I watched a documentary on this the other night, and it was frightening. This gang is vicious and International. They take over entire neighborhoods and shake down business owners. They've spread to 43 states now and law enforcement officials are having a tough time keeping these cold blooded killers under control.

Those are some scary people. Oprah talked about it on the show and it was frightening. Lisa Ling went inside the prison and they had plotted to kidnap and her the camera crew.

That's the documentary I saw...the one with Lisa Ling. She did have to cancel going to that prison after learning about the kidnap plot. I'm pretty sure the documentary was on MSNBC, and they're probably showing it again. It's very interesting and VERY scary. This gang is spreading like wildfire.

That's some pretty scary stuff for sure!! Thank God they haven't found any ties between them, and Al Qaeda. And I hope they never do. I'm going to keep an eye out for that documentary. It sounds very interesting.

I've heard of them. I just don't get what drives people to go out and intentionally threaten, harm, and even kill innocent people. I really have lost so much faith in the human race. I wonder why God just doesn't kill us all and start all over.

I have to edit my post just in case. :lookaroun
Anyway, people who do things like that shouldn't deserve to be called human beings. I have very strong opinions about gangs, but I'll just leave it at that.

I see a bunch of those MS-13 kids whenever I go to downtown L.A. They're nothing but immature brats. :o *yawn*
The gang just grew into something not even they can control.

They may have been unorganized at one time, but that's all changed. These gang members are not merely brats. A couple of their signature atrocities is cutting off heads, and cutting off genitals and feeding it to their dogs. Members who try to leave the gang are automatically killed, no questions asked.
They are vicious killers.
