'MS-13' is one of nation's most dangerous gangs
MSNBC ^ | Feb 13, 2006 | 'Rita Cosby

In-depth look its members, enemies and its threat to our national security

• MS-13 gang Officials believe MS-13 is one of the most dangerous gangs in the United States. MSNBC-TV's Rita Cosby takes an in-depth look at the members, their enemies, and why the battle against MS-13 is so critical to our security. MSNBC

Some of the most notorious and dangerous criminals in the United States are part of one gang. It's not the Bloods, it's not the Crips, but a gang called MS-13. 'Live and Direct' takes MSNBC into the streets to investgate how the gang is terrorizing neighborhoods and treating their friends and enemies with brutal, bloody force.

This gang has committed one of the most] horrific crime scenes ever witnessed by law enforcement, young men, women and children brutally murdered with machetes. These innocent victims were slaughtered and dismembered for no reason at the hand of MS-13.

La Mara Salvatrucha, more commonly known as the MS-13, are considered by the FBI to be the most dangerous gang in the U.S., leaving their mark from El Salvador to Honduras to Guatemala to New Mexico, and now on U.S. soil.

In the last decade, the United States has experienced a dramatic increase in the number and size of this transnational street gang, which has quickly became a nationwide problem.

If you have lived here, then you know that a lot of people STILL don't know that NM is a state. I won't bore you with the stories of credit card companies, ticket agencies, etc. that don't understand why people here don't need a passport to go to Texas.

Gangs are urban terrorists and should be treated as such.
Ive been saying this for 25 years. Nobody will do what has to be done to deal with them. So, we live with it, and will continue to do so.

That map is not quite correct.

There are established MS-13 gangs in Martinsburg WV too.

they've been here for quite some time. Our govt leaders think they are harmless. Maybe a few of our congressmen and senators would like to have these guys as a houseguest sometime to exchange cultural values?

One day Americans will realize that we are in a war, right here, right now. We will know that it's not just the "evil doers", but evil personified committing acts of war against each of us when they attack just one of us. We will finally realize that it truly is a war and that only we are playing by "the rules" and that "the rules" work against us.

With that realization, a united American anarchy will rise up against those who want to prey upon us, attack us and take our peace from us. Many of us are not just Americans, but armed Americans who will not idly sit by and watch.

There is a part of the national American psyche that lives and breathes Death Wish vengeance. It just needs to be awakened. Once awakened, it is unstoppable by any outside force. Only the traitors within, the American political opposites, can beat us...if they can fool enough of us. But that's a big if. I pray the national awakening comes soon and I believe that prayer is being answered. Suffice it to say, the next elections are critical.

"How could the politicians could allow these harmless "immigrants' into our nation?"

There's only one reason that makes any sense at all. These millions of illegals represent the temporary fix of our Social Security system that has been raided by the politicians to fund everything else.

It is indeed a war. They are everywhere and getting stronger. This is some fun they were having a few nights ago in NVA.


Gunfire Hits Seven Loudoun Homes
Man Wounded; Gang Rivalry Is Suspected

By Candace Rondeaux
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, July 20, 2006; Page A01

A 47-year-old man was critically wounded while he slept early yesterday as gunmen fired as many as 30 rounds into seven homes in Loudoun County in what investigators suspect was escalating gang warfare.

The shootings lasted about 30 minutes, ending about 1:45 a.m. in the Sterling Park neighborhood, Loudoun authorities said. Other residents were in their homes, but there were no other injuries.

On 9/12, Bush should have secured the borders and placed the NG, every swinging dick who wasn't already overseas on the border...both of them.
And started deporting every illegal in America.
Either we are at war or we are not at war.
What this country needs is a good enema!

MS-13, cripes, bloods, and other gangs.. especially the russian(and other) mafias are all mafias..

The local police know where many of them live and operate..

Whats obsene is doing literally NOTHING about them.. even more obsene than what they do daily.. 90% percent of the crime is perpetrated by 10% of the crimnals.. maybe 5%...

Where are the politicians that will make the criminals afraid of US?.. Used to be some politicians ran on a law enforcment position.. Being a member of a gang should demand hard labor for life busting rocks.. any agression by them should require death.. Let that news get on the street..

Never happen though, as long there are one or two democrats voting still.. Worse than being a gang member is being a democrat.. that protects gangs..

I strongly suspect that the enormous profits made possible by the WOD are at the heart of most,if not all, gangs operating in the U.S. End the WOD, re-legalize and regulate, deny these criminals their chief revenue source. The gangs depend on the WOD. No WOD would be devastating to gangs.
