013... I guess I should have set it in 2007

A burgeoning East Boston-based street gang made up of alleged rapists and machete-wielding robbers has been linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network, prompting Boston police to ``turn up the heat'' on its members...
The Boston police don't "turn up the heat" unless there's an al-Qaeda link?

"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.

What a bunch of sick animals. If Abortion Protesters fall under Rico for demonstrating.....why are these vicious criminals allowed to run free.

Why are'nt these pig's asses in jail???

[AmericanChef]

Oh *sniff* but they're just pooooor *sniff* immigrants who came here to work *sob*. I hope they catch 'em and have a little accidental dumping of the creeps into the ocean.

A manhunt has been launched for the second fugitive, who is in the country illegally, Boston police said.

YEP, ILLEGAL ALIENS... I thought so. And Kerry wanted amnesty for all illegals. If 9/11 didn't wake up New York enough to reject the full amnesty plan by Kerry, then seriously, does anyone think there would be liberal support for deporting illegals?? Hell no. Libs think when they are in charge they will be able to outmaneuver any fanatical gang be they Islamofascist nutbombs, or Mexican/El Salvadorian machete swingers... but they are mistaken. The elites are protected and really, admit it, that's all that counts. The little peons in this country have ZERO rights to expect equal protection.

Thanks King Bush for dictating your open border policy on middle class America. Obviously the elites like Bush are above having someone rape or murder a family member they are protected from such crime and always have been. The rest of America is forced to deal with criminals, higer taxes, failing and overcrowded schools and ERs that are packed with people recieving free health care while taxpaying law abiding citizens go further in debt.

[Towed_Jumper]

When I look at that picture of this gang banger all I can think of is that the barbarians have already breached the wall. But then, I realize, there is no wall being manned by our soldiers and/or police. (I live in Arizona...trust me, there's nothing down on the border keeping out the hoards.)

[WyCoKsRepublican]

Can you spell deport? Any questions?

[Beckwith]

Thank the Harvard whackjobs and liberal loonies from Somerville who have one of those sister-city relationships with San Salvador.

This article does not even begin to describe to extent of MS13. Mara Salvatrucha, the MS-13 gang, a network of Marxist paramilitary guerillas from El Salvador, is one of the most dangerous Latino gangs in the United States. It is unique among gangs within the US in that it maintains active ties with members and factions in El Salvador.

More than one million people fled from El Salvador civil war in the 80s and 90s. The Salvadorian refugees and immigrants initially settled California and Washington, D.C.. Some had ties with La Mara, a violent street gang from El Salvador. Others had been members of the Marxist paramilitary group Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMNL) during the war. FMNL was made up of Salvadorian peasants who were trained as Marxist guerilla fighters. Many were adept at using explosives, firearms, and booby traps.

Most settled in the established Hispanic neighborhoods of the "Rampart" area of Los Angeles. In the late 1980s, members of La Mara and FMNL formed what is now known as the Mara Salvatrucha (MS) street gang in Los Angeles. MS quickly developed a reputation for being organized and extremely violent. MS membership continues to be fed by refugees from groups like FMNL.

Bush 2004 campaign supporter Hector "El Loco" Hernandez displays a "W" sign outside local GOP headquarters. Hernandez says he supports the President for signing muliple extensions of "Temporary Protected Status" amnesties for Central American illegal immigrants. "Thanks to Boosh - I got it made", remarked Hernandez, "I can stay forever! I 'specially like too how he fight so I can keep my matricular card and driver's license"
