Slew of MS-13 Members From El Salvador Charged With Murder of Teenagers in Virginia
Townhall ^ | June 22, 2018 | Katie Pavlich

The Department of Justice announced murder and kidnapping charges for eleven MS-13 gang members in Alexandria, Virginia Friday morning. All of them are from El Salvador, range in age from 20 to 27-years old and are being prosecuted for the killing of teenagers Edvin Escobar Mendez and Sergio Arita Triminio.

One of the defendants is not in custody and suspected of being out of the country. The other ten are being held in federal detention. Whether the members are in the U.S. illegally is unclear.

"While we note in the press release that all of the defendants are from El Salvador, we did not include any information as to their immigration status," U.S. Attorney’s Office Director of Communications for the Eastern District of Virginia Joshua Stueve tells Townhall.

From DOJ:

According to allegations in the indictment, in August 2016, Elmer Zelaya Martinez, Erick Palacios Ruiz, Ronald Herrera Contreras, and Josue Vigil Mejia conspired together and with others to lure a 17 year-old male [Mendez], who they suspected was a member of a rival gang, to a park in Fairfax County, Virginia, in order to attack and kill him. After killing him and to conceal evidence linking them to the juvenile’s disappearance and murder, these four defendants and their co-conspirators buried the juvenile’s remains.

The indictment further alleges that in September 2016, Elmer Zelaya Martinez, Erick Palacios Ruiz, Ronald Herrera Contreras, Henry Zelaya Martinez, Oscar Contreras Aguilar, Yonathan Melgar Martinez, Pablo Miguel Barrera Velasco, Anderson Villatoro, Francisco Avila Avalos, and Fredys Baires Abarca conspired together and with others to lure a 14 year-old male [Triminio] to the same park in Fairfax County where he was attacked and killed because he was thought to be cooperating with law enforcement. This juvenile’s remains were also buried.

Each of the following members face life in prison if convicted.

Put a $10,000, no questions asked bounty per head on these wetback maggots and watch the numbers plummet.

Why not tell us whether or not they'll illegal? We deserve to know!

This is beyond horrible.

I have to hand it to the Trump Administration. That they can keep their cool while this insanity continues is far beyond my ability to stay calm. I can imagine our President having a level of frustration that is more than any human being could withstand.

I remember the Russians storming a school held by Chechnyan terrorists holding kids hostage and blasting every last one of those to where they think virgins wait for them. Not an incident from that region since.

I can imagine an America from days gone by where these MS-13 killers would get a morning trial and a hanging the same afternoon.

Now we have a media that won’t touch it and a press that won’t even dare say what the immigration status of the killers is.

Meanwhile, our President pleads to pay attention to the ‘permanent separation’ these animals have made to the murdered kids and their parents.

Now here’s a bit of info blast from last summer when George Webb was covering MS-13 murders in Virginia. Andrew McCabe had some of his underlings spring some MS-13 out of jail to do some dirty deeds. Yes, MS-13 were used as hitmen by democrat operatives. Many killings this way, not just Seth Rish. And not just in Virginia.

So there you have it. MS-13 are part of the Democrat’s murder for hire resource. I don’t care if they get triggered by me saying it, they can sue me.

Now, now. Remember their “sparks of divinity”. Your attitude should be more nurturing.

.……..I think we need a SUPER/super max just for MS 13 punks.

1 hour a day in the sunlight for 50 years, 23 hours per day in a closet.

Better punishment than death.

Better yet, round them up, genetically type them. and hold them captive until you can use at least 80% of their donatable organs. Gets rid of them, cuts into the Chicom’s business, and creates some good out of a bad situation.

A quick glance shows this story has NO NATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE and is limited to only a few outlets in the DC area.

Gee, what a surprise.

The other ten are being held in federal detention.

OMG! Please don't tell me they are being separated from their families. That is beyond cruel. That's not who we are!

The jury must be made up of their peers: since you speak English, you'll be excused.
