I'm glad Pittsburgh doesn't have MS13

I was watching a show on them on the History Channel last night. Insane.

How do people live in cities with lots of gangs?

It is scary that people are asked to kill someone to prove their allegiance.

some gang stats in Washington and Montgomery counties in Maryland

http://gangs.umd.edu/wfrmByLocationD...nty=Washington

http://gangs.umd.edu/wfrmByLocationD...nty=Montgomery

"There is little Latino gang involvement; currently there may be fewer than 10 Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang members in Hagerstown."

alternately while Hagerstown has a sizable number of Bloods and Crips, it is not really centralized in Montgomery Co and is practically non existent, its more localized and non-affiliated in specific neighborhoods like the murder at the bus stop at out Lakeforest Mall this week, that area is relatively gang heavy for a suburb

oh yeah MS-13 is the predominant gang in Montgomery Co

MS13 has a large presence here in Omaha. They have apparently become a big enough problem here, that the FBI has decided to step in, as reported by the local news the other day.

My sisters car was stolen the other day, and the police told her that there has been a big increase of car theft in our area of the city in particular, and it is believed that MS13 has had a hand in it.

its a tricky game that has more politics then the whitehouse. and it is everywhere, though Los Angeles is definitely the apex of gang activity in the United States. Shit we export our street gangs internationally! but for most suburban white families, gang violence is for rap songs and the tv. if you dont get out of your car (i dont even have one, take the bus, have to walk some neighborhoods by default) and walk around some of these places it really will never affect you. but empathy is truth. these are mostly insecure and hopeless youth, who are just reacting out of the desperation our modern life.

Pittsburgh has crime but it isn't that bad. Someone I know had a friend who got killed by a bunch of young black guys in Garfield (a part of Pittsburgh), but that doesn't happen a lot.
