You should see my home state of MD. Oh my gosh, it’s not even recognizable anymore. And the MS-13 gangs live around and close to where my mother lives.
I’ve known about the MS-13 gangs for several years...
I didnt thinl we had any in SE TN...
about 3 years ago I happened to read an article in a local Sunday paper about some MS-13 gang members being arrested for the murder of another gang member in our area..
Tje body of the man had been found in another county but the murder occurred in our county...
I called the local law enforcment to ask about the gang activity in our town,,,
I was told they had been watching the MS-13 for MONTHS...
I was shocked and I told the man that MS-13 were extremely dangerous ...
I asked if they knew about the presence why they had not warned the people in our county...
We have a lot of elderly folk living kind of isolated out in the county and they could not protect themselves in a home invasion...
I was told that they “did not want to fighten anyone”
I told the man that that decesion was irresponsible because like me my neighbors thought we were safe in our area and did not take a lot of precautions...
I started locking my house up even tighter at night from that time on...
